HARTFORD, Conn. and BOSTON, June 30, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Eversource Energy (NYSE:ES) (“Eversource”) today announced that it has successfully completed the sale of Aquarion Water Company (“AWC”), consistent with all regulatory terms and requirements, to Aquarion Water Authority (“AWA”), a quasi-public corporation and political subdivision of the State of Connecticut and a standalone water authority alongside the South Central Connecticut Regional Water Authority (“RWA”). The total transaction purchase price was $2.4 billion cash. The adjusted net equity proceeds of approximately $1.7 billion will be used to displace Eversource debt, delivering on our commitment to strengthen the Eversource balance sheet.

On January 27, 2025, Eversource entered a definitive agreement to sell AWC to AWA. The sale was approved by the Connecticut Public Utilities Regulatory Authority on March 25, 2026.

“We are pleased to close this transaction, which is a key piece of our commitment to further strengthen our balance sheet and credit profile,” said Eversource Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer John Moreira. “The sale of Aquarion constitutes a significant milestone in furthering our strategic position as a pure-play regulated pipes and wires utility, allowing us to optimize our portfolio by focusing on our core electric and natural gas operations across New England while efficiently reinvesting capital for the benefit of our customers. As we continue to collaborate with stakeholders across our service territories in Connecticut, Massachusetts and New Hampshire to deliver cost-effective solutions that ensure safe, reliable electric and natural gas service for our customers, we are confident that Aquarion’s operational success, sound management and financial stewardship will continue under the new authority model – benefitting residents, businesses and communities for years to come.”

As a result of the sale, Eversource expects to recognize an after-tax non-cash non-recurring charge of approximately $115 million, or $0.31 per share, in the second quarter of 2026.   The Company's revised 2026 non-GAAP guidance of $4.57 per share to $4.72 per share includes the impact of the absence of Aquarion earnings. The Company continues to expect that its cumulative long-term earnings per share growth rate would be within the range of 5 to 7 percent through 2030, using the adjusted 2026 non-GAAP earnings guidance mid-point of $4.65 per share as the base year. The Company expects annual earnings growth towards the upper half of its long-term guidance by 2028.

Citi and Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC served as financial advisors to Eversource Energy. Ropes & Gray LLP served as legal counsel to Eversource Energy.  

This release includes financial measures that are not recognized under generally accepted accounting principles (non-GAAP) referencing earnings and EPS excluding the loss on sale of the Aquarion water distribution business and excluding a charge for the March 2026 FERC decision in the FERC base ROE complaints. EPS by business is also a non-GAAP financial measure and is calculated by dividing the Net Income Attributable to Common Shareholders of each business by the weighted average diluted Eversource Energy common shares outstanding for the period. The earnings and EPS of each business do not represent a direct legal interest in the assets and liabilities of such business but rather represent a direct interest in Eversource Energy’s assets and liabilities as a whole. Eversource Energy uses these non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate and provide details of earnings results by business and to more fully compare and explain results without including these items. This information is among the primary indicators management uses as a basis for evaluating performance and planning and forecasting of future periods. Management believes the loss on sale of the Aquarion water distribution business and the charge for the March 2026 FERC decision in the FERC base ROE complaints are not indicative of Eversource Energy’s ongoing costs and performance. Management views these charges as not directly related to the ongoing operations of the business and therefore not indicators of baseline operating performance. Due to the nature and significance of the effect of these items on Net Income Attributable to Common Shareholders and EPS, management believes that the non-GAAP presentation is a more meaningful representation of Eversource Energy’s financial performance and provides additional and useful information to readers of this report in analyzing historical and future performance of the business. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as alternatives to reported Net Income Attributable to Common Shareholders and EPS determined in accordance with GAAP as indicators of Eversource Energy's operating performance. Eversource Energy does not provide a reconciliation of guidance from non-GAAP recurring earnings or non-GAAP recurring EPS to the most directly comparable GAAP measure because it is not able to predict with reasonable certainty the amount or nature of all items that will be included in Net Income Attributable to Common Shareholders or recurring EPS for the year ending December 31, 2026. These items are uncertain, depend on many factors and could have a material impact on Net Income Attributable to Common Shareholders and recurring EPS for the year ending December 31, 2026, and therefore cannot be made available without unreasonable effort.

