About the Lawsuit

Hub Group and certain of its executives are charged with failing to disclose material information during the Class Period, violating federal securities laws.

On February 5, 2026, the Company disclosed that its financial statements and reports for the first three quarters of 2025 should not be relied upon due to "an error that resulted in the understatement of purchased transportation costs and accounts payable in the first nine months of 2025" and that it planned to restate the statements. On this news, the price of Hub Group shares fell approximately 18%, from $51.33 per share on February 5, 2026 to $41.96 on February 6, 2026.

Then, on May 12, 2026, the Company disclosed that it had "identified certain transactions that were prematurely or incorrectly recognized or not adequately supported," causing its 2023 and 2024 annual reports filed with the SEC to be "materially misstated," such that they should no longer be relied upon, and "expect[ed] to conclude that it did not maintain effective disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting for each of the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023." On this news, the price of Hub Group shares fell an additional 13%, from $41.86 per share at close on May 11, 2026 to $36.62 on May 12, 2026.

The case is Lawler v. Hub Group, Inc., et al, 26-cv-07596.

More Power. Built for the Ride. The redesigned speakers deliver up to 200 watts, direct-fit installation, and Element Ready™ durability.

, /PRNewswire/ -- Rockford Fosgate, the leader in high-performance audio systems, is proud to announce the next generation of TMS 5x7 motorcycle speakers. Purpose-built for riders who demand clear, powerful sound on the open road, the new TMS 5x7 platform combines enhanced mids, deeper bass, ultra-clear highs, and rugged construction engineered specifically for the motorcycle environment.

Rockford Fosgate, the leader in high-performance audio systems, is proud to announce the next generation of TMS 5x7 motorcycle speakers. Designed to transform the on-bike listening experience, the next-generation TMS 5x7 speakers deliver a balanced sound profile that remains dynamic and detailed at speed. Long-throw woofers, a large voice coil, and an extended frequency range work together to produce high output and deep, extended low-end response, giving music greater impact without sacrificing clarity.

"Motorcycle audio has to deliver in an environment where wind, road noise, heat, moisture, and vibration are always part of the ride," said Wayne Connolly, Vice President of Product Development. "With the next-generation TMS 5x7 speakers, we focused on more usable output, stronger bass performance, and direct-fit integration, while maintaining the Element Ready™ durability riders expect from Rockford Fosgate."

Precision-tuned for real-world riding, the TMS 5x7 platform is engineered to keep vocals, instruments, and low-frequency content clear and controlled as listening levels rise. The extended operating range supports louder, more dynamic playback, while the long-throw woofer design helps create the deeper bass response riders can feel as well as hear.

Performance is backed by an increase in power handling. Delivering up to 200 watts - twice the power of the previous generation - the speakers are built for serious output. A heat-resistant motor structure and integrated radiator ring efficiently dissipate heat, helping maintain consistent, powerful sound during long rides and demanding high-volume use.

Installation is engineered to be as seamless as the performance upgrade. The speakers provide direct drop-in fitment for factory mounting locations, helping installers and riders complete a clean upgrade without unnecessary modification. Model-specific grilles for Road Glide and Street Glide applications support a factory-integrated appearance that looks as refined as the system sounds.

Built as part of Rockford Fosgate's Element Ready™ lineup, the next-generation TMS 5x7 speakers are designed to stand up to the realities of the road. Water, dirt, UV exposure, and motorcycle vibration are addressed through premium materials and durable construction selected for long-term reliability in changing weather, rough road conditions, and extended highway use.

Whether upgrading a factory system or building a complete high-performance motorcycle audio setup, the next-generation TMS 5x7 Speaker Series brings together stronger output, balanced response, straightforward fitment, and proven environmental protection. The result is a purpose-built speaker platform designed to keep music powerful, clear, and dependable mile after mile.

Net earnings for the second quarter of 2026 were $1.82 million, reflecting an increase of $279 thousand, or an increase of 18%, compared to the same period last year. Basic and diluted earnings per share were $0.47 for the second quarter of 2026, up from $0.40 for the same quarter in 2025. Net earnings increased year-to-date by $613 thousand, or 21% to $3.51 million, as compared to $2.89 million for the same period last year. Net earnings per share year-to-date was $0.91 for the period ending June 30, 2026, as compared with $0.75 for the same period last year, also a 21% increase. Earnings per share for the current and prior year were adjusted for the 20 percent stock dividend, which was payable to shareholders of record as of June 18, 2026.

Dann H. Bowman, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated “We are very pleased with the Bank’s performance year-to-date and during the second quarter of 2026, which set new records for total Assets, total Deposits, total Loans, Net Earnings, and total Capital. Loan quality also remains very strong, with the Bank having only two delinquent loans, and no additional loan loss provision during the second quarter”.

“The Bank’s Merchant Services Program continues to be one of the Company's fastest-growing business lines. For the quarter ending June 30, 2026, card processing sales volume increased by $5 million or 37% to $18 million, compared with $14 million for the same quarter last year. On a year-to-date basis through June 30, 2026, card processing sales volume increased by $10 million or 38% to $36 million, as compared to $26 million for the same period last year”.

Financial Condition

As of June 30, 2026, total assets were $519 million, representing an increase of $25 million, or 5%, over $494 million on December 31, 2025. Total deposits rose by $21.4 million, or 5.8%, to $391.6 million, up from $370.2 million on December 31, 2025. Core deposits accounted for 96.1% of total deposits as of June 30, 2026.

Gross loans increased by $21.5 million, or 9.7%, totaling $242.1 million as of June 30, 2026, compared to $220.6 million as of December 31, 2025. At the end of the second quarter, the Bank reported only two delinquent loans totaling $303 thousand, and three nonaccrual loans totaling $1.2 million. As of June 30, 2026, the Bank had no Other Real Estate Owned (OREO) properties.

