Why: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers of Class A or Class C common stock of Zillow Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: ZG) (NASDAQ: Z) between February 11, 2025 and May 7, 2026, both dates inclusive (the "Class Period"), of the important August 10, 2026 lead plaintiff deadline in the securities class action first filed by the Firm.
So what: If you purchased Zillow common stock during the Class Period, you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement.
What to do next: To join the Zillow class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/cases/zillow-group-inc/join or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email [email protected] for information on the class action. A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than August 10, 2026. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation.
Why Rosen Law: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources, or any meaningful peer recognition. Many of these firms do not actually handle securities class actions, but are merely middlemen that refer clients or partner with law firms that actually litigate the cases. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm achieved the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered billions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs' Bar. Many of the firm's attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers.
Details of the case: According to the lawsuit, defendants throughout the Class Period made materially false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) Zillow's agreement with Redfin Corporation was not a "partnership," but rather an acquisition of Redfin's business; (2) as a result of the Redfin Agreement, Zillow faced a materially heightened risk of regulatory scrutiny and liability under federal antitrust laws; (3) upon the filing of an antitrust lawsuit, Zillow continued to downplay its legal exposure; and (4) as a result, defendants' statements about Zillow's business, operations, and prospects, were materially false and misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.

No Class Has Been Certified. Until a class is certified, you are not represented by counsel unless you retain one. You may select counsel of your choice. You may also remain an absent class member and do nothing at this point. An investor's ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff.

Yanjun Wang, CCO and GC of Sea Limited (SE +1.58%), sold 2,700 Class A ordinary shares through an indirect entity on July 16 and 17, 2026, according to a recent SEC Form 4 filing.
Transaction summaryMetricValueTransaction value$286,335Shares sold (indirectly held)2,700Post-transaction shares (directly held)~1,162,000Post-transaction shares (indirectly held)31,300Post-transaction value$124.21 millionTransaction value based on SEC Form 4 weighted average sale price ($106.05); post-transaction value based on July 17, 2026 market close ($104.05).
Key questionsWhat was the mechanism behind this disposition?
The sale was conducted pursuant to a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan adopted by a BVI entity controlled by the reporting person on March 26, 2026, which allows insiders to schedule trades in advance to avoid concerns regarding material non-public information.How does this impact the executive's total exposure to the company?
While the sale liquidated 8% of the indirect holdings held via the BVI entity, the total stake remains substantial as the executive continues to hold about 1.2 million shares directly.What is the recent performance context for the company's equity?
As of the final transaction date on July 17, 2026, Sea Limited shares had a one-year return of (38%), a period during which the company maintained a market capitalization of $62.5 billion.What are the core business drivers for the firm?

The company's competitive advantage derives from its diversified business model that leverages network effects across gaming, commerce, and fintech segments, combined with deep market penetration in high-growth emerging markets where digital adoption continues to accelerate. Sea Limited has established itself as a critical infrastructure provider in digital commerce and entertainment across Southeast Asia and Latin America.
What this transaction means for investorsWang has been clipping shares off the same BVI entity in shrinking batches, 3,000 in mid-July, now 2,700, at steadily lower prices as the stock slid from the $112 range to $106. That's what a plan running on a fixed schedule looks like when the market moves against it. She set the arrangement in March, months before these prices existed, and her direct holding of roughly 1.2 million shares hasn't budged through any of it.
The disconnect between that share price and the underlying business is the real story. Sea's first-quarter revenue climbed 47% to $7.1 billion, adjusted EBITDA cleared $1 billion, and Shopee moved a record $37.3 billion in merchandise. CEO Forrest Li called 2026 a year of "leaning in to deepen our competitive moats" with financial discipline. Still, the stock is down 38% amid growing e-commerce competition, but with revenue growing at its current pace, the stock could be poised for a turnaround, and for what it’s worth, shares have climbed about 30% from a March trough.

Gang Ye, the COO of Sea Limited (SE +1.58%), reported the sale of 40,000 Class A ordinary shares for approximately $4.2 million in an indirect transaction, according to an SEC Form 4 filing.

Key questionsWhat was the structural nature of this transaction?
This was an indirect sale executed through a British Virgin Islands entity controlled by Ye. The activity was non-discretionary, occurring under a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan established in late 2025 to manage equity holdings through a systematic schedule.How significant was the reduction in the insider's equity position?
The 40,000-share sale had a minimal impact on the insider's total exposure, reducing the overall stake by 0.2%. The vast majority of the insider's equity remains held directly, totaling over 21.6 million shares following the transaction.What is the company's current market profile?

Sea Limited has established itself as a critical infrastructure provider in digital commerce and entertainment across Southeast Asia and Latin America.
What this transaction means for investorsYe's BVI entity is working through a schedule set late last year, and the falling execution prices are just what the market handed it. The Sea co-founder's direct stake of more than 21.6 million shares, worth over $2.2 billion, hasn't moved through either sale, and trimming 0.2% of a position that size is a bookkeeping exercise for a billionaire. In other words, this isn’t something long-term investors should read too deeply into without any accelerated pace of selling.
The stock, meanwhile, has clawed back about 30% from its March low and still sits far below where it started the year. That gap is peculiar against the firm’s latest results: First-quarter revenue rose 47% to $7.1 billion as adjusted EBITDA topped $1 billion, and Shopee handled a record $37.3 billion in merchandise. The recovery off the March bottom will be important to watch. If the business keeps compounding at these rates, the rebound has room to run. If growth cools, however, a stock this far off its highs could find lower lows.