This release also includes statements concerning Eversource Energy’s expectations, beliefs, plans, objectives, goals, strategies, assumptions of future events, future financial performance or growth and other statements that are not historical facts. These statements are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the U.S. federal securities laws. Generally, readers can identify these forward-looking statements through the use of words or phrases such as “estimate,” “expect,” “pending,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “project,” “believe,” “forecast,” “would,” “should,” “could” and other similar expressions. Forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from those included in the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are based on the current expectations, estimates, assumptions or projections of management and are not guarantees of future performance. These expectations, estimates, assumptions or projections may vary materially from actual results. Accordingly, any such statements are qualified in their entirety by reference to, and are accompanied by, the following important factors that may cause our actual results or outcomes to differ materially from those contained in our forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to: cyber events or breaches, including acts of war or terrorism, affecting our systems or the systems of third parties on which we rely, unauthorized access to, and the misappropriation of, confidential and proprietary Company, customer, employee, financial or system operating information; actions or inaction of local, state and federal regulatory, public policy and taxing bodies; changes in laws, regulations, Presidential executive orders or regulatory policy, including compliance with laws and regulations, which may impact the cost of compliance and strategic initiatives of the Company; adverse publicity, which can harm our reputation, influence legislative and regulatory bodies, and result in unfavorable outcomes; variability in the costs and final investment returns of the Revolution Wind and South Fork Wind offshore wind projects as it relates to the purchase price post-closing adjustment under the terms of the sale agreement for these projects; the ability to qualify for investment tax credits; extreme weather, including severe storms, due to the impacts of climate change, and fluctuations in weather patterns; physical attacks or grid disturbances that may damage and disrupt our electric transmission and electric and natural gas distribution systems; ability or inability to commence and complete our major strategic development projects and opportunities; breakdown, failure of, or damage to operating equipment, information technology systems, or processes of our transmission and distribution systems; changes in levels or timing of capital expenditures, including unplanned expenditures and increased capital expenditure requirements; changes in business conditions, which could include disruptive technology or development of alternative energy sources related to our current or future business model; substandard performance of third-party suppliers and service providers, or counterparties not meeting their obligations; limits on our access to, or increases in, the cost of capital, including disruptions in the capital markets or other events that make our access to necessary capital more difficult or costly; changes in economic conditions, including impact on interest rates, tax policies, tariffs and customer demand and payment ability; changes in accounting standards and financial reporting regulations; actions of rating agencies, and other presently unknown or unforeseen factors.

Other risk factors are detailed in Eversource Energy’s reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). They are updated as necessary and available on Eversource Energy’s website at investors.eversource.com and on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov and management encourages you to consult such disclosures.

All such factors are difficult to predict and contain uncertainties that may materially affect Eversource Energy’s actual results, many of which are beyond our control. You should not place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements, as each speaks only as of the date on which such statement is made, and, except as required by federal securities laws, Eversource Energy undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statement or statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which such statement is made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. New factors emerge from time to time and it is not possible for us to predict all of such factors, nor can we assess the impact of each such factor on the business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements.

NEW YORK, June 30, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Pomerantz LLP is investigating claims on behalf of investors of Primoris Services Corporation (“Primoris” or the “Company”) (NYSE: PRIM).  Such investors are advised to contact Danielle Peyton at [email protected] or 646-581-9980, ext. 7980.

The investigation concerns whether Primoris and certain of its officers and/or directors have engaged in securities fraud or other unlawful business practices. 

[Click here for information about joining the class action]

On May 5, 2026, Primoris issued a press release reporting its financial results for the first quarter of 2026.  Primoris reported results below analyst expectations and slashed full-year adjusted EBITDA guidance from $560-$580 million to $480-$500 million.  Primoris attributed the reduction to lower renewable energy activity, delayed project starts, and increased costs on renewable energy projects. 

On this news, Primoris’s stock price fell $101.69 per share, or 50.11%, to close at $101.23 per share on May 6, 2026. 

Then, on June 22, 2026, Primoris issued a press release “announc[ing] a series of business updates including the departure of its Chief Operating Officer (‘COO’), effective today.”  The press release also disclosed that “[a]dditional challenges and cost overruns were identified as a result of continued progress on projects in the Company’s Renewables business, including through an ongoing assessment by a third-party industry expert.”  Primoris advised that it “also anticipat[es] lower revenue and gross profit for the full year 2026, primarily driven by lower expected revenue and gross profit in the Renewables business” and “now expects revenue in the Renewables business for the full year 2026 to be approximately $2.1 billion, compared to approximately $3.0 billion for the full year of 2025.”  Accordingly, Primoris disclosed that it “anticipat[es] lower revenue and gross profit for the full year 2026, primarily driven by lower expected revenue and gross profit in the Renewables business” and “now expects revenue in the Renewables business for the full year 2026 to be approximately $2.1 billion, compared to approximately $3.0 billion for the full year of 2025.” 

On this news, Primoris’s stock price fell $23.39 per share, or 21.59%, to close at $84.95 per share on June 23, 2026.

That wraps up our initial coverage of Nike’s Q4 results. Thank you for stopping by!

Check out management’s earnings call at 5 PM ET for more updates.

52 minutes ago

Live

Nike’s reported $0.72 EPS looks like a massive beat versus Wall Street’s $0.12 estimate, but investors should understand what drove the result.

The company said fourth-quarter earnings included a $986 million benefit from the recovery of tariffs. That one-time item added approximately $0.52 per share to diluted EPS and boosted gross margin by roughly 900 basis points.

Adjusting for that benefit paints a different picture:

Reported EPS: $0.72 Less one-time tariff recovery: $0.52 Adjusted core EPS: $0.20 Likewise, Nike’s reported 49.2% gross margin falls to roughly 40.2% after excluding the tariff-related benefit.

The quarter was still better than expected, but the headline earnings number significantly overstates the underlying improvement in Nike’s core business. Going forward, investors will likely focus on whether Nike can generate sustainable revenue growth and margin expansion without similar tailwinds.

1 hour ago

Live

Nike’s revenue trends showed a business still navigating a challenging consumer environment, with some encouraging pockets of strength. Fourth-quarter revenue totaled $11.0 billion, down 1% from a year ago, as continued weakness in Greater China and EMEA weighed on overall results.