Earnings

The Company reported net interest income of $4.4 million for the three months ending June 30, 2026, compared to $3.8 million for the same period in 2025. Average interest-earning assets were $442.9 million, while average interest-bearing liabilities totaled $245.6 million, resulting in a net interest margin of 3.94% for the second quarter of 2026. This compares favorably with the prior year’s second-quarter margin of 3.68%, based on average interest-earning assets of $414.6 million and average interest-bearing liabilities of $221.9 million.

Non-interest income totaled $929.0 thousand in the second quarter of 2026, a decrease of 2.69% compared to $1.01 million in the first quarter of 2025. Most of the decrease was driven by Service Charges and Fees and Deposit Accounts of $141.6 thousand to $385.6 thousand. The above decrease was partially offset by an increase in Merchant Servicing processing of $85.9 million to $264.7 million.

General and administrative expenses totaled $2.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $2.7 million for the same period in 2025.

The Company’s core efficiency ratio decreased to 52.04% for the second quarter of 2026 compared to 55.25% for the same period last year. Mr. Bowman stated, “We continue to monitor our costs in the current inflationary environment”.

Income tax expense for the quarter was $712.6 thousand, reflecting an increase of $97.7 thousand, or 15.9%, compared to $614.9 thousand for the same period last year. The Company’s effective income tax rate was approximately 28.14% for the period ending June 30, 2026, and 28.53% for the same period last year.

New York, New York--(Newsfile Corp. - July 17, 2026) - Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP, a leading national securities law firm, is investigating potential claims against Peabody Energy Corporation ("Peabody Energy" or the "Company") (NYSE: BTU) and reminds investors of the August 24, 2026 deadline to seek the role of lead plaintiff in a federal securities class action that has been filed against the Company.

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 these 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 Peabody Energy's Centurion mine and the multitude of issues causing delays to the ramp-up and the return to full longwall production dates. Such statements absent these material facts caused Plaintiff and other shareholders to purchase Peabody Energy's securities at artificially inflated prices.

On March 30, 2026, Peabody Energy issued a press release lowering guidance pertaining to Centurion mine's expected first quarter 2026 output, announcing that sales volume from the Centurion mine was expected to deliver approximately 250,000 tons in the first quarter due to "greater-than-anticipated mine commissioning challenges" (compared to previous estimates of around 700,000 tons). On this news, Peabody Energy's stock price fell $3.82, or approximately 9.7%, to close at $35.68 per share on March 30, 2026.

On May 5, 2026, Peabody Energy issued a press release disclosing the Company's failure to ramp-up Centurion by the long-awaited March 2026 deadline and cutting guidance related to full year met segment volumes to reflect the increased cost and substantial volume decrease, reducing the full year sales outlook for Centurion to 2.5 million tons compared to the original expectation of 3.5 million tons. On this news, Peabody Energy's stock price fell $1.52, or 5.7%, to close at $25.00 per share on May 5, 2026.

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 Peabody Energy's conduct to contact the firm, including whistleblowers, former employees, shareholders and others.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) for Investors Regarding the Peabody Energy Securities Class Action Lawsuit:

What is the Peabody Energy securities fraud lawsuit about?

The lawsuit alleges that Peabody Energy Corporation (NYSE: BTU) and certain of its officers and directors made materially false and misleading statements and/or concealed material adverse facts concerning the true condition of the Company's Centurion mine, including the nature and severity of issues allegedly causing delays to its ramp-up and return to full longwall production. The complaint alleges that, throughout the Class Period, defendants provided investors with overwhelmingly positive statements about the Centurion mine while purportedly withholding information about the multitude of operational challenges affecting it. These allegedly false and misleading statements are said to have caused investors to purchase Peabody Energy securities at artificially inflated prices. The inflation in the stock price allegedly began to correct when Peabody Energy disclosed, on March 30, 2026, that first quarter 2026 output from the Centurion mine was expected to reach only approximately 250,000 tons — well below prior estimates of approximately 700,000 tons — due to "greater-than-anticipated mine commissioning challenges," and further when the Company disclosed on May 5, 2026 that it had failed to ramp up the mine by its March 2026 deadline and cut its full-year sales outlook for Centurion from 3.5 million tons to 2.5 million tons.

Who may be eligible to participate in the lawsuit?

Investors who purchased or otherwise acquired Peabody Energy Corporation (NYSE: BTU) securities on the NASDAQ between October 14, 2024 and May 4, 2026, inclusive, may be eligible to participate in this lawsuit as members of the proposed class. Eligibility to participate is not limited to investors who seek appointment as lead plaintiff; any qualifying class member may share in any recovery that may ultimately be obtained. Investors who purchased Peabody Energy securities during the Class Period and suffered losses are encouraged to review their transaction records to determine whether they fall within the defined class. Participation in a class action does not require that an investor take any individual legal action or incur separate legal fees to potentially benefit from any recovery achieved on behalf of the class.

What is a lead plaintiff, and how can I seek appointment?

A lead plaintiff is a court-appointed representative who acts on behalf of all class members in directing the litigation, including making key decisions regarding litigation strategy and the selection of lead counsel. Any class member who purchased Peabody Energy securities during the Class Period and suffered a loss may move the court for appointment as lead plaintiff, and courts typically appoint the movant with the largest financial interest in the outcome of the litigation who otherwise satisfies applicable legal requirements. The deadline to file a motion seeking appointment as lead plaintiff is August 24, 2026. Importantly, investors are not required to seek appointment as lead plaintiff in order to participate in the class and share in any recovery that may result from the litigation — class members who do not serve as lead plaintiff retain the ability to benefit from any settlement or judgment.