What this transaction means for investorsAmid a slew of trading plan-driven Sea Limited stock sales this past week, it’s important to note here that Hou is the finance chief, the executive with the clearest view of the books, which makes what he kept more telling than what he sold. His direct position of over 2.4 million shares, worth roughly $253 million, is virtually untouched: He sold just six-tenths of a percent of it.
Meanwhile, the numbers he oversees have been strong, even if the stock has been intensely volatile amid broader uncertainty around e-commerce competition, with first-quarter revenue climbing 47% to $7.1 billion and adjusted EBITDA passing $1 billion. In the firm’s earnings report, CEO Forrest Li noted that the firm is starting to see improved unit economics thanks to strategic investments that have also boosted topline growth. Whether these metrics meaningfully improve and continue will likely determine how Sea’s stock moves forward in the coming quarters.

SummaryOil prices could climb above $115-$120 should flows be disrupted, consultant saysSaudi crude shipments to Asia could face longer routesAsian refiners could face delays of around a month for Yanbu cargoes, Kpler analyst saysLONDON/HOUSTON, July 20 (Reuters) - A successful effort by Yemen's Houthis to shut the Bab el-Mandeb Strait would strike at one of the world's most important oil shipping routes, potentially triggering a fresh surge in crude prices, disrupting fuel supplies and adding to strains on the global economy.
Yemen's Iran-aligned Houthis on Monday declared a naval blockade against Saudi Arabia, its military spokesperson said. A closure of the Red Sea's southern gateway would remove a critical alternative route for the kingdom to the Strait of Hormuz and intensify fears of shortages.
The Reuters Power Up newsletter provides everything you need to know about the global energy industry. Sign up here.
"After oil prices moved higher on escalating U.S.-Iran tensions last week and the resulting slowdown in Hormuz transits, traders are watching for catalysts that would justify a further rally," said Richard Bronze of consultancy Energy Aspects.
"The Houthis resuming maritime attacks and effectively shutting the Bab el-Mandeb would certainly qualify."
Oil rose less than 1% after the Houthi statement to trade around $89 a barrel . Hopes of Iran and the United States resuming peace talks had earlier weighed on prices. Oil futures have peaked at $126 this year - below 2008's all-time high of $147.
ASIAN REFINERS WOULD FACE DELAYS IN GETTING CRUDEThe Bab el-Mandeb connects the Red Sea with the Gulf of Aden and is a key route for crude and fuel shipments moving between the Middle East, Europe and Asia. Since Houthi attacks on shipping began in 2023, many vessels have already rerouted around Africa, adding costs and delays to global trade.

A full closure would have the biggest immediate impact on Saudi crude exports from the Red Sea port of Yanbu. Matt Smith, commodity research director at Kpler, said Asian refiners receiving those barrels could face delays of around a month as tankers are forced to sail around the Cape of Good Hope.
"The impact is going to be massive in the first month," Smith said. "The biggest impact is going to be on Saudi flows."
Bronze estimated that more than 3 million barrels per day of Saudi crude currently shipped via the Red Sea to Asia could be forced onto much longer routes. The disruption would create logistical bottlenecks because fully loaded VLCCs cannot transit the Suez Canal while capacity on Egypt's SUMED pipeline, which links the Red Sea and Mediterranean Sea, is fixed.
Saudi Arabia has shipped on average over 4.5 million bpd of crude and fuel from Yanbu since April, about 70% of which went to Asia, Kpler data shows.
The impact would extend far beyond oil markets, said John Paisie, president of consultancy Stratas Advisors.
"If they really stop and severely hinder those barrels through the Red Sea, that is going to have an impact on oil prices as well as refined product prices," he said. "It undermines the whole global economy. At some point, you could have a global recession.”
The immediate oil market reaction would likely be another jump in crude prices as refiners compete for available supplies, analysts said. Paisie said oil prices could climb back above $115-$120 a barrel, while freight and insurance costs would also rise as ships take longer routes around Africa.
European diesel refining margins surged to a record above $65 a barrel on Friday and remained near that level on Monday. Supplies of diesel and jet fuel from Asia and the Middle East to Europe typically transit the Bab el-Mandeb.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average led the declines, falling 307 points, or 0.6%, to close at 51,839. The S&P 500 slipped 14 points, or 0.2%, to 7,443, while the Nasdaq managed to hold near the flatline, edging down just 12 points, or 0.05%, to 25,508.
Chipmakers, which helped fuel the market's recent advance, gave back much of their earlier gains as traders turned cautious before earnings from technology heavyweights later this week. Results from Tesla and Alphabet are expected to set the tone for the broader sector, with investors looking for signs that spending on artificial intelligence remains strong.
Oil prices also stayed in focus after briefly climbing above US$90 a barrel during the session before pulling back, adding another layer of uncertainty for markets already weighing the outlook for inflation and interest rates.
Attention now shifts to another busy day of corporate earnings on Tuesday, with reports due before the opening bell from industrial giant 3M, automaker General Motors, financial services firm Charles Schwab and oilfield services company Halliburton.

