Robinhood is reportedly in talks with Crypto.com to expand its prediction market footprint.
That’s according to a report Friday (July 24) by The Wall Street Journal (WSJ), citing sources familiar with the matter. The report noted that Robinhood has so far worked with companies like Kalshi to supply betting contracts for its prediction platform, though the companies are now more like rivals than partners.
Under this proposed partnership, Crypto.com’s prediction market business would be added to Robinhood’s prediction hub, letting users place yes-or-no bets offered by the crypto company on Robinhood’s trading platform, the sources said. The report added there are no guarantees the two companies will reach an agreement.
PYMNTS has contacted Robinhood and Crypto.com for comment but hasn’t yet gotten a response. A spokesperson for Kalshi declined to comment.
A spokesperson for Robinhood told WSJ the company “will continue to partner with multiple exchanges to ensure our customers have access to a diverse and resilient marketplace.”
As the report noted, Crypto.com debuted its stand-alone prediction markets platform OG in February, and has offered prediction markets contracts through its derivatives business since late 2024. Last year, Crypto.com announced a collaboration with President Trump’s media business to introduce prediction markets directly on the social media platform Truth Social, though that has yet to launch.
Kalshi, meanwhile, has been at the forefront of the prediction wave in the U.S., seeing $27 billion in volume for World Cup-related markets, versus around $1 billion for the Super Bowl.
Kalshi CEO Tarek Mansour told WSJ the company plans to expand its range of tradable assets beyond just events-based contracts, and called Robinhood a top competitor.
“They’re a partner of ours at the same time they’re competing with us, and I think that’s also great,” he said. “We’ll see who ends up with a better product.”
In other prediction market news, PYMNTS wrote last week about the industry’s contribution to a world in which gambling “is no longer simply a single, static industry,” thanks to the rise of companies like Kalshi, sports betting apps, and crypto exchanges.
“As artificial intelligence personalizes financial products, prediction markets and digital commerce, it will create new questions for executives across financial services, media and digital commerce,” that report said. “The future may not involve convincing consumers to gamble more. It may involve making every digital interaction feel just uncertain enough that they cannot resist checking one more time.”
Bank of Japan zasedá 30.–31. července a trh čeká ponechání sazby na 1 %. Pokud ale výhled zní jestřáběji, může posílení jenu tlačit na Bitcoin přes carry trade.
27 July 2026 | 00:20 The Bank of Japan holds its next monetary policy meeting on July 30 and 31, six weeks after raising its policy rate to 1%, the highest level in 31 years.
Key Takeaways BOJ meets July 30–31, after the Fed. Markets expect rates to remain at 1%. The Outlook Report is the main variable. Faster hikes would strengthen the yen. Government pressure complicates the policy path. Bitcoin’s risk comes through carry trades. Markets place little probability on another immediate hike. The focus is whether Governor Kazuo Ueda and the Policy Board encourage investors to expect the following move earlier than the current consensus.
Bitcoin is absent from the meeting agenda. The Bank of Japan’s published schedule lists the monetary policy statement, quarterly Outlook Report and Ueda’s press conference, with no mention of cryptocurrency.
The connection is indirect. A more restrictive policy path strengthens the yen, raises Japanese bond yields and makes borrowing in Japan to finance investments elsewhere less attractive. A rapid reduction in those positions puts pressure on Bitcoin alongside equities and other liquid risk assets.
BOJ Guidance Has Already Moved the Yen On July 22, Bloomberg reported that BOJ officials were open to raising rates faster than economists anticipated if continued yen weakness added to inflation risk. Policymakers reportedly saw growing evidence that companies were passing higher costs on to consumers.
The yen strengthened and short-term Japanese government bond yields rose after the report. USD/JPY fell towards 162.65 from above 163, despite the bank making no official policy announcement.
That reaction shows how sensitive markets are to the timing of the next move. Most BOJ watchers expect another hike in December, while a Reuters poll conducted before the June decision found that 86% of economists put the rate at 1.25% by the end of 2026. October and December were the most common forecasts.
The July Outlook Report will test that timetable. Language supporting a faster pace pulls the next hike forward, while a more cautious assessment reverses some of the yen strength and bond-market repricing already in place.
A Hold at 1% Remains the Base Case Financial markets have most likely largely priced out a July move. The BOJ raised rates by 25 basis points in June, while Japan’s core consumer inflation remained at 1.6% that month, below the 2% target for a fifth consecutive reading.
Tokyo inflation data, published before the national figures, remains one of the earliest signals capable of shifting rate expectations.
The tightening cycle likely has further to run. In a June 3 speech, Ueda said the bank would continue raising rates if economic activity, prices and financial conditions developed in line with its outlook.
The BOJ’s April projections placed inflation between 2.5% and 3% for fiscal 2026. The bank also warned that yen weakness raises the cost of imported fuel, food and raw materials.
Reuters sources indicate that the July report may lift the fiscal 2026 growth forecast while retaining the warning about an inflation overshoot. Import costs and strong demand linked to artificial intelligence investment offset some of the relief created by lower oil prices.
The likely outcome is an unchanged rate accompanied by guidance that keeps another hike firmly under consideration.
The Government Wants Lower Rates and a Stronger Yen Domestic politics complicate the BOJ’s position.
Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi entered office promising investment-led growth supported by heavy public spending, an agenda that benefits from lower borrowing costs. Reuters reported in June that her government was trying to restore a more dovish balance on the BOJ board. Her first appointee, Toichiro Asada, voted against the June hike.
Former BOJ board member Makoto Sakurai described personnel appointments as the administration’s strongest lever, since direct public criticism of monetary policy risks unsettling markets. The government’s first economic blueprint also calls for policy to support its growth programme.
Yet further yen weakness raises import prices and household expenses. Toshihiro Nagahama, a government panel member and economic adviser to Takaichi, said in July that the BOJ should continue raising rates gradually to correct excessive currency depreciation.
The government therefore favours slower tightening while also wanting relief from a weak yen. That conflict makes a surprise move less attractive, and it also limits the bank’s ability to signal that the hiking cycle is finished.
The Federal Reserve Sets the Backdrop First The Federal Open Market Committee meets on July 28 and 29, two days before the BOJ decision. Its target range currently stands at 3.5% to 3.75%.
Markets are not fully committed to a hold. CME FedWatch put the probability of an unchanged range at 62.1%, leaving 37.9% odds of a hike to 3.75%-4%.
Federal Reserve target rate probabilities for the upcoming July 29, 2026 meeting. That pricing matters for how the BOJ decision lands. A US hike would widen the rate gap and cushion the yen against hawkish Japanese guidance two days later. A hold accompanied by softer language would leave the yen more exposed to whatever the BOJ signals.
July is a non-projection meeting, so there will be no updated dot plot. Markets will instead focus on the statement and Chair Kevin Warsh’s press conference.
The wide gap between US and Japanese rates helps preserve the appeal of borrowing in yen and investing in higher-yielding dollar assets. USD/JPY responds to expectations for both central banks, and yen weakness through 2026 has tracked the US path as closely as the Japanese one.
A hawkish Fed supports the dollar and softens the effect of stricter BOJ guidance. A more dovish Fed makes a hawkish signal from Japan more powerful by favouring yen appreciation from both sides of the exchange rate.
How the Yen Carry Trade Reaches Bitcoin The yen carry trade involves borrowing in Japan at comparatively low rates, converting the funds into another currency and investing in assets offering higher potential returns.
The position remains attractive while Japanese funding stays cheap and the yen fails to strengthen enough to erase the investment gain. When rate expectations rise or the currency appreciates sharply, those trades become less profitable and often need to be reduced.
Bitcoin feels the effect without ever being purchased with borrowed yen. Such financing is used across equities, bonds, currencies and derivatives, so when losses or margin requirements increase, funds sell liquid assets across their portfolios.
Institutional carry positions take days or weeks to unwind. Crypto derivatives react faster, since leveraged perpetual positions are liquidated within hours once prices move against crowded traders. We documented that pattern in March, when a single risk-off session wiped out $588 million in crypto positions, roughly $493 million of it long.
Bitcoin is particularly exposed during those periods because it trades continuously and can be sold while traditional markets are closed. James Butterfill, CoinShares’ head of research, described carry-trade reversals as global liquidity shocks rather than isolated currency events.
The greatest risk emerges when Japanese rate expectations rise, the yen strengthens and leveraged investors begin cutting positions at the same time.
Four Ways the BOJ Decision Could Play Out BOJ Outcomes and the Likely Bitcoin Impact Scenario Likelihood Policy Outcome Yen / Bond Reaction Bitcoin & Risk Asset Impact Balanced Hold Most likely Rates at 1%; future moves left dependent on inflation, wages and growth Reverses part of the recent yen strength and bond-yield rise Neutral; Fed decision, ETF flows and market structure take over Hawkish Hold Live risk Rates at 1%; growth forecast lifted, inflation-overshoot warning retained Yen strengthens; next hike priced forward from December to October or September Negative if derivatives leverage is elevated when the report lands Surprise Hike Least likely Rates unexpectedly raised to 1.25% Rapid yen rally; Japanese bond yields move sharply higher Clearest downside; forced selling appears fast in round-the-clock crypto markets Dovish Hold Possible Rates at 1%; weak consumption and softer core inflation emphasised Yen weakens; cheap funding preserved Short-term support, with higher intervention risk later Rates Stay at 1% With Balanced Guidance This probably remains the most likely and least disruptive result.
The BOJ leaves future moves dependent on inflation, wages and growth without indicating that the next hike is imminent. A cautious Outlook Report would probably reverse part of the yen strength and bond-yield rise seen this week.
Bitcoin then might respond more to the Federal Reserve’s decision, ETF flows and its own market structure than to Japan.
Rates Stay at 1% With a Hawkish Outlook An unchanged rate still pressures risk assets if the BOJ lifts its growth forecast, retains its inflation-overshoot warning or suggests that the interval between hikes may shorten.
Traders would pull expectations for the next move forward from December towards October or September. That supports the yen and raises the cost of maintaining short-yen positions.
An official BOJ document carries more weight than a report based on unnamed sources, so the reaction would likely exceed what markets showed on July 22. Bitcoin’s response depends heavily on how much leverage sits in derivatives markets when the announcement arrives.
The BOJ Unexpectedly Raises Rates to 1.25% This is the least likely outcome and the clearest short-term downside risk.
Markets have largely priced out a July move, the bank acted only in June, and BOJ decisions are normally prepared through public communication. Political pressure for a gentler path further reduces the incentive to surprise investors.
That positioning is what would make an unexpected hike disruptive. Markets would need to reassess both the current rate and the timing of future tightening, producing a rapid yen rally and higher Japanese bond yields.
Forced selling might appear quickly in Bitcoin because crypto markets remain open around the clock.
A Dovish Hold Delays the Next Move The BOJ emphasises weak consumption, economic uncertainty or the recent softening in core inflation.
That could weaken the yen and preserve cheap funding, offering short-term support to Bitcoin and other risk assets.
Further currency depreciation carries a later cost. Higher import prices increase political pressure and raise the probability of a stronger response from either the BOJ or Japan’s Ministry of Finance.
Currency Intervention Remains a Separate Risk Foreign-exchange intervention is authorised by the Ministry of Finance and executed by the BOJ as its agent. It requires no monetary policy meeting and arrives without advance notice.
Finance Minister Satsuki Katayama has repeatedly warned against excessive currency moves as the yen weakened during 2026. A confirmed intervention would produce a sharp appreciation within minutes.
For Bitcoin, the immediate effect resembles a surprise rate hike. A sudden yen rally places pressure on leveraged carry positions even while the policy rate stays unchanged.
A dovish BOJ decision therefore lowers the immediate rate risk while raising the chance of intervention if USD/JPY climbs further.
July 2024 Shows How an Unwind Can Escalate The BOJ raised its policy rate to 0.25% on July 31, 2024, alongside a plan to reduce purchases of Japanese government bonds.
The yen had already begun strengthening, and the decision accelerated the change in rate expectations. Investors started cutting leveraged positions financed in the Japanese currency.
Pressure intensified days later when weak US employment data triggered the Sahm Rule recession indicator, alongside soft manufacturing figures. Bitcoin fell more than 15% on August 5 and briefly traded below $50,000, while equities and other cryptocurrencies also declined.
Describing the event as a BOJ-driven Bitcoin crash would leave out important causes. The rate hike, yen appreciation, US recession fears and crowded positioning arrived within the same period.
Bitcoin’s worst week of 2026 followed the same shape, with ETF outflows, forced liquidations and a macro rotation hitting at once.
The broader crypto sell-off reflected a global retreat from risk, with the carry-trade reversal amplifying pressure that weak US data had already created.
January 2025 Shows Why Expectations Matter The BOJ raised its policy rate to 0.5% on January 24, 2025. Unlike the July 2024 move, the increase had been clearly signalled and was widely anticipated.
The yen strengthened while global risk markets absorbed the decision without widespread forced selling. Bitcoin traded near $105,000 and was approximately 1.8% higher later that day, according to Reuters market data.
Changes in US cryptocurrency policy also supported Bitcoin, so the BOJ decision worked alongside other influences. The comparison still holds: a Japanese rate rise on its own rarely produces a crypto sell-off. Our review of how Bitcoin reacted through the 2022-2023 Fed hiking cycle found the same pattern in the United States, where positioning ahead of each meeting shaped the response more than the policy outcome itself.
The result depends on how much of the move has already been priced, how strongly the yen responds and whether leveraged positions are forced to close.
What to Watch During the Meeting USD/JPY: A sharp decline would signal yen strength and pressure on short-yen positions. Japanese two-year yields: These reflect expectations for the BOJ’s near-term policy path. Bitcoin open interest: Elevated positioning would increase the risk of forced liquidations. Funding rates: Extreme readings would reveal crowded directional exposure. Global equities: A simultaneous decline would support a broader deleveraging explanation. A Bitcoin decline accompanied by falling open interest suggests positions are being closed or liquidated. Weakness with open interest still rising indicates traders adding new bearish exposure.
What Determines the Reaction July 2024 showed how a yen rally amplifies broader selling when leverage is high and other macroeconomic concerns are already present. January 2025 showed that a well-telegraphed hike passes without a Bitcoin decline.
This meeting arrives with the yen near multi-decade lows, a Fed decision two days earlier, fresh reporting that the bank may move faster than expected, a government pulling against the pace, and an intervention risk that needs no meeting at all. Whether July 31 registers as a routine policy update or a broader liquidity shock depends on the surprise, the yen’s response and the leverage built around the decision.