Underneath the surface, however, the sales mix tells a more nuanced story. Wholesale revenue increased 4% to $6.6 billion, driven primarily by growth in North America, while Nike Direct revenue declined 7% to $4.1 billion.

Management said Nike Brand Digital sales fell 12%, while revenue from Nike-owned stores decreased 7%, reflecting continued pressure across its direct-to-consumer business.

Overall, Nike Brand revenue slipped just 0.4% year over year, suggesting the company’s core product portfolio is beginning to stabilize even as certain regions remain under pressure.

Investors will likely be watching upcoming quarters to see whether wholesale momentum continues and whether digital sales can return to growth as Nike’s turnaround progresses.

1 hour ago

Live

While investors will naturally focus on Nike’s earnings beat, the biggest driver of the quarter was a dramatic improvement in profitability. Gross margin jumped 890 basis points to 49.2%, with the company attributing most of the increase to the expected recovery of International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) tariffs.

According to Nike, the tariff recovery contributed roughly 900 basis points of gross margin benefit during the quarter and added approximately $0.52 per diluted share to earnings.

That helps explain why EPS came in at $0.72, crushing Wall Street’s $0.12 expectation despite revenue remaining under pressure.

Investors will now be listening closely on the conference call to determine how much of this margin improvement represents a one-time benefit versus a more durable improvement in Nike’s earnings power. If margins remain elevated even as sales recover, it could meaningfully improve the company’s profitability heading into fiscal 2027.

Beyond the bull/bear setup, four wildcards aren’t fully reflected in the $0.11 consensus.

Four Wild Cards Hiding in Tonight’s Report KeyCorp’s eleventh-hour cut: At 12:13 PM ET today, KeyCorp slashed its Q4 estimate from $0.29 to $0.12, resetting the bar hours before the release. CFO transition: Matthew Friend is stepping down, with former Pfizer CFO David M. Denton taking over. Expect commentary on capital allocation and guidance philosophy. Tax rate normalization: The effective tax rate jumped to 20.0% from 5.9%, a swing that could cut either way on EPS. Dow removal risk: Nike is reportedly on “thin ice” for index removal, an overhang amplifying any soft commentary. With shares at $41.10, sentiment is fragile.

After falling from roughly $180 at its 2021 peak to around the $40 range, Nike stock now trades at about 22x forward earnings and is approaching 1x trailing sales, a valuation the company hasn’t seen since the depths of the 2008-09 financial crisis.

Act now: the analyst who called NVIDIA in 2010 just named his top 10 AI stocks — and Nike didn't make the cut. Grab the names FREE today.

The question is whether the business can grow into that valuation. Analysts currently expect 22% EPS growth in fiscal 2027, even though revenue is projected to be essentially flat.

If management can show investors that North America is stabilizing, China is improving, and revenue growth is finally returning, the market may begin to price Nike as a recovery story rather than a company still searching for a bottom.

Nike’s turnaround ultimately comes down to driving revenue growth again.

The company has posted year-over-year revenue declines in six of its last nine quarters, while analysts currently expect another 2% sales decline this quarter.

Investors have shown they’re willing to look past near-term margin pressure, but they need evidence that demand is stabilizing.

For a brand as mature as Nike, sustained revenue growth is likely the clearest signal that the business has turned the corner and will be top of mind among investors tonight.

Key Topics & Buzzwords Listen for: “Sport Offense,” “integrated marketplace,” sell-through, NIKE MIND traction. Red Flags EMEA inventory still elevated, withdrawn FY27 guidance, or tariff impact exceeding the guided 250 basis points. With shares -33.87% YTD, tone matters as much as the numbers. 2 hours ago

Nike has already laid out much of its turnaround strategy, making tonight’s earnings report an important bridge to the company’s fall Investor Day.

CEO Elliott Hill recently said the company’s “Win Now” initiatives remain on track to be substantially completed by year-end, with full long-term financial guidance expected this fall.

While analysts expect Nike to earn just $0.11 per share, the bigger key questions for the business are whether gross margins continue to recover, whether sales trends in China show signs of stabilizing, and whether management strikes a confident tone about the pace of the turnaround.

CEO Hill’s recent open-market stock purchase has also raised expectations that leadership believes the business is approaching an inflection point. If Nike can pair solid execution with a constructive outlook, investor sentiment could finally begin catching up with the company’s improving operating fundamentals.

Investors are watching Nike (NYSE:NKE) ahead of fiscal Q4 2026 results due at 4:15 PM ET after the market closes today. With shares down 33.87% year-to-date, this report has to give Nike’s turnaround story a pulse and could offer promising guidance for fiscal 2027.

The Comeback Hits Its Toughest Test CEO Elliott Hill called fiscal 2026 the “middle innings” of Nike’s comeback, and the last report showed why. Q3 revenue was flat on a reported basis, EPS of $0.35 beat the $0.28 consensus, and gross margin declined 130 basis points to 40.2% on a 300 basis point tariff hit in North America.

Since then, shares are down 9.47% over the past month and trade near a 52-week low of $40.00, well below the 200-day moving average of $57.94. Despite the decline, CEO Elliot Hill bought 47,320 shares on April 13 at roughly $42.27, joined by directors Tim Cook, John Rogers, and Bob Swan.