"A decisive move back above 7,578 would put the 7,600 milestone, the closing high of 7,610, and the intraday high of 7,621 back into focus."
12:10pm: Fresh attacks rattle markets Further US strikes against Iran are keeping markets on edge, according to Chris Beauchamp, Chief Market Analyst at online trading and investing platform IG.
“The tone for the week has already been set as the US and Iran continue to trade strikes. And now a second waterway closure looms to cause further problems for global markets," Beauchamp commented.
"While some hints of a return to negotiations helped to continue Friday’s late rally, this has begun to stumble as news of fresh attacks filters through. The next two weeks will be a tussle between conflict news and big-name earnings, and the tug of war between these two is likely to keep volatility elevated.”

WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers of securities of Intuit Inc. (NASDAQ: INTU) between August 22, 2025 and May 20, 2026, inclusive (the “Class Period”), of the important September 8, 2026 lead plaintiff deadline.
SO WHAT: If you purchased Intuit securities during the Class Period you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement.
WHAT TO DO NEXT: To join the Intuit class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/cases/intuit-inc/join or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email [email protected] for information on the class action. A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than September 8, 2026. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation.
WHY ROSEN LAW: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources, or any meaningful peer recognition. Many of these firms do not actually handle securities class actions, but are merely middlemen that refer clients or partner with law firms that actually litigate the cases. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm has achieved the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered billions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs’ Bar. Many of the firm’s attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers.
DETAILS OF THE CASE: According to the lawsuit, throughout the Class Period, defendants made materially false and misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) they had overstated Intuit’s competitive advantages and growth, as well as the overall strength and sustainability of its business model and operations; (2) in reality, Intuit was losing significant business in its tax-related business, particularly in its Turbo Tax business, as a result of, inter alia, increasing competitive and pricing pressures; (3) accordingly, Intuit’s previously issued full year (“FY”) 2026 TurboTax revenue growth guidance was unreliable and/or unrealistic; and (4) as a result, defendants’ public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.
To join the Intuit class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/cases/intuit-inc/join or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email [email protected] for information on the class action.
No Class Has Been Certified. Until a class is certified, you are not represented by counsel unless you retain one. You may select counsel of your choice. You may also remain an absent class member and do nothing at this point. An investor’s ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff.

South Korea’s decision to fine American-owned eCommerce firm Coupang is straining relations between the two countries, Reuters reported Friday (July 20).
South Korea said the fine was imposed over a data leak, but American lawmakers said the move raises questions about whether the country is treating U.S. companies fairly, according to the report.
The fine of 625 billion won (about $422 million) followed Coupang’s November 2025 data leak, per the report.
The dispute over the fine has become serious enough that South Korea’s ambassador to the U.S. returned to Seoul to discuss it with officials in President Lee Jae Myung’s administration, the report said.
The ambassador, Kang Kyung-wha, told local media, per the report: “The issue is dragging on much longer than I expected.”
A lawmaker who is a member of South Korea’s ruling Democratic Party, Park Sun-won, said in the report that the fine imposed on Coupang was for the data leak and that the fine “would be the same for any company.”
A U.S. State Department spokesperson said in the report that South Korea “should not impose disproportionate burdens on U.S. companies.”
Coupang told Reuters that the company hopes to find a constructive resolution.
It was reported in November 2025 that Coupang is considered the “Amazon of South Korea” and that the data breach exposed personal information of the company’s entire customer base. The exposed data was limited to customers’ names, email addresses, phone numbers, shipping addresses and some order histories.
In December 2025, it was reported that an investor class action lawsuit filed in California alleged that Coupang violated securities laws after the data breach by misleading investors about its data security practices and failing to disclose the breach in a timely manner.
Coupang announced in December 2025 that the perpetrator of the data breach, a former Coupang employees, retained data from only 3,000 accounts, did not transfer the data to others, and later deleted the data when news outlets began reporting the incident.
Days later, on Dec. 29, Coupang issued an apology from the company’s interim CEO and said it would begin offering vouchers worth up to 55,000 won ($38) to each of the 33.7 million customers affected by the cybersecurity incident.
In January, it was reported that two Coupang investors called on the U.S. government to investigate South Korea’s handling of the incident and said the U.S. could also impose trade remedies in response to what they said was discriminatory treatment of Coupang.
When South Korea’s Personal Information Protection Commission levied the roughly $412 million fine on Coupang in June, it was reported that the fine was the largest ever imposed for a privacy violation in South Korea.

Jumpstart your morning with the latest legal news delivered straight to your inbox from The Daily Docket newsletter. Sign up here.
The Dublin, Ohio based company said the acquisitions would expand its at-Home Solutions business and build on its earlier purchase of Advanced Diabetes Supply.
AdaptHealth's Diabetes Health business provides devices such as continuous glucose monitors and insulin pumps, along with related services for people with diabetes.
The deal broadens Cardinal Health's reach in diabetes care by adding AdaptHealth's direct-to-patient platform for supplies and support services, and enhances its urology business with the addition of Strive Medical.
Cardinal Health said the deals are expected to add to its adjusted earnings per share in the first 12 months after closing.
Leerink Partners analyst Michael Cherny said the acquisitions were logical, strategic tuck-ins for Cardinal Health, though he noted the diabetes business would need operational improvements to restore growth and profitability. Cherny said Cardinal's scale should help it execute that turnaround.
AdaptHealth separately said Cardinal Health would pay $235 million in cash for the diabetes unit.

