NEW YORK, July 14, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Pomerantz LLP announces that a class action lawsuit has been filed against AeroVironment, Inc. (“AeroVironment” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: AVAV) and certain officers. The class action, filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, and docketed under 26-cv-01429, is on behalf of a class consisting of all persons and entities other than Defendants that purchased or otherwise acquired AeroVironment securities between June 25, 2025 and March 10, 2026, both dates inclusive (the “Class Period”), seeking to recover damages caused by Defendants’ violations of the federal securities laws and to pursue remedies under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder, against the Company and certain of its top officials.
If you are an investor who purchased or otherwise acquired AeroVironment securities during the Class Period, you have until July 27, 2026, to ask the Court to appoint you as Lead Plaintiff for the class. A copy of the Complaint can be obtained at www.pomerantzlaw.com. To discuss this action, contact Danielle Peyton at [email protected] or 646-581-9980 (or 888.4-POMLAW), toll-free, Ext. 7980.

AeroVironment operates as a defense technology provider delivering integrated capabilities across air, land, sea, space, and cyber.
On May 1, 2025, AeroVironment announced it had completed the acquisition of BlueHalo, LLC (“BlueHalo”), a defense technology firm specializing in advanced engineering products, in an all-stock transaction with an enterprise value of approximately $4.1 billion.
Three years earlier, BlueHalo had been awarded a $1.4 billion contract to deliver BADGER phased array antenna systems (a type of advanced ground-terminal system used to track satellites), to support the United States Space Force’s Satellite Communication Augmentation Resource (“SCAR”) program. The BADGER would be a bespoke product designed for the United States (“U.S.”) Space Force, according to its specifications. This contract value subsequently increased to $1.7 billion.
The SCAR program represents the U.S. Space Force’s efforts to modernize antennas used by the Satellite Control Network (“SCN”), which is comprised of 19 fixed antennas across the world and executes tasks such as tracking satellites, transmitting signals, and conducting telemetry, or accessing data from satellites to assess their status and health.
In an April 2023 report, the U.S. Government Accountability Office described the SCN as “aging and difficult to maintain.” The U.S. Space Force has described the purpose of the SCAR program as modernizing the aging SCN by introducing phased array antennas to the network that boast newer capabilities, such as the ability to communicate with more than one satellite simultaneously.
During the Class Period, Defendants consistently assured investors that the SCAR program would drive revenue growth for AeroVironment moving forward. Among other items, Defendants stated that the SCAR program represented a “tremendous growth opportunity,” that AeroVironment’s work pursuant to the contract was “very much on track,” that the customer was “asking for more [BADGER systems],” and that the Company stood “ready to build more.”
The complaint alleges that, throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and misleading statements regarding the Company’s business, operations, and prospects. Specifically, Defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (i) 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 January 20, 2026, AeroVironment announced that the U.S. government had issued a stop work order on the Company’s agreement to deliver BADGER systems to the SCAR program. In the same announcement, AeroVironment stated that the stop work order “allows for the parties to negotiate an amended agreement for the future of the SCAR program” and that “[t]he Company expects to continue to deliver capabilities and products for the SCAR program.”
On this news, AeroVironment’s stock price fell $61.97 per share, or 15.77%, to close at $330.89 per share on January 20, 2026.
Then, on March 2, 2026, Space News reported that the U.S. Space Force was reopening the SCAR program and “reassessing how to move forward.” Space News quoted Colonel Owen Stevens, director of contracting at the Space Rapid Capabilities Office, which supervised SCAR, as stating, “We have been in conversations with the [senior acquisition executive] for a little while now, and we are going to move into a new acquisition strategy for SCAR.”
On this news, AeroVironment’s stock price fell $43.93 per share, or 17.42%, to close at $208.32 per share on March 2, 2026.
Then, on March 10, 2026, AeroVironment announced its financial results for the third quarter of fiscal year 2026. Among other items, AeroVironment reported a third-quarter operating loss of $179.0 million, compared to an operating loss of $3.1 million for the same period in fiscal year 2025. These 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. 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.
On this news, AeroVironment’s stock price fell $13.84 per share, or 6.24%, to close at $207.73 per share on March 11, 2026.
On March 31, 2026, the U.S. Space Force announced its decision to diversify suppliers and rely on less costly commercial, off-the-shelf solutions in connection with its work to upgrade the SCN, instead of pursuing another single-vendor bespoke solution.

