Market Signal Briefing

The company stands to benefit from the multidecade buildout of nuclear infrastructure.

Energy demand is expected to surge in the coming years, driven by artificial intelligence data centers and the electrification and expansion of our manufacturing sectors.

Under President Donald Trump, along with Department of Energy (DOE) Secretary Chris Wright, the U.S. is taking steps to make nuclear energy a national priority. The administration has set a target to expand nuclear capacity from 100 GW to 400 GW by 2050. The DOE recently announced a massive $2.7 billion investment to rebuild the domestic uranium enrichment industry.

The nuclear revival marks a notable shift in tone from the previous decade, when nuclear power fell out of favor following the Fukushima meltdown. Many view nuclear power as a crucial source to meet growing energy demands while reducing carbon emissions and increasing the use of cleaner-burning fuels.

This presents an exceptional opportunity for Cameco (CCJ +3.19%), a uranium-mining leader actively engaged across the nuclear sector. Here's why it could be a smart investment today.

Cameco is a major supplier of uranium Cameco is a dominant force in the nuclear industry and the second-largest uranium producer, behind only Kazatomprom in uranium-rich Kazakhstan. Based in Canada, Cameco is a key provider to Western markets seeking to reduce their dependence on Russian and Kazakh uranium, and it is well positioned as utilities prioritize geopolitical stability over low-cost imports.

The company has investments in some of the world's largest, high-grade uranium mines, including McArthur River and Cigar Lake, located in the Athabasca Basin in northern Saskatchewan. Additionally, it includes Key Lake Mill, the largest uranium mill that processed high-grade ore from the McArthur River mine. Finally, it holds a 40% stake in joint venture Inkai, a low-cost, in-situ recovery operation in Kazakhstan.

Cameco primarily sells uranium under long-term contracts to ensure earnings stability, using a mix of base-escalated prices and market-related mechanisms with floors and ceilings to capture upside when uranium prices rise. To ensure delivery, the company occasionally purchases uranium on the spot market or from its joint venture partner.

Cameco's stake in Westinghouse gives it massive upside potential Cameco has commitments to deliver an average of about 28 million pounds per year from 2025 through 2029. It is also expected to benefit from rising uranium prices in the coming years, as roughly 60% to 70% of its contracts are market-linked to the spot uranium price.

While rising uranium prices would bode well for Cameco, the company has another important growth driver that offers upside beyond spot uranium prices in the nuclear power buildout. That's because it owns a 49% stake in Westinghouse (Brookfield Renewable Partners owns the remainder), giving it exposure across the nuclear value chain.

Westinghouse is a leader in nuclear technology, providing design and engineering services for approximately half of the world's operating nuclear plants. Its AP1000 is a Generation III+ reactor, the only Gen III+ reactor to use fully passive safety systems (relying on gravity and natural circulation rather than active pumps), and has received U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) certification.

In addition, the AP1000 operates on standard Low-Enriched Uranium (LEU), and the infrastructure for LEU already exists in the U.S. and among its allies. This contrasts with High-Assay Low-Enriched Uranium (HALEU), the fuel for next-generation reactors, which is currently primarily available from Russia. By focusing on the AP1000, the U.S. can scale up nuclear power immediately without waiting a decade to build a domestic HALEU enrichment industry.

In October, Cameco, Brookfield, and Westinghouse entered into an $80 billion agreement with the U.S. government to address the rapidly growing energy demand and accelerate the nuclear buildout. As part of this deal, the parties aim to construct at least eight new reactors, including Westinghouse's large-scale AP1000 and its small modular reactor (SMR), the AP300.

As part of this agreement, the U.S. government has a profit-sharing mechanism. Once active, the U.S. government is entitled to 20% of all cash distributions by Westinghouse that exceed a cumulative total of $17.5 billion.

A top uranium stock with long-term upside Cameco stock trades at a high forward price-to-earnings ratio of 72.4 times its projected 2026 earnings, a steep valuation that may make investors hesitant to invest. However, the company has significant upside from here, with analysts projecting earnings-per-share growth of 48% this year and another 33% in 2027.

As the world's second-largest producer and the largest in the Western world, and with its significant stake in Westinghouse, Cameco is in a prime position for the nuclear renaissance. If you're bullish on the long-term future of nuclear energy and its buildout, Cameco is one of the top stocks you can buy today to capitalize on that growth.

There are a handful of stocks that are still cheaper than the broader market and experiencing strong growth.

Finding bargains when the stock market is near an all-time high isn't as easy as when the market is at its lows. But there are still plenty of stocks that I would consider bargain buys with strong upside. I think a bull run could occur any day for these three stocks, making them great ones to buy now.

The three that I have on my watch list are Meta Platforms (META 0.04%), Adobe (ADBE 2.57%), and The Trade Desk (TTD 2.07%). Each is in bargain territory and can be bought with confidence.

Meta Platforms Meta Platforms, formerly known as Facebook, changed its name a few years ago to signal to investors that it was focusing on the metaverse, although that business never developed as it had hoped. All the while, its social media business was still going strong and paying for its huge metaverse investments.

That draws parallels with what Meta is doing with artificial intelligence (AI) right now. Management is using nearly all of its cash flow to fund data centers so it can continue to train and improve its AI models. But unlike the metaverse disappointment, investors are already starting to see some payoffs, with Meta reporting more time spent on the platform by users and increased ad conversions due to some generative AI technology powering the ads.

Wall Street seems to be focused only on how much management is spending on AI, which may be a valid concern. However, thanks to the pessimism, the stock is now valued at a fairly cheap forward-earnings price tag, although it may not be as cheap as the others on this list.

META PE Ratio (Forward), data by YCharts; PE = price to earnings.