Z burzy Kraken odešlo téměř 3 080 BTC v hodnotě asi 198 milionů USD, což naznačuje nižší okamžitý prodejní tlak. Bitcoin se obchoduje kolem 64 368 USD a drží se nad supportem 63 824 USD.
After nearly 3,080 Bitcoin [BTC] left Kraken, attention has shifted back to whale accumulation. The two transfers included 1,265 BTC worth approximately $81.3 million and 1,815 BTC valued at about $116.6 million, bringing the combined value close to $198 million.
Rather than signaling imminent selling, the movements pointed toward coins leaving an exchange for unknown wallets. Such a pattern often reflects long-term holding instead of immediate distribution. However, the transfers arrived while Bitcoin traded within a well-defined recovery structure, making the timing especially notable.
Investors also viewed the withdrawals alongside broader on-chain indicators instead of treating them as isolated events. As a result, the latest whale activity reinforced the argument that large holders continued reducing readily available exchange supply despite recent market volatility.
Scarcity returns to Bitcoin’s favor Bitcoin’s Stock-to-Flow Ratio strengthened considerably and reached 46.5K as of writing, posting a remarkable 350.01% increase over the previous 24 hours. The sharp rise suggested that Bitcoin’s scarcity profile improved after weakening in earlier sessions.
Since the metric compares circulating supply against annual issuance, higher readings generally reflected tighter supply conditions. This shift aligned well with the latest exchange withdrawals because both indicators pointed toward fewer coins remaining available for immediate selling.
However, scarcity alone did not determine future price direction. Market participants still required sustained demand to capitalize on reduced supply. Even so, the improvement suggested that Bitcoin’s long-term supply dynamics remained supportive.
Investors therefore gained another fundamental signal that complemented the growing accumulation narrative driven by large holders.
Source: CryptoQuant Miner behavior eased another source of supply Bitcoin miners also reduced selling pressure during the latest trading session. At press time, the Miners’ Position Index (MPI) dropped to -1.2389 after declining 128.44% over the previous day.
Negative MPI readings historically indicated that miners sold fewer coins relative to their one-year average. That behavior reduced another potential source of market supply after whale withdrawals already removed substantial holdings from exchanges.
Instead of increasing distribution into strength, miners appeared to retain a larger share of newly mined Bitcoin. Such positioning usually reflect greater confidence in future valuations rather than urgency to secure profits. Nevertheless, miner activity represented only one part of Bitcoin’s broader supply picture.
However, reduced miner selling complemented improving scarcity metrics and strengthened the broader case that immediate selling pressure remained relatively contained.
Source: CryptoQuant Can Bitcoin’s channel support fuel another advance? Bitcoin traded near $64,368 after retreating toward the lower boundary of its ascending channel at the time of writing.
BTC’s price respected support around $63,824, keeping the broader recovery structure intact despite the recent pullback. Meanwhile, resistance remained established near $66,835, with another significant barrier positioned around $73,000.
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) eased to 50.85, while its moving average stood at 53.66. Those readings showed cooling buying strength rather than aggressive bearish control. The indicator stayed above the oversold region, suggesting sellers had not gained complete dominance.
If buyers defended the channel support, Bitcoin could revisit $66,835 before attempting another move toward $70,000 and eventually $73,000. However, losing $63,824 would likely expose the next major support around $60,000, shifting short-term sentiment back in favor of sellers.
Source: TradingView Conclusively, the latest Kraken withdrawals, stronger Stock-to-Flow Ratio, and subdued miner selling all strengthened Bitcoin’s supply outlook. Although price cooled near channel support, the broader structure remained constructive.
Moreover, current conditions suggest accumulation continues to outweigh distribution. Yet the next decisive move would likely depend on whether buyers maintain control above the $63,824 support level.
Final Summary Bitcoin whales removed nearly $198 million from Kraken, easing immediate exchange selling pressure. BTC still holds ascending channel support while scarcity and miner activity favor stronger supply conditions.
XRP Ledger prošel finálním hlasováním o aktualizaci: batched fix už splnil 80% práh a má jít do provozu během několika dnů. Další změny míří na batch transakce, soukromí a sponzorované poplatky.
XRP has already dipped as low as $1.01 during the ongoing bear market pullback, reviving talk that the token could briefly slip below a dollar before this cycle’s downturn runs its course.
A Familiar Pattern From the Last Cycle
One analyst pointed to XRP’s 2022 bear market as a reference point. XRP bottomed near $0.28 in June 2022, then retested that same support level roughly half a dozen times through January 2023, including a final touch at $0.32 before the market turned. The current setup, the analyst argues, looks similar, just at a higher price range this cycle.
Exchanges Keep Shutting Down
Bitmart just became the second crypto exchange to shut down in less than a week, following BitMEX’s earlier announcement. Bitmart’s native token, BMX, collapsed more than 60% after the shutdown news broke. A former major Bitcoin mining pool also filed for bankruptcy, reportedly holding just $1 million in assets against $500 million in liabilities.
Several digital asset treasury companies and at least one crypto hedge fund have also wound down operations in recent weeks. Analysts tracking the space describe this wave of collapses as a sign the market is clearing out excess leverage and weaker players, a pattern some say has historically preceded major bottoms in past cycles.
Institutions Are Pushing for Regulatory Clarity
Support for the CLARITY Act has grown among major financial institutions ahead of the Senate’s August 7 recess deadline. Both Charles Schwab and Fidelity have pushed the Senate to pass the CLARITY Act, joined by the Fraternal Order of Police and Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon, who has publicly called for the bill’s passage.
New Upgrades Coming to the XRP Ledger
Away from price action, the XRP Ledger has several technical upgrades moving through its amendment process. The XRP Ledger’s batched fix update has already passed its 80% vote requirement and is expected to go live within days. Additional upgrades under discussion include:
Batch transactions, allowing up to eight transactions to be bundled into a single atomic actionZero-knowledge proof privacy features, enabling confidential transfersSponsored fees and reserves, letting platforms cover the XRP wallet creation cost for new usersPermission delegation, allowing specific account permissions without full custody transferDynamic multi-purpose tokens, which can carry updatable fields after launchTwo additional features are drawing particular attention: a Single Asset Vault that would let users pool XRP, RLUSD, or other tokens together, and a companion lending protocol built on top of it, enabling fixed-term, uncollateralized loans intended for institutional use.
Why the XRP Ledger’s DEX Matters
With centralized exchanges continuing to shut down, some analysts are pointing to the XRP Ledger’s built-in decentralized exchange as a safeguard for token holders. Since the DEX operates independently of any single platform, users can continue trading and earning yield on XRP even if individual exchanges they relied on disappear.

