Kirkland Lake Discoveries Corp. Announces Upsizing of Private Placement to $10M
September 25, 2025 3:36 PM EDT | Source: Kirkland Lake Discoveries Corp.
Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - September 25, 2025) - Kirkland Lake Discoveries Inc. (TSXV: KLDC) (the "Company") is pleased to announce that further to its press release dated September 22, 2025, the Company has upsized its previously announced non-brokered private placement (the "Offering") due to strong investor demand. The Offering will now consist of the issuance of (i) flow-through shares ("FT Shares") at a price of $0.30 per FT Share; and (ii) units (each, a "Unit") at a price of $0.25 per Unit, in any combination, to raise aggregate gross proceeds of up to $10,000,000.
Each Unit will consist of one (1) common share of the Company (a "Common Share") and one-half (1/2) of one (1) Common Share purchase warrant (each whole warrant, a "Warrant"), with each whole Warrant exercisable to acquire one additional Common Share at an exercise price of $0.40 for a period of 36 months from the date of issuance. The FT Shares issued under the Offering are intended to qualify as "flow-through shares" within the meaning of the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the "Tax Act").
The Company previously announced that it had secured lead orders from new and existing investors, including Eric Sprott, Rob McEwen, and Crescat Capital.
The net proceeds raised from the issuance of Units will be used to fund exploration activities on the Company's projects and for general working capital purposes. The gross proceeds from the sale of FT Shares will be used to incur "Canadian exploration expenses" that are intended to qualify as "flow-through mining expenditures" as those terms are defined in the Tax Act.
Closing of the Offering remains subject to customary conditions, including the receipt of all necessary approvals, including the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSX-V"). All securities issued pursuant to the Offering will be subject to a statutory hold period under applicable Canadian securities laws of four months and one day from the date of closing. The Company may pay a finder's fee in connection with the Offering to eligible finders in accordance with TSX-V policies and applicable securities laws.
The securities offered in the Offering have not been registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption.
Related Party Participation in the Offering
Certain insiders of the Company are expected to participate in the Offering. Their participation constitutes a "related party transaction" as defined under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"). The Company is relying on the exemptions from the valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements contained in sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101, as neither the fair market value of the securities purchased by insiders, nor the consideration paid by such insiders, will exceed 25% of the Company's market capitalization.
The Company expects that closing of the Offering will occur within 21 days of this announcement. It will not file a material change report in respect of the related party transaction at least 21 days before closing, as it deems this circumstance reasonable to complete the Offering on an expeditious basis. The Offering has been unanimously approved by the Company's board of directors. Further details regarding insider participation will be provided once finalized.
About Kirkland Lake Discoveries Corp.
Kirkland Lake Discoveries Corp. (TSXV: KLDC) has assembled a 40,000-hectare exploration portfolio in the Kirkland Lake region of Ontario's Abitibi Greenstone Belt—one of the most prolific mining districts in the world. The company's properties span key fault zones, geophysical anomalies, and volcanic sedimentary contacts within the Blake River Group—a highly prospective assemblage known to host both gold and polymetallic VMS deposits.
With multiple anomalous soil trends, historical showings, and structural intersections now permitted for exploration, KLDC is advancing a pipeline of drill-ready targets across its KL East and KL West project areas. The team combines strong technical experience with a focus on smart, efficient exploration designed to deliver results.
Neither TSX Venture Exchange nor its Regulation Services Provider (as that term is defined in policies of the TSX Venture Exchange) accepts responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this release.

The 2025 Absorbies drew a record 122 nominations from 83 companies across 18 industries and six regions worldwide, underscoring the growing role of learning in driving workforce transformation. Winners were evaluated on innovation, engagement, measurable outcomes, and how effectively they embedded learning into organizational culture to deliver business results.

Privileging turnaround cut from 2–4 weeks to just 3–5 days, reducing delays and administrative burden.
Six consecutive months with zero adverse events, down from 2–3 per month before launch.
7.7% increase in net patient revenue (Q3 2024: $174.7M vs. $162.3M), supported by accurate billing and reduced denials.
End-to-end audit readiness, with all certificates, quizzes, and scheduling records time-stamped for compliance.
By tying learning outcomes directly to clinical access and billing authorization, ATI not only improved compliance and safety but also safeguarded revenue and raised care standards nationwide.

Amazon agrees $2.5bn settlement for allegedly duping customers into Prime membership
Amazon has reached a historic $2.5bn (£1.9bn) settlement with a US business watchdog over allegations it tricked customers into signing up for Prime membership.
The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) accused the online giant of tricking customers into the membership scheme - which includes perks like faster delivery - and then making it difficult to cancel.
The Seattle-based company will pay $1bn (£750m) in civil penalties, and $1.5bn (£1.1bn) paid back to customers unintentionally enrolled in Prime or deterred from cancelling their subscriptions.
Around 35 million Prime customers will be eligible for a payout from the $1.5bn (£1.1bn) fund, the FTC said.
Customers who signed up for Prime between 23 June, 2019, and 23 June, 2025, through certain offers, and used few Prime benefits afterwards, will automatically receive $51 (£38).
The FTC accused Amazon of making it deliberately difficult for customers to purchase an item without also subscribing to Prime.
It added that customers were, in some cases, presented with a button to complete their transactions, which did not clearly state that it would enrol them into Prime.