Consensus Estimates Metric Q4 FY26 Estimate Prior Year EPS $0.11 $0.14 Revenue trajectory (company guide) Down 2% to 4% — FY26 EPS (TTM) $1.52 diluted FY26 Revenue (TTM) $46.52B Tariffs, China, and the FY27 Setup Tonight, I’ll be watching three things. First, gross margin. CFO Matthew Friend guided Q4 margin down 25 to 75 basis points, including 250 basis points of tariff drag. He flagged Q2 fiscal 2027 as the last quarter of material tariff headwinds, so any commentary that tightens that timeline matters.

Second, Greater China. Friend told the Street to expect the region down approximately 20% in Q4 as Nike intentionally pulls sell-in to clean the marketplace. Q3 China revenue was down 10% with inventory down mid-teens. Investors will want to hear that profitability is bottoming out even as revenue continues to fall.

Third, North America momentum. Wholesale grew 11% in Q3 while Direct fell. Hill said the region saw positive growth in all channels for the first time in two years. Running was up over 20%. If those trends extend, the “Win Now” framework looks real.

Prediction markets price a 92% probability of an EPS beat, which would be the eighth quarter in a row. The harder question is the stock’s reaction. Nike has averaged a -3.71% one-week move after results.

Chevron (CVX 1.61%), one of the world's largest integrated energy companies, pays a forward dividend yield of 4.2%. It's raised its dividend annually for 39 consecutive years, putting it on track to become a Dividend King if it maintains that streak for 50 years in a row. Let's see why Chevron will remain a reliable income stock even as oil prices endure some volatile swings.

Image source: Getty Images.

What sets Chevron apart from its competitors? Chevron owns upstream exploration and extraction, midstream pipeline infrastructure, and downstream refining and chemical production businesses.

When oil prices rise, upstream businesses flourish as their revenue growth outpaces their expenses -- but downstream businesses can struggle with rising input costs. Declining oil prices can help downstream companies but hurt upstream ones. Midstream companies, which merely charge tolls for using their pipelines, can generate stable profits in both environments.

Chevron's scale and diversification across all three markets make it a more reliable, all-weather play on the energy market than stand-alone upstream, midstream, and downstream companies. It has a presence in 180 countries, but most of its oil and natural gas comes from the U.S., Kazakhstan, and Australia rather than the volatile Middle East.

Why is Chevron a reliable dividend stock? Over the past 12 months, Chevron spent 95% of its free cash flow (FCF) on its dividends. That high cash dividend payout might seem like a red flag, but the energy giant has plenty of ways to generate more cash. It's expanding its Tengiz Field in Kazakhstan, upgrading its main field in the Permian Basin, launching new deepwater projects in the Gulf of Mexico, increasing its natural gas production in Australia, and ramping up its presence in Guyana, one of the world's fastest-growing oil regions, through its recent acquisition of Hess.

Chevron expects those catalysts to boost its oil and gas production by 2%-3% annually through 2030. To achieve that expansion without crushing its margins, it aims to reduce its structural costs by $3 billion to $4 billion by the end of 2026. Analysts expect its adjusted EPS to nearly double this year, yet its stock still looks like a bargain at 11 times forward earnings.

Chevron's stock declined over the past month as oil prices pulled back, but it should easily weather the downturn and continue to raise its dividends. It's been a reliable income stock for nearly four decades, and it will remain a top energy dividend play for the foreseeable future.

NEW YORK, June 30, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Pomerantz LLP announces that a class action lawsuit has been filed against First Solar, Inc. (“First Solar” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: FSLR) and certain officers. The class action, filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York, and docketed under 26-cv-03787, is on behalf of a class consisting of all persons and entities other than Defendants that purchased or otherwise acquired First Solar securities between February 26, 2025 and February 24, 2026, both dates inclusive (the “Class Period”), seeking to recover damages caused by Defendants’ violations of the federal securities laws and to pursue remedies under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder, against the Company and certain of its top officials.

If you are an investor who purchased or otherwise acquired First Solar securities during the Class Period, you have until August 24, 2026, to ask the Court to appoint you as Lead Plaintiff for the class.

First Solar is a solar technology company that provides photovoltaic (“PV”) solar energy solutions. First Solar manufactures and sells PV solar modules that convert sunlight into electricity. As relevant here, First Solar’s product offerings include its Series 6 Plus PV module, manufactured at facilities in locations including Malaysia and Vietnam.

At the outset of the Class Period, Defendants announced that First Solar would reduce production output of Series 6 modules at facilities in Malaysia and Vietnam in 2025, to account for circumstances including, inter alia, an “uncertain U.S. policy environment following the 2024 U.S. elections,” and “a supply and demand imbalance for Southeast Asian product”. Notwithstanding these circumstances, First Solar reassured investors that its primary market, the United States, enjoyed stable module prices.

Then, on April 2, 2025, United States (“U.S.”) President Donald J. Trump announced a series of “reciprocal” tariffs on U.S. imports from all countries, including rates of 24% and 46% on Malaysia and Vietnam, respectively, presenting a challenge to First Solar. These tariffs were subsequently reduced to 10%. Throughout the Class Period, Defendants continued to assure investors that the dynamic policy landscape presented a “long term favorable” for First Solar and actually “strengthened [its] relative position in the solar manufacturing industry”.