What should investors do if they purchased Peabody Energy stock during the Class Period?

Investors who purchased Peabody Energy Corporation (NYSE: BTU) securities between October 14, 2024 and May 4, 2026, inclusive, are encouraged to promptly review their brokerage records and account statements to confirm the dates and prices at which they acquired and, if applicable, sold their shares. Investors should take steps to preserve all relevant documentation, including transaction confirmations, account statements, and any communications relating to their Peabody Energy holdings, as such records may be relevant to establishing eligibility and calculating losses. Given that the lead plaintiff motion deadline is August 24, 2026, investors wishing to be considered for appointment as lead plaintiff should act well in advance of that date. Investors may wish to consult with Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP or other qualified securities counsel to evaluate their legal rights and options before the deadline.

Why should investors contact Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP?

Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP has represented investors in securities litigation for decades and has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for shareholders. Investors who purchased Peabody Energy securities during the Class Period may contact the firm to discuss their legal rights, potential claims, and the lead plaintiff process at no cost or obligation.

New York, New York--(Newsfile Corp. - July 17, 2026) - Kaplan Fox & Kilsheimer LLP announces that a class action lawsuit has been filed against AeroVironment, Inc. ("AeroVironment" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: AVAV) on behalf of investors that purchased or otherwise acquired AeroVironment securities between June 25, 2025 and March 10, 2026 (the "Class Period").

If you are an investor in AeroVironment and have suffered losses, you may CLICK HERE to contact us. You may also contact Kaplan Fox by emailing [email protected] or by calling (646) 315-9003.

DEADLINE REMINDER: If you are a member of the proposed Class, you may move the court no later than July 27, 2026 to serve as a lead plaintiff for the purported class. If you have losses we encourage you to contact us to learn more about the lead plaintiff process. You need not seek to become a lead plaintiff in order to share in any possible recovery.

On January 20, 2026, before markets opened, the Company reported in an 8-K filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission that "upon mutual agreement" of AeroVironment and the U.S. Government, "the U.S. Government issued a stop work order on the Company's Other Transaction Agreement for the delivery of BADGER phased array antenna systems to support the Satellite Communication Augmentation Resource ("SCAR") program." According to the filing, "[t]he stop work order allows for the parties to negotiate an amended agreement for the future of the SCAR program under new requirements for the program, which amendment is expected to be a firm-fixed price agreement. The Company expects to continue to deliver capabilities and products for the SCAR program."

Following this news, the price of AeroVironment stock declined $61.97 per share, or 15.77%, to close at $330.89 per share on January 20, 2026.

On March 10, 2026, after market, AeroVironment issued a press release, announcing third quarter 2026 financial results. The Company reported "operating loss of $179.0 million, compared to an operating loss of $3.1 million for the same period in fiscal year 2025." According to the complaint, "[t]hese financial results reflected the impact of a $151.3 million goodwill impairment in the Company's space division after the stop work order on the Company's BADGER systems built for the SCAR program." Additionally, according to the complaint "AeroVironment also reported that the U.S. Space Force had terminated the Company's contract concerning the SCAR program, and as a result, it would have to 'recompete' for the SCAR program."

Following this news, the price of AeroVironment stock fell $13.84 per share, or 6.24%, to close at $207.73 per share on March 11, 2026.

The complaint alleges, among other things, that throughout the Class Period, "Defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (i) AeroVironment understated the likelihood that it would imminently face competition from other vendors for the work it performed in connection with the SCAR program and the U.S. Space Force's ongoing efforts to modernize the SCN; (ii) accordingly, Defendants overstated AeroVironment's business and financial prospects; and (iii) as a result, Defendants' public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times."

On or around January 22, 2026, BitGo conducted its IPO, selling 11,821,595 shares of Class A common stock at the offering price of $18 per share.

On March 26, 2026, BitGo issued a press release announcing its fourth quarter and full year 2025 financial results. The Company reported a net loss of $14.8 million for 2025, compared to $156.6 million in net income for 2024, a quarterly margin of 0.21% in its Digital Asset Sales segment, compared to a quarterly margin of 0.47% in the prior year. BitGo stated that the change in its annual net loss was "materially driven by declines in digital asset prices impacting the Company's Bitcoin treasury."

Following this news, the price of BitGo stock fell $1.43 per share, over 15.71%, to close at $7.67 per share on March 27, 2026.

The Company reported a net loss of $60.7 million, compared to a net loss of $25.7 million in the same quarter one year earlier, stating that its quarterly net loss "was primarily driven by non-cash mark-to-market impacts related to the Company's Bitcoin treasury, as well as elevated IPO-related stock-based compensation expense."

Following this news, the price of BitGo stock fell $2.05 per share, over 17.2%, to close at $9.86 per share on May 14, 2026.

The complaint alleges, among other things, that throughout the Class Period, Defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that (i) Defendants understated the scope and severity of the risk that declining digital asset prices posed to Company's business and financial performance; (ii) consequently, Defendants' statements regarding, inter alia, BitGo's financial performance and business prospects lacked a reasonable basis; and (iii) as a result, the Offering Documents and Defendants' public statements throughout the Class Period were materially false and/or misleading and/or failed to state information required to be stated therein.

(Nasdaq: NMRK) ("Newmark" or the "Company"), a leading commercial real estate advisor and service provider to large institutional investors, global corporations and other owners and occupiers, today announced the Company has secured a long-term Property and Project Management assignment with leading institutional investor and developer 601W Companies, expanding the relationship through management of more than 21 million square feet of premier office assets across the U.S., including Chicago, New York, New Jersey and Los Angeles.