At 21 times forward earnings, it's far cheaper than most of its big tech peers that trade for around 30 times forward earnings -- essentially a 30% discount. Furthermore, the S&P 500 trades for 22.4 times forward earnings, so it's cheaper than the broader market as well. This makes Meta an intriguing stock to buy on the dip, because it could offer monster returns if it reaches a valuation similar to its peers.

Adobe Everyone is assuming that Adobe's business model is going to be replaced by generative AI. Image generation is improving, and some models generate images indistinguishable from real ones. The thought is that this could put many graphics designers out of business and harm the revenue stream of the Adobe software that they use.

However, this thesis hasn't panned out. Adobe has openly embraced generative AI tools and has integrated them into its products to bolster designers' capabilities. And its revenue growth hasn't faltered from the low double-digit range since the AI race kicked off in 2023.

ADBE Revenue (Quarterly YoY Growth), data by YCharts; YoY = year over year.

The market hasn't even considered what happens if Adobe is fine, and its stock has sold off to a dirt-cheap valuation as a result. Adobe is a true bargain right now. And if it can continue posting double-digit revenue growth, it's primed for a bull run.

ADBE PE Ratio (Forward), data by YCharts.

The Trade Desk Lastly, The Trade Desk was among the worst-performing stocks in the S&P 500 during 2025. However, I think it has what it takes to bounce back during 2026.

The Trade Desk operates a buy-side ad platform, which helps businesses and services that want to advertise find the most opportune place on the internet. Its revenue growth has slowed from previous levels, but it still had a strong 18% gain during the third quarter.

Yet the stock trades at less than 18 times earnings -- far cheaper than the S&P 500. If The Trade Desk can deliver high double-digit growth throughout 2026 at a cheaper premium to the market, I think it could easily outperform most stocks and go on a bull run.

With a market cap of $4.5 trillion, Nvidia (NVDA 0.29%) is the largest company in the world. And it got to this point by offering excellent products that outperformed the competition in every vertical it entered, from video game graphics to cryptocurrency mining to generative artificial intelligence (AI).

But while AI has been Nvidia's latest big market, investors shouldn't expect that gravy train to last forever, as it faces increasing competition in the market for cutting-edge computing hardware. Over the next 10 years, Nvidia's future could depend on how well it capitalizes on the next potential technology megatrends when the current boom fades.

Generative AI is still booming Generative AI has totally transformed Nvidia's business, and it continues to drive its growth. In the third quarter, its revenue jumped 62% year over year to $57 billion, largely due to strength in the company's data center segment, where it sells its most advanced graphics processing unit (GPU) systems for running and training AI models alongside data processing units and various types of networking hardware. The good news for investors is that the near-term outlook remains bright as clients continue to scramble for these products.

Analysts at Goldman Sachs expect major AI and cloud computing companies to spend more than $500 billion on data center hardware in 2026 alone. And Nvidia is positioned to capture a large portion of this spending because it has created an economic moat based not only on the power of its chips but also its associated programming interface, CUDA, which allows developers to get the most out of their Nvidia hardware.

The future might be more challenging Nvidia's data center segment represented around 90% of the company's third-quarter revenue, which is an alarming lack of diversification. It's generally not a good idea for a company to put all its eggs in one basket, because that leaves it with little cushion against issues that might arise with that core business. To be fair, there are absolutely no signs that Nvidia's data center business is under threat in the near term. But over the next 10 years, that could easily change.

For starters, Nvidia's clients represent some of the most sophisticated tech companies on the planet. Behemoths like Alphabet, Amazon, and Microsoft won't sit idly by while Nvidia sells them pricey GPUs at gross margins of over 70%. These companies have plenty of incentives to develop chips to replace Nvidia's wares in their own operations, and also to attempt to compete with it in the chip market.

Image source: Getty Images.

The CUDA platform does give Nvidia a moat in some respects, as so much foundational AI code was written on CUDA, and CUDA code only runs on Nvidia chips. 

But Nvidia has no true competitive advantage in chip production. It's a fabless semiconductor company, and most of its hardware is made by Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing. Nothing stops its largest customers from designing custom chips of their own (perhaps in conjunction with Broadcom) and contracting with a foundry like TSMC to manufacture them. This strategy is picking up steam. In June, ChatGPT creator OpenAI turned to Alphabet's TPU chips to power some of its data centers. ChatGPT rival Anthropic uses a mix of hardware provided by Nvidia, Google, Amazon, and other providers.

How does Nvidia win over the next 10 years? Nvidia's long-term success may depend on its ability to pivot to new technologies if the generative AI boom runs out of steam or if the AI accelerator market becomes more competitive. With a price-to-earnings (P/E) multiple of just 24, Nvidia stock is cheaper than the Nasdaq-100's average of 26. That relative discount seems to reflect the market's concern about its overreliance on the AI data center business.

Nvidia might have to make some changes to regain a premium valuation and reignite its rally. It is too early to know what comes next, but self-driving cars, robotics, and quantum computing could become make-or-break opportunities for the chipmaker over the next decade. Investors may want to wait for more information before opening a new position in Nvidia.

Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP Securities Litigation Partner James (Josh) Wilson Encourages Investors Who Suffered Losses In Blue Owl To Contact Him Directly To Discuss Their Options

If you purchased or acquired securities in Blue Owl between February 6, 2025 and November 16, 2025 and would like to discuss your legal rights, call Faruqi & Faruqi partner Josh Wilson directly at 877-247-4292 or 212-983-9330 (Ext. 1310).

, /PRNewswire/ -- Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP, a leading national securities law firm, is investigating potential claims against Blue Owl Capital Inc. ("Blue Owl" or the "Company") (NYSE: OWL) and reminds investors of the February 2, 2026 deadline to seek the role of lead plaintiff in a federal securities class action that has been filed against the Company.