XRP Ledger v3.2.0 čelí hlášeným chybám včetně zpomalení synchronizace a problémů s připojením. Zároveň se blíží aktivace fixCleanup3_2_0 na 29. července 2026 v 09:57 UTC.
The XRP Ledger community is progressing work on multiple bug reports related to xrpld v3.2.0 with the goal of implementing the fixCleanup3_2_0 amendment on July 29. The problems, posted on the XRPLF GitHub, span from performance regressions to problems with synchronization, despite node operators’ ongoing migration to the latest release.
A Look At Newly Reported Issues On XRP Ledger v3.2.0 After upgrading from xrpld 3.1.3 to 3.2.0, it is reported that xrpld 3.2.0 is slowly lagging behind the XRP Ledger mainnet consensus. The nodes which were once updating the validated ledgers on the same hardware “now gradually fall behind the validated ledger.”
However, going back to the 3.1.3 version fixes the problem, according to the issue on GitHub. The reporter called it “a performance regression in 3.2.0.”
Another report claims that xrpld 3.2.0 on Windows 10 never progresses beyond the “connected” server state. Despite maintaining around 30 stable peers, loading a valid UNL with 35 trusted validators, and receiving validations and proposals, the node reportedly never reaches syncing or tracking.
But rather than joining the current ledger of the network, it continues to close its own ledgers since the network’s genesis. The reporter reported that this machine was previously able to run rippled without any problem and the problem only occurred after migration to xrpld.
One validator-related problem is that Ripple-backed XRP Ledger v3.2.0 version does not successfully download ledger data from peers on a mainnet validator. Moreover, it cannot move past “server_state: connected” to “syncing,” “tracking,” or “full” stage.
The reporter made the observation that the process of acquiring the ledger on xrpld 3.2.0 was slowed down relative to xrpld 3.1.3-1. It took around 13 minutes to complete from an empty datastore to full, so it is suspected a regression occurred.
Developers are also looking at a validator public keys report on the new XRP Ledger version. The service showed the public key of the new validator, but server_info still showed the public key of the validator that was migrated previously, resulting in a mismatch between the two.
Validator Issues Warning As July 29 Deadline Inches Closer Meanwhile, XRPL validator Vet encouraged users to upgrade their XRP Ledger nodes to 3.2.0. He wrote on X, “Happy Hump Day to everyone, especially those who have upgraded their XRP Ledger nodes to 3.2.0!” He added, “In less than 1 Week all nodes running XRPL versions below 3.2.0 will experience service interruptions. Please update your nodes, remind exchanges and projects to update as well!”
According to XRP Ledger Explorer, 499 of 843 nodes (59.69%) are now running version 3.2.0. Whilst, 303 nodes (36.24%) remain on version 3.1.3. Adoption of validators has surged to 65.77% with 98 validators upgraded. The fixCleanup3_2_0 amendment currently has 30 of 35 trusted validators in support (85.71%), and is set to become active on 29 July 2026 at 09:57 UTC, as long as it stays above the 80% threshold.
Charles Hoskinson uvedl, že Cardano dokončilo v11 upgrade, první velký hard fork schválený plně on-chain hlasováním komunity. Novinka přidává Groth16 ZK proof-of-service verification infrastrukturu a chystaný Leios má zvýšit rychlost transakcí zhruba 60×.
Charles Hoskinson, founder of IOHK and Cardano, highlighted the recent bridge attacks and security vulnerabilities, stating that the cryptocurrency industry needs to mature. Arguing that focusing solely on speed is the wrong approach to addressing security issues, Hoskinson emphasized the necessity of zero-knowledge (ZK) technologies and decentralized insurance systems.
Referring to the recent hack on a third-party bridge used on the Binance-Cardano line, Hoskinson stated that traditional software security models are insufficient against AI-powered cyberattacks.
He stated that instead of relying on people or multi-signature (multisig) structures, there should be a shift to ZK systems (e.g., the Midnight project) that rely on mathematics. He argued that for the sector to reach traditional financial levels, optional insurance pools (RWA-based) that can compensate users for their losses should be established.
Hoskinson announced that the Cardano ecosystem has successfully completed its v11 upgrade, stating that this update is the first major hard fork to be implemented entirely through on-chain community voting. The new update adds the Groth16 ZK proof-of-service verification infrastructure to the system. The next major update, Leios, aims to increase Cardano’s transaction speed by approximately 60 times. Hoskinson also stated that Cardano has completed its legislative and judicial-like governance mechanisms, and that a decentralized “executive authority” will be created to manage marketing, commercial adoption, and growth strategies.
Hoskinson harshly criticized Ethereum’s governance and financing model, drawing attention to Cardano’s treasury system. He stated that Cardano’s development is sustained thanks to its on-chain treasury, arguing that Ethereum’s lack of decentralized governance has led to it falling under the control of large corporations and oligarchic structures.
Hoskinson stated that Layer-2 (L2) solutions in the Ethereum ecosystem are “parasitic” and harm the main chain, adding that Cardano, on the other hand, provides ADA holders with multiple token returns through a “partnered” L2 model.

The latest approach marks the third bid EQT has made for Perpetual this month, after the group first offered A$21.64 a share on July 1 and then raised its indicative proposal to A$22.07 a share in mid-July.
EQT has progressively sweetened its offer as it pursues the Australian wealth manager and trust business, with the latest proposal representing a roughly 4% increase from its initial approach.
Perpetual said the proposal was subject to various conditions, including the completion of the firm's sale of its wealth management unit to Bain Capital.

WEMIX uvedl, že útočník po kompromitaci kontraktu spojeného s WEMIX$ přesunul 724 198,27 USDC.e. Síť dočasně zastavila bridge, obchodování v likviditních poolech i další služby.
WEMIX says attacker moved about $724,000 after contract breach WEMIX suspended bridges, liquidity-pool trading and several services after an attacker compromised a WEMIX$-linked contract and moved 724,198 USDC.e.
Layer-1 blockchain network WEMIX said an attacker moved about 724,000 in USDC.e tokens after compromising ownership of a contract linked to its WEMIX$ stablecoin and issuing tokens without authorization.
The abnormal transactions occurred on Sunday at 9:17 UTC, according to a preliminary incident update from WEMIX. The attacker issued about 5.23 million WEMIX$, which was converted into 30,736 WEMIX and 724,198.27 USDC.e. The USDC.e was then bridged to Ethereum and BNB Smart Chain before being exchanged for assets including Ether and Tether’s USDT and distributed across multiple addresses.
WEMIX said some of the funds were deposited into centralized exchanges. The company identified the attacker’s wallets and requested asset freezes and assistance from exchanges and stablecoin issuers, adding that some exchanges had already frozen addresses linked to the incident.
The company temporarily suspended all bridges connected to its layer-1 network, WEMIX3.0, including Chainlink CCIP and the PLAY Bridge. It also suspended trading in affected liquidity pools, withdrew foundation-provided liquidity, and paused services including the WEMIX$ Module and PNIX decentralized exchange.
WEMIX said the cause and full impact remain under investigation and warned that the preliminary figures could change.
Cointelegraph contacted WEMIX for additional information but did not receive an immediate response.

Zcash se blíží upgradu Ironwood, který je naplánován na 28. července v bloku 3 428 143 a má posílit bezpečnost sítě a opravit kritickou kryptografickou chybu. Trh sleduje support $477 a rezistenci $680–$750.
Zcash (ZEC), a privacy-focused cryptocurrency, is preparing for a significant network milestone as it approaches the Ironwood upgrade, scheduled for July 28 at block height 3,428,143. The update, known as NU6.3, will retire the existing Orchard shielded pool and introduce a new pool featuring a corrected cryptographic circuit after a critical vulnerability was discovered. The upgrade aims to enhance network security and allow further investigation into whether the vulnerability was ever exploited.
Technical patterns highlight key support and resistance zonesMarket observers are closely monitoring ZEC’s price action ahead of the upgrade. Technical analyst Crypto With Gopal has pointed to a falling wedge formation developing on the one-hour chart, centered on the $477 support level. The analyst noted that recent price action shows sellers losing momentum as buyers defend the wedge’s lower trendline, leading to increased price compression.
The analyst suggested that a decisive breakout above the wedge’s upper boundary could indicate a return of bullish momentum—provided that the move is backed by rising trading volume. Such confirmation is considered necessary for signaling renewed demand among market participants.
Sellers are losing momentum while buyers continue defending the lower trendline. This could lead to a breakout if strong volume confirms the reversal.
On the other hand, a breakdown below the wedge’s lower trendline could invalidate the bullish scenario and expose ZEC to further declines. The falling wedge is widely followed by traders as a pattern indicating a potential reversal when confirmed by price movement and volume.
Mini dictionary: Falling wedge, a price chart pattern characterized by converging trendlines, where both the resistance and support lines slope downward. It is often viewed as a signal of a potential bullish reversal when price breaks above resistance and is supported by increased trading volume.
Another prominent analyst, @0xVertix, has identified a broader resistance area for ZEC between $680 and $750. According to this perspective, ZEC has maintained a bullish structure by establishing higher lows since recovering from previous macro lows.
Price continues to print higher lows, showing that buyers remain in control even as price approaches a major resistance band.
The $680-$750 zone has presented strong opposition to upward moves in the past and will be closely watched by traders. A sustained weekly candlestick close above this range would suggest meaningful technical progress, while converting the zone into lasting support could remove major resistance barriers for future gains.
Key ZEC LevelsPrice RangeImplicationSupport$477Short-term defense zone, falling wedge patternResistance$680-$750Major obstacle; a weekly close above could enable further upsidePotential target$1,300-$1,400Projected if trend continues and demand risesTechnical indicators and market sentiment remain neutralDespite the technical patterns outlined by analysts, several market metrics have yet to confirm a change in direction. Data compiled by TradingView for ZECUSDT currently shows an overall Neutral technical rating. Both oscillator and moving average categories are also marked as Neutral.
However, detailed readings for critical indicators such as the Relative Strength Index (RSI), Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD), Average Directional Index (ADX), and Stochastic RSI are currently unavailable in the dataset. This data gap limits the usefulness of the aggregate reading and makes it challenging to determine whether momentum is strengthening or weakening.
Additionally, the absence of populated pivot levels restricts the ability to confirm specific short-term support or resistance areas. As such, current price formations including the falling wedge and the $680-$750 resistance zone should be regarded as chart-based observations rather than confirmed trading signals.
A decisive shift in technical momentum will likely require an increase in price accompanied by stronger volume and improving readings across standard technical indicators.
Outlook ahead of the Ironwood upgradeWhile technical projections remain conditional, the immediate focus for traders is on the $477 support tied to the falling wedge and the critical $680-$750 resistance band. Market structure could shift significantly if ZEC delivers a breakout above key resistance areas, as sustained demand would improve the bullish case.
Conversely, repeated rejections at higher levels or a breakdown from current support would leave ZEC vulnerable to renewed selling pressure and diminish prospects for an extended rally.
With the Ironwood network upgrade approaching, both technical indicators and blockchain developments are expected to affect market sentiment. The upcoming changes aim to reinforce Zcash’s security and privacy features, increasing investor interest in the project as it seeks to solidify its standing among privacy coins.
Until crucial support or resistance levels are broken with conviction, the likelihood of ZEC achieving a sustained move toward $750 remains unconfirmed. Traders are likely to monitor coming sessions closely for signs of a breakout or further consolidation in the lead-up to the network upgrade.

HSBC zahájila pokrytí SpaceX s doporučením Hold a cílovou cenou 115 USD. Akcie v pátek klesly až o 6 % a uzavřely na 115,07 USD, tedy 7 centů nad cílem.
SpaceX (SPCX -2.85%) got a new review from a major bank on Friday, and it wasn't the vote of confidence shareholders were hoping for. HSBC initiated coverage of the rocket and satellite company with a Hold rating and a $115 price target. That number sits below the $135 price at which SpaceX went public in June.
The market wasted no time making its own statement. Shares fell as much as 6% on Friday, dipping below the new target shortly after its publication, before closing at $115.07 -- seven cents above it.
That makes SpaceX the rare stock that trades simultaneously below its IPO price, right at a major bank's days-old price target, and roughly 50% below the high of $225.64 it reached shortly after its debut.
What's most interesting about HSBC's math, though, is how generous it tried to be.
Image source: Getty Images.
A premium for Musk, and still a Hold HSBC built its valuation as a sum of the parts, adding up what it believes SpaceX's businesses are worth. Then it did something unusual. It applied a 2x premium to account for CEO Elon Musk's track record of commercializing disruptive technologies. In other words, the bank built a 2x innovation premium into its sum-of-the-parts math, on the theory that Musk has repeatedly built industries where none existed.
Even with that premium, the answer came back at $115, along with a conclusion that the price already reflects much of the company's long-term growth potential -- including continued expansion of Starlink, rising launch activity, and the development of its artificial intelligence initiatives. The bank did sketch a friendlier picture. Its most optimistic scenario, which assumes the Starship rocket becomes commercially viable starting in 2027 and launch capacity doubles, values the stock at $293 per share. But that's the ceiling case, not the expectation.
That's the detail I'd sit with. When a valuation grants the founder credit most models never grant, and still can't reach the IPO price, the exercise says as much about the price as it does about the company.