The complaint alleges that, throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and misleading statements regarding the Company’s business, operations, and compliance policies. Specifically, Defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (i) Defendants had overstated First Solar’s capacity to manage the impact of U.S. tariff policy on the Company’s business; (ii) Defendants understated the extent to which its responses to U.S. tariff policy, including the intentional underutilization of production facilities in Malaysia and Vietnam, and attempted relocation of production to the U.S., were likely to negatively impact First Solar’s projected performance in the 2026 fiscal year; and (iii) as a result, Defendants’ public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.

The truth began to emerge on January 7, 2026, when Jefferies downgraded First Solar to Hold from Buy, noting that during 2025, the Company had lowered guidance, faced significant de-bookings and experienced margin compression through 2025. Jefferies also flagged that “[international] facilities remain a pain point while tariffs exist” and “underutilization at [international] facilities remains a concern.” The Jefferies analyst also predicted that First Solar’s deployment opportunities were likely to be more limited in 2026.

On this news, First Solar’s stock price fell $27.67 per share, or 10.29%, to close at $241.11 per share on January 7, 2026.

Then, on February 24, 2026, First Solar issued a press release “announc[ing] financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2025.” Among other items, First Solar announced earnings that missed expectations by a wide margin and issued lower-than-expected FY 2026 revenue guidance, citing customer headwinds such as permitting delays under the Trump administration. Following First Solar’s announcement, Baird Research downgraded its stock to Neutral from Outperform, citing “several question marks in forward outlook”.

On this news, First Solar’s stock price fell $33.09 per share, or 13.61%, to close at $210.12 per share on February 25, 2026.

Plug Power stock is surging to new heights today. Why is PLUG stock up today? What Is Driving Plug Power’s Growth in Denmark?Plug said it completed installation, commissioning, site acceptance testing, and handover of a 5 MW GenEco PEM electrolyzer system at the Måde Power-to-X facility in Esbjerg, Denmark, moving the site into active hydrogen production. At full capacity, the company expects about 550 metric tons of green hydrogen annually (roughly 1,500 truckloads), with output certified as Renewable Fuel of Non-Biological Origin under the ISCC scheme.

Plug has also been leaning into a speed-and-repeatability message, emphasizing a fully containerized design intended to reduce on-site complexity and accelerate production readiness. That "repeatable execution" framing has been tied to CEO José Luis Crespo’s push for more disciplined growth.

With markets open, the backdrop is supportive: the Nasdaq-100 is up 1.81% and Industrials ranks No. 2 out of 11 sectors today, even though overall breadth is mixed (advance/decline ratio of 0.6). In that context, PLUG’s outsized pop reads as a stock-specific "execution update" tailwind layered on top of a generally positive session.

Plug Power Stock: Key Levels and Momentum IndicatorsFrom a trend standpoint, the stock is still trying to repair a pullback: it’s trading 7.5% below the 20-day SMA ($2.93) and 16.5% below the 50-day SMA ($3.25), which can act as overhead supply if rallies fade. It’s also just 1.1% below the 100-day SMA ($2.74), while holding 4% above the 200-day SMA ($2.61), keeping the longer-term line in the sand close.

MACD is the cleaner momentum read right now: it’s below its signal line and the histogram is negative, which points to upside pressure cooling unless buyers can reclaim that baseline. Put simply, when MACD is below its signal line, momentum is usually fading rather than building.

The near-term structure stays mixed: the 20-day SMA below the 50-day SMA is a bearish setup, but the 50-day SMA remains above the 200-day SMA (the golden cross from September 2025), which helps keep the bigger picture from fully breaking down. Zooming out, the stock is still working inside a wide 52-week range between $4.58 (October 2025) and $1.13, with a swing low in April and a swing high in June framing the current consolidation.

Key Resistance: $2.50 — a nearby pivot/round-number area that can cap rebounds, with the long-term moving-average zone close by What Is Plug Power’s Green Hydrogen Ecosystem?Plug Power is building an end-to-end green hydrogen ecosystem, from production, storage, and delivery to energy generation. The company plans to build and operate green hydrogen highways across North America and Europe.

Plug will deliver its green hydrogen solutions directly to its customers and through joint venture partners into multiple end markets, including material handling, e-mobility, power generation, and industrial applications. That’s why the Denmark handover matters: it’s a real-world proof point for "repeatable execution" in electrolyzers and hydrogen production, not just a roadmap slide.

Plug Power Stock Price Movement on TuesdayPLUG Stock Price Activity: Plug Power shares were up 5.41% at $2.72 at the time of publication on Tuesday, according to Benzinga Pro data.

Applied Materials (AMAT - Free Report) ) has been one of the hottest stocks in the tech sector, climbing to fresh all-time highs of $739 a share in Tuesday’s trading session, and has now rallied nearly 200% year to date.

The rally reflects growing investor confidence that the artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure boom is still in its early innings, positioning Applied Materials as one of the biggest beneficiaries of rising chip manufacturing spending.

But after such a powerful run, investors are asking the obvious question: Is there still room for AMAT stock to move higher, or has the good news already been priced in?’

Image Source: Zacks Investment Research

Why Applied Materials Stock Is SurgingSeveral catalysts have fueled Applied Materials' recent surge.