James (Josh) Wilson, Faruqi & Faruqi Senior Partner (PRNewsfoto/Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP) Faruqi & Faruqi is a leading national securities law firm with offices in New York, Pennsylvania, California and Georgia. The firm has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors since its founding in 1995. See www.faruqilaw.com.

As detailed below, the complaint alleges that the Company and its executives violated federal securities laws by making false and/or misleading statements and/or failing to disclose that: (1) that Blue Owl was experiencing a meaningful pressure on its asset base from BDC redemptions; (2) that, as a result, the Company was facing undisclosed liquidity issues; (3) that, as a result, the Company would be likely to limit or halt redemptions of certain BDCs; and (4) that, as a result of the foregoing, Defendants' positive statements about the Company's business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis.

On November 16, 2025, the Financial Times published an article describing how "Blue Owl has blocked redemptions in one of its earliest private credit funds as it merges with a larger vehicle overseen by the asset manager in a deal that could leave investors with large losses."

According to the report, Blue Owl Capital Corporation II investors are restricted from pulling money from the fund until a recently announced merger with Blue Owl Capital Corporation closes in early 2026.

The article further explains how, once the merger occurs, investors in Blue Owl Capital Corporation II will permanently lose the ability to redeem cash at the fund's Net Asset Value (NAV). Instead, investors will trade their shares in for the publicly traded Blue Owl Capital Corporation shares, which are currently trading approximately 20% under the fund's NAV.

On this news, Blue Owl's stock price fell $0.85, or 5.8%, to close at $13.77 per share on November 17, 2025, thereby injuring investors.

The court-appointed lead plaintiff is the investor with the largest financial interest in the relief sought by the class who is adequate and typical of class members who directs and oversees the litigation on behalf of the putative class. Any member of the putative class may move the Court to serve as lead plaintiff through counsel of their choice, or may choose to do nothing and remain an absent class member. Your ability to share in any recovery is not affected by the decision to serve as a lead plaintiff or not. 

Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP also encourages anyone with information regarding Blue Owl's conduct to contact the firm, including whistleblowers, former employees, shareholders and others.

Fee structure, asset scale, and risk profiles set these two precious metals ETFs apart for investors weighing silver versus platinum.

The Abrdn Physical Silver Shares ETF (SIVR 2.78%) charges less and manages more assets, while the Abrdn Physical Platinum Shares ETF (PPLT 4.30%) has seen smaller drawdowns over the past five years.

Both SIVR and PPLT are physically backed precious metals funds offered by Aberdeen Investments, designed to give investors simple exposure to silver or platinum. This comparison highlights differences in cost, risk, liquidity, and returns for those weighing silver versus platinum in their portfolios.

SIVR is more affordable with an expense ratio of 0.30%, compared to PPLT’s 0.60%. That cost difference could appeal to long-term investors looking to minimize fees, especially given SIVR’s higher assets under management.

PPLT does not report any unique structural quirks or tracking index.

SIVR, similarly, tracks the price of physical silver and does not report sector exposure or individual holdings, functioning as a straightforward play on silver prices.

What this means for investorsSIVR and PPLT track the spot prices of physical silver and platinum, respectively, by holding metal bars in secure vaults. Over the past year, both ETFs crushed the S&P 500's roughly 20% gain, but silver's return significantly outpaced platinum's surge. Silver benefits from dual demand as both an investment asset and a critical industrial metal used heavily in solar panels and electronics. Platinum, one of earth's rarest metals, saw its rally driven by supply constraints and automotive demand, among other factors.

PPLT charges a 0.60% expense ratio, double SIVR's 0.30% fee, reflecting platinum's higher storage and handling costs due to its extreme rarity. Neither fund pays dividends since they hold physical metal in secure vaults rather than generating income. Both funds are substantially smaller than their gold counterparts, with SIVR holding roughly $5.4 billion in assets compared to PPLT's $2.8 billion.

Precious metals ETFs make sense if you're looking to diversify beyond stocks and bonds or hedge against inflation and currency concerns, though you should be prepared for significant volatility. If you want exposure to the precious metal with the broadest industrial applications and more established market liquidity, silver's manufacturing demand and renewable energy tailwinds make SIVR an accessible choice. But if you're betting on supply scarcity and automotive demand continuing to support prices for one of the planet's rarest elements, platinum's structural deficits and smaller market make PPLT a compelling if more volatile option.

Nextech3D.ai CEO Evan Gappelberg talked with Proactive about the rapid expansion of KraftyLab’s in-person events platform and how it is shaping the company’s revenue outlook for 2026.

Nextech3D.AI Chief Executive Officer Evan Gappelberg joined Proactive to discuss the company’s latest update following the recent acquisition of KraftyLab.

Gappelberg explained that just one week after closing the deal, the company has already launched in-person events across 20 major US cities, responding directly to demand from large corporate clients including Google, Netflix, Meta and Spotify.

Proactive: Welcome back inside our Proactive newsroom. Joining me now is Evan Gappelberg, CEO of Nextech3D.AI. Evan, it’s great to see you again.

Evan Gappelberg: I’m good. Great to be back.

You recently acquired KraftyLab and now the platform is expanding with more integrations. Can you give us an update?

I’m super excited. We closed the deal just a week ago and have already launched in 20 major cities. Krafty has been asked by large corporate accounts like Google, Netflix, Meta and Spotify to host in-person events, and now we’re delivering that. This creates a direct revenue driver for 2026.

Each event generates thousands of dollars in revenue. As we add more events, we generate more revenue. It’s really that simple.

These events range from simple activities to engagement sessions. Why are they important?