Why: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers of securities of Lucid Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: LCID) between February 25, 2026 and April 13, 2026, inclusive (the "Class Period"), of the important July 28, 2026 lead plaintiff deadline.
SO WHAT: If you purchased Lucid securities during the Class Period you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement.
WHAT TO DO NEXT: To join the Lucid class action, go to https://www.rosenlegal.com/cases/lucid-group-inc-2026/join or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email [email protected] for information on the class action. A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than July 28, 2026. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation.
WHY ROSEN LAW: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources, or any meaningful peer recognition. Many of these firms do not actually litigate securities class actions, but are merely middlemen that refer clients or partner with law firms that actually litigate the cases. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm has achieved the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered billions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs' Bar. Many of the firm's attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers.
DETAILS OF THE CASE: According to the lawsuit, throughout the Class Period, defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) a supplier quality issue had significantly disrupted deliveries of the Lucid Gravity; (2) the foregoing was likely to, and did, have a material negative impact on Lucid's business and financial results; (3) accordingly, the defendants had overstated the purported enhancements to Lucid's manufacturing and delivery capabilities and overall operations; and (4) as a result, defendants' public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.

No Class Has Been Certified. Until a class is certified, you are not represented by counsel unless you retain one. You may select counsel of your choice. You may also remain an absent class member and do nothing at this point. An investor's ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff.

The Trump family has refiled its debanking lawsuit against Capital One after a judge gave them a July deadline to submit a new complaint, reviving accusations that the bank closed their accounts for political reasons.
On Friday, the last day to refile a complaint, Eric Trump submitted a new lawsuit on behalf of The Donald J. Trump Revocable Trust – alleging Capital One abruptly terminated hundreds of accounts belonging to entities affiliated with the president after the Jan. 6, 2021 attacks on the Capitol.
“Capital One improperly and deliberately closed those accounts because the political environment in January 2021 made it expedient to do so,” said the new complaint.
President Trump’s family trust is suing Capital One for allegedly debanking their accounts for political reasons. Getty Images While the original complaint repeatedly accused Capital One of “woke” debanking, the new complaint nixed the epithet.
It noted that members of Congress across the political aisle have taken aim at debanking, specifically nodding to far-left Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.).
In March 2025, the Trump family sued Capital One for allegedly debanking hundreds of accounts in 2021 that were tied to the president’s family members and held millions of dollars.
The original lawsuit claimed Capital One terminated the accounts due to “woke” beliefs that “it needed to distance itself from President Trump and his conservative political views.”
“I can’t tell you how hard it is to change more than 300 bank accounts – and for no reason whatsoever,” Eric Trump told Fox News Digital at the time. “These were hotels and golf courses, residential buildings and commercial buildings, retail outlets and skating rinks and parking garages.
“There was no political affiliation,” he added. “The only common denominator was that they wore the Trump name.”
Sen. Elizabeth Warren (above) has grilled Eric Trump for answers on the Capital One litigation. AP Photo/Jose Luis Magana Capital One has denied claims it shuttered Trump-linked accounts due to political motivations.
The company did not immediately respond to The Post’s request for comment Monday.
Earlier this year, US District Judge Roy Altman granted Capital One’s request to dismiss the “deficient” lawsuit, which he said lacked specific details, but granted the Trump family a July 2, 2026, deadline to re-file the complaint. He later extended the deadline to July 17.
For her part, Warren has called out President Trump for nominating Capital One exec Brian Johnson to run the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau while his family pursues litigation against the same bank.
In a letter sent to Eric Trump earlier this month, exclusively obtained by The Post, Warren pressed for answers on whether the family would re-file the complaint and for clarification on its issues with the bank.
“In recent months, your father’s opinion has been very important to my Republican colleagues,” the lefty pol wrote to Eric, who runs The Trump Organization with brother Don Jr.
Capital One has denied claims it shuttered Trump-linked accounts due to political motivations. Corbis via Getty Images “Given the Trump family’s allegations against Capital One and the role the CFPB would play in addressing concerns about debanking, it would be helpful for the Committee to understand your views on Capital One as it considers Mr. Johnson’s nomination.”
Johnson was scheduled to appear before the Senate Banking Committee for his confirmation hearing Thursday. Warren is the top Dem on the committee.
The CFPB – which Warren initially proposed creating in 2007 – has seen severe cuts under the Trump administration.
As of the end of January, it had about 1,200 employees – down roughly 30% from before Trump took office.
Last year, White House budget chief Russ Vought slammed the CFPB as a “woke & weaponized agency.”