Newmark secured the assignment through a coordinated effort led by Jesse Van Dyke, Executive Vice President, Midwest Regional Market Leader, and Richard Holden, President, Property Management, who worked closely with 601W Companies to develop a customized program aligned with 601W Companies' operating philosophy, long-term growth objectives and evolving portfolio needs.

"This assignment reflects the continued execution of our strategy to expand Newmark's recurring revenue businesses while deepening relationships with many of the industry's most sophisticated owners," said Luis Alvarado, Chief Operating Officer. "Property management and project management are critical components of our fully integrated platform, creating opportunities to deliver long-term value for clients while strengthening the breadth and durability of our Investor Solutions business."

The 601W portfolio comprises more than 12 million square feet in Chicago and more than nine million additional square feet across key U.S. markets, including New York City, New Jersey and Los Angeles. Newmark has already begun providing services for 601W's property at 333 S Grand Avenue in Los Angeles.

"601W has been one of the most active buyers of commercial real estate in the United States over the past several years, having acquired or contracted to acquire more than 10 million square feet," said Holden. "That level of conviction reflects exactly the kind of forward-looking ownership we're proud to support."

Newmark will serve as a strategic operating partner across the portfolio, delivering customized Property and Project Management services through an integrated program designed to support 601W Companies' ownership objectives, enhance tenant experiences and drive operational performance across the portfolio.

"Having proactively managed our portfolio through COVID — including restructuring and extending financings across our assets — we are well positioned for long-term growth and focused firmly on the opportunities ahead. We were looking for a strategic partner with the platform, talent and flexibility to match that ambition, and we are excited to work with Newmark on our path forward," said Mark Karasick, Managing Member of 601W. "Newmark brings a level of professionalism and discipline, along with a customized operating model and a collaborative approach, that aligns with our objectives today while providing the scale to grow with us as we continue investing in premier assets across the country."

The assignment further reinforces the Company's ability to serve institutional owners with complex, high-profile portfolios across the United States and reflects continued momentum within Newmark's Management Services businesses, particularly in Chicago, where the portfolio has a significant presence.

"With a significant concentration of assets in Chicago and major holdings across other U.S. markets, this assignment highlights the value of combining deep local market knowledge with the resources and capabilities of our global platform," said Van Dyke.

DUOL is growing beyond languages with AI, but rising costs, slowing growth and monetization uncertainty could test execution in the near term.

New York, New York--(Newsfile Corp. - July 17, 2026) - Kaplan Fox & Kilsheimer LLP announces that a class action lawsuit has been filed against Badger Meter, Inc. ("Badger Meter" or the "Company") (NYSE: BMI) on behalf of investors that purchased or otherwise acquired Badger Meter securities between April 18, 2024 and April 16, 2026 (the "Class Period").

If you are an investor in Badger Meter and have suffered losses, you may CLICK HERE to contact us. You may also contact Kaplan Fox by emailing [email protected] or by calling (646) 315-9003.

DEADLINE REMINDER: If you are a member of the proposed Class, you may move the court no later than August 3, 2026 to serve as a lead plaintiff for the purported class. If you have losses we encourage you to contact us to learn more about the lead plaintiff process. You need not seek to become a lead plaintiff in order to share in any possible recovery.

On April 17, 2026, Badger Meter reported first quarter 2026 results, including a deceleration of sales. Specifically, total sales of $202.3 million for the quarter were "9% lower than the prior year's $222.2 million." Additionally, the Company stated with respect to its first quarter operating results that "Utility water sales declined 10% year-over-year, reflecting project timing and other softer short-cycle municipal ordering . . . ."

Following this news, the price of Badger Meter shares declined by $36.75 per share, or more than 24%, to close at $115.54 per share on April 17, 2026.

The complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants misrepresented the drivers of Badger Meter's "record" financial results, demand for the Company's products, and its prospects for continued growth. During the Class Period, Defendants allegedly told investors that Badger Meter's strong financial results reflected "ongoing favorable industry trends," "secular growth drivers," and "solid operating execution." They also allegedly touted "strong" demand and said they were seeing "robust order pacing and a strong bid pipeline that positions us well for continued sales and earnings growth," and that Badger Meter possessed a "long runway" for growth.

According to the complaint, in truth, "Badger Meter's financial results during the Class Period were at least partially attributable to the Company's practice of pulling-forward customer orders to recognize revenue early, which concealed weakening demand and deteriorating near-term order trends. This practice also depleted revenue otherwise available for future periods, ultimately causing the disappointing financial results the Company later reported."

OLDWICK, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--AM Best has commented that the Credit Ratings (ratings) of Vantage Risk Ltd. (Bermuda) and its affiliates, Vantage Risk Specialty Insurance Company and Vantage Risk Assurance Company (both domiciled in Wilmington, DE), which do business as Vantage Group, remain unchanged following an announced leadership change.

Marc Grandisson, former CEO of Arch Capital Group Ltd. [NASDAQ: ACGL], has been appointed executive chairman of Vantage Group Holdings Ltd. (Vantage). Additionally, David Gansberg, former president of Arch Capital Group Ltd., has been appointed CEO of Vantage. Grandisson’s appointment is effective immediately; however, Gansberg’s appointment will not take effect until June 2027. Until then, Grandisson will work with Vantage’s founding CEO, Greg Hendrick, through the transition.

The appointments offer additional experienced industry leadership to the Vantage Group. While the transition represents a notable governance change following Howard Hughes Holdings Inc.’s [NYSE: HHH] acquisition of Vantage, the group’s balance sheet strength, operating performance, business profile, and enterprise risk management assessments remain unchanged. Additionally, the outlooks of these ratings remain positive.

AM Best will continue to monitor the leadership transition through the remainder of Hendrick’s tenure and Gansberg’s transition into the new role, and potentially take rating action should any developments impact Vantage’s creditworthiness.