Engagement is critical for large companies. They have multimillion-dollar budgets dedicated to it. Krafty closes 30 to 40 new contracts every month and runs hundreds of events annually. We’re now rolling out an enterprise solution where average order values rise to $50,000 or $100,000 through subscription-style models.

There was also mention of platform transformation and AI.

We’re an AI-first event tech company. Our proprietary AI replaces messy manual scheduling and integrates directly with calendars like Google and Teams. Customers can book events in seconds, across time zones. This automation saves time and money and makes Nextech and KraftyLab indispensable for global teams.

As detailed below, the complaint alleges that the Company and its executives violated federal securities laws by making false and/or misleading statements and/or failing to disclose that: (1) SLM was experiencing a significant increase in early stage delinquencies; (2) accordingly, Defendants overstated the effectiveness of SLM's loss mitigation and/or loan modification programs, as well as the overall stability of the Company's PEL delinquency rates; and (3) as a result, Defendants' public statements made a materially false and misleading impression regarding SLM's business, operations, and prospects at all relevant times.

On August 14, 2025, investment bank TD Cowen issued a report addressing SLM, flagging that, "overall, July [2025] delinquencies were up 49 bp m/m, higher (worse)than the seasonal (+10 bps) performance for July, driven by a 45 bps increase in early stage delinquencies." Notably, TD Cowen's findings directly contradicted Defendant Graham's assurances-made late in the month of July 2025-that Defendants were observing delinquency rates that "really are following the normal seasonal trends we would expect in the business."

Following TD Cowen's report, SLM's stock price fell $2.67 per share, or 8.09%, to close at $30.32 per share on August 15, 2025.

The firm has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors since its founding in 1995. See www.faruqilaw.com.

As detailed below, the complaint alleges that the Company and its executives violated federal securities laws by making false and/or misleading statements and/or failing to disclose that among other things, confidence in the Company's mass-production of its fourth-generation SEALMINER (A4) rigs using its SEAL04 ASIC (application-specific integrated circuit) chip technology was expected to have a chip energy efficiency of as low as 5J/TH. Defendants provided these positive statements to investors while, at the same time, disseminating false and materially misleading statements and/or concealing material adverse facts concerning the true state of Bitdeer's SEALMINER A4 project. Specifically, Defendants failed to disclose that the SEAL04 chip projected to have a chip-level energy efficiency of 5 J/TH would be ready for use in the A4 rigs with an expected mass production to begin in the second quarter 2025. Such statements absent these material facts caused Plaintiff and other shareholders to purchase Bitdeer's securities at artificially inflated prices.

On November 10, 2025, Bitdeer issued a press release reporting its unaudited financial results for the third quarter of 2025. Among other items, Bitdeer reported earnings per share of -$1.28, significantly missing the consensus estimate of -$0.22. Bitdeer also disclosed that "development of [its] next-generation Seal 04 [ASIC chip] is significantly delayed."

On this news, Bitdeer's stock price fell $2.63 per share, or 14.9%, to close at $15.02 per share on November 11, 2025.

Then, on November 12, 2025, Bitdeer issues a press release "reporting a fire incident at its under-construction facility in Massillon, Ohio." According to the press release, "[t]he fire incident occurred on the afternoon of November 11" and "2 of the 26 buildings currently under construction sustained fire damage."

On this news, Bitdeer's stock price fell another $2.83 per share, or 20.3%, to close at $11.11 per share on November 13, 2025.

New York, New York--(Newsfile Corp. - January 17, 2026) - WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers of securities of Klarna Group plc (NYSE: KLAR) pursuant and/or traceable to the registration statement and related prospectus (collectively, the "Registration Statement") issued in connection with Klarna's September 2025 initial public offering (the "IPO"), of the important February 20, 2026 lead plaintiff deadline in the securities class action first filed by the Firm.

SO WHAT: If you purchased Klarna securities 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 Klarna class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=48971 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 February 20, 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, at that time, 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 hundreds of millions 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, the Registration Statement contained false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) Defendants materially understated the risk that its loss reserves would materially go up within a few months of the IPO, which they either knew of or should have known of given the risk profile of many individuals agreeing to Klarna's buy now, pay later ("BNPL") loans; and (2); as a result, defendants' public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times and negligently prepared. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.

To join the Klarna class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=48971 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.

, /PRNewswire/ -- Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP, a leading national securities law firm, is investigating potential claims against Aquestive Therapeutics, Inc. ("Aquestive" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: AQST).

Faruqi & Faruqi is a leading national securities law firm with offices in New York, Pennsylvania, California and Georgia. The firm has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors since its founding in 1995. See www.faruqilaw.com.

James (Josh) Wilson, Faruqi & Faruqi Senior Partner (PRNewsfoto/Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP) Shares of Aquestive Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ: AQST) plunged approximately 40% intraday on Friday after the company disclosed that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) identified deficiencies in its New Drug Application (NDA) for Anaphylm, its experimental sublingual film for the treatment of severe allergic reactions, including anaphylaxis. The FDA advised that the unidentified deficiencies currently prevent discussions of labeling and post-marketing requirements, raising concerns about the application's approvability ahead of the January 31, 2026, PDUFA action date.

Big banks delivered earnings this week. Our experts weigh in on the results, the stocks, and the outlook for banking.

It's not too late to invest in these stocks.

Investing in the stock market to generate significant returns over a short period, like six months or a year, is generally not a good idea. Anything can happen over that time frame that will sink shares of even the best corporations. However, over the course of a decade, we can be reasonably confident that broader equities will perform well. We may be able to achieve even better-than-average returns, provided we select the right stocks to invest in.

Consider these two that have been performing well recently: Robinhood Markets (HOOD 1.51%) and HCA Healthcare (HCA 3.00%). Can they deliver more competitive returns through 2036? I think so, and here's why.