CASE ALLEGATIONS: AeroVironment designs, develops, produces, delivers, and supports a portfolio of robotic systems and related services for government agencies and businesses. The AeroVironment class action lawsuit alleges on May 1, 2025, AeroVironment announced it had completed the acquisition of BlueHalo, LLC, which had previously been awarded a contract to support the U.S. Space Force's Satellite Communication Augmentation Resource ("SCAR") program. The SCAR program represents the U.S. Space Force's efforts to modernize antennas used by the Satellite Control Network ("SCN"), which is comprised of 19 fixed antennas across the world and executes tasks such as tracking satellites, transmitting signals, and conducting telemetry, or accessing data from satellites to assess their status and health, according to the complaint.
The AeroVironment class action lawsuit alleges that defendants throughout the Class Period 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; and (ii) accordingly, defendants overstated AeroVironment's business and financial prospects.
The AeroVironment class action lawsuit further alleges that on January 20, 2026, AeroVironment announced that the U.S. government had issued a stop work order on AeroVironment's agreement to deliver BADGER systems to the SCAR program. In the same announcement, AeroVironment allegedly stated that the stop work order "allows for the parties to negotiate an amended agreement for the future of the SCAR program" and that "[t]he Company expects to continue to deliver capabilities and products for the SCAR program." On this news, the price of AeroVironment stock fell nearly 16%, according to the complaint.
Then, on March 2, 2026, SpaceNews allegedly reported that the U.S. Space Force was reopening the SCAR program and "reassessing how to move forward." Space News quoted Colonel Owen Stevens, director of contracting at the Space Rapid Capabilities Office, which supervised SCAR, as stating: "We have been in conversations with the SAE [senior acquisition executive] for a little while now, and we are going to move into a new acquisition strategy for SCAR," the complaint alleges. On this news, the price of AeroVironment stock fell more than 17%, according to the complaint.
Finally, on March 10, 2026, the complaint alleges that AeroVironment announced its financial results for the third quarter of fiscal year 2026. Among other items, AeroVironment allegedly reported a third-quarter operating loss of $179.0 million, compared to an operating loss of $3.1 million for the same period in fiscal year 2025. These financial results reflected the impact of a $151.3 million goodwill impairment in AeroVironment's space division after the stop work order on AeroVironment's BADGER systems built for the SCAR program, according to the AeroVironment class action lawsuit. AeroVironment also allegedly reported that the U.S. Space Force had terminated AeroVironment's contract concerning the SCAR program, and as a result, it would have to "recompete" for the SCAR program. On this news, the price of AeroVironment stock fell more than 6%, the complaint alleges.
THE LEAD PLAINTIFF PROCESS: The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 permits any investor who purchased or acquired AeroVironment securities during the Class Period to seek appointment as lead plaintiff in the AeroVironment class action lawsuit. A lead plaintiff is generally the movant with the greatest financial interest in the relief sought by the putative class who is also typical and adequate of the putative class. A lead plaintiff acts on behalf of all other class members in directing the AeroVironment class action lawsuit. The lead plaintiff can select a law firm of its choice to litigate the AeroVironment class action lawsuit. An investor's ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff of the AeroVironment class action lawsuit.

[Click here for information about joining the class action]
On April 21, 2026, after the market closed, Calix reported results for the first quarter of 2026 earnings, including that “[n]on-GAAP gross margin was 57.2%, a decrease of 80 basis points sequentially.” Further, the Company reported gross margin guidance for the second quarter of 2026 is “55.8% (at the midpoint) is down 140 basis points from the previous quarter. This decline is primarily due the increase in memory component costs.” In an accompanying earnings call on the same day, Calix’s Chief Financial Officer, Cory Sindelar, said that “advanced purchasing had allowed us to avoid higher memory component costs during the first quarter. However, that advanced supply has run its course, and we now face market prices.” Sindelar further revealed that, “reflecting the effects of higher memory component costs,” “[f]or the year, we expect our non-GAAP gross margin to decline between 50 and 150 basis points.”
On this news, Calix’s stock price fell $6.93 per share, or 13.98%, to close at $42.65 per share on April 22, 2026.

New York, New York--(Newsfile Corp. - July 14, 2026) - WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers of securities of Calix, Inc. (NYSE: CALX) between January 28, 2026 and April 21, 2026, inclusive (the "Class Period"), of the important July 27, 2026 lead plaintiff deadline.
SO WHAT: If you purchased Calix securities during the Class Period you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement.
WHAT TO DO NEXT: To join the Calix class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/cases/calix-inc/join or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email [email protected] for information on the class action. A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than July 27, 2026. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation.
WHY ROSEN LAW: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources, or any meaningful peer recognition. Many of these firms do not actually handle securities class actions, but are merely middlemen that refer clients or partner with law firms that actually litigate the cases. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm has achieved the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered billions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs' Bar. Many of the firm's attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers.
DETAILS OF THE CASE: According to the lawsuit, throughout the Class Period, defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) Calix's first quarter margins had significantly benefited from advanced purchasing of memory components; (2) Calix's advanced supply of memory components was dwindling; (3) as a result, Calix was experiencing negative margin pressure as it was forced to purchase memory components at rising market prices; and (4) as a result of the foregoing, defendants' positive statements about Calix's margins, business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.
To join the Calix class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/cases/calix-inc/join or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email [email protected] for information on the class action.
No Class Has Been Certified. Until a class is certified, you are not represented by counsel unless you retain one. You may select counsel of your choice. You may also remain an absent class member and do nothing at this point. An investor's ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff.