Key Takeaways CBOE leads on valuation, price gains, growth estimates and analyst sentiment.Recurring revenues and global diversification support CBOE's long-term growth.Nasdaq benefits from non-trading growth, technology expansion and strategic acquisitions. Rising market volatility, pro-growth U.S. policies under President Donald Trump, wider digital-asset adoption, exchanges’ continued diversification beyond traditional trading and increasing retail investor participation are set to shape the industry’s outlook. Against this backdrop, let’s assess which company offers stronger long-term growth prospects — Cboe Global Markets (CBOE - Free Report) or Nasdaq (NDAQ - Free Report) .

Cboe Global Markets holds a dominant position in the U.S. listed options market through its ownership of multiple options exchanges, consistently maintaining the industry's leading market share.

On the other hand, Nasdaq is a leading provider of trading, clearing, marketplace technology, regulatory, securities listing, information and public and private company services.

The Case for CBOECboe Global has developed a well-diversified business through acquisitions and international expansion. Its operations span European equities and derivatives, foreign exchange venues and clearing infrastructure, reducing dependence on any single asset class or geography. Recurring revenues from proprietary market data, index licensing and technology solutions provide stability during periods of softer trading activity, supported by attractive margins and high customer switching costs.

Strong volumes across index options, European equities and foreign exchange continue to support transaction-fee growth, while the Data Vantage segment is expanding recurring revenues. Reflecting this momentum, management raised its 2026 organic net revenue growth outlook to the low-double-digit to mid-teens range and increased its Data Vantage growth target to the low double digits.

Strategic acquisitions and investments are further expanding CBOE’s global reach, product offerings and capital markets infrastructure. The company is also pursuing opportunities in digital assets, carbon markets and next-generation trading technologies while launching innovative derivatives products to address evolving customer needs.

Meanwhile, management is streamlining the portfolio and improving efficiency. The planned divestitures of its Canada and Australia exchanges are expected to lower adjusted operating expenses in 2026.

Cboe Global’s disciplined capital allocation, strong balance sheet and robust free cash flow support growth investments and shareholder returns. The company has raised its dividend for 15 consecutive years and retains $569.4 million under its share-repurchase authorization, highlighting its commitment to returning capital to shareholders.

The Case for NDAQNasdaq operates a diversified business model extending well beyond its traditional exchange operations. Its Market Services segment, covering equities, options and derivatives, benefits from higher trading volumes and market volatility. Meanwhile, Market Technology is expanding annual recurring revenues through subscription-based products and long-term contracts. Cross-selling complementary solutions and integrating acquisitions are also strengthening customer retention and improving revenue visibility.

Organic growth is supported by Nasdaq’s expanding non-trading businesses, including Trading Services and Marketplace Technology, Data and Listing Services, Index, Workflow & Insights and Anti-Financial Crime solutions. These recurring revenue streams have increased the stability and resilience of its overall business mix.

Targeted acquisitions have strengthened Nasdaq’s competitive position by facilitating entry into Canadian equities, broadening its technology capabilities and enhancing market-surveillance offerings. The company is also using advanced technologies and artificial intelligence to modernize market infrastructure and develop innovative solutions for clients.

Nasdaq’s solid balance sheet and steady operating cash flows provide flexibility for shareholder returns and growth investments. Management plans to raise the dividend payout ratio to 35%-38% by 2027 and resume share repurchases to offset dilution related to the Adenza acquisition. Its capital-allocation priorities remain focused on reducing leverage, funding organic growth, pursuing strategic acquisitions, increasing dividends and executing buybacks.

Estimates for CBOE and NDAQ    The Zacks Consensus Estimate for CBOE’s 2026 and 2027 revenues implies a 15% and 2.9% year-over-year increase, respectively. EPS estimates for 2026 and 2027 imply a 27.1% and 5.5% year-over-year increase, respectively.  EPS estimates for 2026 and 2027 have moved up 1.5% and 1.6%, respectively, in the past 30 days.

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for NDAQ’s 2026 and 2027 revenues implies a 10.1% and 7.7% year-over-year increase, respectively. EPS estimates for 2026 and 2027 indicate a 12.6% and 13.4% year-over-year increase, respectively. EPS estimates for 2026 and 2027 have moved up 1% and 2.1%, respectively, in the past 30 days.

Price Performance of CBOE and NDAQCBOE shares have gained 10.7% year to date, while NDAQ shares have lost 3% in the same time.

Are CBOE and NDAQ Shares Expensive?CBOE is trading at a forward 12-month price-to-earnings multiple of 20.1, lower than its median of 27.1 over the past five years. NDAQ’s forward 12-month price-to-earnings multiple sits at 22.71, slightly higher than its median of 22.19 over the past five years.

Image Source: Zacks Investment Research

ConclusionA diversified business mix with recurring revenues, accelerated growth banking on recurring non-transaction revenues, use of technology and prudent buyouts poise CBOE well for growth.

Nasdaq is set to grow on impressive organic growth, an increasing on-trading revenue base and strategic buyouts to capitalize on market opportunities. Nasdaq’s focus on Market Technology and Information Services businesses helps explore vast opportunities through its developmental strategies.

Price appreciation, valuation, growth estimate and analyst sentiment give CBOE an edge over NDAQ. CBOE carries a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) and has a VGM Score of A. NDAQ carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) and has a VGM Score of C. Thus, CBOE is better placed than NDAQ.  You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.

JBHT's earnings growth, estimate revisions and intermodal gains support its rally, but a premium valuation and thin liquidity demand discipline.