Image source: Getty Images.

1. Robinhood Markets Robinhood Markets, an investment app that helped pioneer the commission-free trading model, has performed exceptionally well over the past two years, with revenue and earnings surging during this period. There are serious concerns over whether the company can maintain that momentum through the next decade. Some will point to valuation. Robinhood's forward price-to-earnings of 46.5 looks high by almost any standard, especially when compared to the average of 16.5 for financial stocks.

Then there is Robinhood's reliance on cryptocurrency trading, which accounts for a meaningful (and fluctuating) percentage of total revenue. The crypto market can be quite unpredictable, so Robinhood's revenue may drop as trading volume in that segment declines. Even with these caveats, Robinhood's prospects look strong for the next 10 years. One reason for my optimism is that the company's trading platform has been particularly successful with younger investors.

The app has a modern, digital flavor, with perks including commission-free trading, fractional shares, social media-like features, and yes, crypto trading, as younger generations are more likely to invest in cryptocurrency. My view is that, despite the volatility, given its popularity among young people and growing institutional adoption, the crypto market will make meaningful headway through the next decade. Furthermore, Robinhood has significantly expanded its services and continues to do so.

Over the past 18 months, it has launched a platform with advanced tools for active traders called Robinhood Legend, doubled down on prediction markets, and introduced artificial intelligence (AI) trading tools. Meanwhile, adoption of Robinhood's subscription service, Robinhood Gold, is growing steadily, and it offers a recurring, high-margin source of revenue. These and other opportunities could help Robinhood's results remain strong.

What about valuation? Robinhood's pace in recent years somewhat justifies it. For those intending to hold the stock over the next decade, it is worth buying it at current levels.

2. HCA Healthcare According to some projections, older adults aged 65 and older will outnumber those 18 and younger in the U.S. by 2035. This demographic shift is a result of improved medical care, which has led to longer life expectancies. Declining birth rates are also playing a role. Since seniors use more medical services, we can expect healthcare spending to increase significantly over the next decade.

HCA Healthcare should benefit from that. The company owns and operates a large network of diversified facilities -- including urgent care centers, large hospitals, surgery centers, and more -- across the U.S. and the UK HCA Healthcare's performance was strong last year due to higher demand and utilization for its services and favorable reimbursement rates from third-party payers, among other factors.

However, it is worth noting that the company faces reimbursement risk, as changes to programs such as Medicare and Medicaid could impact its financial results. Even so, the healthcare leader can manage this risk in various ways, including through a fairly diversified payer mix. In the third quarter, approximately half of the company's revenue came from commercial insurance -- with which it typically negotiates higher reimbursement rates than with government payers -- while the rest was split across various government-sponsored programs.

HCA Healthcare also invests heavily in cutting-edge technology to attract patients and third-party payers. This is the playbook that has allowed it to grow its market share over the past 15 years while delivering solid returns, and the company is well-positioned to do it again through 2036.

(NYSE: CPNG) between August 6, 2025 and December 16, 2025, both dates inclusive (the "Class Period"), of the important February 17, 2026 lead plaintiff deadline in the securities class action first filed by the Firm.

WHY ROSEN LAW: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles.

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 false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) Coupang had inadequate cybersecurity protocols that allowed a former employee to access sensitive customer information for nearly six months without being detected; (2) this subjected Coupang to a materially heightened risk of regulatory and legal scrutiny; (3) When defendants became aware that Coupang had been subjected to this data breach, they did not report it in a current report filing (to be filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC")) in compliance with applicable reporting rules; and (4) as a result, defendants' public statements were materially false and/or misleading at all times. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.

If you purchased or acquired securities in Sprouts between June 4, 2025 and October 29, 2025 and would like to discuss your legal rights, call Faruqi & Faruqi partner Josh Wilson directly at 877-247-4292 or 212-983-9330 (Ext. 1310).

, /PRNewswire/ -- Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP, a leading national securities law firm, is investigating potential claims against Sprouts Farmers Market, Inc. ("Sprouts" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: SFM) and reminds investors of the January 26, 2026 deadline to seek the role of lead plaintiff in a federal securities class action that has been filed against the Company.

James (Josh) Wilson, Faruqi & Faruqi Senior Partner (PRNewsfoto/Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP) Faruqi & Faruqi is a leading national securities law firm with offices in New York, Pennsylvania, California and Georgia. The firm has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors since its founding in 1995. See www.faruqilaw.com.

As detailed below, the complaint alleges that the Company and its executives violated federal securities laws by making false and/or misleading statements and/or failing to disclose that: Defendants provided overwhelmingly positive statements to investors while, at the same time, disseminating materially false and misleading statements and/or concealing material adverse facts concerning the true state of Sprouts' growth potential; notably, that a more cautious consumer could result in significant slowdown in sales growth and the purported tailwinds with be unable to dampen the slowdown or would otherwise fail to manifest entirely. Such statements absent these material facts caused Plaintiff and other shareholders to purchase Sprouts' securities at artificially inflated prices.

On October 29, 2025, Sprouts unveiled its third quarter fiscal 2025 results, which highlighted a worrying 4.3% decrease in comparable stores growth compared to the prior quarter, below the company's previous projections. Management further unveiled a continued reduction of comp sales into the fourth quarter, projecting only a 0%-2% growth, and reduced their full year expectations as well from 7.5% - 9% last quarter to only 7%. While Sprouts is attributing its shortfall to challenging year-over-year comparisons and a softening consumer, just last quarter management attested to their "resilience almost irrespective of what happens in the macro economy."

Following this news, Sprouts' stock price fell by $22.64 per share to open at $81.91 per share.