Director E. Philip Wenger sold 5,000 shares of Fulton Financial Corporation (FULT +0.17%) on July 13, 2026, according to a recent SEC Form 4 filing.
Transaction summaryMetricValueTransaction value$120,700Shares sold (indirectly held)5,000Post-transaction shares (directly held)583,918Post-transaction shares (indirectly held)75,936Post-transaction value$15.95 millionKey questionsHow does this transaction affect the director's overall equity position?
The sale of 5,000 shares reduced Wenger’s total holdings from 664,854 shares to about 660,000 shares, representing a minor liquidation of the director's broader position.What were the specific entities involved in the indirect transaction?
The shares were sold from indirect holdings that include 75,477 shares held by an IRA and 459 shares held for the benefit of children; the director also maintains direct ownership of about 584,000 shares, which includes roughly 121,000 shares held jointly with a spouse.What mechanism governed the timing of this disposal?
This sale was completed under a Rule 10b5-1 plan established on June 13, 2025, a mechanism that allows insiders to schedule trades in advance to manage liquidity needs without regard to subsequent non-public information.What is the recent performance context for the company's shares?
The shares were sold at a weighted average price of $24.14, during a period where the stock has delivered a 26% total return over the 12 months ending July 13, 2026.Company OverviewMetricValueShare Price (as of market close 2026-07-13)$24.17Market Capitalization$4.6 billionRevenue (TTM)$1.3 billionNet Income (TTM)$393.4 millionCompany SnapshotFulton Financial Corporation operates as a diversified regional banking institution offering comprehensive deposit products including checking and savings accounts, certificates of deposit, and Individual Retirement Accounts, alongside secured consumer credit products such as home equity loans, automobile financing, and personal lines of credit.The company generates revenue through net interest income from lending activities, deposit-based operations, and fee-based services provided to both retail and commercial banking customers across its regional footprint.Fulton Financial serves individual consumers and business clients seeking traditional banking services, with a focus on relationship-based banking within its regional markets.Fulton Financial Corporation is a regional banking holding company with $4.6 billion in market capitalization and approximately 3,400 employees. The company maintains a diversified revenue base through traditional banking operations, generating $1.3 billion in TTM revenue with net income of $393.4 million, reflecting solid operational profitability within the regional banking sector. As a community-focused financial institution, Fulton competes through localized customer relationships and comprehensive product offerings tailored to regional market needs.
What this transaction means for investorsWenger set this plan back in June 2025, and the 5,000 shares barely dens a position of roughly 660,000 held across an IRA, family accounts, and direct ownership. When a long-tenured director, and former CEO, sells a fraction of a percent on a schedule set a year earlier, there's not really a big message to it. One nuance worth noting: He's chairman emeritus, so this is a founder-adjacent insider trimming, not an operating executive signaling anything about the outlook.
Meanwhile, Fulton is executing steadily. First-quarter operating earnings came in at $0.55 per share, and net interest margin held roughly flat at 3.58%. Management has been returning capital aggressively, buying back about $24.5 million in stock during the first quarter, and just folded in its Blue Foundry Bancorp acquisition to deepen its New Jersey footprint. Now, with second-quarter results due July 22, the things that actually matter are whether margins hold as rate cuts arrive and how smoothly the Blue Foundry deal integrates.

What Is The Lawsuit About?
The complaint filed alleges that, between April 18, 2024 and April 16, 2026, Defendants failed to disclose to investors that: (1) 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; (2) this practice also depleted revenue otherwise available for future periods, ultimately causing the disappointing financial results the Company later reported; and (3) as a result, Defendants' positive statements about the Company's business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times.

DigitalOcean: Consistent Revenue StepsDigitalOcean (DOCN +2.51%) provides a global cloud computing environment that delivers on-demand infrastructure and developer tools to individuals and small businesses.
It launched an inference engine for agentic workloads in April 2026, while reporting 6% net income margin for the quarter ended March 31, 2026.
Datadog: Scaling Top-Line GrowthDatadog (DDOG +3.98%) offers a cloud-based monitoring and analytics solution that automates infrastructure oversight and application tracking for developers and operations personnel.
It introduced hardware tracking capabilities in April 2026, and posted 5% net income margin for the quarter ended March 31, 2026.

Data as of July 13, 2026.
Foolish TakeExamining the revenue trends for DigitalOcean and Datadog reveal they are excellent companies for investors seeking tech stocks to add to their portfolios. Both are experiencing rising revenue, with every quarter’s sales exceeding the last. That’s quite an accomplishment to maintain consistently over time.
Alongside its outstanding revenue growth, DigitalOcean notched accomplishments recently that make it a compelling investment. It was added to the Russell 1000 Index at the end of June. On July 7, it announced that it expects sales growth to accelerate to 29% year over year in the second quarter, an improvement over Q1’s 22% year-over-year increase.
Datadog’s business is also looking impressive as Q1 revenue reached $1 billion, representing a strong 32% jump up from the previous year. Achieving that kind of growth when its sales are so much higher than DigitalOcean’s is noteworthy, indicating its business is booming. This makes sense since artificial intelligence relies on data to function, and that’s Datadog’s bread and butter, making its platform an attractive choice for customers.
It’s ideal to own shares in both, since the expansion of the AI market provides a multi-year tailwind for these businesses.