The disagreement is enormous To be fair, HSBC is one voice, and a notably cautious one next to the rest of Wall Street. The average price target on SpaceX sits at about $237, more than twice the recent share price. Even more telling, individual targets range from $62 all the way to $800. A range that wide is less a forecast than an admission that nobody has figured out how to value this company yet. And HSBC's Hold rating, for what it's worth, implies the stock roughly treads water from here. The bank's caution is about the price, not the business.
The fundamentals explain the confusion. SpaceX's trailing-12-month revenue totals about $19 billion, and its 2025 revenue grew 33% -- remarkable growth for an industrial company. But the stock's market capitalization stands at about $1.5 trillion, which values the company at more than 75 times its sales. The business remains unprofitable, too, as it pours money into developing its Starship rocket. There are no earnings to check the valuation against yet, and there won't be for some time.
Hard evidence is finally coming, though. SpaceX is expected to report its first quarterly results as a public company on Aug. 4, giving investors their first standardized look at the company's finances since the IPO. The first wave of insider share lockups begins expiring shortly after the report. For a debate currently running on beliefs, that report is the first common set of facts both sides will have to reckon with -- and every model on Wall Street, HSBC's included, gets rebuilt on real quarterly disclosure from that day forward.
So, is the newly cheaper stock worth buying now that it has fallen to even a skeptic's target? I don't think the target itself should drive anyone's decision. HSBC's $115 is one bank's estimate, and the consensus near $237 is an average of guesses that disagree with one another by hundreds of dollars.
My takeaway is simply that SpaceX's current valuation continues to require a lot of imagination to justify. A major bank went looking for reasons to be generous with SpaceX, applied the biggest one it could justify, and still concluded the stock was worth less than its IPO price.
I'm not buying before the company's Aug. 4 numbers are released. Sure, a business compounding revenue at 33% deserves respect. But at a $1.5 trillion valuation, I want to see more momentum in its financials before paying up for this stock.
Storj zahájil dobrovolnou, soudem dohlíženou finanční restrukturalizaci — zrychlenou reorganizaci. Síť běží normálně a firma chce držitelům tokenů nabídnout podíl na vlastním kapitálu reorganizované společnosti.
Today Storj Management and Board have commenced a voluntary, court-supervised financial restructuring — an accelerated reorganization. You deserve more than a press release, so here is the full picture, plainly.
Why we did this. The company carries liabilities that largely predate our current strategy. Inveniam has continued to support us, and the operating business has been right-sized — lean team, disciplined costs. But past obligations of this scale cannot be outgrown; they can only be resolved. This process resolves them in one place, under court supervision, with full transparency, and gives us the time to present a strong business plan for what comes next.
The network and the token today. The network continues to operate normally. The token’s utility in the network is unchanged by today’s announcement. We will not comment on price — not today, not during the process; we know trading has been quiet and low for a long time, and nothing in this letter is a prediction or an inducement to buy or sell anything.
The path we intend to propose. Our goal — stated openly — is that the restructured company be owned by the people who built it and the people who believed in it: management, this decentralized community, Token holders and other investors. Concretely, we intend to propose, as part of a plan of reorganization, a mechanism for Token holders to participate in the equity of the restructured company. The design (eligibility, mechanics, and terms) will be developed during the process and disclosed formally.
What we cannot promise. A plan must be approved through the court process, and the law sets priorities among stakeholders that we must respect. So we are promising you a seat at the table and a genuine intention — not an outcome. We would rather be straight with you now than walk anything back later.
How to engage — concretely:
Organization: we strongly encourage token holders who wish to organize as a group during the process are welcome to do so; we are keen to engage constructively with any representative group, and the email above is the starting point. Please reach out so that we can build Storj with our community.
Dedicated channel: [email protected] — staffed, read daily, with a commitment to respond within [2] business days.
Open AMA with Storj management team: TBD. Questions can be submitted in advance via the email above.
Formal process information: court documents, timelines, and official notices. If you believe you hold a claim, please email [email protected] — please rely on it over rumor.
Important: This letter is for information only. It is not an offer or solicitation of any security or token, not a promise of any recovery or distribution, and not financial advice. Any participation by token holders in the restructured company will occur only pursuant to a court-approved plan and definitive documentation, and applicable securities laws.
Microsoft oznámí výsledky za 4. fiskální čtvrtletí 2026 po uzavření trhu ve středu 29. července. Trh čeká, zda silnější růst Azure a adopce Copilotu potvrdí jeho AI strategii.
It’s been a tough year for Microsoft (MSFT +0.02%) shareholders. The stock, typically viewed as one of the safest plays in the entire stock market, has lost nearly a fifth of its value.
Concerns about elevated capital expenditures on artificial intelligence infrastructure and a software armageddon have extracted their pound of flesh.
Microsoft will have the opportunity to prove the naysayers wrong when it reports its 2026 fiscal fourth-quarter earnings after the market closes on Wednesday, July 29.
Following the results, CEO Satya Nadella and the rest of Microsoft’s senior management will host a live conference call with Wall Street analysts to discuss the results.
The earnings report could send the stock soaring. Here’s why.
Image source: Motley Fool.
The chance to prove the company’s AI strategy is workingMicrosoft’s stock has sold off for a few reasons.
The company has guided for $190 billion in capital expenditures in calendar year 2026, largely for AI infrastructure.
Investors are also concerned that the company’s AI digital assistant Copilot is not gaining traction and that Microsoft 365, its suite of office tools that powers the business world, could eventually be vulnerable to AI-made alternatives.
All the concerns are valid, of course. Copilot had about 20 million paid enterprise seats on Microsoft’s last earnings call, despite the company’s 450 million-plus Microsoft 365 subscribers.
Morgan Stanley analyst Adam Wood thinks Microsoft has a good opportunity on the upcoming earnings release to prove that its AI strategy is making progress.
Wood expects Azure, Microsoft’s cloud business benefitting from AI, to show accelerated growth over the next few quarters and for Copilot adoption to pick up steam as well.
Wood sees tremendous upside for Microsoft, particularly if Azure growth and Copilot adoption drive growth in Microsoft 365. Wood has a $795 price target as his bull case, which would imply more than a double from current levels.
Long-term investors can buy the stockI do think long-term investors can buy the stock. While Microsoft could soar following its upcoming earnings results, investors should still be careful about trading around a near-term earnings event.
Other large AI companies that have reported high capex guidance have experienced significant sell-offs, and this poses a potential risk for Microsoft. The company could guide for higher-than-expected capex next quarter or in the calendar year.

It’s also possible Microsoft sells off if Azure revenue disappoints, Copilot adoption fails to impress the market, or Microsoft 365 subscriber growth comes in weak.
That said, negative sentiment surrounding the stock could also send it soaring on a strong earnings print. Furthermore, I like the long-term setup for Microsoft, which trades around 23 times trailing earnings, well below its five-year average of roughly 32.5.
Now, it’s true that Copilot may never be the powerhouse that Claude or ChatGPT is in terms of total users. AI will also undoubtedly make software solutions easier to build, eroding the moat of software players that can’t adapt quickly enough.
That said, I do think there is a very good chance that Microsoft can position Copilot to support Microsoft 365 growth and maintain its dominance in the business world with its suite of office tools.
Furthermore, Azure revenue has been growing at an annual rate of around 40% in recent quarters, indicating that high AI investment is paying off on this front.
Microsoft is also very likely to survive any major sell-off or correction in AI. Trading at an undemanding multiple, I do see the stock as a good long-term bet.
American Airlines (AAL +6.79%) reported second-quarter results on Thursday and lowered its outlook for the year. Initially, investors were spooked, and the stock fell about 8% to close at $13.56.
Then on Friday they bought it back. Shares rose 6.8% to $14.48, recovering much of the drop in a single session.
Two days, two opposite verdicts on the same report. What gives?
A record quarter and a worse year The quarter itself was not bad at all.
Second-quarter revenue came in at $16.7 billion, up 16.3% year over year and the highest quarterly revenue in the company's history.
American posted net income of $71 million, or $0.11 per diluted share, on a generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) basis. On a non-GAAP (adjusted) basis, net income was $99 million, or $0.15 per share.
Image source: Getty Images.
Then came the outlook. Management now expects full-year adjusted earnings per share somewhere between a loss of $0.65 and a profit of $0.65. The prior range ran from a loss of $0.40 to a profit of $1.10.
The midpoint of that new range is zero -- and that's for a company generating record revenue.
The cause is not complicated, and management named it. Aircraft fuel expense rose by more than $2.2 billion in the second quarter, an 83.3% increase year over year, lifting the average price American paid to $4.05 per gallon.
For context, $2.2 billion is more than 13% of the quarter's entire revenue, added to the cost side in twelve months. Almost any airline's profit would disappear under a move like that, and arguably American's thin margin makes it the most exposed of the big three.
What Friday's buyers were looking at So why buy the stock a day later? I think there are several reasons.
First, American guided for third-quarter revenue growth of 16% to 19% year over year -- an acceleration from the 16.3% it just posted. Demand isn't softening. And the company said it offset nearly 50% of the fuel headwind in the second quarter through higher fares, which is a meaningful thing for a business often accused of having no pricing power.
The second is the fuel price itself. Management's third-quarter outlook assumes an average of $3.75 per gallon, down from the $4.05 it paid in the second quarter. That still implies about $1.7 billion of additional fuel cost versus the third quarter of 2025, so the pressure hasn't gone away. But the direction has changed at the margin.
Put those together, and the bull case is straightforward. The revenue engine is running faster than it has in years, and what broke the profit forecast is a commodity price rather than anything American is doing in its own operation -- and commodity prices move in both directions.
Of course, the bear case sits in the same guidance. Third-quarter adjusted earnings are forecast between a loss of $0.70 and a loss of $0.10 per share. That is a loss at every point in the range, during what is normally the industry's strongest stretch of the year. And a third-quarter loss would mean American needs a strong fourth quarter just to reach the middle of its own full-year guidance range.
So would I buy it here? No -- and the reason has less to do with this quarter than with what American is as an investment.
Airline earnings are often a small difference between two enormous numbers, and one of those numbers is a commodity the company cannot control. American's second quarter shows it. Revenue hit an all-time high, and the year's profit forecast straddles zero anyway.