The court-appointed lead plaintiff is the investor with the largest financial interest in the relief sought by the class who is adequate and typical of class members who directs and oversees the litigation on behalf of the putative class. Any member of the putative class may move the Court to serve as lead plaintiff through counsel of their choice, or may choose to do nothing and remain an absent class member. Your ability to share in any recovery is not affected by the decision to serve as a lead plaintiff or not.

The world's leading cryptocurrency has made early adopters incredibly wealthy.

Bitcoin (BTC +0.79%) is ready to start the new year on a better footing. It had a disappointing showing in 2025 as its price dipped about 6% while the stock market put up a double-digit percentage total return. And a competing store-of-value asset, gold, soared last year. Investors might be down on Bitcoin's prospects in the face of these better performances.

It's always a smart idea for investors to take a step back and understand the bigger picture. When they do this, they will still have a positive view of Bitcoin. But is the world's most dominant cryptocurrency a millionaire-maker investment opportunity?

Bitcoin has generated tremendous wealth in the past It's important to look at where Bitcoin has been in the past. This is one of the best-performing assets in recent history. Data from BlackRock, the gargantuan investment manager that has trillions of dollars in assets under management, shows that Bitcoin produced a better return than all other asset classes in eight of the 11 years from the start of 2013 to the end of 2023. And in 2024, the digital asset climbed 119%. That's an impressive track record that's hard to argue with.

Bitcoin is a global macro asset whose price is influenced by market sentiment and changing liquidity. Over any shorter time horizon, things can fluctuate. The longer-term picture, however, is impossible to ignore. Bitcoin's price has skyrocketed 21,140% in the past decade (as of Jan. 13).

The foundation is strong In the early days, Bitcoin was viewed as an extremely risky asset. I think the risk subsides with each passing year. For starters, the network remains incredibly robust in its security. Beyond that, Bitcoin's hash rate, the amount of computing power that miners are deploying to help process transactions on the blockchain, has been growing remarkably steadily. This is a key fundamental metric.

Bitcoin is being integrated into the traditional financial system. Investment vehicles and payment methodologies are the most obvious examples here. And it seems Bitcoin is being viewed more favorably by politicians as time passes.

Looking out a decade or beyond, I have confidence that Bitcoin will continue on this path. Companies will keep finding ways to innovate and adopt Bitcoin. And there will be greater regulatory acceptance. These trends will support Bitcoin being a less risky asset to own.

Investors who study Bitcoin have every reason to be bullish For an asset to make its investors into millionaires, it probably needs a 100-fold gain during the next 25 years. This translates to a superb 20% annualized return. And it means that a $10,000 starting cash outlay will rise to $1 million.

Viewed through this lens, does Bitcoin have what it takes to bring investors to the promised land? I wholeheartedly believe that it does. That 20% annualized gain actually would be a deceleration for Bitcoin based on its past returns. However, it's critical that investors who buy this asset do their homework and truly understand what they own.

To be clear, though, no one has any clue what the price of Bitcoin will be. The biggest bull out there is Michael Saylor, founder and executive chairman of Strategy. His price target of $21 million in 2046 is more than 215 times Bitcoin's current price of about $97,000. If his forecast is accurate, an investment of about $4,500 today will make you a millionaire in 20 years. This is an extremely optimistic scenario.

Making price predictions is a difficult game to play. At the end of the day, Bitcoin has had tremendous upside over the long run. And it can lift the prospects of a diversified portfolio.

Bitcoin ETFs recorded $394.68 million in net outflows on January 16, ending a four-day inflow streak that brought $1.81 billion into the funds.

Summary

Bitcoin ETFs lost $394.68M on Jan. 16, ending a four-day $1.81B inflow streak. Ethereum ETFs added $4.64M, extending a five-day run that brought in $478M. Flows show selective profit-taking in BTC while institutions continue favoring ETH. BlackRock’s IBIT posted the only inflows at $15.09 million, while Fidelity’s FBTC led redemptions with $205.22 million in withdrawals.

Ethereum spot ETFs attracted $4.64 million in net inflows on January 16 and were the fifth consecutive trading day of positive flows. The streak began January 12 and has brought $478.04 million into Ethereum products.

Total net assets under management for Bitcoin ETFs fell to $124.56 billion from $125.18 billion the previous day, while Ethereum ETF assets climbed to $20.42 billion.

Four-day Bitcoin ETFs rally brings $1.81B before reversal Bitcoin ETFs opened January with selling pressure, posting outflows from January 6 through January 9 totaling $1.38 billion. The trend reversed January 12 with $116.67 million in inflows, followed by the strongest week of 2026.

January 13 brought $753.73 million in net inflows, while January 14 posted the largest single-day total at $843.62 million.

January 15 added $100.18 million before the January 16 reversal. The four-day inflow period nearly erased early January’s redemption wave.

Bitcoin ETFs data: SoSo Value Fidelity’s FBTC accounted for 52% of January 16 outflows at $205.22 million. Bitwise’s BITB posted $90.38 million in withdrawals, while Ark & 21Shares’ ARKB saw $69.42 million in redemptions. Grayscale’s GBTC recorded $44.76 million in outflows.

Grayscale’s mini BTC trust, along with VanEck’s HODL, Invesco’s BTCO, Valkyrie’s BRRR, Franklin’s EZBC, WisdomTree’s BTCW, and Hashdex’s DEFI all recorded zero flows on January 16.

Total value traded reached $3.60 billion on January 16, down from $3.99 billion the previous day. Cumulative total net inflow dropped to $57.82 billion from $58.22 billion as the single-day outflows offset recent gains.

Ethereum extends rally to five consecutive sessions Ethereum ETF inflows began January 12 with $5.04 million, accelerating through mid-week. January 13 brought $129.99 million, followed by $175.00 million on January 14 and $164.37 million on January 15.