Why: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers of purchasers of securities of Hub Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: HUBG) between April 28, 2023 and May 11, 2026, inclusive (the "Class Period"), of the important August 28, 2026 lead plaintiff deadline.
So what: If you purchased Hub Group securities during the Class Period you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement.
What to do next: To join the Hub Group class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/cases/hub-group-inc/join or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email [email protected] for information on the class action. A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than August 28, 2026. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation.
Why Rosen Law: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources, or any meaningful peer recognition. Many of these firms do not actually handle securities class actions, but are merely middlemen that refer clients or partner with law firms that actually litigate the cases. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm has achieved the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered billions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs' Bar. Many of the firm's attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers.
Details of the case: According to the lawsuit, throughout the Class Period, defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that Hub Group's financial statements prepared for the periods from Q1 2023 to Q4 2024, including annual reports for 2023 and 2024, contained material misstatements—caused by the premature and incorrect recognition of certain transactions—concerning, inter alia, Hub Group's operating revenue, operating income, revenue recognition, effectiveness of internal controls and procedures, and drivers of financial results and growth. In addition, Hub Group's financial statements prepared for the periods from Q1 2025 to Q3 2025 contained material misstatements—caused by the understatement of purchased transportation costs and accounts payable —concerning, inter alia, Hub Group's operating expenses, purchased transportation and warehousing expenses, operating income, effectiveness of internal disclosure controls and procedures, and drivers of financial results and growth. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.

No Class Has Been Certified. Until a class is certified, you are not represented by counsel unless you retain one. You may select counsel of your choice. You may also remain an absent class member and do nothing at this point. An investor's ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff.

CRYSTAL LAKE, Ill.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--AptarGroup, Inc. (NYSE:ATR), a global leader in drug delivery, dosing and protection technologies, and consumer product dispensing, announces the first commercial launch of its innovative auto-loading, dosing dropper technology called NeoDropper Autoload. Aptar’s technology is featured on Dermalogica’s FutureCode Booster skincare product. Designed for prestige skincare and dermocosmetic brands, this next-generation dropper packaging is intended to address consumer needs around dosage control, convenience and clean usage by supporting precision dispensing and user experience.
“We are advancing dropper and dosing packaging innovation to address evolving market needs and shape the future of precision dispensing for forward-thinking skincare brands."
Share Aptar’s NeoDropper Autoload reinvents the dropper experience by combining a twist-and-push dispensing mechanism and auto-loading dropper cap which automatically loads the applicator with consistent dose after each use. The unique, short applicator design is intended to prevent breakage while improving hygiene and dosage control. The dip tube inside the bottle is designed to allow consumers to use the formula until the last drop and help minimize formula waste.
“We are advancing dropper and dosing packaging innovation to address evolving market needs and shape the future of precision dispensing for forward-thinking skincare brands,” said Xavier Joseph, Vice President, Global Marketing and Innovation, Aptar Beauty.
Clinical skincare brands continue to gain traction in the U.S. beauty market* due to consumers seeking clinically validated products. This is why beauty brands are increasingly turning to advanced dispensing technologies to preserve formulas, which are incorporating potent ingredients and actives that require protection and dosage accuracy.
NeoDropper Autoload intends to address this market shift through a next-generation dropper technology engineered to enhance formula integrity, hygiene and dispensing precision to minimize product loss.
Professional-grade skincare brand, Dermalogica, selected NeoDropper Autoload for the new FutureCode Booster serum, an advanced longevity treatment designed to reverse daily DNA-related damage and defend against visible skin aging.
According to Manuela DeForge, Packaging Engineer Manager at Dermalogica, “FutureCode Booster has been positively received by consumers, particularly for its dispensing performance, ease of use, and overall user experience. Feedback highlights the value of delivering a consistent dose in a controlled and hygienic manner, demonstrating how thoughtful packaging design can enhance both product performance and everyday usability.”
This launch marks the latest milestone in the longstanding collaboration between Dermalogica and Aptar, reflecting a shared ambition to promote product performance and consumer experience through packaging innovation. In 2022, Dermalogica became the first prestige skincare brand to feature Aptar’s fully recyclable mono-material polyethylene dispensing pump (when paired with a PE or PET bottle), called Future, thus advancing the product circularity of its cleansing range.