Getting out of a subscription was often too complicated, and Amazon slowed or rejected changes that would have made cancelling easier, according to an FTC complaint.
The process of unsubscribing, requiring customers to affirm on three pages their desire to quit, was referred to internally as "Iliad", an ancient Greek epic by Homer about the Trojan War, according to the watchdog's complaint.
The settlement came just days after a trial began in Seattle this week.
Chris Mufarrige, director of the Bureau of Consumer Protection, said: "I think it just took a few days for them to see that they were going to lose. And they came to us and they paid out."
Amazon, which admitted no wrongdoing in the case filed two years ago, said it was confident it would win the case but chose to resolve it quickly rather than going through potentially years of trial and appeal.

Prime benefits include faster delivery. Pic: Reuters
Amazon spokesman, Mark Blafkin, said: "Amazon and our executives have always followed the law and this settlement allows us to move forward and focus on innovating for customers.
"We work incredibly hard to make it clear and simple for customers to both sign up or cancel their Prime membership, and to offer substantial value for our many millions of loyal Prime members around the world."
Under the settlement, Amazon is prohibited from misrepresenting the terms of the subscriptions.
It must fully disclose the costs to be incurred and obtain the customer's express consent for the charge, with a clear option for customers to accept or decline a Prime subscription offered during purchase and avoid language deemed confusing, such as: "No thanks, I don't want free shipping."
Amazon said the settlement does not require it to make any additional changes, only to maintain its current sign-up and cancellation process that it had put in place for a year.

Worst Could Be Over for Struggling Coca-Cola Stock
Shares of Coca-Cola Co (NYSE:KO) were last seen down 0.6% to trade at $66.06, after the company was issued a price-target cut from Wells Fargo to $75 from $78. While the beverage name has been struggling of late, the stock is still up 6.1% in 2025, and looks to be within one standard deviation of a historically bullish trendline.
The equity is holding near its 24-month moving average, a trendline it has closed above in 80% of the last 20 months. According to Schaeffer’s Senior Quantitative Analyst Rocky White, this has happened 14 times over the last 20 years, after which the equity was higher one month later 71% of the time, averaging a 4.2% jump. A move of similar magnitude from the stock's current perch would put it above $68.
Options traders are pricing in relatively low volatility expectations, per the shares' Schaeffer's Volatility Index (SVI) of 17%, which ranks in the 14th percentile of readings from the past 12 months.

Integral Ad Science (IAS - Free Report) shares ended the last trading session 20.5% higher at $10.19. The jump came on an impressive volume with a higher-than-average number of shares changing hands in the session. This compares to the stock's 4.2% loss over the past four weeks.
The stock rose after the company announced a definitive acquisition agreement with Novacap, a North American private equity firm. Under the deal, Novacap will acquire IAS for $10.30 per share in cash, effectively taking the company private.
This digital advertising verification company is expected to post quarterly earnings of $0.09 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of -10%. Revenues are expected to be $149.2 million, up 11.7% from the year-ago quarter.
Earnings and revenue growth expectations certainly give a good sense of the potential strength in a stock, but empirical research shows that trends in earnings estimate revisions are strongly correlated with near-term stock price movements.
For Integral Ad Science, the consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has remained unchanged over the last 30 days. And a stock's price usually doesn't keep moving higher in the absence of any trend in earnings estimate revisions. So, make sure to keep an eye on IAS going forward to see if this recent jump can turn into more strength down the road.
The stock currently carries a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy). You can see the complete list of today's Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) stocks here >>>>

ABOUT OROCO
The Company holds a net 85.5% interest in those central concessions that comprise 1,173 hectares “the Core Concessions” of The Santo Tomas Project, located in northwestern Mexico.

Commencing in 2021, Oroco conducted a drill program (Phase 1) at Santo Tomas, with a resulting total of 48,481 meters drilled in 76 diamond drill holes.
The drilling and subsequent resource estimates and engineering studies led to a revised MRE and an updated PEA being published and filed in August of 2024, which studies are available at the Company’s website www.orocoresourcecorp.com and by reviewing the Company profile on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca.