Perhaps the biggest driver has been renewed optimism surrounding AI-related semiconductor spending. Strong earnings and bullish outlooks from memory chip giant Micron Technology (MU - Free Report) ) and chipmaker Qualcomm (QCOM - Free Report) ) have reinforced expectations that hyperscalers and semiconductor manufacturers will continue investing aggressively in AI infrastructure.

That spending ultimately flows to semiconductor equipment suppliers like Applied Materials, which provides the tools needed to manufacture advanced chips.

Analysts have become increasingly bullish on the company, with multiple Wall Street firms recently raising their price targets for AMAT after management highlighted accelerating demand for leading-edge logic, Dynamic Random Access Memory (DRAM), and advanced packaging equipment.

To that point, some analysts believe wafer fabrication equipment spending could remain elevated for years to come as AI adoption expands across various industries.

Tracking Applied Materials’ OutlookBased on Zacks estimates, Applied Materials' annual sales are expected to increase 17% this year to a new peak of $33.29 billion, up from $28.37 billion in 2025. Furthermore, fiscal 2027 sales are projected to spike another 25% to $41.74 billion.

More impressively, Applied Materials' adjusted annual earnings are expected to jump 28% this year to a new peak of $12.11 per share, up from EPS of $9.42 on roughly $7 billion in adjusted net income last year. Better still, FY27 EPS is projected to climb another 32% to $15.98.

Image Source: Zacks Investment Research

It’s also noteworthy that over the last 60 days, FY26 and FY27 EPS estimates have risen 9% (F1) and 14% (F2), respectively.

Monitoring AMAT’s ValuationFollowing its sharp rally, AMAT now trades at its highest P/E valuation in the last decade at 57X forward earnings. However, this is not an overly stretched premium to its Zacks Electronics-Semiconductors Industry average of 54X.

Like most AI-related semiconductor stocks, AMAT trades at a noticeable price-to-forward sales (P/S) premium as well, at 19X compared to its industry average of 8X.

Image Source: Zacks Investment Research

Is AMAT Still a Buy?Applied Materials is benefiting from one of the strongest investment cycles the semiconductor industry has experienced in years. Rising AI infrastructure spending, improving industry fundamentals, analyst upgrades, and stronger semiconductor capital expenditure forecasts have all combined to push shares to record highs.

Although investors should expect some volatility after the recent rally, Applied Materials remains well-positioned to capitalize on the long-term AI semiconductor buildout. For investors seeking exposure to the semiconductor equipment space, the company continues to offer an attractive combination of market leadership, strong earnings momentum, and secular growth potential.

Keeping this in mind, Applied Materials stock currently sports a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy), based on the trend of positive earnings estimate revisions, which is helping to justify its elevated P/E valuation.

Robinhood (HOOD 1.34%), the online brokerage that popularized commission-free trading through its streamlined app, generated 20% its revenue from cryptocurrency trades in 2025. The bears often claim that Robinhood's heavy reliance on crypto trading makes it an unreliable long-term investment, given the crypto market's notorious volatility.

But in the first quarter of 2026, Robinhood's total revenue rose 15% year over year to $1.07 billion, even though its crypto trading revenue plunged 47% to $134 million and only accounted for 13% of its top line. Let's see how Robinhood offset its declining crypto revenue, and why that diversification makes it a better long-term investment.

Image source: Getty Images.

Why is Robinhood insulated from the crypto winter? In the first quarter of 2026, Robinhood's options trading revenue rose 8% to $260 million, its equities trading revenue grew 46% to $82 million, and its "other" transaction revenue (mainly consisting of events/prediction contracts) surged 320% to $147 million. That growth offset its declining crypto revenue, and its total transaction-based revenue rose 7% to $623 million.

Fears of interest rate hikes chilled the crypto market in the first quarter. However, elevated interest rates boosted its net interest revenue, which rose 24% year over year to $359 million, as it collected more interest on uninvested user cash, margin books, and securities lending.

Its subscription platform, Robinhood Gold, also expanded 36% year over year to 4.3 million subscribers in the first quarter. As a result, its subscription revenue jumped 57% to $85 million. So even though Robinhood's transaction-based revenue would surge in a new crypto summer, it has enough irons in the fire to keep it warm through the current crypto winter.

Why is Robinhood an attractive long-term investment? From 2025 to 2028, analysts expect Robinhood's revenue and adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) to both grow at CAGRs of 16%.

That growth should be driven by the expansion of the "Robinhood Chain", its own Ethereum (ETH 2.43%) Layer-2 network for the tokenization of stocks, bonds, real estate, and other assets; the expansion of its prediction markets business, its integration of more agentic AI tools into its platform, and the rollout of even more features for its Gold subscribers.

With an enterprise value of $85 billion, Robinhood's stock still looks reasonably valued at 24 times next year's adjusted EBITDA. Its expansion and evolution into a more diversified fintech platform should reduce its dependence on cryptocurrencies and drive its stock even higher.

Shares of Ambarella Inc. AMBA surged about 28% on Tuesday.

The rally came after Rosenblatt Securities identified the edge artificial intelligence chipmaker as one of its top technology stock picks for the second half of 2026, citing its strong positioning in the fast-growing physical AI market.

The brokerage included Ambarella among a select group of eight technology companies it believes offer attractive risk-reward profiles heading into the second half of the year.

Rosenblatt maintained a Buy rating on the stock and reiterated its $120 price target, implying approximately 79% upside from Monday's closing price.