, /PRNewswire/ -- Mission Bancorp ("Mission" or the "Company") (OTC Pink: MSBC), a bank holding company and parent of Mission Bank (the "Bank"), reported unaudited net income available to common shareholders of $8.2 million, or $2.73 per diluted common share, for the second quarter of 2026, compared to net income available to common shareholders of $3.1 million, or $1.05 per diluted common share, for the second quarter of 2025, and net income available to common shareholders of $7.7 million, or $2.58 per diluted common share, for the linked quarter.
"We have seen another quarter of strong performance with results that have propelled us beyond the $2.0 billion asset mark," said Mission Bank President and CEO A.J. Antongiovanni. "We are reporting second quarter earnings of $8.2 million and annual loan and deposit growth of 12.9% and 7.6%, respectively. We have also generated 9.4% year-over-year growth in non-interest-bearing deposits, further proving the strength and efficacy of our relationship-driven business model and commitment to high-touch personal service. I would like to thank the dedicated team members who helped us reach this milestone. We have bolstered the overall strength of our balance sheet and are well positioned for the second half of the year."
Second Quarter 2026 Financial Highlights
Gross loans increased by $174.6 million, or 12.9%, to $1.53 billion as of June 30, 2026, compared to $1.36 billion as of June 30, 2025, and increased by $42.5 million, or 2.9%, compared to balances as of March 31, 2026. Total deposits increased by $123.0 million, or 7.6%, to $1.75 billion as of June 30, 2026, compared to $1.63 billion a year earlier, and increased by $83.2 million, or 5.0%, from $1.67 billion as of March 31, 2026. Non-interest-bearing deposits were $695.1 million and represent 39.7% of total deposits as of June 30, 2026. The allowance for credit losses ("ACL") as a percentage of gross loans rose from 1.35% as of March 31, 2026, to 1.37% as of June 30, 2026. Credit quality remains strong with nonaccrual loans representing 0.02% of total gross loans as of June 30, 2026, up from 0.01% as of March 31, 2026. The Community Bank Leverage Ratio for the Bank as of June 30, 2026, was 12.22%, compared to 11.43% as of June 30, 2025. Net Income Available to Common Shareholders
Net income available to common shareholders for the second quarter of 2026 was $8.2 million, or $2.73 per diluted common share, compared with $7.7 million, or $2.58 per diluted common share, for the linked quarter ended March 31, 2026. Net income available to common shareholders was $3.1 million, or $1.05 per diluted common share, for the second quarter of 2025. Net income available to common shareholders increased $0.6 million, or 7.2%, compared to the linked quarter, and increased by $5.1 million, or 161.8%, compared to the same prior year period.
Notable variances compared to the linked quarter include an increase in net interest income and a decrease in non-interest expense, which were partially offset by an increase in the provision for income taxes. Compared to the second quarter of 2025, an increase in net interest income and decrease in non-interest expense, were partially offset by an increase in the provision for income taxes.
Net Interest Income
Net interest income was $20.4 million, or 4.35%, of average earning assets ("net interest margin"), for the second quarter of 2026, compared with $18.1 million, or a net interest margin of 4.07%, for the same prior year period, and $19.8 million, or a net interest margin of 4.39%, for the quarter ended March 31, 2026.
Net interest income increased by $2.3 million, or 12.9%, compared to the same prior year period, primarily due to growth in the Company's loan portfolio coupled with relatively stable loan yields, and lower funding costs. Loan interest income and fee accretion increased by $3.1 million compared to the second quarter of 2025, partially offset by $1.2 million lower interest income on interest earning deposits in other banks and $0.4 million lower interest income on investment securities. Additionally, interest expense declined $0.8 million compared to the same prior year period, primarily due to lower deposit costs.
Net interest income increased by $0.7 million, or 3.4%, for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, compared to the linked quarter, primarily reflecting continued loan growth, higher average balances in interest earning deposits, and one additional day in the period, partially offset by higher average interest-bearing deposit balances while funding costs remained relatively stable. Interest income on loans rose $1.0 million, primarily driven by higher average balances and rates, and interest income on interest earning deposits in other banks rose $0.1 million, primarily due to higher average balances. Interest expense rose $0.4 million compared to the linked quarter, primarily due to higher average balances on interest-bearing deposits.
The net interest margin was 4.35% for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, compared to 4.07% for the same prior year period, and 4.39% for the linked quarter ended March 31, 2026. During the past year, the cost of interest-bearing liabilities declined 40 basis points, while a continued shift in earning-asset mix toward higher yielding loans offset lower yields on other earning assets, resulting in relatively stable earning asset yields and a 28 basis point year-over-year expansion in the quarterly net interest margin. The Federal Reserve has maintained a data-dependent approach to monetary policy following the 175 basis point reduction in the federal funds rate from its recent peak range. The lower rate environment has continued to support reduced funding costs, while sustained loan growth has helped maintain earning asset yields and net interest margin expansion.
The 4 basis point decrease in the net interest margin for the second quarter of 2026, compared to the linked quarter, primarily reflects a modest decrease in earning asset yields, combined with a modest increase in funding costs, primarily reflecting the repricing of subordinated debt following its transition to a floating-rate index. These impacts were partially offset by an improved non-interest-bearing demand deposit ratio.