Schwab Seeks to Provide Retail Investors Access to Private Companies
Key Takeaways Schwab is considering giving retail investors direct access to private companies.CEO Rick Wurster said growing private firms make expanded access a priority.Robinhood has also filed plans for a fund, giving everyday investors private access.
Charles Schwab (SCHW - Free Report) has been wanting to allow retail investors direct access to private companies. In an interview with Bloomberg Television, as published in an MSN article, SCHW’s CEO and president, Rick Wurster, said that the brokerage giant is exploring ways to permit everyday investors to buy into private companies like fintech giant Stripe and artificial-intelligence firm OpenAI.
Wurster stated, “There’s a lot more private companies today than there used to be, and fewer public companies. It makes sense to think about providing direct access to retail investors to private companies, and that’s something we’re looking at.”
He added, “We would love to see retail investors be able to participate in the growth of private companies in our country.”
Schwab’s latest comments regarding providing broader access to private firms come after the firm announced in April that it will make its new alternative investments platform, Schwab Alternative Investments Select, completely available to all its eligible retail clients who hold household assets worth more than $5 million.
Such efforts have been encouraged of late, as there has been an increasing demand among wealthy clients to tap into private market opportunities in order to meet their portfolio diversification needs.
Schwab’s Competitor Taking Similar StepsEarlier this month, Robinhood Markets (HOOD - Free Report) filed plans with the Securities and Exchange Commission to launch a venture capital fund, Robinhood Ventures Fund I (“RVI”), aimed to provide everyday investors access to private companies before they go public. If approved, the RVI will invest in a small basket of private companies across industries and hold them through IPO and beyond.
Robinhood’s chairman and CEO, Vlad Tenev, said, “For decades, wealthy people and institutions have invested in private companies while retail investors have been unfairly locked out.”
Schwab’s Price Performance & Zacks RankSo far this year, SCHW shares have gained 24.8% compared with the industry’s growth of 30%.

Apollo Launches Three Evergreen ELTIFs to Broaden Private Markets Access
Key Takeaways Apollo gained approval to launch three evergreen ELTIFs under Luxembourg's ELTIF 2.0 regime.Each fund targets distinct goals, from senior loans and multi-asset credit to global private equity.
The new ELTIFs expand Apollo's Luxembourg platform to eight evergreen products in Global Wealth.
Apollo Global Management, Inc. (APO - Free Report) has received regulatory approval to launch three evergreen, semi-liquid European Long-Term Investment Funds (“ELTIFs”). The launch will further broaden access to institutional-quality private markets for individual investors across Europe, Asia, and Latin America.
Details of the Launch by APOThe new funds, Apollo European Private Credit ELTIF (AEPC ELTIF), Apollo Global Diversified Credit ELTIF (AGDC ELTIF), and Apollo Global Private Markets ELTIF (AGPM ELTIF), have been authorized by Luxembourg’s Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier and will operate under the updated ELTIF 2.0 regime.
Apollo’s three new ELTIFs bring a distinct investment focus. The AEPC will seek steady income by originating primarily first-lien, senior-secured loans to large-cap and upper-middle-market European companies. The AGDC will take a flexible, multi-asset approach to private credit, allocating across sectors, such as direct lending and asset-backed finance, to capture diverse income opportunities.
Further, the AGPM is designed to generate long-term capital growth through investments in private companies worldwide, including secondaries and co-investments accessed through Apollo’s extensive global network.
APO’s ETLIF Launch Broadens Private Markets AccessWith the additions, Apollo’s Luxembourg platform now features eight evergreen products, further strengthening its Global Wealth business. The expansion follows a strong first half in 2025, during which the division attracted $9 billion in inflows across 18 strategies, highlighting rising investor demand for diversified private markets solutions.
This expanded platform strengthens the company’s ability to deliver a comprehensive suite of solutions and turnkey access points to institutional-grade private markets strategies for eligible investors across Europe, Asia, and Latin America, in compliance with local regulations.
The launch will also offer individual investors greater access to Apollos' private markets expertise through personalized, evergreen formats and broader distribution channels.
Veronique Fournier, Head of EMEA Global Wealth, stated, “With these three new ELTIFs, we continue to bring the best of Apollo’s investing expertise to wealth investors in Europe and around the world, in product formats tailored to their needs.
Fournier added, “In our Global Wealth business, we continue to expand our holistic suite of solutions to meet growing demand from investors seeking to build diversified portfolios with meaningful private markets exposure.”
APO’s Prior Efforts to Boost Private Markets AccessOver recent years, Apollo has scaled its Global Wealth business, providing access to private markets strategies via Luxembourg-based SICAV structures. It has consistently built a multi-asset private markets platform, spanning private credit, direct lending, asset-backed finance, private equity, secondaries, and co-investments.
APO has also formed partnerships to strengthen its private markets capabilities, particularly in Europe and Asia. In 2024, Apollo inked a deal with Citigroup (C - Free Report) for a subsidiary of Citigroup and certain affiliates of Apollo to establish a revolutionary $25-billion private credit, direct lending program. The program initially focused on North America, potentially expanding to additional geographies. Both APO and C expect the program to finance $25 billion in debt opportunities over the next several years, including corporate and financial sponsor transactions.
In the same year, Apollo and its affiliates announced their partnership with State Street's (STT - Free Report) asset management business, State Street Global Advisors. The APO and STT partnership is aimed at enhancing investors' accessibility to private markets opportunities.
Final Words on ApolloThe launch of three ELTIFs highlights Apollo’s commitment to making private markets more accessible to a broader range of investors. By expanding its evergreen Luxembourg platform and leveraging the flexibility of the ELTIF 2.0 framework, the company is well-positioned to capture rising demand for alternative investments while deepening its global wealth footprint.
The company’s prior efforts have been centered on creating scalable, diversified, and accessible private market solutions, positioning the firm as a leader in bringing institutional-quality opportunities to global wealth and institutional clients.
APO’s Zacks Rank & Price PerformanceIn the past year, shares of Apollo have gained 10.7% compared with the industry’s 10.2% rise.