Key Takeaways DOCS is expanding AI with rising physician use and early AI Search contracts with top-20 pharma companies.Doximity's Clinical AI Suite now serves 140 health systems, supporting retention and cross-selling.DOCS expects AI investment to trim margins as regulatory reviews delay meaningful revenue contribution. Doximity (DOCS - Free Report) is entering a pivotal phase as it accelerates investments in artificial intelligence to expand beyond its core physician engagement platform. While robust physician adoption, growing enterprise AI deployments and exceptional cash generation strengthen its long-term outlook, a sluggish pharma advertising market, rising AI investments and commercialization risks could temper near-term financial performance.

Shares of this Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) company have lost 49.8% so far this year compared with the industry's 5.6% decline and the S&P 500 Index’s 10.9% rise.

Doximity, with a market capitalization of $4.07 billion, is a global specialty medical device company.

DOCS’ bottom line is estimated to improve 3.8% over the next five years. Its earnings beat estimates in each of the trailing four quarters, delivering an average surprise of 7.99%.

Image Source: Zacks Investment Research

What's Driving DOCS’ Performance?AI Platform Is Rapidly Becoming Doximity's Next Major Growth Engine: Doximity is positioning artificial intelligence as its largest long-term monetization opportunity. Since acquiring Pathway, AI Search and AI Scribe users have tripled, while nearly half of all active prescribers now use the company's AI tools.

Management has already signed its first AI Search contracts with top-20 pharmaceutical companies and believes AI Search alone represents a multibillion-dollar incremental addressable market beyond its existing pharma advertising business. The combination of physician engagement, hospital adoption and early customer interest suggests Doximity is building a differentiated AI ecosystem that could materially expand revenues over the next several years rather than simply enhancing existing products.

Deepening Health System Integration: Doximity's growing integration into hospital workflows is making its platform increasingly indispensable to physicians. Nearly half of all U.S. doctors now work at health systems using Doximity's workflow or scheduling tools, while 140 health systems, including seven of the top 20 U.S. hospitals, have adopted its Clinical AI Suite.

Management emphasized that more than 250,000 prescribers now access AI capabilities through HIPAA-compliant enterprise deployments, creating a significant barrier for competitors. As hospitals increasingly prioritize secure AI environments over public AI tools, Doximity's trusted infrastructure, physician network and enterprise relationships should support higher customer retention and expanding cross-selling opportunities across workflow, telehealth and AI solutions.

Record Physician Engagement: Doximity continues to strengthen the core asset underpinning its business — physician engagement. Workflow usage increased approximately 30% year over year, reaching more than 800,000 quarterly active prescribers, representing one of the strongest engagement accelerations in the company's history. AI usage is growing even faster, with users nearly doubling their monthly query activity since January.

Higher engagement not only strengthens customer loyalty but also increases the value of Doximity's advertising, workflow and AI offerings to pharmaceutical companies and health systems. Management believes sustained engagement growth will eventually translate into stronger revenue expansion, particularly as new AI-powered commercial products become more widely adopted across its physician network.

What’s Weighing on DOCS Stock?Core Pharma Advertising Market Remains Weak: The biggest near-term challenge for Doximity remains the soft healthcare professional (HCP) digital advertising market. Management acknowledged continued policy uncertainty, macroeconomic risks and shorter pharmaceutical budgeting cycles, causing many customers to delay spending commitments and favor shorter-duration contracts.

The company expects the overall HCP digital advertising market to grow only around 5% or less during fiscal 2027, significantly below historical levels. Although Doximity continues to outperform many peers, sluggish industry spending limits visibility and reduces opportunities for traditional advertising growth. Until pharmaceutical companies regain confidence and commit to longer-term marketing budgets, revenue acceleration is likely to remain constrained.

AI Monetization Will Pressure Margins: While AI represents Doximity's largest long-term opportunity, management expects fiscal 2027 to be an investment year rather than a significant earnings contributor. The company plans to substantially increase spending on AI compute, engineering talent, brand marketing, and product development, resulting in adjusted EBITDA margins declining from 55% in fiscal 2026 to approximately 49% in fiscal 2027.

Management also expects minimal AI revenue contribution during the first half because regulatory reviews and customer implementation timelines will delay commercialization. Consequently, the company could face a period of elevated expenses without commensurate revenue growth, increasing execution risk if AI adoption progresses more slowly than anticipated.

Commercial Success Depends on Regulatory and Customer Adoption of AI: Although customer interest in AI Search appears strong, commercialization remains at a very early stage. Management acknowledged that pharmaceutical companies must complete extensive medical, legal and regulatory reviews before campaigns can be deployed, creating longer implementation timelines than traditional advertising products.

Because Doximity launched the commercial offering only recently, management expects most of the financial benefits to materialize in the second half of fiscal 2027. Delays in regulatory approvals, customer onboarding, or campaign execution could defer revenue recognition. Given management's expectation that AI Search will become a major future growth driver, slower-than-expected commercialization would likely weigh on investor expectations.

Estimate TrendThe Zacks Consensus Estimate for fiscal 2027 revenues is pegged at $670.2 million, implying growth of 3.9% from the year-ago reported figure. The consensus mark for adjusted EPS is pinned at $1.39, indicating a decline of 8.6% from the previous year’s recorded level.

In the past 60 days, DOCS’ earnings estimate for fiscal 2027 has remained stable.

Intuitive Surgical has an estimated long-term earnings growth rate of 14.3%. ISRG’s earnings surpassed estimates in each of the trailing four quarters, the average surprise being 16.8%.

Cardinal Health reported a third-quarter fiscal 2026 adjusted EPS of $3.17, which beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 13.2%. Revenues of $60.94 billion missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 2.3%.

Cardinal Health has an estimated long-term earnings growth rate of 17%. CAH’s earnings surpassed estimates in each of the trailing four quarters, the average surprise being 10.3%.