The January 16 inflows of $4.64 million represented the weakest day of the streak but maintained positive territory. Total net assets climbed from $18.88 billion on January 12 to $20.42 billion on January 16.

Cumulative total net inflow reached $12.91 billion, recovering from December’s outflow pressures. Total value traded hit $1.19 billion on January 16.

The divergence between Bitcoin and Ethereum flows suggests selective institutional buying rather than broad-based crypto redemptions.

XRP spot ETFs recorded $1.12 million in net inflows on January 16, while Solana spot ETFs saw $2.22 million in outflows.

Led by Texas and New Hampshire, U.S. states across the national map, both red and blue in political stripes, are developing bitcoin strategic reserves and bringing cryptocurrencies onto their books through additional state finance and budgeting measures. 

Texas recently became the first state to purchase bitcoin after a legislative effort that began in 2024, but numerous states have joined the "Reserve Race" to pass legislation that will allow them to ultimately buy cryptocurrencies.

New Hampshire passed its crypto strategic reserve law last May, even before Texas, giving the state treasurer the authority to invest up to 5% of the state funds in crypto ETFs, though precious metals such as gold are also authorized for purchase. Arizona passed similar legislation, while Massachusetts, Ohio, and South Dakota have legislation at various stages of committee review.

Despite much of the legislation being largely sponsored or co-sponsored by Republicans, the adoption of crypto at the state level is not expected to strictly fall along party lines. The 2024 election cycle was the first time that the cryptocurrency industry played a major role in lobbying in both state and national elections. In fact, it was the largest corporate donor in an election cycle, with support given to candidates on both sides. It is already amassing a war chest for the 2026 midterms.

Congress is currently debating a crypto market structure bill, and state-level politicians are as much out to prove that they, and their states, won't be left out of the digital assets boom. Justin Marlowe, a public policy professor at the University of Chicago, sees the state-level trend as largely one of signaling at present. "If you're a governor and you want to broadcast that you are amenable to innovative business development in the digital economy, these are relatively low-cost, low-risk ways to send that signal. That's why we've seen leaders across the ideological spectrum and all over the country take tangible steps in this direction," he said.

Where the state-level crypto efforts can be described as "bigger steps" — Marlowe cited Texas, Arizona, and Florida, as examples — he said it has helped to acknowledge the growing political power of crypto advocates in these states. 

Similarities in the actions taken across states to date include include authorizing the state treasurer or other investment official to allow the investment of a limited amount of public funds in crypto and building out the governance structure needed to invest in crypto. This often will involve more frequent reporting requirements and stronger custodial agreements compared to traditional asset classes. The seeding of the reserve can take the form of utilizing cash or government-seized crypto, as in the recent case of the federal government. President Donald Trump signed an executive order to create a strategic bitcoin reserve last March, but limited the authorization to seized crypto in an effort to show taxpayers would bear no financial burden.

It is no surprise that Texas was the first state to fund a crypto reserve. Texas has been a crypto hub for years through its role in bitcoin mining. The state's affordable and flexible power, as well as a political environment that has largely been pro-crypto, led Texas in recent years to a sizable position in not just the national, but global bitcoin hashing market.

"Texas has spent the last few years becoming one of the key centers of bitcoin activity, especially on the mining side," said Christian Catalini, founder of the MIT Cryptoeconomics Lab, seeing this move as one that early branded the state as "open for business" when it comes to digital assets.

"Once you've made that bet on infrastructure and industry, adding some Bitcoin exposure at the treasury level is a natural next step," Catalini said. Such a move essentially makes the state's balance sheet one that is explicitly aligned with the ecosystem it aims to attract. 

Texas also has a long history with bitcoin's traditional market competitor: gold. 

"Texas has proven to be a bedrock of government adoption of bitcoin, starting with laws that allow for legal custody arrangements akin to gold storage laws that are well established there," said Nik Bhatia, founder of The Bitcoin Layer.  

When it comes to storing physical gold, Texas has clear rules on storage and ownership, and even the language invoked – vaults, custodians – helps grease the wheels for crypto assets at the state level. The Texas Bullion Depository of 2015, which allowed for state-level depository of bullion and precious metals, was specifically adapted to apply to digital assets like bitcoin. The Texas Bullion Depositary was the first state-administered precious metals depository in the nation.

Texas has not purchased any on-chain bitcoin. After passing the legislation to create a strategic bitcoin reserve that gave authorization to the state comptroller to hold the cryptocurrency, Texas purchased a stake in a bitcoin ETF — roughly $5 million in the largest bitcoin ETF, the BlackRock iShares' Bitcoin Trust (IBIT), which since its launch in January 2024 has grown to over $72 billion in assets under management.

The Comptroller's office made its purchase on the morning of November 20, 2025, when the price of a single bitcoin was $91,336. As of Saturday morning, bitcoin was trading at a little over $95,000.

Bhatia said the approval of bitcoin ETFs by the SEC was crucial to the state plans to be comfortable with the holdings under current U.S. securities law. "Using ETFs is a very clean and safe way to invest in bitcoin, minimizing storage logistical risk and opting for security law protection," Bhatia said.

Texas state officials have described this purchase — which deployed only half of the $10 million set aside by the Texas Strategic Bitcoin Reserve — as a "placeholder" while security and storage for raw bitcoin can be put into place.

Crypto's move into core state finance and budgetingIn addition to the concept of reserve funds, states are bringing crypto into core finance functions, with an approach that balances the inherent trepidation of venturing into new terrain with a desire to be a part of the fast-moving crypto realm. 