The yield on loans increased 1 basis point to 6.40%, while the yield on interest earning deposits in other banks and investment securities decreased by 77 basis points to 3.69%, and 49 basis points to 3.49%, respectively, compared to the same prior year period. Additionally, our earning asset mix improved due to an increase in the average balances on loans of $195.0 million, or 14.9%, while the average balances on interest earning deposits in other banks decreased $84.3 million, or 39.5%, and average balances on investment securities decreased $10.8 million, or 4.37%. The cost of interest-bearing deposits decreased 41 basis points to 2.60%, while the average balances of interest-bearing deposits increased $35.4 million, or 3.48%. The cost of subordinated debentures increased 165 basis points to 6.32%, and average balances decreased $5.3 million, or 30.8%.
For the quarter ended June 30, 2026, the yield on loans and the yield on investment securities increased by 3 basis points to 6.40%, and 7 basis points to 3.49%, respectively, while the yield on interest bearing deposits in other banks decreased 1 basis point to 3.69%, compared to the linked quarter. Average balances on loans increased $39.4 million, or 2.68%, and average balances on interest earning deposits in other banks increased $25.5 million, or 24.6%, while average balances on investment securities decreased $5.5 million, or 2.29%. The cost of interest-bearing deposits increased 1 basis point to 2.60%, and average balances on interest-bearing deposits increased $37.3 million, or 3.67%. The cost of subordinated debentures increased 213 basis points to 6.32%, and average balances were relatively unchanged.
The cost of funds was 1.64% for the quarter ending June 30, 2026, a decrease of 26 basis points compared to 1.90%, for the same prior year period, and a 3 basis point increase compared to 1.61%, for the linked quarter ended March 31, 2026. The decrease in the Company's cost of funds over the last year is generally attributable to the lower short term rate environment, which has provided some relief in deposit cost pressures. The Bank has continued to grow its total deposit accounts through both new customer acquisition and the expansion of existing relationships over the past year. At the same time, some rate-sensitive clients have opted for higher yielding investment options.
The Company holds two pay-fixed, receive floating, interest rate swap contracts, with notional balances totaling $108 million, to hedge against rising rates on a portion of its fixed rate loan and investment securities portfolios. Combined, interest rate swap contracts incurred $0.1 million of interest expense for the second quarter of 2026, relatively unchanged compared to the linked quarter, and contributed $0.1 million of interest income for the second quarter of 2025.
Provision for Credit Losses
A $0.8 million provision for credit losses was recorded for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, compared to $0.7 million for the linked quarter, and $0.8 million for the same prior year period. The Company's quarterly credit loss provisions over the past year have been recorded primarily to account for loan growth and changes in macro-economic conditions, which impact the calculated ACL under the current expected credit loss ("CECL") model, rather than in response to changing conditions in the Company's loan portfolio, which has remained stable, demonstrating a low credit risk profile during the past twelve months.
Non-Interest Income
Non-interest income increased $0.1 million, or 4.4%, to $1.7 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, compared to $1.6 million for the linked quarter, and decreased $0.1 million, or 7.4%, compared to $1.8 million for the same prior year period. Compared to the linked quarter, increases in service charges, fees and other income and higher Farmer Mac referral and servicing fee income were partially offset by lower SBA servicing fees and gain on sale of loans. Compared to the same prior year period, the decline was primarily due to SBA servicing fees and gain on sale of loans.
Non-Interest Expense
Non-interest expense decreased by $0.1 million, or 1.3%, to $9.9 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, compared to $10.0 million for the linked quarter, and decreased by $4.8 million, or 32.6%, compared to $14.7 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2025.
The decrease in non-interest expense for the second quarter of 2026, compared to the linked quarter, was primarily due to a $0.3 million decline in salaries and benefits expense attributable to higher deferred salary loan origination costs and lower payroll taxes, compensation accruals, and benefits expenses, partially offset by higher base salary and other compensation expense. Additionally, a $0.1 million increase in professional services was driven by higher loan related legal and consulting services.
The decrease in non-interest expense for the second quarter of 2026 compared to the same prior year period was primarily due to a $5.1 million decline in other expense attributable to one-time, non-recurring items. Excluding the one-time, non-recurring items recognized during the second quarter of 2025, non-interest expense increased $0.3 million compared to the same prior year period, primarily reflecting a $0.6 million increase in salaries and benefits expense associated with new hire activity, including the North San Luis Obispo County team, net of terminations, together with higher base compensation, payroll taxes, bank owned life insurance accruals, and incentive compensation accruals. These increases were partially offset by a $0.4 million decline in professional services resulting from lower legal fees.
Operating Efficiency
The Company's operating efficiency ratio decreased to 44.8% for the second quarter of 2026, compared to 73.8% for the second quarter of 2025, and 46.9% for the linked quarter. Total non-interest expense as a percentage of average assets, another measure of the Company's efficiency, was 2.02% for the second quarter of 2026, compared to 3.15% for the second quarter of 2025, and 2.13% compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2026.
Income Taxes
Income tax expense was $3.2 million for the second quarter of 2026, compared to $1.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2025, and $3.0 million for the linked quarter ended March 31, 2026. The Company's effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2026 was 28.3%, compared to 29.7% for the same prior year period, and 27.9% for the quarter ended March 31, 2026.
Asset and Equity Returns
The return on average equity for the second quarter of 2026 was 14.1%, up from 6.28% for the same prior year period, and 13.8% for the linked quarter. The quarterly return on average assets for the second quarter of 2026 was 1.67%, up from 0.67% from the same prior year period, and 1.63% for the linked quarter.