On the surface, the stock looks cheap. Shares trade at $14.48, about 23% below the 52-week high of $18.79 -- at roughly nine times the earnings analysts expect over the coming year. Most screens would call that a value stock.
But a forward price-to-earnings ratio is only as good as its denominator, and this one divides by a figure management itself says could land anywhere between a loss and a profit. A multiple built on a range that wide isn't a margin of safety.
I understand Friday's buyers, though. If jet fuel pricing eases further while revenue holds a mid-teens growth rate, the earnings math flips quickly, and it flips hardest for the carrier with the thinnest margin. But that's largely a bet on an unpredictable commodity, and I'd rather make bets I can actually analyze. Additionally, investors who want exposure to the travel recovery can get it elsewhere -- from businesses whose largest cost isn't set in a commodity market.
AT&T ve 2. čtvrtletí zvýšila tržby o 2,3 % na 31,6 miliardy USD a upravený zisk na akcii o zhruba 20 % na 0,65 USD. Zároveň navýšila plán zpětného odkupu akcií na asi 10 miliard USD.
The market has spent years treating AT&T (T +4.77%) as a bond that happens to trade on an exchange. Slow growth, a big dividend, and not much to think about in between.
The company's second-quarter report, delivered on Wednesday, July 22, mostly confirms that description on the revenue line. Second-quarter revenue rose 2.3% year over year to $31.6 billion. But nobody is buying this stock for the top line anyway.
What the quarter did change is the size of the indirect "payments" shareholders get via share repurchases. Management lifted its 2026 buyback plan to about $10 billion from $8 billion, and the stock closed Friday at $24.13 after a 5.1% gain in the session -- still about 19% below its 52-week high of $29.79, and yielding 4.6%.
So does the cash actually cover everything management has now promised?
Image source: AT&T.
A slow top line and a fast bottom line Notably, underneath that 2.3% revenue figure, the profit lines are moving considerably faster.
Non-GAAP (adjusted) earnings per share came in at $0.65, up from $0.54 a year earlier -- growth of about 20% year over year. Diluted earnings per share from continuing operations rose to $0.66 from $0.62. And adjusted EBITDA margin expanded 110 basis points to 39.1%.
Free cash flow, the figure that actually pays the dividend, was $4.7 billion in the second quarter, up from $4.4 billion in the year-ago period.
And the operating detail behind it is better than the revenue growth rate suggests. AT&T added 432,000 postpaid phone subscribers and 646,000 internet customers, split between 367,000 fiber and 279,000 fixed wireless. Fiber now passes 38.6 million locations, up by a million in three months.
That mix matters. Fiber and postpaid phone customers are the higher-margin, longer-tenured end of this business, and the margin expansion is what a shift toward them looks like in the numbers.
Where the free cash flow goes Here is the arithmetic that decides the investment case.
AT&T pays $1.11 per share annually across about 6.9 billion shares, which comes to about $7.6 billion of dividends. Add the roughly $10 billion of repurchases management now plans, and the company intends to hand shareholders somewhere near $18 billion this year.
Its guidance for 2026 free cash flow is at least $18 billion.
In other words, the dividend and the buyback together consume essentially all of it. That isn't a hidden problem. It's the plan, and management said as much. But it does define what an investor is buying: a payout covered with almost no cushion this year -- unless, of course, you consider the company's capital allocated for repurchases a cushion for the dividend. And this would be a fair way to think about it.
But the company's multi-year outlook suggests there could be greater breathing room for the dividend in the future. Management guided for free cash flow above $19 billion in 2027 and above $21 billion in 2028, against a commitment to return more than $45 billion to shareholders across the three years. Stack those up and the company expects to generate about $58 billion while returning $45 billion, which leaves some runway for paying down debt.
Of course, debt is the part income investors should look at hardest. Net debt stood at $126.4 billion at quarter's end, or 2.68 times adjusted EBITDA. Management expects that ratio to climb to about 3.2 times once its transaction with EchoStar closes, then work back toward 2.5 times over about three years.
So leverage is going up before it comes down, at a company already returning all of its free cash flow.

That is the trade-off, and I think it's a fair one at this price. The stock trades at about eight times earnings, though the sharper comparison uses the $2.25 to $2.35 in adjusted earnings per share management guided to for 2026, which puts shares closer to 10 times. Even at the 52-week high of $29.79, that guidance would imply under 13 times.
A 4.6% yield covered by contracted, recurring revenue, from a company that grew adjusted earnings about 20% year over year last quarter while buying back its own stock, is a reasonable thing to own. CEO John Stankey said the accelerated repurchase reflects a gap between the company's operating fundamentals and how the market values the shares, and the numbers back that up more than they don't.
I wouldn't call it a bargain, though. AT&T grows revenue 2% a year -- a concerning rate, and one that is just a few percentage points from flipping to a decline.
Still, for income investors, this quarter made the case stronger. The dividend is covered, the fiber business is finally producing the margin expansion it promised, and the stock sits nearly a fifth below its 52-week high. I'd own it for the yield, keep the position modest, and treat the buyback as a bonus rather than the reason.
Jamie Dimon varoval, že trhy podceňují rizika „jako tektonické desky“, i když JPMorgan vykázal silné čtvrtletí. Zmínil geopolitické napětí, inflaci, vysoké fiskální deficity a drahá aktiva.
Sometimes events unfold slowly on Wall Street. Other times, events move so quickly that it is like a sudden earthquake, as two tectonic plates lurch past one another. That's the analogy that JPMorgan Chase (JPM +0.95%) CEO Jamie Dimon used to describe the current market and economic environment. How should investors juxtapose that against the giant bank's impressive second-quarter earnings?
JPMorgan Chase had a good quarter In the second quarter of 2026, JPMorgan Chase posted earnings of $7.70 per share. That was up from $5.94 in the first quarter and $5.24 a year earlier. To put percentage numbers on that, earnings rose 30% from the first quarter of 2026 and a huge 47% from the second quarter of 2025. From that top-level view, JPMorgan is doing shockingly well right now.

But there are some caveats. For example, the quarter included a one-time benefit of $1.27 per share related to the conversion of Visa (V +1.03%) securities the company owns. The transaction is a bit complex, but the key is that this benefit had nothing to do with JPMorgan Chase's actual business results. Pulling the Visa impact out, earnings would have been $6.43 per share. Still good, but not nearly as good. That's the first grain of salt; the second is CEO Jamie Dimon warning about the future.

The key is the lofty market The really important aspect of Jamie Dimon's fear is the fact that the market is trading near record highs. In and of itself, however, that's not a problem. However, given the other risks he sees, it sets the stage for a downdraft:
Several risks are shifting below the surface like tectonic plates, including geopolitical tensions and wars, sticky inflation, large global fiscal deficits and elevated asset prices. We cannot predict how these forces will ultimately play out. They may remain manageable, but they could also cause meaningful disruptions when they shift or collide.
Despite the CEO's carefully articulated concerns, consumers appear to be holding up, and investors are enthusiastic about the future, which set the stage for JPMorgan's strong quarter. If nothing changes, the giant bank could continue to post strong results across its various businesses. However, that could also be blinding investors to the very real risks that are taking shape. If the tectonic plates collide, JPMorgan's results could suffer as its customers deal with a recession, a bear market, or worse.
Dimon is telling investors to be ready Jamie Dimon isn't telling investors to run for the hills. After all, the bank, one of the world's largest financial institutions, is doing well right now and will continue to do well so long as current conditions prevail. What the CEO is saying is that investors should temper their enthusiasm with a bit of reality, given the world's current uncertainty. That's good advice, for those willing to listen.
Texas Instruments těží z poptávky po AI: tržby ve 2. čtvrtletí meziročně vzrostly o 23 % a zisk o 53 %. Firma navíc ve 3. čtvrtletí očekává tržby 5,65 až 6,15 miliardy USD.
Texas Instruments (TXN -1.90%) is relatively late to the artificial intelligence (AI) party. The stock was mostly flat over the past five years until a 58% year-to-date rally surprised investors. Its analog chips manage the electrical power that AI chips need.
These analog chips essentially serve as the middleman between electric grids and AI chips. Analog chips process electricity and distribute it to AI chips in a way that lets them function without overheating. They position Texas Instruments for a multiyear run as AI infrastructure demand accelerates.

Revenue growth is picking up Fundamental growth is a key factor for stocks that beat the S&P 500 over the long run, and Texas Instruments has been checking off that box. Its 23% year-over-year growth rate in the second quarter was its highest in multiple years.
The recent growth isn't a fluke. Texas Instruments anticipates $5.65 billion to $6.15 billion in Q3 revenue. A midpoint of $5.9 billion implies a 24.5% year-over-year growth rate. Sequential growth has been solid, but that is a normal trend for Texas Instruments. If the company delivers positive sequential growth in Q4, that's a major catalyst, since that's the slower season for Texas Instruments.
Texas Instruments barely beat the top end of its Q2 guidance when delivering results. If its analog chips continue to gain momentum in data centers, it might end up beating the top end of Q3 guidance. That would position the company for at least 38% year-over-year revenue growth.
Texas Instruments is achieving this growth while boosting its net income. Profits were up by 53% year over year in the second quarter.

Prudent financial management Texas Instruments isn't a flashy name, and the executives never intended for it to reach that point. The company's website starts with a boring quote from CEO Haviv Ilan, but it's boring in a good way.
"We believe that long-term growth of free cash flow per share is the ultimate measure to generate value. We achieve this by strengthening our competitive advantages, being disciplined with capital allocation and pursuing efficiency," Ilan wrote on the investor relations site.
The emphasis on cash flow explains why Texas Instruments' net income is rising faster than revenue. It also offers some insight into why it's one of the few fast-growing AI stocks that still has a dividend yield above 2%.
To top it all off, Texas Instruments actually pulled back on capital expenditures (capex) while other companies are rushing to throw their money at AI. The company heavily invested in manufacturing capabilities for multiple years. Now, it's scaling down capex while enjoying the fruits of its labor.
The second quarter featured $514 million in capex, which is a 60.6% year-over-year reduction. At a time when tech giants can deliver good results that get overlooked due to rising capex, Texas Instruments is delivering high growth rates while cutting back on spending. It's a rarity in the current market that can justify an extended rally.

July 26 (Reuters) - Brown-Forman (BFb.N), opens new tab said on Sunday its board had received an unsolicited proposal from Sazerac, but concluded the offer was "not actionable."
The Jack Daniel's maker did not disclose the value of the proposal from the U.S. spirits company Sazerac.

Wolf Pen Branch, LP, which represents a majority of Brown-Forman's Class A shares, said it remains confident in the company's brands, adding Sazerac's proposal does not align with its vision for Brown-Forman's future.
Sazerac did not immediately respond to a request for comment outside regular business hours.
Reuters reported in May that Brown-Forman had rejected a $32-per-share cash takeover offer from Sazerac that valued the company at about $15 billion.
Sazerac emerged as a suitor after Brown-Forman and Pernod Ricard (PERP.PA), opens new tab ended merger discussions in late April, having failed to agree on mutually acceptable terms.
Privately owned Sazerac, controlled by the Goldring family, owns more than 500 brands, including Buffalo Trace bourbon and Fireball cinnamon whisky.

Paramount Skydance se dohodla, že transakci neuzavře dříve než pět dní po rozhodnutí ve věci, nejpozději do 1. června 2027. Po 30. září navíc začíná nabíhat dodatečný poplatek ve výši přibližně 7 milionů USD denně.