New Hampshire, for example, became the first state to approve the issuance of a bitcoin-backed municipal bond last November, a $100 million issuance that would mark the first time cryptocurrency is used as collateral in the U.S. municipal bond market. The deal has not taken place yet, though plans are for the issuance to occur this year. "The idea is they'll use bitcoin to back a municipal bond issue, the proceeds of which will then be divvied up into loans to smaller governments for economic development projects across the state," Marlowe said. Repayment of these loans will recapitalize the fund. 

It is a creative evolution in state finances, but like many of the mechanisms for crypto development at the state level, it utilizes existing financial structures and state goals, according to Marlowe, with similar public bonds in prior decades used for projects like clean water, school upgrades, and other infrastructure. "What's different here is it's bitcoin rather than taxpayer dollars as the collateral," he said.

In numerous states, including, Colorada, Utah, and Louisiana, crypto is now accepted as payment for taxes and other state business. As more state public finance crypto efforts develop, the shift represents a change in a core philosophy of safety and liquidity that has dominated the investing of state and local funds for centuries.  

In recent decades, assets including real estate and private equity expanded the investment approach of public funds, but crypto represents not only the most recent addition, but the most volatile. 

"For many in the state/local investing industry, crypto-backed assets are still far too speculative and volatile for public money," Marlowe said. "But others, and I think there's a sort of generational shift in the works, see it as a reasonable store of value that is actually stronger on many other public sector values like transparency and asset integrity," he added. 

For the first time since its proposal to abandon the Cosmos ecosystem was approved, the Sei Network has committed to a timeline to finalize its transition into an EVM-only chain by mid-2026.

The network is racing to implement what it calls the “Sei Giga” upgrade, and has called upon users who will be affected by this transition to start taking actions to avoid potential losses.

Why is Sei Network making a transition? The transition is driven by a proposal known as SIP-3 that was approved by the Sei community last May, which will deprecate the network’s CosmWasm smart contracts and native Cosmos transactions.

Sei Network aims to streamline its blockchain by removing hundreds of thousands of lines of code, clearing the path for performance improvements that Sei Labs claims will enable the network to process more than 200,000 transactions per second.

Jay Jog, co-founder of Sei Labs, the company behind the Sei Network, explained the rationale behind the move on X, writing, “To make something faster, you either have to add power or reduce weight,” he wrote. “To make something a lot faster, you do both.”

Jog stated, “In simple terms, that’s what the SIP-3 upgrades will accomplish. They will dissolve Sei’s dual EVM + Cosmos architecture and make Sei an EVM-only chain. The code changes for implementing SIP-3, which the Sei ecosystem approved last May, are enormous. We are removing literally hundreds of thousands of lines of code.”

When will the Sei Network completely cut off Cosmos support? The technical overhaul has immediate and serious implications for users holding Cosmos-native assets on Sei Network, especially those with USDC via Noble, known as USDC.n, as reported by Cryptopolitan.

There’s about $1.4 million worth of USDC.n currently circulating on Sei Network.

Sei Labs has asked the holders to convert these assets to native USDC before late March 2026 or risk losing access to their assets.

The transition is designed to unfold in three stages. Version 6.3 is expected to launch in January, and it will enable staking functionality through the EVM.

Version 6.4 is scheduled for February, and it will disable inbound IBC transfers to the platform. According to Sei Labs, “users will no longer be able to bridge Cosmos-specific tokens such as Atom and USDC.n into Sei Network” when inbound transfer is disabled, as IBC is Cosmos’ native interoperability protocol.

A March release, version 6.5, will remove Sei’s native oracle from codebase.  This will be replaced by established providers, including Chainlink, API3, and Pyth.

Users holding USDC.n can swap smaller amounts through decentralized exchanges such as DragonSwap or Symphony, though Sei Labs warns that slippage may vary depending on market conditions.

For larger conversions, a migration tool routes USDC.n from Noble through Polygon and back to Sei using Circle’s Cross-Chain Transfer Protocol version 2. Those with USDC.n deposited in decentralized finance protocols have been advised to unwind their positions promptly.

Sei Labs launched its mainnet in 2023 and currently has a market capitalization of around $800 million.

In October 2025, Robinhood listed the SEI token, which helped to boost the reach of the asset to retail buyers. Earlier in 2025, Canary Capital filed for the first spot Sei exchange-traded fund with US regulators, though it has not been approved by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), which insists on due diligence when it comes to cryptocurrency investment products.

Metaplanet CEO has expressed his opinion about corporate Bitcoin adoption, stating the difference between companies holding Bitcoin and those that do not.

Cover image via U.Today As Bitcoin continues to see growing adoption among retail and institutional investors, Simon Gerovich, the CEO of Metaplanet, has shared his perspective on why some companies are reluctant about holding Bitcoin.

While airing his opinion, Gerovich asserted that the company's decision to hold back on buying the leading asset has little to do with fear or disbelief in the asset itself.

Bitcoin's corporate adoption goes beyond convictionAccording to Simon Gerovich, Bitcoin is yet to be adopted by most companies, not because they have actively rejected the asset, but it was just not a conversation in the first place.

HOT Stories

As such, companies do not detest the idea behind Bitcoin, but they have not considered the asset because there is no heated debate yet, nor a formal decision to say no.

Gerovich emphasized that it is just absent from the conversation altogether as it has been crowded out by familiar strategies and traditional financial playbooks.

Gerovich further noted that, for the few management teams that do take Bitcoin seriously, the decision goes beyond spreadsheets and price charts. It requires a strong mindset and a thick skin.

According to him, adopting Bitcoin means accepting that markets may misunderstand your strategy for years. It means being comfortable looking wrong before eventually being proven right.

That willingness to endure skepticism is what separates the companies holding Bitcoin from the vast majority that do not. It is not about conviction in Bitcoin’s potential, but about courage in leadership and a long-term view that resists short-term market pressure.