Key Takeaways Reddit is expanding AI through Google and OpenAI partnerships, boosting licensing revenues and relevance. RDDT improved ads, search and feeds with AI, as Q1 2026 search weekly active users rose 30% year over year. Reddit expects Q2 2026 revenues of $715-$725M as AI investments support top-line growth. Reddit (RDDT - Free Report) is benefiting from accelerating momentum in its AI initiative, which is increasingly positioning it as a foundational resource in the modern Internet landscape. With more than 25 billion posts and comments and nearly 500 million weekly users, Reddit’s platform is uniquely positioned to provide real human perspectives, an essential resource for both AI model training and genuine user engagement.

A key driver of this momentum is Reddit’s strategic partnerships with leading AI companies such as Google and OpenAI. These collaborations generate direct licensing revenues and reinforce Reddit’s relevance as a source of high-quality, diverse data for large language models. The company highlighted that it remains the most-cited source in AI citations across platforms, and that its data is among the most-searched on Google.

Reddit is leveraging AI and machine learning to enhance its own platform. The company has invested heavily in machine learning talent and infrastructure, focusing on improving the user experience through better content recommendations, faster onboarding and more relevant feeds. Reddit’s ad stack now integrates AI-driven automation and optimization, resulting in measurable improvements for advertisers, such as a 17% reduction in cost per action and a 25% increase in conversions for those using AI-powered campaign features.

Reddit’s AI-driven product improvements are enhancing user experience and engagement. The company has focused on upgrading its talent and infrastructure, particularly in machine learning, to improve core features such as feed relevance, onboarding and search. In the first quarter of 2026, search weekly active users were up 30% year over year, and new AI-powered features like bot verification and machine translation are making the platform more accessible and secure.

Reddit’s AI strategy is expected to benefit the company by driving its top-line growth. For the second quarter of 2026, management expects revenues to be in the range of $715 million to $725 million.

RDDT Faces Stiff CompetitionRDDT is facing stiff competition from competitors like Meta Platforms (META - Free Report) and Snap (SNAP - Free Report) . Both Meta Platforms and Snap are also expanding their footprint in the AI space.

Meta Platform is benefiting from its accelerating growth into artificial intelligence (AI), which is driving significant top-line growth. Meta Platform’s release of the Muse family of models and the upgraded Meta AI assistant has positioned the company as a leader in personal superintelligence, with billions of users now accessing these AI-powered features. This surge in AI-driven engagement is translating directly into top-line growth, as evidenced by a 33% year-over-year increase in total revenues to $56.3 billion for the first quarter of 2026.

Snap has introduced a suite of AI-powered advertising tools to help brands create, optimize and personalize campaigns on Snapchat. New features include AI-assisted campaign setup, image-to-video generation, creative enhancement, conversational AI Sponsored Snaps and creator marketplace automation, aimed at improving engagement, commerce and advertising performance across its platform.

Nebius Group (NASDAQ:NBIS | NBIS Price Prediction) shares are up 8% to $186 in Friday afternoon trading, rebounding after Thursday’s 14% plunge that closed the stock at $171.77. The catalyst: Nebius’s first-ever senior secured debt facility, a deal designed to fund its AI buildout without new share issuance.

The move stands out because the broader tape is soft. The Invesco QQQ Trust (NASDAQ:QQQ) was tracking lower, underscoring that this is an idiosyncratic, positive catalyst rather than a beta rally. Nebius stock remains up 117% year to date.

Today’s price action follows a rough ride on Thursday, July 16, with Nebius sinking as the neocloud trade unraveled. Today’s rebound directly addresses the dilution fear at the heart of that selloff.

Debt Deal Eases the Dilution Overhang According to the company’s announcement, Nebius landed a $775 million loan backed by GPU hardware already deployed in its data centers plus cash flows from an existing customer contract. The structure converts revenue-generating infrastructure into fresh growth capital, and Nebius says it can be replicated.

The importance is straightforward. Nebius had guided to $22.5 billion in 2026 capital expenditures, and how to fund that number was the central investor question. By tapping asset-backed debt instead of equity, Nebius answers the bear thesis from Thursday head-on. The company also cited more than $40 billion in additional contracted revenue from investment-grade customers, including Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) and Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:META), and confirmed it remains on track with its Microsoft capacity deployment.

Nebius’s $2 billion pre-funded warrant investment from NVIDIA (NASDAQ:NVDA) remains the anchor validation for its GPU fleet. NVIDIA stock was little changed during Friday’s afternoon session.

CoreWeave Wrote the Playbook CoreWeave (NASDAQ:CRWV) is the closest neocloud pure-play, and it used the same approach earlier this year. Per the reporting, CoreWeave closed an $8.5 billion asset-backed delayed-draw term loan to fund its GPU buildout. Asset-backed debt has effectively become the sector’s preferred way to finance AI infrastructure without diluting shareholders.

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

CoreWeave shares tell the other side of the story. CoreWeave stock is up 1% Friday but is down 44% over the past year as debt-load concerns and profitability questions have weighed on the name. Nebius’s positive EBITDA profile has become a key differentiator in that comparison.

A Diversified Way to Play the Theme For investors who want AI infrastructure exposure without single-stock volatility, the Global X Data Center and Digital Infrastructure ETF (NASDAQ:DTCR) is worth a look. The ETF doesn’t hold Nebius or CoreWeave and skews toward established data-center REITs, plus chipmakers like NVIDIA.

The trade-off is clear. The DTCR ETF sacrifices direct AI-compute leverage for lower volatility, and single-sector concentration risk remains.

Bull and Bear Cases: What to Watch The bull case is that non-dilutive, asset-backed financing answers the dilution worry, reinforces Nebius’s capital-efficiency narrative, and comes on top of the NVIDIA anchor and a large contracted revenue book. Retail sentiment reflects that, with r/stocks activity hitting a very bullish sentiment score of 82 during and after the announcement window.