BOSTON, July 14, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Block & Leviton announces that a securities fraud lawsuit has been filed against Planet Fitness, Inc. (NYSE: PLNT) and certain of its executives. Investors who have lost money in their Planet Fitness, Inc. investment should contact the firm to learn more about how they might recover those losses. For more details, visit https://blockleviton.com/cases/plnt.
What is this all about?
The lawsuit alleges Planet Fitness told investors during the class period that its "We Are All Strong on This Planet" marketing campaign was resonating and had "legs to extend into 2026," expressed confidence in a planned national Black Card price increase to $29.99, and reaffirmed its FY2026 guidance and a new three-year growth plan. The complaint alleges the company concealed that its marketing had pivoted too far toward fitness-minded consumers and was alienating its core beginner customers, dragging down new member joins. On May 7, 2026, Planet Fitness slashed its same-store sales growth guidance from 4–5% to approximately 1%, withdrew its three-year growth targets, paused the Black Card price increase, and acknowledged that its marketing had "pivoted too far" and alienated core customers. On this news, the company's stock fell about 31% in a single day, from $63.96 to $44.01, causing substantial losses for investors.
Who is eligible?
Anyone who purchased Planet Fitness, Inc. common stock between November 6, 2025, and May 6, 2026, and has seen their shares fall may be eligible, whether or not they have sold their investment. Investors should contact Block & Leviton to learn more.
What should you do next?
The deadline to seek appointment as lead plaintiff is September 14, 2026. A class has not yet been certified, and until a certification occurs, you are not represented by an attorney. If you choose to take no action, you can remain an absent class member. If you've lost money on your investment, you should contact Block & Leviton to learn more via our case website, by email at [email protected], or by phone at (888) 256-2510.

SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)---- $PLNT #Fitness--Robbins LLP informs stockholders that a class action was filed on behalf of all investors who purchased or otherwise acquired Planet Fitness, Inc. (NYSE: PLNT) common stock between November 6, 2025 and May 5, 2026. Planet Fitness is one of the largest franchisors and operators of fitness centers in the world by member count and location footprint.For more information, submit a form, email attorney Aaron Dumas, Jr., or give us a call at (800) 350-6003.The Allegations:.
NEW YORK, July 14, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The following statement is being issued by Levi & Korsinsky, LLP:
To: All persons or entities who purchased or otherwise acquired common stock of Planet Fitness, Inc. (“Planet Fitness” or the “Company”) (NYSE: PLNT) between November 6, 2025, and May 6, 2026, inclusive. You are hereby notified that the class action lawsuit Norie Matsunaga v. Planet Fitness, Inc., et al. (Case No. 1:26-cv-00576) has been commenced in the United States District Court for the District of New Hampshire. To get more information go to:
or contact Joseph E. Levi, Esq. either via email at [email protected] or by telephone at (212) 363-7500. There is no cost or obligation to you.
According to the complaint, defendants provided overwhelmingly positive statements to investors while, at the same time, disseminating materially false and misleading statements and/or concealing material adverse facts concerning the true state of Planet Fitness’ customer acquisition and marketing metrics. Notably, the Company’s updated marketing messaging was failing to resonate with, and was actively intimidating, its core target demographic of fitness beginners and casual gym-goers. As a result, Planet Fitness was experiencing a significant headwind in net member joins during its peak first-quarter sign-up period that rendered its previously issued fiscal 2026 guidance and long term financial targets unachievable.
On May 7, 2026, Planet Fitness announced its financial results for the first quarter of fiscal year 2026, revealing that its critical peak sign-up period was off to a slower-than-expected start internally. Management slashed full-year 2026 growth guidance, notably slashing same-store growth from 4-5% to only 1%, and completely withdrew its long-term three-year growth algorithm it had introduced just six months prior. Planet Fitness attributed these results to an over-pivoted marketing campaign that failed to resonate with its core customer base, alongside external competition, macroeconomic, and weather related impacts. Management then announced they were pausing the planned national rollout of the Black Card price increase to prioritize revitalizing new membership growth.
Following this news, the price of Planet Fitness’ common stock declined dramatically. From a closing market price of $63.96 per share on May 6, 2026, Planet Fitness’ stock price fell to $44.01 per share on May 7, 2026, a decline of about 31.19% in the span of just a single day.
“Our firm is committed to ensuring that investors receive full compensation for losses caused by corporate misrepresentations,” said Joseph E. Levi, a partner at Levi & Korsinsky. “We encourage PLNT shareholders to step forward before the September 14, 2026 deadline so we can pursue justice on their behalf.”
If you suffered a loss in PLNT common stock, you have until September 14, 2026 to request that the Court appoint you as lead plaintiff. Your ability to share in any recovery doesn’t require that you serve as a lead plaintiff.
WHY LEVI & KORSINSKY: Over the past 20 years, the team at Levi & Korsinsky has secured hundreds of millions of dollars for aggrieved shareholders and built a track record of winning high-stakes cases. Our firm has extensive expertise representing investors in complex securities litigation and a team of over 70 employees to serve our clients.