Washington cleared the deal. A California court paused it. Brussels attached conditions. Britain may rewrite its media law to review it.
Both parties to the largest media transaction of the decade are now waiting. Only one of them will pay for it.
The Paramount Warner Deal Delay Has A Price Paramount Skydance Corporation has agreed not to close its acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery until five days after a ruling on the merits, or June 1, 2027, whichever comes first. That followed a temporary restraining order secured four days earlier by twelve state attorneys general.
The delay is not simply procedural. It is priced.
Under the merger agreement, Warner shareholders receive $31 a share in cash. If the deal has not closed after September 30, additional consideration begins accruing daily at a rate equivalent to 25 cents a share every 90 days, payable when the transaction eventually completes.
Across WBD’s outstanding shares that is roughly $650 million a quarter, or about $7 million a day. A wait until next June would add something close to $1.7 billion to the purchase price.
Behind that sits a larger number. If the transaction fails under specified regulatory circumstances, Paramount could owe WBD a $7 billion regulatory termination fee.
Larry Ellison and his revocable trust have jointly and severally guaranteed that fee, along with $45.72 billion of the merger consideration and the $2.8 billion Paramount already paid Netflix on Warner’s behalf when Warner took the higher offer. Warner, for its part, would owe Paramount $3 billion if it were the one to walk away.
MORE FOR YOU
The timing was not lost on the court. In granting the restraining order it recorded that the companies had conceded they would incur no carrying costs from a delayed merger until the end of September, and found they would suffer no apparent near-term harm from waiting.
Who Pays For The Delay: Warner or Paramount?That structure explains a great deal about how the two companies have behaved since the lawsuit.
Paramount has forcefully argued that the states’ challenge is disconnected from the modern media market and that delay serves large technology platforms rather than consumers.
Warner has been comparatively quiet. It does not need to speak. Its position is written into the contract, which converts every additional month of regulatory argument into a higher price for its shareholders and a guaranteed payment if the whole thing collapses.
One company is buying time. The other is selling it.
Four Regulators, Four Different MarketsThe difficulty is that the clock runs against a process no party controls. Four authorities are reviewing this transaction, but they are not measuring the same source of media power.
On June 12, the Justice Department closed an eight-month investigation that had drawn more than two million documents from over 80 custodians.
It found the deal "not likely to result in harm to competition or American consumers" in three named markets: streaming video on demand, linear television and the development, production and distribution of films for theatrical release.
On July 20, a federal court in California reached the opposite preliminary conclusion about the third of those markets. Its finding rested on Paramount’s anticipated 27% share of wide-release theatrical distribution and the concentration the merger would produce, which the court held sufficient to presume a likely violation.
Brussels was looking at something narrower again. Its conditional clearance on July 22 is not addressed to streaming scale or theatrical share. It requires Paramount to exit United International Pictures, the European film distribution venture it shares with Universal.
Britain’s Media Law Has Not Caught UpBritain is doing the hardest thing of the four, because the category it wants to examine is not yet in its statute.
On June 30, Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy told Parliament she was minded to intervene under the Enterprise Act 2002 on two public interest grounds. One is conventional, covering plurality of views in news media, which here means CNN International and Channel 5 arriving under a single owner.
The other concerns the number of owners controlling on-demand programming services, and that consideration is not currently specified in section 58 of the Act. The legislation, as Nandy put it, "does not cover the effect of a merger on streaming or video-on-demand services." She said she would introduce secondary legislation to change it.
That places a British parliamentary calendar inside an American merger timetable.
The Commons adjourned for the summer on July 16 without a decision on formal intervention. It returns on September 1 and rises again for the conference recess in the middle of that month.
Paramount’s ticking consideration begins accruing after September 30. The body that would need to approve Britain’s new legal test is therefore largely unavailable until around the point the meter starts.
The Deal’s Regulatory Clock Is TickingFebruary 27, 2026: Paramount and Warner Bros. Discovery sign a $31-per-share cash agreement valuing WBD at about $110 billion including debt.
June 12: The Justice Department closes its investigation without challenging the transaction.
June 30: Britain’s culture secretary signals possible intervention on news plurality and on-demand services.
July 13: California and eleven other states sue to block the acquisition.
July 16: The House of Commons begins its summer recess without a formal intervention decision.
July 20: A federal court temporarily restrains the transaction over concerns about theatrical distribution.
July 22: The European Commission clears the deal on condition that Paramount exits its European distribution venture with Universal.
July 24: Paramount agrees not to close until five days after a ruling on the merits, or June 1, 2027, whichever comes first.
September 1: The House of Commons returns, shortly before another recess interrupts the British review timetable.
After September 30: Additional consideration begins accruing at roughly $7 million a day until the transaction closes.
June 1, 2027: The agreed standstill reaches its outer limit unless the litigation is resolved earlier.
One Narrow Market Can End A Global DealThe precedent for what a single jurisdiction can do is three weeks old. The proposed merger of Getty Images and Shutterstock cleared U.S. review.
The Competition and Markets Authority found no problem in stock imagery, reasoning that generative AI had already made that market fiercely contested, but did find one in editorial content supplied to British media outlets, and cleared the $3.7 billion deal only on condition that Shutterstock sold that business.
Getty’s board declined. The merger was terminated on July 7. The CMA’s inquiry chair called the outcome "ultimately a commercial choice."
One narrow market in one country ended a global transaction.
The Ellisons can guarantee the money. Paramount can promise films, investment and jobs. Warner can make the wait expensive for Paramount. What none of them can do is make four legal systems agree on what kind of company is being bought.
Baker Hughes ve 2. čtvrtletí zvýšil objednávky na 10,5 miliardy USD a upravený zisk před úroky, daněmi a odpisy (EBITDA) na 1,231 miliardy USD, přičemž IET dosáhl rekordního RPO 37,1 miliardy USD.

HOUSTON and LONDON, July 26, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Baker Hughes Company (Nasdaq: BKR) ("Baker Hughes" or the "Company") announced results today for the second quarter of 2026.
"Baker Hughes delivered another strong quarter, reflecting the breadth of our portfolio and continued momentum across data center, gas infrastructure, and upstream markets. Disciplined execution and our ability to effectively navigate ongoing Middle East challenges contributed to Adjusted EBITDA exceeding the high end of our guidance range. Looking ahead, favorable underlying fundamentals support our confidence in achieving the midpoint of our full-year guidance as we continue to manage through the Middle East uncertainty."
"IET delivered another exceptional quarter of orders, with record bookings doubling year-over-year to $7.1 billion and backlog increasing 19% to a new all-time high. The strength was driven by robust demand across Power Systems and LNG, with particularly strong momentum in power generation. Given broadening customer demand, a growing pipeline across industrial and energy infrastructure markets, and our decision to further expand capacity, we are raising our full-year IET order guidance and increasing our Horizon 2(1) IET orders outlook to more than $45 billion."
"OFSE delivered an impressive quarter, with EBITDA exceeding the high end of our guidance range despite a complex operating environment. Increased activity and higher product shipments late in the quarter in the Middle East, along with solid performance in North America land and Latin America, drove the upside and demonstrated the resilience and durability of our portfolio despite higher inflationary costs."
"Our second-quarter performance further reinforces confidence in Baker Hughes’ strategic direction. Energy security and rising power demand are driving investment across both energy and industrial value chains, and our expanding portfolio is increasingly aligned with the most attractive growth opportunities across our core end markets."
"The successful closing of the Chart acquisition marks a major milestone in our evolution as a leading industrialized energy solutions company. Chart enhances our capabilities in thermal management, air and gas handling, compression and lifecycle services, while expanding our reach across attractive core and adjacent markets. The addition of Chart further advances our portfolio, broadens our growth opportunities, and enhances our ability to create long-term value for customers and shareholders. We are pleased to welcome Chart’s employees to Baker Hughes and look forward to their contributions as part of our team," concluded Simonelli.

Reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP Financial Measures
Management provides non-GAAP financial measures because it believes such measures are widely accepted financial indicators used by investors and analysts to analyze and compare companies on the basis of operating performance (including adjusted EBITDA; adjusted net income attributable to Baker Hughes; and adjusted diluted earnings per share) and liquidity (free cash flow) and that these measures may be used by investors to make informed investment decisions. Management believes that the exclusion of certain identified items from several key operating performance measures enables us to evaluate our operations more effectively, to identify underlying trends in the business, and to establish operational goals for certain management compensation purposes.

WEMIX is back in uncomfortable territory. The South Korean blockchain gaming platform is investigating a potential security breach involving the ownership of its WEMIX$ stablecoin contract, raising fresh questions about the security posture of an ecosystem that was already working to rebuild trust after a damaging incident earlier this year.
The investigation was disclosed on July 26, 2026. No confirmed details about the scope or impact of the breach have emerged yet.
What is WEMIX$ and why does it matter WEMIX$ is a stablecoin that runs on the WEMIX3.0 mainnet, fully collateralized by USDC. It keeps transactions stable and predictable for players and protocol users who don’t want exposure to the volatility of WEMIX itself.

Wemade had already announced plans to transition away from WEMIX$ on WEMIX PLAY toward USDC.e, suggesting the stablecoin was already on a sunset track.
A platform still recovering from its last breach In February 2025, attackers drained approximately 8.65 million WEMIX tokens from the Play Bridge Vault, a haul worth roughly $6.1 to $6.2 million at the time. The breach was traced back to compromised authentication keys connected to the NILE NFT monitoring system.
WEMIX CEO Kim Seok-hwan had to publicly address allegations that the company attempted to downplay or cover up the incident.
The February 2025 hack was attributed to compromised authentication keys, not a smart contract vulnerability. If the current WEMIX$ incident turns out to involve contract ownership, that represents a different attack surface entirely.
Recent momentum, suddenly complicated On July 1, WEMIX completed its second halving event. On July 8, WEMIX was listed for spot trading on Kraken. Around the same time, the platform announced integration of Chainlink’s Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol, or CCIP, designed to improve token transfers across different blockchains.

Just a few weeks ago, CoreWeave (CRWV -11.58%) looked unstoppable.
The neocloud provider had become one of Wall Street's hottest stocks, riding the wave of excitement generated by artificial intelligence. Investors were captivated by its explosive revenue growth, massive backlog of customer contracts, and strategic partnerships with some of the biggest names in AI.
Then, almost as quickly as it climbed, the stock tumbled. As of mid-afternoon Friday, CoreWeave had lost 30% of its market capitalization in just one month, leaving many investors wondering whether something has gone seriously wrong.
The answer is both yes and no.
Image source: Getty Images.
Investors are starting to ask tougher questions For much of the past year, investors focused on one question: Can CoreWeave grow fast enough?
The answer appeared to be yes. The company signed enormous contracts with clients, expanded aggressively, and established itself as one of the leading independent providers of AI cloud computing infrastructure. In the first quarter of 2026, revenue more than doubled year over year to $2.1 billion, while revenue backlog almost tripled to about $100 billion.
Yet despite the impressive performance, Wall Street is asking a very different question today: Can CoreWeave become a highly profitable business despite spending tens of billions of dollars on its infrastructure?
That distinction may sound subtle, but it changes everything. Growing quickly is impressive. Growing profitably in one of the most capital-intensive industries on Earth is much harder. Under generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), CoreWeave remained loss-making in Q1 despite its massive contract wins. The only silver lining in the quarterly report it delivered on May 7 was that its adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) and adjusted operating income came in positive.
In short, investors are focused on whether CoreWeave will report GAAP profits in the near future.