Here's Why You Should Retain Jones Lang Stock in Your Portfolio Now
The H&M group is entering the fall season with style. On Wednesday, September 24, the retailer released its third-quarter earnings and reported an operating profit of 4.9 billion Swedish krona ($521 million). The H&M group owns brands including H&M, COS, Monki, and Arket.
Its operating profit marked a 40% increase year-over-year (YOY) and beat analysts’ predicted 3.7 billion Swedish krona ($393 million), according to consensus estimates cited by CNBC.
The figures also marked consecutive quarterly successes for the H&M group, which also beat estimated operating profits in quarter-two. However, the H&M group now predicts that 2025’s quarter-four will yield less positive results due to the “increased impact” of tariffs.
Stock price rises despite tariff warningDespite the concerning forecast, investors responded positively to H&M group’s current earnings. Trading on the Stockholm Stock Exchange, the company’s share price (STO:HM-B) jumped 10% through after-hours and into premarket trading Thursday morning.
Subscribe to the Daily newsletter.Fast Company's trending stories delivered to you every day
Other factors could have contributed to the boost in share prices. The H&M group reported that sales in local currencies had increased by 2% during the quarter.
However, the company notably reduced its store count over the previous nine months.
As of August 31, the H&M group had 4,118 stores, compared to 4,298 at the same point last year.
The company closed 135, or 4%, of its store locations over the first nine months of the fiscal year, 48 in quarter-three alone.
A majority of the closures were H&M and Monki stores in Europe, Asia, Oceania, and Africa. Only five stores shut down throughout North and South America.
These closures don’t necessarily point to a planned consolidation. The company pointed to a newly opened store, its first in Brazil, as being “well received.”
The application deadline for Fast Company’s Most Innovative Companies Awards is Friday, October 3, at 11:59 p.m. PT. Apply today.

Spotify denies recent accusation that it changed its terms for artists
This week, Spotify publicly addressed misinformation circulating about its terms of use.
The response was prompted by videos from creators, such as artist @chantmagick, which accused Spotify of modifying its terms and conditions to permit the transfer of rights to artists’ music to third parties, including partners, affiliates, and tech providers.
Spotify issued a public statement this week, clarifying that these claims are false and reassuring users that these updated terms do not affect the distribution rights of artists, podcasters, creators, and authors regarding their music, shows, and audiobooks.
Instead, these terms apply to listeners. The terms allow Spotify to “display features such as user-created custom playlist covers, user comments on podcasts, and user-created playlist titles,” the company wrote. It’s fairly common for streaming platforms and music services to use user-generated content.
The music streaming giant continues to face significant criticism regarding its treatment of artists, with many alleging that they receive insufficient compensation for their work on the platform. Last year, Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib and Congressman Jamaal Bowman proposed the Living Wage for Musicians Act, which aims to increase streaming royalties to one cent per stream.
Despite these concerns, Spotify asserts that its payments are improving, stating it paid out $10 billion to the music industry in 2024.

Opendoor's stock soars after Jane Street's ‘validation.' What comes next?
HomeIndustriesConstruction/Real EstateJane Street’s stake has provided some respite to Opendoor investors after the stock pulled back sharply over the past couple weeksPublished: Sept. 25, 2025 at 2:44 p.m. ET
Shares of Opendoor Technologies Inc. are rallying on the disclosure that quantitative-trading firm Jane Street Group LLC has amassed a stake in the e-commerce platform for residential-real-estate transactions.
Jane Street’s stake marks the latest chapter in an eventful few months for the heavily shorted Opendoor OPEN, which saw its stock skyrocket amid a retail frenzy that sparked comparisons with earlier meme-stock explosions. The stake, which was revealed in a 13G filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission late Wednesday, could also herald something of a shift in how the stock is perceived.
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 25, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- On August 20, 2025, James Hardie Industries (NYSE: JHX) shares crashed by 34% after the company disclosed significant issues with its North America business, its largest segment.
This sudden and massive decline has prompted an investigation by Hagens Berman into whether the company may have misled investors about its sales practices and the sustainability of its business model.
The firm urges investors in James Hardie who suffered significant losses to contact the firm now.

Investigation into Potentially Misleading Assurances
The investigation is centered on the contrast between James Hardie's previous assurances and its recent performance. In May 2025, the company had told investors that its business model would allow it to “structurally grow through expansions and contractions.”
This claim came into question on August 19, 2025, when the company reported dismal Q1 2026 results. James Hardie admitted that its North America sales volumes had declined by 12% year-over-year due to customers “destocking” their inventory from April to May. The company’s reduced outlook for the future was tied to these high inventory levels, potentially indicating that the earlier sales figures may have been artificially inflated by pushing products into the distribution channel.
Hagens Berman’s Investigation on Behalf of Investors
Hagens Berman is now investigating when and to what extent James Hardie’s management knew about this “inventory destocking” and whether they properly disclosed this information to investors.
“Our focus is on whether the company may have misled investors by presenting a facade of sustained demand, when in reality, they may have been overloading their channel partners with excess product,” said Reed Kathrein, the Hagens Berman partner leading the investigation.