Robert I. Blum, president & CEO of Cytokinetics, Incorporated (CYTK 0.43%), reported a sale of 7,500 shares of common stock on July 13, 2026, according to an SEC Form 4 filing.
Transaction summaryMetricValueTransaction value$615,150Shares sold7,500Post-transaction shares (directly held)377,820Post-transaction shares (indirectly held)4,166Post-transaction value$31.41 millionTransaction value based on SEC Form 4 weighted average sale price ($82.02); post-transaction value based on July 13, 2026 market close ($82.24).
Key questionsWhat were the mechanics of this transaction?
The transaction involved the exercise of 7,500 stock options at a strike price of $10.60 per share, with the resulting equity immediately sold at a weighted average price of $82.02.Who manages the indirect equity holdings reported in this filing?
The 4,166 shares held indirectly are divided between the Bridget Blum 2003 Irrevocable Trust and the Brittany Blum 2003 Irrevocable Trust, which both hold 2,083 shares.What is the scale of the insider's remaining exposure?
In addition to the 381,986 shares of common stock held across direct and indirect accounts, the CEO continues to hold 186,745 derivative securities.Company OverviewMetricValueShare Price (as of market close 2026-07-13)$82.24Market Capitalization$10.2 billionRevenue (TTM)$105.8 millionNet Income (TTM)-$829.6 millionCompany SnapshotCytokinetics is a biopharmaceutical company that discovers, develops, and commercializes novel muscle activators and muscle inhibitors for the treatment of debilitating diseases, with MYQORZO, a cardiac myosin inhibitor for symptomatic obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, serving as its primary marketed product.The company generates revenue through the commercialization of its proprietary therapeutic compounds, including MYQORZO and pipeline candidates such as Aficamten and omecamtiv mecarbil, which target cardiac and skeletal muscle disorders.Cytokinetics' primary customers are healthcare providers and patients with rare genetic and acquired cardiac conditions, with a strategic focus on the treatment of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and related muscle-mediated diseases in the United States and international markets.Cytokinetics operates as a clinical-stage to commercial-stage biopharmaceutical enterprise with a market capitalization of roughly $10 billion, leveraging its proprietary muscle biology platform to develop targeted therapeutics for unmet medical needs in cardiac and skeletal muscle disorders. The company has achieved significant clinical validation with MYQORZO's market approval and maintains a robust pipeline of investigational compounds, positioning it as a specialized player in the rare disease and cardiology therapeutic space.
What this transaction means for investorsThis sale ultimately looks like a CEO cashing in some deep-in-the-money options right as his company's first drug launch takes off, which isn’t a signal to worry about. Blum still holds nearly 382,000 shares across direct and indirect accounts, plus 186,745 options, so the overwhelming majority of his exposure is untouched. With the stock up 110% over the past year, a CEO converting cheap options on a fraction of his stake is just diversification, plain and simple.
The reason he's holding the rest is probably the launch itself and a lot of traction since. Cytokinetics booked its first U.S. product revenue in the first quarter, $4.8 million from MYQORZO in roughly nine weeks, with more than 275 doctors prescribing it to about 680 patients. The pivotal ACACIA-HCM trial also hit both primary goals, opening a path to expand the drug's use, and about $1.1 billion in cash funds the rollout. Blum called the launch a significant opportunity ahead. The firm has since launched the drug in Germany, as of last month, and gross proceeds of $805 million from an offering of common stock. Second-quarter earnings should provide clarity into how things have fared.
Jonathan Ponciano has no position in any of the stocks mentioned. The Motley Fool has positions in and recommends Cytokinetics. The Motley Fool has a disclosure policy.

Key questionsWhat was the regulatory basis for this transaction?
The sale was conducted under a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan established by Michael George Rosenbaum on October 14, 2025. These plans allow corporate insiders to schedule share sales in advance to meet liquidity needs while maintaining compliance with insider trading regulations.How significant is the insider's remaining direct equity position?
Following this transaction, the Chief Executive Officer continues to hold nearly 195,000 shares of common stock directly. This position is valued at $27.36 million based on the market close price of $140.31 on July 13, 2026.What are the core business operations of Guidewire Software?
Guidewire Software serves as a global provider of software solutions for the property and casualty insurance industry, offering platforms such as InsuranceSuite and InsuranceNow to manage core operations, including policies, billing, and claims.What is the company's recent financial performance?
Guidewire Software reported trailing twelve-month revenue of $1.4 billion and net income of $159.8 million. The company currently maintains a market capitalization of $11.3 billion as of the July 10 market close.Company OverviewMetricValueShare Price (as of market close 2026-07-10)$136.13Market Capitalization$11.3 billionRevenue (TTM)$1.4 billionNet Income (TTM)$159.8 millionCompany SnapshotGuidewire Software provides comprehensive software solutions for the property and casualty insurance industry, with primary offerings including Guidewire InsuranceSuite (featuring PolicyCenter, BillingCenter, and ClaimCenter applications) and Guidewire InsuranceNow, a cloud-native platform for integrated policy, billing, and claims administration.The company operates a subscription and SaaS-based business model, generating revenue through software licensing, cloud services, and professional services engagements that support implementation and customization of its platforms for client insurers.Guidewire's primary customers are property and casualty insurance carriers of varying sizes, ranging from regional and mid-market insurers to large national and international insurance enterprises seeking to modernize their core operational systems.Guidewire Software is a market-leading provider of digital transformation solutions for the global insurance industry, with a market capitalization of $11.3 billion and TTM revenue of $1.4 billion. The company maintains a competitive advantage through its specialized expertise in insurance-specific workflows and its comprehensive, integrated platform approach that addresses the full spectrum of policy, billing, and claims operations. Guidewire's strategic positioning in the high-growth insurance software market reflects strong demand for cloud-based, modernized systems among insurers navigating digital transformation imperatives.
What this transaction means for investorsRosenbaum parted with 1,200 shares under a plan he set in October while still holding nearly 195,000 shares worth about $27 million. That's a trim of well under 1% and the kind of scheduled liquidity a CEO takes without it saying anything about the business. He’s been making such small sales on a roughly weekly basis for the past few months, but unless the selling intensifies, it doesn’t really signal too much.
Meanwhile, Guidewire has been performing solidly despite a steep 37% decline in its stock price over the past year, as many firms in the software space deal with increased investor scrutiny over ARR growth and guidance. The firm’s fiscal third-quarter revenue jumped 27% to $373 million, annual recurring revenue climbed 19% to $1.147 billion, and subscription revenue grew 35% as insurers kept migrating their core systems to its cloud. The company landed cloud wins in the quarter and raised its full-year revenue outlook to as high as $1.47 billion. On the earnings call, Rosenbaum told investors "it could be a record Q4” but investors are clearly hoping for more.