Meta may have changed the competitive landscape One of the biggest catalysts behind the stock's recent sell-off was a report that Meta Platforms is exploring leasing out some of its artificial intelligence computing infrastructure to external customers.
At first glance, that might not sound like bad news. After all, demand for AI computing capacity continues to surge.
But investors immediately see a much bigger implication over the long run. Meta isn't just one of the world's largest AI companies. It could also become one of the world's largest suppliers of AI computing capacity.
That shines a spotlight on an uncomfortable scenario. The largest customers of neoclouds like CoreWeave today could become its biggest competitors tomorrow. Whether Meta ultimately succeeds isn't the point.
In short, the market now views it as more probable that the AI infrastructure space will become more competitive over time, which would reduce the pricing power of independent compute providers like CoreWeave.
Expectations were probably too high to start with Sometimes, a stock falls not because the business deteriorates, but because the expectations baked into its price become impossible for the company to satisfy. That appears to be part of CoreWeave's recent share price decline.
To put it into perspective, the stock now trades at a price-to-sales (P/S) ratio of 5.9 -- and that's after the stock price collapsed from its 52-week high of $153 to around $74 as of mid-afternoon Friday. Amazon, despite owning the largest cloud computing business globally, trades at a P/S ratio of 3.4.
In other words, investors weren't just valuing CoreWeave like a fast-growing cloud provider. They were valuing it as one of the defining winners of the AI revolution.
When expectations reach those levels, almost any uncertainty -- such as a potential new competitor or concerns over long-term profitability -- can trigger a sharp correction.
None of these developments, individually, fundamentally changes CoreWeave's business. Together, however, they have created enough uncertainty to drive investors to reassess how much they're willing to pay for the stock.
What does it mean for investors? When a stock falls by more than 50% from its 52-week high, it naturally raises concerns among shareholders.
But let's put things into perspective. If you expected CoreWeave's stock to rise continuously in a straight line, that's likely unrealistic. Long-term investors should focus on a different question: Has the long-term investment thesis changed?
So far, the answer appears to be no. AI infrastructure demand continues to grow. CoreWeave remains deeply integrated with leading AI developers, and the company still has a substantial runway for expansion if management executes well.
What has changed is the need for a margin for error. Investors are no longer rewarding growth at any cost. What they want now is proof that CoreWeave can transform extraordinary demand for its services into a durable, profitable business.
The company's ability to provide that proof may ultimately determine where the stock goes over the next few years.
Apple odložil plán uvedení svých prvních chytrých brýlí na červen 2027 a jejich prodej až na konec roku. Firma chce zdůraznit soukromí, včetně zpracování přímo v zařízení a bez rozpoznávání obličeje.
As Apple prepares to launch its first smart glasses, the company is also wrestling with how to address consumer privacy concerns, according to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman.
Gurman reports that Apple has pushed back the launch target from early 2027, with the glasses now set for unveiling at the Worldwide Developers Conference in June 2027 and actually becoming available by the end of the year. That delay allows Apple to work on the product itself, and on the messaging around privacy.
It sounds like the company has noticed the concerns around Meta’s smart glasses — sometimes decried as “pervert glasses” — being used to make non-consensual video recordings. That could be a bigger issue for Apple, which constantly emphasizes privacy in its marketing.
Among other things, Apple will reportedly try to emphasize privacy-friendly features like on-device processing, as well as the absence of facial recognition. The company will likely steer clear of using customer recordings to train AI models, and it’s unlikely to follow Meta’s reported practice of using contractors to review customer footage.
Tesla (TSLA -2.14%) plunged by 14% after releasing its second-quarter earnings, but that dip may just be the beginning. The company has physical artificial intelligence (AI) products in the pipeline, with Optimus robots being a future catalyst, but Tesla still relies heavily on automobile sales and has the profit margins of an automaker.

Rising capital expenditures without rising profits Elon Musk told investors to expect a "massive capex year" in 2026, while Tesla CFO Vaibhav Taneja anticipates capital expenditures (capex) growing for "the next two or three years."
It's the cost of doing business as tech companies scramble to throw capital at AI opportunities, but Tesla hasn't boosted profits for all of that spend. Alphabet (GOOG +0.21%) (GOOGL +0.58%) reported higher operating income, even with higher AI expenditures, and that has been a common pattern among the largest tech companies.
Tesla's operating income dropped by 57% year over year, and the company had only a 1.4% operating margin. Electric vehicles still make up a large portion of total revenue, more than 70%. Automobiles are a low-margin business, and Tesla's rising capital expenditures guarantee that its margins will be under more pressure for multiple years.

Assessing the valuation Tesla trades at almost a 300 price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio, even after the recent dip. If you treat it like a pure-play automobile stock, that valuation needs to drop a lot before Tesla reaches fair value.
Bulls have rightly argued that it's not just an automobile stock. The high capital expenditures are going toward Robotaxis and Optimus robots. These are moonshot opportunities that can help justify the current valuation, but for now, they have zero impact on Tesla's business.
A quote from Elon Musk perfectly sums up the opportunities and risks associated with Tesla stock: "I'm confident that all the things that we're investing in will yield incredible returns," Musk said during the call.
Investors are holding on to shares because they believe robotaxis and robots will fuel the next megacycle. However, there are several questions that the current valuation does not account for.
How long will it take for these opportunities to become commercialized? Will Tesla get a large market share with these innovations or gradually lose ground, as has been the case for its electric vehicles? Will demand be strong enough to justify Tesla's current market cap?
These questions show plenty of uncertainty and business execution risk. Elon Musk previously predicted its Robotaxis would be available to half the U.S. population by the end of 2025, which did not materialize. These initiatives may eventually pan out. However, "eventually" isn't a justification for a nearly 300 P/E ratio when most of the money coming in is from electric vehicles and margins are tightening.
Tesla stock needs a deeper dip before it will justify purchasing shares.
United Airlines loni oslovila Delta Air Lines kvůli možné fúzi, ale jednání nepokročila. Spojení dvou největších amerických dopravců by čelilo silné antimonopolní kontrole.
United Airlines reportedly approached Delta Air Lines last year about a potential merger that would have combined two of the largest U.S. carriers.
United CEO Scott Kirby contacted Delta CEO Ed Bastian to pitch the potential tie-up, The Wall Street Journal reported Sunday, citing people familiar with the matter.
According to the outlet, leadership at Delta discussed the proposal and evaluated the potential benefits as part of "preliminary due diligence," but the talks did not advance, and both airlines ultimately moved on.

A United spokesperson told FOX Business the airline had "nothing to share." Delta declined to comment.
A merger between United and Delta would have had sweeping implications for the airline industry and likely faced scrutiny from federal antitrust regulators and state attorneys general, according to The Wall Street Journal.

Teva letos pokračuje v oživení a za 12 měsíců vzrostla zhruba o 85 % díky posunu od generik ke značkovým lékům. Další růst může přinést duvakitug, který je ve fázi 3 klinických studií.
Year to date, Teva Pharmaceutical Industries (TEVA -1.25%) shares have continued to recover. Thanks to the company's shifting focus from generic to branded drugs, this pharmaceutical stock has surged by around 85% over the past 12 months.
Although Teva may be pulling back lately, don't assume the turnaround rally is over. In addition to success with its initial round of commercially successful branded pharmaceuticals, the company has one key candidate in the pipeline that could be on the verge of becoming a blockbuster drug.
Image source: Getty Images.
Teva's branded drug transformation As seen in Teva's first-quarter 2026 financials, generic drugs now barely make up a majority of the company's overall sales. Meanwhile, branded drugs, particularly recent hits like Austedo, Ajovy, and Uzedy, are experiencing mid-double-digit annual sales growth.
Management expects a drop in earnings per share (EPS), from $2.65 in 2025 to between $1.91 and $2.11 in 2026. However, much of this stems from the initial dilutive effect of Teva's recent acquisition of Emalex Biosciences. Starting next year, the anticipated launch of biosimilars, along with other factors, should contribute to a 30% increase in operating profit and adjusted EBITDA.. Furthermore, another emerging catalyst for Teva could drive the next big leap for shares.

The duvakitug catalyst Next year, key drivers for the growth rebound include biosimilars, plus incremental sales growth for Teva's aforementioned flagship drugs. However, next year and beyond, duvakitug could be key to the company's further turnaround. The drug, which Teva co-developed with Sanofi, is currently in clinical trials as a treatment for ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease.
If phase 3 clinical trial results prove as promising as recently released phase 2b findings, this drug could be on the fast track toward commercialization. Management has previously guided for duvakitug to reach between $2 billion and $5 billion in peak annual sales. Considering this, any progress with duvakitug could drive yet another massive rally, especially as the stock sells for less than 10 times estimated 2027 earnings. This strongly suggests taking advantage of near-term weakness by making this stock a long-term buy.

MercadoLibre vykázal růst tržeb o 49 %, ale provozní zisk klesl o 20 % kvůli vyšším logistickým nákladům a investicím do Mercado Pago. Trh se soustředí na nižší marži, ne na sílu ekosystému.
When MercadoLibre (MELI +0.16%) reported another quarter of strong revenue growth, investors quickly shifted their attention elsewhere:
Operating margin narrowed. Logistics costs increased. Shipping subsidies remained elevated. These became investors' focus instead of the headline growth of 49%.
The market's concern was straightforward: MercadoLibre's growth is becoming more expensive. That's a fair concern, since profitability ultimately determines shareholder returns. But it also raises a more important question:
What if today's margins tell us less about MercadoLibre's future than the strength of its ecosystem?
Long-term investors should care about both.
Image source: Getty Images.
Margins tell you where the business is today There are many ways to analyze a business, of which operating margin is probably one of the easiest to understand and track.
Higher margins usually signal pricing power, operating leverage, or disciplined execution. On the other hand, lower margins often suggest rising competitive pressure or heavier investment.
And that's exactly why MercadoLibre's recent results worried investors. The company lowered free-shipping thresholds in Brazil, expanded its logistics network, and continued investing aggressively in Mercado Pago. Those decisions pushed costs higher and compressed profitability. For perspective, operating profit fell by 20% despite the massive revenue growth.
Viewed quarter by quarter, the market's reaction makes sense. After all, nobody likes a lower profit.
But here's the thing. Quarterly margins only inform us what the company is today. They don't explain what kind of business MercadoLibre will become over the next few years. And that's why investors should also focus on other leading indicators.