Did Coty Overload Retailers to Mask Inventory Issues? Investigation Seeks to Answer the Question -- Hagens Berman
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 25, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Hagens Berman, a prominent shareholder rights law firm, is probing Coty Inc. (NYSE: COTY), one of the world’s largest beauty companies. The investigation follows a significant 21% drop in Coty's stock price on August 21, 2025, after the company disclosed what it called "retailer inventory destocking issues" alongside its weak Q4 and full-year financial results.
Hagens Berman is looking into whether Coty may have misled investors about its growth trajectory and the success of its digital inventory strategy, known as SAP S/4HANA.
The firm urges investors in Coty who suffered significant losses to submit your losses now. The firm also encourages persons with knowledge who may be able to assist in the investigation to contact its attorneys.

Coty Inc. (COTY) Investigation:
Since August 2024, Coty has repeatedly stated that its digital transition “went off without a hitch.” However, the recent disclosures about retailer “destocking”—a term for retailers reducing their excess inventory—appear to be at odds with those earlier, optimistic claims. The investigation is exploring whether Coty may have been deliberately shipping excess inventory to its retail partners to mask its own inventory buildup and meet its earnings expectations, an undisclosed sales practice that would be misleading to investors.
The August 21 earnings report revealed a steep year-over-year revenue decrease in both the Prestige and Consumer Beauty segments, which make up about 65% and 35% of the company's revenue, respectively. The company blamed this weak performance, in part, on the same retailer inventory issues it had previously downplayed. This revelation led to a swift and sharp decline in the stock’s value, which has not recovered.
Hagens Berman’s Investigation on Behalf of Investors
Hagens Berman is now investigating whether Coty and its executives made material misrepresentations that kept investors in the dark about the company’s true financial condition.
“The question for us is whether Coty’s management may have intentionally downplayed the inventory problems to present an overly optimistic picture to the market,” said Reed Kathrein, the Hagens Berman partner leading the investigation.

FIS Strengthens Digital Capabilities With Amount Acquisition
Key Takeaways FIS completed its acquisition of digital banking solutions provider Amount.Amount enhances account opening, lending, cards and deposits with AI tools.The move strengthens FIS' Banking Solutions segment, revenues from which grew 4% in H1 2025.
Fidelity National Information Services, Inc. (FIS - Free Report) recently completed the purchase of a leading Chicago-based integrated digital banking origination and decisioning solutions provider, Amount.
The integration of Amount allows FIS to further expand its innovative solutions suite that addresses every stage of the money lifecycle. When money is at rest, the platform enhances account opening through secure, compliant processes that minimize fraud and ensure trust.
When money is in motion, it accelerates credit card issuance and payment processing, enabling faster approvals and delivering seamless customer journeys. And when money is at work, it provides financial institutions with advanced tools to improve efficiency, broaden their product offerings and simplify lending operations.
The buyout seems to be a prudent move on the part of FIS since Amount delivers a premier digital account opening experience for both consumers and small businesses across lending, cards and deposits, and processed more than 150 million new account applications. Its cloud-native, unified platform, enhanced with embedded AI, streamlines the onboarding process for banks, lenders and credit unions.
Benefits of the Recent Move to FISThe recent move is expected to solidify FIS’ Banking Solutions segment through addition of a digital-native, cloud-first capability. It will also enable its clients to grow deposits, loans and card portfolios more effectively and securely. Revenues from the unit advanced 4% year over year in the first half of 2025.
FIS continually invests in cutting-edge technologies and develops new solutions to strengthen the payment infrastructure.

Apple is asking Europe’s antitrust regulator to do away with its digital protection rule.
In a blog post Thursday (Sept. 25), the tech giant asked the European Commission (EC) to rethink its Digital Markets Act (DMA) a little more than a year after it was enacted.
“Over that time, it’s become clear that the DMA is leading to a worse experience for Apple users in the EU,” Apple wrote.
“It’s exposing them to new risks, and disrupting the simple, seamless way their Apple products work together. And as new technologies come out, our European users’ Apple products will only fall further behind.”
The landmark DMA was designed to combat market abuse by tech giants operating within the European Union, and covers these companies’ operating systems, app stores and platforms. The law lets regulators levy fines totaling up to 10% of a company’s annual worldwide revenue, or 20% in the case of repeat offenders.
The EC fined Apple $580 million in April, saying the company had violated rules for allowing developers to direct users to purchases outside of app stores. Apple is appealing the fine.