The increase in the quarterly returns on both average equity and average assets for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, compared to the same prior year period, was primarily attributable to higher quarterly net income, reflecting the absence of one-time, non-recurring expenses recognized during the same prior year period. Compared to the same prior year period, average equity increased 16.7% and average assets increased 5.42%. The Company's capital accumulation rate over the past few years has outpaced its' earnings growth rate, resulting in declining equity returns.
The increase in quarterly returns on both average equity and average assets for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, compared to the linked quarter, is primarily attributable to higher quarterly net income, which outpaced growth in average equity and average assets.
Balance Sheet
Total assets increased by $155.8 million, or 8.4%, to $2.01 billion as of June 30, 2026, compared to June 30, 2025, and increased by $90.3 million, or 4.7%, compared to March 31, 2026. Cash and cash equivalents were nearly unchanged at $201.6 million as of June 30, 2026, compared to the same prior year period, and increased by $52.2 million, or 34.9%, compared to March 31, 2026.
The increase in the Company's cash position over the past quarter primarily reflects strong deposit growth, which exceeded continued robust loan growth.
Investment securities decreased by $18.4 million, or 7.3%, to $231.8 million as of June 30, 2026, compared to $250.2 million as of June 30, 2025, and decreased by $6.9 million, or 2.9%, compared to $238.7 million as of March 31, 2026. The decline in the investment securities portfolio over the past year primarily reflects normal repayment and amortization of the bond portfolio, net of a decline in unrealized losses on the investment securities portfolio attributable to market rate changes. During the year, the Company continued to utilize cash flows generated from its investment portfolio to support robust loan growth while maintaining a strong liquidity position. The decrease in the investment portfolio during the second quarter of 2026, compared to the linked quarter, reflected normal repayment and amortization of the bond portfolio and a rise in unrealized losses on the investment securities portfolio attributable to market rate changes during the quarter.
Loans increased by $174.6 million, or 12.9%, to $1.53 billion as of June 30, 2026, compared to June 30, 2025, and increased by $42.5 million, or 2.9%, compared to March 31, 2026. Loan growth during the last year reflected broad-based growth across nearly every loan category, offset by contraction in agricultural production and residential 1 to 4 family loans. Loan growth during the last quarter was concentrated in commercial real estate, commercial and industrial, and construction and land development, with a notable contraction in residential 1 to 4 family loans.
Total deposits increased by $123.0 million, or 7.6%, to $1.75 billion as of June 30, 2026, from $1.63 billion as of June 30, 2025, and increased by $83.2 million, or 5.0%, compared to March 31, 2026. Non-interest-bearing deposits increased by $59.6 million, or 9.4%, during the last year, and increased by $48.1 million, or 7.4%, since March 31, 2026. The increase in deposits over the past year reflects an increase in average balances among existing customers, a declining account closure ratio, and stable new account openings. Non-interest-bearing deposits represented 39.7% of total deposits on June 30, 2026.
Total shareholders' equity was $237.2 million as of June 30, 2026, an increase of $37.8 million, or 19.0%, compared to June 30, 2025, and an increase of $8.3 million, or 3.6%, compared to March 31, 2026, primarily due to quarterly earnings, net of changes in accumulated other comprehensive loss. The accumulated other comprehensive loss component of equity decreased by $4.9 million during the year, primarily reflecting a $4.3 million decline in unrealized losses on the investment securities portfolio. The accumulated other comprehensive loss component of equity increased by $0.2 million during the quarter due to a rise in the unrealized losses on the investment securities portfolio, partially offset by a decline in the unrealized losses on the interest rate swap contracts.
Allowance for Credit Losses and Credit Quality
The ACL as a percentage of gross loans increased to 1.37% as of June 30, 2026, from 1.35% as of March 31, 2026, and decreased from 1.50% as of June 30, 2025. The ACL as a percentage of gross loans decreased during the last year, due to charge-offs on loans that previously carried specific reserves on individually analyzed loans, while the overall credit quality of the loan portfolio has remained stable.
Nonperforming assets were $0.3 million as of June 30, 2026, up from $0.1 million as of March 31, 2026, and down from $1.7 million as of June 30, 2025. Nonperforming assets as a percentage of total assets were 0.02% as of June 30, 2026, up from 0.01% as of March 31, 2026, and down from 0.09% as of June 30, 2025.
Regulatory Capital
The Bank's reported regulatory capital ratio exceeded the ratio generally required to be considered a "well capitalized" financial institution for regulatory purposes. The Community Bank Leverage Ratio for the Bank was 12.22%, as of June 30, 2026, compared with the requirement of 9.00% to generally be considered a "well capitalized" financial institution for regulatory purposes. The Bank's Community Bank Leverage ratio has increased by 79 and 3 basis points, from 11.43% and 12.19%, as of the periods ended June 30, 2025, and March 31, 2026, respectively. During the past year, earnings growth outpaced the combined impact of growth in average assets and dividends paid by the Bank to the Company, resulting in an increase in the Bank's Community Bank Leverage ratio compared to the prior year.
Stock Repurchase Program
On April 27, 2026, the Company announced the extension of its plan Rule 10b5-1 (the "2022 10b5-1 Plan") to facilitate the repurchase of its common stock. Pursuant to the 2022 10b5-1 Plan, a maximum of $4.95 million of the Company's common stock may be repurchased by the Company. The previous extension under the Plan was set to expire on April 23, 2026, and the Company extended the Plan for an additional six months through October 22, 2026. The Company may suspend or discontinue the Plan at any time. Hilltop Securities, Inc. is acting as the Company's agent to purchase its shares on pre-arranged terms pursuant to the 2022 10b5-1 Plan.
During the second quarter of 2026 the Company repurchased 3,000 shares under the 2022 10b5-1 Plan at an average price of $102.50. Since Plan inception the Company has repurchased 37,576 shares at an average price of $93.10.