The bear case is that Nebius still adds secured leverage against its GPU fleet, its trailing P/E ratio of 70x is elevated, and today is a one-day bounce after a brutal month. The neocloud derating could resume.

Given NBIS stock’s high-beta profile, position sizing matters here. Investors can watch for whether Friday’s gains hold into the close, updates on the Meta Platforms contract ramp, and the Q2 FY2026 report for the next capacity milestones.

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

Key Takeaways Satellogic has an edge over Planet Labs on valuation, price appreciation and growth projections.Planet Labs ended fiscal Q1 2027 with backlog up 72% to more than $906 million.Satellogic's Merlin constellation is fully funded, anchored by a $30 million defense contract. The Earth Observation (EO) space is transitioning from a satellite imagery business to a geospatial intelligence market, fueled by advances in artificial intelligence, growing defense investments and increasing demand for climate monitoring. Governments are expanding their use of commercial EO data to support national security and strategic decision-making, while enterprises are leveraging satellite-based analytics across agriculture, infrastructure, energy, and environmental management. At the same time, the industry is shifting toward subscription-based data and analytics platforms, enabling providers to generate more predictable, recurring revenue streams while delivering higher-value insights to customers.

In this context, Planet Labs (PL - Free Report) and Satellogic Inc. (SATL - Free Report) are worth mentioning. Planet Labs is a leading provider of Earth-imaging data and geospatial analytics, operating the largest fleet of Earth-observation satellites globally.  Satellogic is a vertically integrated Earth observation company that designs, manufactures, and operates satellite systems, delivering decision-grade insights at scale to government and commercial customers. Let's discuss in detail.

The Case for Planet LabsPlanet Labs generates most of its revenues from fixed-price subscription agreements and usage-based contracts, providing satellite imagery and geospatial analytics to governments and large enterprises through its cloud-based platform. Its growth has been supported by an expanding subscription base, stronger government demand and a strategic shift toward higher-value satellite services and advanced analytics.

The company exited the first quarter of fiscal 2027 with backlog surging 72% year over year to more than $906 million, strengthening revenue visibility and supporting expectations for accelerating growth. Management forecasts fiscal 2027 revenues of $425-$441 million.

Planet Labs is increasingly targeting large government and defense contracts, which provide greater revenue stability and longer-term visibility. While this segment remains the primary growth engine, management also sees considerable long-term potential in the commercial market. Continued platform enhancements should support wider adoption, while AI-powered analytics, originally developed for government customers, are opening opportunities across supply-chain monitoring, surveillance, operational optimization, insurance, financial analysis, energy and agriculture.

However, Planet Labs remains unprofitable. Investments in satellite infrastructure, heavy research and development spending and elevated operating costs continue to constrain margins. Following five consecutive years of losses, the company is expected to remain in the red through fiscal 2027, while returns on equity and invested capital trail industry levels. Management expects fiscal 2027 non-GAAP gross margin of 52-54% and adjusted EBITDA between breakeven and $10 million, suggesting that consistent profitability remains some distance away.

PL shares have gained 12% year to date.

The Case for SatellogicSatellogic provides affordable, scalable satellite imagery that addresses rising demand across government, defense, agriculture, energy, insurance and infrastructure markets. As governments and enterprises increasingly rely on timely Earth intelligence for decision-making, the company appears well-positioned to capitalize on multiple long-term growth opportunities.

Its proprietary manufacturing capabilities, vertically integrated operating model and low-cost satellite architecture distinguish Satellogic from traditional providers. By designing, manufacturing and operating its own satellites, the company can reduce production and operating costs, accelerate deployment and upgrade its constellation more frequently. As the network expands, improved revisit rates, image quality and global coverage should enhance the value of its data offerings and support commercial adoption.

The next-generation Merlin constellation should further strengthen Satellogic’s position across government and commercial geospatial intelligence markets. Importantly, Merlin is fully funded, with its development anchored by a $30 million contract from a strategic defense and intelligence customer. The agreement demonstrates confidence in the company’s technology while improving revenue visibility.

Strategic partnerships and expanded analytics capabilities could also broaden Satellogic’s addressable market beyond raw imagery into higher-margin geospatial intelligence solutions. The company expects to progress toward sustained profitability this year, supported by a solid backlog, increasing recurring revenues from Aleph Observer and a strengthening pipeline of multimillion-dollar opportunities across defense, sovereign and commercial customers.

SATL shares have rallied 90.9% year to date.

Estimates for PL and SATLThe Zacks Consensus Estimate for PL’s fiscal 2027 revenues implies a year-over-year increase of 41.9%, while the same for earnings per share (EPS) suggests a 75% year-over-year decrease. EPS estimates have witnessed no movement in the past 30 days.

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for SATL’s 2026 revenues implies a year-over-year rise of 122.3%, and the same for EPS implies no year-over-year change.  EPS estimates have witnessed no movement in the past 30 days.

Are PL and SATL Shares Expensive?PL is trading at a forward sales multiple of 15.72, above its median of 4.97 over the last five years. SATL’s forward sales multiple sits at 10.49, lower than its median of 12.71 over the last five years.

Image Source: Zacks Investment Research

ConclusionPlanet Labs, a data-driven company focused on Earth-observation imagery and analytics, is poised to grow, given the rising global demand for commercial satellites.

Satellogic is well-positioned to benefit from rising defense spending, growing demand for geospatial intelligence and increasing adoption of AI-driven analytics.

Given SATL’s less expensive valuation, price appreciation and growth projections, it has an edge over PL. SATL carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold), while PL carries a Zacks Rank #4 (Sell).