Brookfield Corporation (BN +0.69%) has been quietly building an investment-led insurance platform. This strategy has provided it with a growing source of perpetual capital to invest, enabling it to generate more fee-based income. The company has grown its insurance portfolio to over $180 billion in assets.
That's only the beginning. Here's why insurance is becoming Brookfield's next growth engine.
Image source: The Motley Fool.
Quietly building an insurance behemoth one deal at a time Brookfield initially formed its dedicated insurance platform in 2021 with the creation and spinoff of Brookfield Asset Management Reinsurance Partners, which it later renamed Brookfield Wealth Solutions (BNT +0.78%). The company initially created a separate insurance arm to grow that platform. It has certainly done that over the past five years.
The biggest growth driver has been acquisitions. Brookfield Wealth Solutions bought American National ($5.1 billion in 2022), Argo ($1.1 billion in 2023), AEL ($4.3 billion in 2024), and Just Group ($3.2 billion in 2026). These deals have helped grow its total capital from $5.7 billion in 2022 to $19.8 billion at the end of last year, while increasing its insurance assets from $45 billion to over $180 billion. Meanwhile, its distributable earnings have skyrocketed from $30 million in 2021 to $1.7 billion last year.

Only the beginning Brookfield is about to embark on the next phase of its investment-led insurance growth strategy by recombining with Brookfield Wealth Solutions. Shareholders will vote on the deal later this week, which the company hopes to close by year-end. The combination will simplify its corporate structure, provide its insurance operations with greater access to Brookfield's corporate balance sheet, and give it greater flexibility to optimize its long-term expansion.
The company aims to grow its insurance assets to $350 billion by 2030. While Brookfield plans to continue making acquisitions, it expects organic growth to do most of the heavy lifting going forward. It sees a combination of the recently closed Just Group deal, annuity growth, and asset rotation and optimization of its existing insurance assets, boosting the distributable earnings of its wealth solutions platform to $4.8 billion by 2030. Meanwhile, it anticipates that future acquisitions will push this segment's earnings up over $5.5 billion.
That's a meaningful growth engine for the leading global investment firm. Brookfield currently expects the combined company to grow its earnings at a 25% compound annual rate through 2030. The company anticipates its wealth solutions business to contribute 34% of its total earnings growth during that period. That's the biggest growth driver, well ahead of the growth contribution it expects from capital allocation (23%), carried interest (22%), asset management (19%), and its operating businesses (2%).
Brookfield has quietly built up a leading insurance platform over the past few years. That business has become a major growth driver for the company. It will play a starring role in supporting Brookfield's plans to deliver 25% compound annual earnings growth through 2030. That robust earnings growth should significantly boost Brookfield's stock, which it expects will be worth about $140 by 2030. With its share price currently in the low-$40's, Brookfield's high-powered insurance-driven growth profile makes it look like one of the best financial stocks to buy and hold for the long term right now.

Key questionsWhat is the significance of the Rule 10b5-1 plan used for this transaction?
The sale was pre-arranged under a plan adopted on July 14, 2025, which established a nearly one-year cooling-off period before execution to ensure the trade was independent of any non-public information.How has the stock performed leading up to this disposal?
As of July 10, 2026, the transaction date, the firm’s shares have generated a one-year return of 295%, providing a high valuation environment for structured liquidity events.What is the insider's residual equity exposure following this sale?
Schingler maintains a significant interest in the company, holding ~1.1 million shares across direct and indirect accounts, representing a 0.3200% ownership stake.What additional equity incentives does the insider hold?

Despite current net losses as the company scales operations, Planet Labs' recurring revenue model and expanding customer base position it as a critical infrastructure provider in the aerospace and defense sector.
What this transaction means for investorsSince the sale was prearranged and Schingler still has a pretty major ownership stake in Planet Labs, investors shouldn’t pay too close of attention to this transaction. That said, PL stock itself has been a fairly wild ride, offering investors a high-risk, high-reward proposition.
While Planet Labs reached positive free cash flow generation in recent quarters, the company still presents numerous headwinds for prospective investors, such as its:
continuous and growing capital expendituresimmense competition from rocket-launching peersneed for ongoing shareholder dilutionlack of vertical integrationlofty valuation at 24 times salesYes, there is a world where PL stock overcomes these worries and becomes a key cog in the Earth observation and satellite niche, which could become immensely valuable. I even believe the company offers multibagging potential if things break right for it. However, it remains a growth story left for the most risk-tolerant of investors. I understand the company’s appeal -- especially as it starts processing data in space while integrating AI into its operations -- but for now I’d rather only hold a small starter position in the company as opposed to making it any major holding anytime soon. I’d rather let it grow into a full position if things work out.

Shares of Core Scientific (CORZ 2.73%) were up 75.8% in the first half of 2026, according to data from S&P Global Market Intelligence. After the cancellation of its merger with CoreWeave, the power provider for data centers keeps securing long-term contracts, which are helping the business transition away from being a Bitcoin miner.
The stock is up 2,000% over the last three years alone and is considered a massive winner in the era of artificial intelligence (AI). Here's why Core Scientific stock was rising in the first half of 2026, and whether you should consider adding shares to your portfolio right now.