In its blog post, Apple argued the DMA requirements for permitting other app market places and alternative payment systems don’t take into account the privacy and security standards of the App Store, placing users at risk for being scammed or overcharged.
“The DMA also lets other companies request access to user data and core technologies of Apple products,” the company wrote. “Apple is required to meet almost every request, even if they create serious risks for our users.”
Companies, the blog post added, have required some of the most sensitive data on user’s iPhones, such as messages, emails, medical alerts, or the history of all the Wi-Fi networks a user has joined.
Apple’s comments on the DMA follow a report from earlier this week that regulators in Europe were seeking more information about the company’s financial fraud protections.
Henna Virkkunen, the EU’s executive vice president of tech sovereignty, security and democracy, said the bloc wants to determine whether Apple — along with Meta and Google — is doing enough to prevent fraud.
“We see that more and more criminal actions are taking place online,” said Virkkunen, per a Financial Times report. “We have to make sure that online platforms really take all their efforts to detect and prevent that kind of illegal content.”
That report noted that regulators were set to issue formal requests for information to the three companies, under powers granted under the Digital Services Act (DSA), a sister piece of legislation to the DMA.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 25, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- On August 15, 2025, shares in Soleno Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ: SLNO) experienced a significant drop following the release of a highly critical report by Scorpion Capital.
Hagens Berman, a national shareholders rights firm, has opened an investigation into Soleno. The firm will investigate whether Soleno may have misled investors about VYKAT™ XR. The drug, a once-daily oral tablet, is designed to treat hyperphagia. Soleno has described this condition as "the most life-limiting aspect" of Prader-Willi syndrome, a rare genetic disorder that causes physical, mental, and behavioral problems.
The firm urges investors in Soleno who suffered significant losses to submit your losses now.

Soleno Therapeutics, Inc. (SLNO) Investigation:
The investigation is focused on the propriety of Soleno’s statements concerning the safety and commercial prospects of VYKAT™ XR and its repeated assurances about the commercial prospects for it.
On August 15, 2025, Soleno's disclosures came under question with the publication of a forensic research report by activist short seller Scorpion. In its report, Scorpion made several observations regarding VYKAT™ XR.
The firm noted a "rapid pile-up of reports of children hospitalized for potential heart failure" shortly after using the drug, leading Scorpion to conclude that VYKAT™ XR could be at risk of being withdrawn from the market or that new prescriptions might "plunge."
Scorpion further described Soleno as a "one-trick pony" with no other "meaningful assets, pipeline or scientific program." The report characterized Soleno's sole drug as an "inferior tablet version of a half-century old suspension," highlighting the risk of the company's demise if VYKAT™ XR were to fail, given that its core patent was set to expire in 2026.
Furthermore, Scorpion alleged that Soleno's "launch metrics are hocus-pocus," claiming that the company was highly dependent on a "controversial physician" in Gainesville, Florida, who was the lead investigator on key trials. The report suggested this physician might be an "invisible hand fueling initial start forms."
Finally, Scorpion raised concerns about the physician's co-authored papers, alleging that they "exhibit irregularities consistent with red flags for data integrity and adherence to scientific standards, casting doubt onto the validity of SLNO’s trials, publications, and FDA submissions."
This news drove the price of Soleno shares sharply lower on August 15, 2025.
“We’re investigating whether Soleno may have misled investors about the support it has said it has about the commercial prospects of VYKAT™ XR,” said Reed Kathrein, the Hagens Berman partner leading the investigation.

Synopsys, Inc. (SNPS) Shares Suffer Worst Day Ever Amid Q325 Results Revealing Problems With Major Foundry Customer -- Hagens Berman
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 25, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- On September 10, 2025, investors in Synopsys, Inc. (NASDAQ: SNPS) saw the price of their shares crater over $216 (-36%) after the company reported its Q3 2025 financial results and revealed significant problems with a major foundry customer.
The development has prompted national shareholders rights firm Hagens Berman to open an investigation into whether Synopsys may have misled investors about its customer risks and growth prospects.
The firm urges investors in Synopsys who suffered significant losses to submit your losses now. The firm also encourages persons with knowledge who may be able to assist in the investigation to contact its attorneys.

Synopsys, Inc. (SNPS) Investigation:
In the past Synopsys has assured investors that, while its largest customer (Intel) had reduced its R&D spend, “it does not impact generally the EDA software[]” and downplayed risks based on its “committed, non-cancellable” agreements with Intel involving a mix of EDA software, IP, and hardware.
The company’s assurances may have come into question on September 9, 2025, when Synopsys reported its Q3 2025 financial results and shockingly guided for Q4 2025 GAAP EPS of negative $0.27 to negative $0.16.
During the earnings call, management revealed the company’s underperformance in its IP business and said it was significantly due to “challenges at a major foundry customer” that is “also having a sizeable impact on the year[.]”
This news drove the price of Synopsys shares down 36% the next day, its worst-ever single-day percentage decline since going public in 1992.
“We’re investigating whether Synopsys may have misled investors about risks posed by its high concentration with a single customer,” said Reed Kathrein, the Hagens Berman partner leading the investigation.