The rally adds to an already strong run for the semiconductor company, whose shares have climbed 74% over the past three months.

Rosenblatt's bullish outlook centers on Ambarella's exposure to what it describes as the rapidly expanding physical AI market, where artificial intelligence is deployed directly on devices rather than relying solely on cloud-based computing.

The brokerage expects AI adoption to continue expanding beyond data centers into real-world applications that require intelligent processing close to the source of data.

"We see AMBA as a Physical AI pure play," analyst Kevin Cassidy wrote in a report released Tuesday.

Cassidy said Ambarella's semiconductor products are well positioned to benefit from growing demand for edge AI computing across multiple industries.

Edge AI applications remain a key growth driverRosenblatt's investment thesis is based largely on increasing demand for AI vision processors capable of delivering high-performance computing with low power consumption directly at the edge.

"Applications such as surveillance, robotics, industrial automation, drones and autonomous systems require high-performance, low-power AI vision processors close to the sensor," Cassidy said, adding, "Ambarella's algorithm first AI [security operations center] architecture delivers."

The brokerage believes these markets position Ambarella to benefit as AI inference increasingly shifts from centralized cloud infrastructure to connected devices such as cameras, autonomous vehicles, robots and industrial equipment.

Recent business developments also support that outlook. Ambarella recently reported record fiscal 2026 revenue, with Edge AI products accounting for approximately 80% of its business.

The company also signed a long-term agreement with Hanwha Group covering security, robotics and industrial automation.

The agreement represents a potential revenue opportunity of up to $800 million over more than a decade, although that figure is not guaranteed.

Despite the positive outlook, Ambarella continues to face execution challenges as it invests heavily to expand its Edge AI business.

The company's long-term growth thesis depends on its Edge AI system-on-chip platforms becoming a critical hardware layer as AI inference moves closer to cameras, vehicles and industrial devices.

Broader enterprise adoption and increased automotive deployments remain key catalysts for the business.

At the same time, higher research and development spending and rising operating costs could pressure financial performance if expected design wins and production volumes fail to materialize.

Ambarella also continues to face customer and geographic concentration risks, which could affect future growth.

According to long-term projections, Ambarella is expected to generate approximately $526.3 million in revenue and $74.3 million in earnings by 2028.

Achieving those figures would require annual revenue growth of about 14.8% and a significant improvement in profitability from its current earnings position.

The agreement to purchase the system was approved by voter referendum in November 2025. This agreement underscores New Jersey American Water's ongoing commitment to delivering safe, clean, reliable and affordable water and wastewater services. By integrating the new system into its operations, the company aims to enhance service reliability, advance infrastructure investments, and improve operational efficiency for Hopewell Borough's customers and this community.

"Following a thorough and thoughtful process with ample community input, we are confident this is the right path forward for Hopewell Borough," said Hopewell Borough Mayor Ryan Kennedy. "By partnering with New Jersey American Water, we are addressing long-term infrastructure needs today while securing dependable, high-quality service and stable rates for our community."

As part of the agreement, New Jersey American Water will invest $7 million in infrastructure improvements to the Hopewell Borough system within the first five years of ownership while keeping rates affordable for the system's customers. Anticipated improvements to the system include identifying and replacing all lead and galvanized steel service lines as well as upgrading aging customer meters, fire hydrants, and water mains. Additionally, New Jersey American Water will shut down the Borough's one operating well that has elevated PFAS levels and provide water to the community through the company's Canal Road and Raritan Millstone Water Treatment Plants which meet current state and federal safe drinking water standards. Further improvement projects will be identified as New Jersey American Water continues its analysis of the system.

"After providing water to Hopewell Borough through an interconnection for over two decades, we're proud to officially welcome the community into our footprint," said Mark McDonough, President of New Jersey American Water. "Our priority is to deliver safe, clean, reliable and affordable service for the 3 million people we serve statewide, including Hopewell. As the community's water provider, we'll start by stabilizing rates, making smart, targeted investments to strengthen the system, and working to address PFAS by first transitioning away from the system's existing well."

Residents will receive additional information in the mail from New Jersey American Water in the coming weeks, and the information is also available now on a new, dedicated webpage on the company's website at newjerseyamwater.com under Customer Service and Billing. Hopewell Borough's residents will now be able to take advantage of the company's customer service benefits, including its online account management portal, MyWater, as well as its H2O Help to Others program for qualifying customers needing help paying their bills.

New Jersey American Water remains focused on delivering industry-leading customer service, environmental stewardship and ongoing infrastructure improvements as it continues to grow and serve more communities across the state. This is New Jersey American Water's tenth acquisition in the last five years, adding more than 25,000 new water and/or wastewater customers.

NEW YORK, June 30, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Pomerantz LLP announces that a class action lawsuit has been filed against Graphic Packaging Holding Company (“Graphic Packaging” or the “Company”) (NYSE: GPK) and certain of its former officers. The class action, filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, and docketed under 26-cv-03790, is on behalf of a class consisting of all persons and entities other than Defendants that purchased or otherwise acquired Graphic Packaging securities between February 4, 2025 and February 2, 2026, both dates inclusive (the “Class Period”), seeking to recover damages caused by Defendants’ violations of the federal securities laws and to pursue remedies under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder, against the Company and certain of its former top officials.