Long-term power contracts Core Scientific used to operate as a cryptocurrency miner, an industry that requires massive amounts of electricity but has fallen out of favor as cryptocurrency prices have sunk to the gutter. Lucky for Core Scientific, another sector that needs massive amounts of electric power is AI, specifically data centers.
Instead of assembling and operating these data centers itself, Core Scientific provides the power "shell" for these facilities, working as a subcontractor to secure electric power, while its customers, such as CoreWeave, actually build the computing racks for these AI systems. Because of this close relationship in the same sector, CoreWeave actually tried to merge with Core Scientific last year for $8.7 billion, but that deal fell apart.
The company is now considered an AI winner, with electric power now one of the major bottlenecks to increasing data center capacity. As of last quarter, Core Scientific had just raised $3.3 billion in bonds and had a pipeline of power capacity of up to 4.5 gigawatts. Revenue grew to $115 million in the quarter, driven mainly by colocation data center revenue reaching new heights. If the AI data center buildout continues at its current rate, Core Scientific will likely see nice growth in the years ahead.

Is there still time to get in on Core Scientific stock? After its meteoric rise this year, Core Scientific currently trades at a market cap of $7 billion. Over the last twelve months, it has generated just $355 million in revenue and burned $471 million in free cash flow due to its massive capital investments.
This puts the stock at a premium multiple. Revenue may grow explosively in the years ahead, but there is no telling what the unit economics of this business will look like, or how durable the AI data center buildout will be. For these reasons, it is probably best to avoid Core Scientific stock going forward.

Rob Bonta is leading California and 11 other states in a lawsuit against David Ellison's Paramount Skydance. Sarah Reingewirtz/MediaNews Group/Los Angeles Daily News via Getty Images; Patrick T. Fallon/AFP via Getty Images Rob Bonta, California's attorney general, says it's not his job to protect Hollywood giants from the rise of Netflix and other streaming insurgents.
This week, Bonta and 11 other attorneys general sued Paramount Skydance to stop its deal to buy Warner Bros. Discovery. Paramount says it needs the deal to compete with tech giants in streaming and transition to a new media model.
Bonta told Business Insider that's irrelevant to his antitrust case.
"We're indifferent to — I guess, from a legal perspective — what markets are growing, which ones are shrinking," Bonta said in an interview. "Maybe the theater market is shrinking, the cable market is shrinking, the streaming market is growing. We don't have a specific opinion on that in this case. And we're not trying to help one grow or stop one from shrinking."
Bonta said his suit focuses on how Paramount's WBD deal could affect market concentration in three areas: distribution of wide-release movies, distribution of big-budget blockbuster films, and licensing of cable channels.
Bonta argues that buying WBD would give David Ellison's Paramount too much power over theater owners, pay-TV distributors, and — by extension — consumers. He's seeking a preliminary injunction, or a temporary court order to pause the Paramount-WBD transaction.
"They'll be able to dictate terms with the theaters," Bonta said. "They'll be able to ask for more money. The theaters will have to pay more. That means raised costs for moviegoers."
Paramount says its merger would create "a stronger competitor against dominant streaming and technology platforms who have harmed the market for theatrical exhibition and jobs in the entertainment industry."
Bonta believes controlling Paramount Pictures and Warner Bros. Studios would make Ellison's company too powerful. Mel Melcon / Los Angeles Times via Getty Images Bonta said that his lawsuit isn't about the streaming business and said Paramount's point about tech giants like Netflix and Amazon is a "distraction and a deflection."
"The streaming market is not one of the markets that we've identified as a market that will create so much market concentration by the merger that it will be unlawful under the Clayton Act," Bonta said. He added that Ellison and company "want Netflix to be the black cat, but Netflix is not part of our case."
A supercharged Paramount-WBD would control HBO, CBS, and CNN; streamers HBO Max, Paramount+, and Pluto TV; TV networks like TNT, HGTV, and Comedy Central; and two major film studios in Paramount Pictures and Warner Bros. Studios.
Star actors and directors like Ben Stiller have also spoken out against the deal, which the US Department of Justice has already approved, warning that the tie-up would result in "fewer opportunities for creators."
Corey Martin, a lawyer who's chair of the entertainment finance practice at Los Angeles-based Granderson Des Rochers, told Business Insider that Bonta's decision to exclude streaming from the market concentration calculation was a "novel approach."
"It's hard to envision this deal in its totality without considering streaming," Martin said, given that "streaming is the driver for the deal."