Deadline Alert: SelectQuote, Inc. (SLQT) Shareholders Who Lost Money Urged To Contact Glancy Prongay & Murray LLP About Securities Fraud Lawsuit
LOS ANGELES, Sept. 25, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Glancy Prongay & Murray LLP reminds investors of the upcoming October 10, 2025 deadline to file a lead plaintiff motion in the class action filed on behalf of investors who purchased or otherwise acquired SelectQuote, Inc. (“SelectQuote” or the “Company”) (NYSE: SLQT) securities between September 9, 2020 and May 1, 2025, inclusive (the “Class Period”).
IF YOU SUFFERED A LOSS ON YOUR SELECTQUOTE INVESTMENTS, CLICK HERE TO INQUIRE ABOUT POTENTIALLY PURSUING CLAIMS TO RECOVER YOUR LOSS UNDER THE FEDERAL SECURITIES LAWS.
What Happened?
On May 1, 2025, the U.S. Department of Justice (“DOJ”) filed a False Claims Act complaint against SelectQuote, alleging, “[f]rom 2016 through at least 2021” SelectQuote received “tens of millions of dollars” in “illegal kickbacks” from health insurance companies in exchange for steering Medicare beneficiaries to enroll in the insurers’ plans. Further, SelectQuote, in exchange for kickbacks, engaged in a conspiracy with major insurers to illegally discriminate against beneficiaries deemed to be less profitable, including those with disabilities. The DOJ concluded that SelectQuote made materially false claims by stating it offers “unbiased coverage comparisons” when in fact it “repeatedly directed Medicare beneficiaries to the plans offered by insurers that paid them the most money, regardless of the quality or suitability of the insurers’ plans.”
On this news, SelectQuote’s stock price fell $0.61, or 19.2%, to close at $2.56 per share on May 1, 2025, on unusually heavy trading volume.
What Is The Lawsuit About?
The complaint filed in this class action alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements, as well as failed to disclose material adverse facts about the Company’s business, operations, and prospects. Specifically, Defendants failed to disclose to investors: (1) that the Company was directing Medicare beneficiaries to the plans offered by insurers that best compensated SelectQuote, regardless of the quality or suitability of the insurers’ plans; (2) that SelectQuote did not provided unbiased comparison shopping for Medicare Advantage insurance plans; (3) that SelectQuote received illegal kickbacks to steer Medicare beneficiaries to certain insurers and limit enrollment in competitors’ plans; (4) that as a result, SelectQuote had not complied with applicable laws, regulations, and contractual provisions; (5) that SelectQuote was vulnerable to regulatory and legal sanctions as a result of its conduct, including claims that it had violated the False Claims Act; and (6) that, as a result of the foregoing, Defendants’ positive statements about the Company’s business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis.
If you purchased or otherwise acquired SelectQuote securities during the Class Period, you may move the Court no later than October 10, 2025 to request appointment as lead plaintiff in this putative class action lawsuit.

Should Apple buy Intel's stock? These analysts suggest a better investment.
HomeIndustriesComputers/ElectronicsThe Ratings GameThe Ratings GameIntel reportedly approached Apple about an investment, but absent ‘obvious benefits’ to the smartphone giant, some analysts say the company would be better off just repurchasing more of its own stockPublished: Sept. 25, 2025 at 1:23 p.m. ET
Intel Corp. INTC reportedly has had early-stage talks about a potential investment from Apple Inc. But analysts at Bernstein see a better use for that hypothetical cash.
“Without obvious benefits to Apple … we would far prefer the company to buy back its own shares vs buying [Intel] shares,” Bernstein analysts said in a Thursday note to clients.

Amazon cuts $2.5B settlement with FTC over allegedly trapping customers in Prime subscriptions
Amazon has agreed to a $2.5 billion settlement with the Federal Trade Commission over charges that it knowingly trapped customers into paying for Prime subscriptions, the agency announced Thursday.
The ecommerce giant will pay a $1 billion civil penalty and pledge another $1.5 billion in refunds to customers who were harmed by its conduct, the FTC said in a release.
Amazon will also “cease unlawful enrollment and cancellation practices for Prime.”
About 35 million consumers were affected by Amazon’s alleged misdeeds.
Amazon will pay up to $51 per customer with a valid claim.
Amazon did not admit wrongdoing as part of the settlement. AP
The company, which could have faced even steeper fines and refunds if it had lost the case in court, will not admit to any wrongdoing as part of the settlement.
FTC Chairman Andrew Ferguson described the settlement – announced just three days after the jury trial began in Washington federal court – as a “record-breaking, monumental win for the millions of Americans who are tired of deceptive subscriptions that feel impossible to cancel.”
Amazon did not immediately return The Post’s request for comment.
“The evidence showed that Amazon used sophisticated subscription traps designed to manipulate consumers into enrolling in Prime, and then made it exceedingly hard for consumers to end their subscription,” Ferguson said in a statement.
“Today, we are putting billions of dollars back into Americans’ pockets, and making sure Amazon never does this again.”
Amazon was accused of trapping customers in Prime accounts. REUTERS
The FTC began looking into Amazon’s practices during President Trump’s first term in office and eventually filed suit in 2023 under then-chair Lina Khan, with the company and three of its executives named as defendants.
The agency alleged that Amazon enrolled millions of customers into costly Prime memberships without their consent and then purposefully made it difficult to cancel the accounts.
As part of the settlement, two of the executives — Neil Lindsay and Jamil Ghani – must refrain from unlawful conduct.
Amazon will be required to add a button to its website with obvious language for customers to decline signing up for Prime – rather than the current language of “No, I don’t want Free Shipping.”
The FTC said it was the second-biggest settlement in its history. AP
The company also must make it easier for existing customers to cancel their accounts and submit to third-party audits to ensure compliance with the settlement terms.
The Amazon case was one of several high-profile actions underway at the FTC, which is also attempting to break up Mark Zuckerberg’s Meta and recently sued Ticketmaster over high concert fees and allegedly turning a blind eye to bot activity on its website.
The $2.5 billion settlement is the second-largest ever secured by the FTC, the agency said.