Graphic Packaging, together with its subsidiaries, designs, produces, and sells consumer packaging products.  Its customers include businesses in the food, foodservice, beverage, household, and other consumer product industries in the Americas, Europe, and the Asia Pacific. The Company sells its products through sales offices, as well as through broker arrangements with third parties.

At all relevant times, Defendants touted the purported strength and stability of Graphic Packaging’s business model and operations, as well as its purported ability to deliver on its cost and inventory reduction, free cash flow (FCF”), and profitability goals, notwithstanding ongoing and persistent market headwinds challenging the Company’s and its customers’ businesses.

Indeed, in February 2025, despite its President and Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), Defendant Michael P. Doss (“Doss”), acknowledging “unusual volume challenges for the industry and our customers” over the past several years, Graphic Packaging forecasted full year (“FY”) 2025 net sales, adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted earnings per share (“EPS”) of $8.7 billion to $8.9 billion, $1.68 billion to $1.78 billion, and $2.53 to $2.78, respectively, excluding foreign exchange impacts.  Defendant Doss attributed the Company’s ability to weather the aforementioned headwinds to its overall business model and operations, asserting that Defendants would continue to “build on” the Company’s “consisten[t]” and “profit[able]” and “strong and steady” results in 2025.

The complaint alleges that, throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and misleading statements regarding the Company’s business, operations, and prospects.  Specifically, Defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (i) Graphic Packaging was experiencing, inter alia, significant inventory management issues, as well as significantly reduced demand and volumes and increased costs; (ii) Defendants downplayed the true scope and severity of the foregoing issues, which were likely to, and did, have a material negative impact on the Company’s business and financial results; (iii) Defendants likewise overstated the strength and sustainability of the Company’s business model and operations, as well as its ability to weather ongoing macroeconomic headwinds; (iv) accordingly, the Company’s previously issued FY 2025 financial guidance was unreliable and/or unrealistic; and (v) as a result, Defendants’ public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.

The truth began to emerge on May 1, 2025, when Graphic Packaging issued a press release reporting its first quarter (“Q1”) 2025 financial results.  Among other results, the press release reported Q1 non-GAAP EPS of $0.51, missing consensus estimates by $0.07, and revenue of $2.12 billion, representing a 6.2% year-over-year decline, and missing consensus estimates by $10 million.  The press release further revealed that the Company had negatively revised its previously issued FY 2025 net sales outlook to a range of $8.2 billion to $8.5 billion, significantly down from its prior guidance of $8.7 billion to $8.9 billion; its adjusted EBITDA outlook to a range of $1.4 billion to $1.6 billion, significantly down from its prior guidance of $1.68 billion to $1.78 billion; and its adjusted EPS outlook to a range of $1.75 to $2.25, significantly down from its prior guidance of $2.53 to $2.78.  The Company blamed the negatively revised guidance on “an expectation of a 2% volume decline and $80 million of input cost inflation at the midpoint”, as well as “higher macroeconomic and consumer spending uncertainty.”

On this news, Graphic Packaging’s stock price fell $3.94 per share, or 15.57%, to close at $21.37 per share on May 1, 2025. 

On December 8, 2025, Graphic Packaging issued a press release announcing that it “plans to accelerate certain inventory reduction plans into the fourth quarter that were originally planned for 2026”, and that “[p]roduction curtailment is expected to impact fourth quarter operating results by $15 million, which is in addition to the $15 million relating to” certain earlier-announced curtailments. The Company further revealed that it had negatively revised its FY 2025 financial guidance again, now expecting its adjusted EBITDA “to be in the range of $1.38 billion to $1.43 billion”—significantly below its previously revised guidance of $1.4 billion to $1.45 billion—and adjusted EPS “to be in the range of $1.75 to $1.95”—significantly below its previously revised guidance of $1.80 to $2.00.

In a separate press release issued the same day, Graphic Packaging announced that Defendant Doss had “mutually agreed with [its] Board of Directors to step down from his role [as President and CEO] and as a director effective December 31, 2025.”

Following these disclosures, Graphic Packaging’s stock price fell $1.35 per share, or 8.66%, to close at $14.23 per share on December 9, 2025.

Then, on February 3, 2026, Graphic Packaging issued a press release reporting its fourth quarter (“Q4”) and FY 2025 financial results.  Among other results, Graphic Packaging reported Q4 non-GAAP EPS of $0.29, missing consensus estimates by $0.06.  The Company attributed its disappointing Q4 2025 earnings results to, inter alia, lower volumes, increased costs, and inventory reduction.  Further, Graphic Packaging projected a meaningful decline in adjusted EBITDA in 2026, citing “a $130 million negative impact from actions taken to reduce inventory and generate [FCF], an approximately $100 million accrual (non-cash in 2026) for a return to more normal incentive compensation, January weather and production impacts, and other largely offsetting operating items.”

In the same press release, Graphic Packaging’s new President and CEO, Robbert Rietbroek, announced that he had “initiated a comprehensive review of our organization structure, operations, and footprint,” among other aspects of the Company’s business, thereby confirming the weakness and unsustainability of its present business model and operations.

On this news, Graphic Packaging’s stock price fell $2.36 per share, or 15.97%, to close at $12.42 per share on February 3, 2026.