The strength of the ecosystems creates tomorrow's margins The businesses that generate exceptional returns over the long run rarely maximize profits while they're building competitive advantages. Instead, they invest heavily to strengthen the ecosystem first.
For instance, Amazon spent decades building fulfillment infrastructure before retail margins improved. Costco invests heavily in lowering merchandise margins to create extraordinary customer loyalty, making money solely from its memberships. Similarly, Uber in the early days prioritized network density over profitability.
MercadoLibre appears to be following the same playbook. Every additional logistics hub shortens delivery times. Every new Mercado Pago user increases payment adoption. Every merchant that relies on Mercado Envios becomes more deeply embedded in the platform. Every advertiser that buys Mercado Ads creates another high-margin revenue stream.
Individually, these investments pressure margins in the short term. But collectively, they strengthen the ecosystem over the years that follow. And stronger ecosystems usually create better economics over time.
The metrics that investors should watch Instead of asking whether the operating margin expanded this quarter, investors should ask whether MercadoLibre's competitive strength has improved. And areas to focus on are:
Are buyers shopping more frequently? Are merchants relying on MercadoLibre for more than just sales? Are more consumers using Mercado Pago more often outside the marketplace? Are advertisers spending more to reach the platform's growing audience? If the answer to those questions is yes, MercadoLibre's competitive moat is likely widening, even if today's margins look weaker. That's because ecosystem strength compounds over time. Once buyers, sellers, payments, logistics, advertising, and credit reinforce one another, each new customer generates more value for the ecosystem than previous customers did.
While these network effects don't appear overnight in an income statement, they eventually show up in pricing power, higher returns on capital, and expanding free cash flow.
In other words, great ecosystems create great margins over time.
What does it mean for investors? To start with, none of what was discussed above means investors should ignore profitability. Eventually, MercadoLibre must convert today's investments into stronger earnings.
But focusing exclusively on quarterly margins risks missing the bigger picture. The company has already proven it can build Latin America's leading commerce and fintech platform.
Now it needs to prove something even more important: That today's investments are making the business stronger tomorrow.
If they are, today's margin pressure may not be a warning sign. It may simply be the cost of building the next phase of MercadoLibre's competitive advantage.
SL Green podepsala dvě nové nájemní smlouvy na téměř 57 000 čtverečních stop v 1185 Sixth Ave., čímž obsazenost věže stoupla na 92 %. Jedna byla obnovení a rozšíření pro Ryan Specialty, druhá nová nájemní smlouva se Solil Management.
Two leases totaling almost 57,000 square feet at SL Green’s 1185 Sixth Ave. were just signed, bringing the 1.1 million square-foot tower between West 46th and 47th streets to about 92% full.
One lease was a 29,166 square-foot renewal and expansion for insurance firm Ryan Specialty LLC, while the other was a new, 27,508 square-foot lease with property management firm Solil Management LLC.
SL Green leasing director Steven Durels said, not surprisingly, “We’re delighted to have both of these highly regarded firms as part of the building’s premier tenant roster.”
The highrise has reached 92% occupancy. Stefano Giovannini The tower recently saw major improvements including for the lobby, elevators and corridors.
Moroccanoil, a luxury and body-care company, recently signed a lease for 37,000 square feet, moving from 135 E. 57th St. which is being converted to apartments.
Other major tenants at 1185 Sixth include Syska Hennessey, Industrial & Commercial Bank of China and Hartree Partners.
Citigroup ve 2. čtvrtletí překonal odhady: tržby stouply o 14 % na 24,8 miliardy USD a čistý zisk vyskočil o 45 % na 5,8 miliardy USD. Akcie ale po výsledcích klesly asi o 7 %, protože banka nezvýšila výhled.
The second quarter proved to be a strong one for big banks, which were fueled by a surge in investment banking and mergers and acquisitions, institutional trading, and rising asset levels. But one big bank failed to impress investors despite reporting solid results in Q2: Citigroup (C +0.23%).
Citigroup stock has tumbled some 7% since the bank reported earnings on July 14. It's surprising given how Citigroup performed, crushing estimates by a wider margin than many of its competitors. But the investment case may have turned negative for many investors on the tepid outlook.
But is this a knee-jerk reaction or a longer-term concern?

Blowout Q2 results Citigroup turned in an excellent second quarter, with revenue up 14% year over year to $24.8 billion. This beat estimates of $23.7 billion. Net income skyrocketed 45% to $5.8 billion, or $3.15 per share, which destroyed consensus estimates of $2.73 per share. Earnings were buoyed by improving credit quality, as provisions for credit losses were $2.5 billion, 12% lower than the same quarter a year ago.
Citigroup posted strong gains across the board. Net interest income rose 13% year over year across the franchise. Equity markets trading revenue soared 45%, while investment banking revenue surged 44% year over year.

Also, its efficiency ratio, which shows how much the bank spends for every dollar of revenue, sank by 530 basis points to 57.4%. And its return on tangible common equity, another key efficiency metric, soared 430 basis points to 13%.
Given the strong results, investors were looking for the bank to raise its guidance, but it did not, as Citigroup maintained its previous guidance across its key metrics. Not only did Citigroup not lift its outlook, it raised some red flags.
Playing the long game On the earnings call, CFO Gonzalo Luchetti said management expects expense growth to outpace revenue growth in some of the next few quarters as the bank invests in its business. Some of the increased spending will come from pulling forward investments initially slated for 2027.
"We are taking full advantage of the market conditions, particularly if they are good in the second half, to be able to make the investments and take actions that will drive growth for the next number of years. And that is where and that is the message that the Street should be taking from this," CEO Jane Fraser said on the earnings call. "We are playing the long game."
The Street is actually bullish on Citigroup stock, with 77% rating it as a buy. It has a median price target of $156 per share, which suggests 18% upside.
Citigroup stock is cheap right now, trading at 12 times forward earnings and a PEG ratio below 1 at 0.72. And if the next few quarters are choppy, it could become even cheaper. The outlook may have changed the short-term investment case for some, but as Fraser said, they are playing the long game. It might not be a bad stock to pick up if it dips further, as the efficiency and growth metrics have been excellent.

ServiceNow ve 2. čtvrtletí zvýšil výnosy o 24 % na 3,99 miliardy USD a výnosy z předplatného o 25 % na 3,88 miliardy USD. Firma zároveň zvedla celoroční výhled výnosů z předplatného na 15,76–15,78 miliardy USD.
ServiceNow (NOW +7.38%) continued to deliver excellent revenue growth when the software-as-a-service (SaaS) company reported its Q2 earnings; however, it once again wasn't enough to lift the beaten-down stock. There has been a narrative that AI will disrupt the software layer, and as a result, SaaS stocks have seemingly been able to do no right. As a result, ServiceNow stock is down 40% on the year.
While its stock has been struggling, ServiceNow has shown no signs of its growth slowing down. The company's platform is the backbone of its customers' entire software stacks, and it's been seeing strong growth with both its AI and cybersecurity offerings.

Accelerating growth For Q2, ServiceNow's revenue jumped 24% year over year to $3.99 billion, while its adjusted earnings per share (EPS) rose 11% to $0.90. That was above the $0.86 in adjusted EPS and $3.93 billion in revenue that analysts were expecting.
Subscription revenue climbed 25% year over year to $3.88 billion, while professional services revenue rose 9% to $110 million. On a constant currency basis, subscription revenue accelerated from 19% growth in Q1 to that 23% growth.
ServiceNow is seeing strength in several areas. Its AI annual contract value (ACV) surged 40% quarter over quarter to over $1 billion, and it is on track to hit $1.5 trillion by year-end. Meanwhile, it said it already has a $1 billion cybersecurity business and that it's growing faster than any other top company in the space. It added that AI Control Tower, which launched just this spring, is "supercharging" its security and risk business.
The company also highlighted the momentum it was seeing in customer relationship management (CRM). It said this is already a $2 billion ACV business and that growth has been accelerating.
Another closely watched SaaS metric is remaining performance obligations (RPO), which is deferred revenue plus backlog growth, as it can be a future revenue growth indicator. In the quarter, ServiceNow saw its RPO increase by 21% to $29 billion, while current RPO (cRPO) also increased by 21% to $13.2 billion.
Looking ahead, the company projected its Q3 subscription revenue to grow 20.5% to a range of $3.975 billion to $3.98 billion. It anticipates cRPO to increase by 19.5%. For the full year, the company raised its subscription revenue guidance to a range of $15.76 billion and $15.78 billion, representing growth of 22.5%. That was up from prior revenue guidance of $15.735 billion to $15.775 billion, representing growth of 22% to 22.5%.
The company indicated that its guidance is likely conservative and that there could be upside given its strong new net ACV.

Trading at a forward price-to-sales (P/S) multiple of 5 based on 2027 analyst estimates and a forward P/E of 18, the stock looks undervalued for a company with a highly recurring business model and strong gross margins that is growing its revenue above 20%. However, valuation alone isn't a reason enough to buy the stock.
While it does face the risk of AI disruption, given how embedded its systems are in customers' workflows and data, I think this risk is minimal. I also think most organizations will not want to tie their fortunes to one AI model company, which is a big reason why having a separate software layer is important. Meanwhile, ServiceNow appears to be doing all the right things. It's leaned into both AI and cybersecurity, and it's handling business as usual.
At the same time, its AI Control Tower looks like it has strong potential to be a future growth driver. The rise of AI agents should create a big need for agentic AI orchestration platforms, and its solution looks poised to be a top option. It is designed to oversee every AI agent model running within an organization, while monitoring their performance and making sure they follow governance rules. With its acquisitions of Armis and Veza, it also has strong security protocols in place.
While it likely will require patience, I'd be a buyer of the stock.

Netflix po výsledcích za čtvrtletí oznámil rekordní zpětný odkup akcií za téměř 5 miliard USD a zvýšil autorizaci na 27 miliard USD. Management dál čeká růst tržeb o 13 % až 14 % a provozní marži 31,5 % za celý rok.
Netflix (NFLX +1.73%) shares fell 8% after its second-quarter report on July 16, yet the streaming giant is on pace for its most profitable year ever. The company spent nearly $5 billion on stock buybacks, its largest quarterly repurchase activity on record, and management reloaded its buyback authorization to $27 billion.
All of this comes at a time when investors appear disinterested, even as shares trade for less than 20 times earnings. The stock is down nearly 50% from last year's high, weighed down by a valuation rerating and concerns that user engagement is softening against rising competition from short-form video, podcasts, gaming, and other streamers.
Image source: The Motley Fool.
A maturing model Management argued on the earnings call last week that raw viewing hours don't tell the whole story, and its Q2 shareholder letter described engagement as healthy. Management continues to expect revenue growth of 13% to 14% and an operating margin of 31.5% for the full year. That's more than 1,000 basis points of margin expansion over the past three years.
The company's cash flow profile is strengthening as revenue growth outpaces content spending growth. Free cash flow is expected to grow by more than 30% this year to $12.5 billion, up from previous guidance of $11 billion, as margins continue to expand. Given the stock's performance of late, long-term Netflix shareholders are understandably left scratching their heads.
Management also noted that recent price increases in key markets, such as the U.S. and Mexico, have "gone well." The $8.99 ad-supported subscription plan provides an affordable entry point, and the company expects ad revenue to roughly double to $3 billion in 2026. That's still just 6% of revenue, but it carries higher incremental margins than the core subscription business, giving the margin story more room to run.

The battle for attention Concerns surrounding user engagement were circulating heading into the report. On the earnings call, management pushed back on these concerns, arguing that engagement had improved slightly in the first half of the year. Still, the company's decision to move its detailed engagement report from a semi-annual to an annual release raises questions, especially after it stopped reporting subscriber metrics last year.
The rising competition for eyeballs and content quality are factors that have weighed on the stock. According to Nielsen, YouTube now captures roughly 13.5% of U.S. television viewing, well above Netflix's estimated 8% share. Netflix competes for viewing time, not only with other streamers, but with free alternatives like short-form video and podcasts.
More importantly, the consumer market for artificial intelligence (AI) is still in the early innings, creating further uncertainty around what the competitive landscape will look like in a few years.
That said, at 19 times forward earnings, the risk/reward has shifted. The stock hasn't been this attractively priced in a long time. While the engagement story is far from settled, a high-quality platform like Netflix is worth investing in at a below-market multiple.