Can Google overtake Nvidia as the world's most valuable company? Here's why that's not so crazy.
HomeIndustriesInternet/Online ServicesTech StocksTech StocksWall Street is slowly coming around to Google’s AI advantages, but one analyst is going so far as to say Alphabet is the ‘best-positioned’ company to dominate in AIPublished: Sept. 25, 2025 at 1:24 p.m. ET
Alphabet Inc. commands a nearly $3 trillion market capitalization, making it the fourth most valuable company in the world — but it’s still a ways behind the market leaders. Nvidia Corp., for instance, is worth $4.36 trillion.
MoffettNathanson analyst Michael Nathanson, however, thinks Alphabet GOOGL GOOG can leapfrog Microsoft Corp. MSFT, Apple Inc. AAPL and Nvidia NVDA to take the No. 1 spot. That would solidify a big turnaround for a company that just a few months ago was in Wall Street’s doghouse due to perceived disadvantages in artificial intelligence.

CrowdStrike's Scale And Profits Make It Rare Asset In Software: Analyst
CrowdStrike (NASDAQ: CRWD) is more competitively entrenched than ever in endpoint security while gaining traction in cloud protection and next-generation Security Information and Event Management (SIEM), according to recent customer feedback and discussions at Fal.Con 2025.
This expanding market dominance and an aggressive contract strategy have led analysts to project sustained, strong recurring revenue growth well into fiscal year 2027 and beyond.
Scotiabank analyst Patrick Colville upgraded CrowdStrike from Sector Perform to Sector Outperform and raised the price forecast from $440 to $600. CrowdStrike’s scale and profitability make it a rare asset in software, the analyst asserted.
Also Read: CrowdStrike Launches New AI Tools To Strengthen Cybersecurity, Expand Threat Detection
Colville upgraded CrowdStrike rating after extensive customer checks and in-person meetings with management at Fal.Con 2025.
The analyst argued that CrowdStrike has become more deeply entrenched in endpoint security, positioning itself to capture a large portion of the more than 50% market share not yet controlled by the top three vendors.
He emphasized that large enterprises increasingly want to consolidate their cybersecurity stacks, and CrowdStrike’s 31-module platform, delivered through a single agent and console, stands out as an attractive solution.
Colville highlighted that CrowdStrike responded effectively after the 2024 Falcon outage, retaining customers and aggressively discounting contracts to ensure long-term adoption.
In his view, these discounted modules are not “shelfware,” as customers reported quick time to value and little interest in switching at renewal. As contracts roll forward into fiscal 2027 and 2028, the analyst expects these commitments to provide a significant boost to annual recurring revenue (ARR).
Colville also pointed to strong customer momentum in newer areas such as vulnerability management, cloud security, and next-generation SIEM, which are beginning to displace incumbents.
The analyst noted fiscal 2027 as a major inflection point. Management has guided to more than 20% new ARR growth, slightly ahead of Street expectations, but he believes CrowdStrike could reach an “upside case” of 25–30% ARR growth.
At that pace, the company would rank among the fastest-growing software firms at scale, alongside Palantir (NASDAQ: PLTR), Snowflake (NYSE: SNOW), and Shopify (NASDAQ: SHOP), as per Colville.
The analyst views the disclosure on contra revenue, which should trim reported growth by less than 1%, as removing a key overhang.
He also noted management’s reaffirmed medium-term operating and free cash flow margin targets as evidence of durable profitability, even as incentive costs tied to the outage roll off.
Product announcements at Fal.Con reinforced Colville’s optimism. CrowdStrike’s push into AI for security, its Onum acquisition for telemetry pipelines, and new tools for securing agentic AI use could add growth catalysts over the medium term, as per the analyst.
He argued that as enterprises adopt more autonomous AI agents, they will need specialized security tools, giving CrowdStrike a right to win in this emerging space.
Colville projected third-quarter revenue of $1.21 billion and adjusted EPS of 95 cents.
Price Action: CRWD stock was trading higher by 0.13% to $476.96 at last check Thursday.