The race to build AI infrastructure has turned electrical equipment providers into the bedrock of the digital age. Investors are now deciding between nVent Electric (NVT +2.38%) and Vertiv Holdings (VRT 0.74%) to power their portfolios.
While both companies specialize in protecting and cooling critical systems, they operate at different scales. nVent focuses on connecting and protecting sensitive equipment across diverse industries, while Vertiv provides the full stack of digital infrastructure for hyperscale data centers.
The case for nVent ElectricnVent Electric designs and manufactures electrical solutions that connect and protect sensitive equipment in data centers, utilities, and commercial buildings. The company is a key player among industrial stocks through its focus on liquid cooling and protective enclosures for high-demand AI environments. Note that its largest customer accounted for roughly 11% of consolidated net sales in late 2025, and such customer concentration adds a layer of risk to the business.
In FY 2025, revenue reached nearly $3.9 billion, representing growth of approximately 30% compared to the previous year. Net income for the same period was $710.2 million, a significant increase from the $331.8 million reported in 2024. This growth reflects the company's successful pivot toward data center infrastructure and its move away from older business lines like thermal management.
As of its December 2025 balance sheet, the debt-to-equity ratio was roughly 0.5x. This metric compares total debt to the value of shareholder equity, indicating a relatively conservative use of debt. Free cash flow, or cash from operations minus capital expenditures, was $427.5 million for the fiscal year.
The case for Vertiv HoldingsVertiv provides critical power and cooling infrastructure for data centers, communication networks, and industrial environments. The company serves massive tech giants such as Microsoft Corp (MSFT 1.46%) and Amazon.com Inc (AMZN +0.18%), who require specialized infrastructure for high-performance computing. At the end of 2025, Vertiv reported a backlog of roughly $15 billion, highlighting the sustained demand for its AI-optimized power and cooling solutions.
In FY 2025, revenue grew by close to 28% to reach approximately $10.2 billion. Net income for the period was more than $1.3 billion, up from approximately $496 million in the prior fiscal year. This expansion is primarily driven by the massive capital expenditure cycles of hyperscale and cloud providers building out new data center capacity.
According to its December 2025 balance sheet, Vertiv had a debt-to-equity ratio of roughly 0.9x. Free cash flow for the year was nearly $1.9 billion, providing significant capital to reinvest into research and development for next-generation cooling technologies.
Risk profile comparisonnVent Electric faces risks related to global economic cycles and industrial capital spending, which can cause revenue to fluctuate. The company also competes in a crowded market against rivals like Eaton Corp (ETN +3.25%), where pricing pressure can impact net margin. Furthermore, its global operations are exposed to tariff volatility and potential supply chain disruptions that could harm financial performance if not managed effectively.
Vertiv carries risk due to its high customer concentration, as a large portion of its revenue depends on a few hyperscale and neocloud providers. If these major customers shift their technology priorities or reduce capital spending, Vertiv could face significant pricing pressure. Additionally, the company operates under long-term, fixed-price contracts, in which inaccurate cost estimates or project delays can lead to penalties and lower operating margins.
Valuation comparisonVertiv trades at a higher valuation than nVent Electric, reflecting its larger market share in hyperscale data center cooling and higher expected growth in future earnings estimates.
MetricnVent ElectricVertivSector BenchmarkForward P/E35.0x49.0x242.8xP/S ratio6.0x11.0xSector benchmark uses the SPDR XLI sector ETF.
Valuation metrics sourced from Financial Modeling Prep (FMP) and may differ from other data providers.
Vertiv has been a specialist in computer cooling systems since World War Two, and it also offers complementary products for mission-critical technological infrastructure, such as uninterruptible power supplies. The AI-driven data center boom presents a long-term opportunity for Vertiv, especially for its liquid cooling systems. Liquid cooling is better for quickly removing heat from high-powered chipsets. Vertiv believes one-third of the total addressable market for data center cooling will eventually use liquid solutions (technically, some air-cooling and heat-dissipation systems will always be needed to work in tandem with liquid systems).
For 2026, Vertiv revenue should rise 36% to $13.9 billion with a commensurate rise in net income as AI data center demand powers the business.
Similarly, for nVent, AI datacenter demand has been a supercycle for the business. The company has a backlog of some $2.6 billion in contracts with giants like Nvidia Corp (NVDA +4.08%). Close to one-third of nVent’s sales last year were tied to AI data centers, a figure that will probably rise in 2026. That should boost revenue to $5 billion, up 28% over 2025. But higher raw material costs are crimping the bottom line at nVent this year, and mean net income will decline 12%, to $624 million.
Both nVent and Vertiv have pole positions in the liquid cooling market for AI applications, but the superior sales and net income growth of Vertiv make it the pick for investors looking to profit off the trend in 2026.

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg. Bloomberg/Getty Images Meta used AI-powered workplace systems to penalize employees for taking medical and parental leave and then selected them for layoffs, according to allegations in a new lawsuit.
The complaint, filed by 26 current and former workers on Monday in federal court in Northern California, alleges that Meta relied on AI-assisted tools and employee-monitoring data to score and rank workers before cutting about 8,000 jobs in May.
The plaintiffs allege that the process relied on metrics such as work output, software development activity, and AI tool usage that employees could not accrue while on protected leave. By failing to adjust those measurements for time away, the suit alleges, Meta effectively recorded medical leave, maternity leave, and disability-related reductions in output as underperformance.
"Meta did not assemble the termination list through the considered judgment of managers who knew the work," the complaint says.
Instead, the employees allege, the company relied on systems including its internal AI chatbot, Metamate; AI usage dashboards; employee-trained "second-brain" agents designed to reproduce parts of a worker's output; activity-monitoring data; and AI-assisted performance and calibration tools.
They allege that Meta ranked employees using internal AI-adoption categories such as "AI Native," "AI First," and "AI Enabled," and that employees' scores declined when they were away from work. The allegations have not been tested in court.
"These claims lack merit and are not based on facts," a Meta spokesperson told Business Insider. "Workforce management and organizational decisions were and are made by people, not AI."
The case comes as Meta has pushed employees to use AI more heavily and tracked adoption through internal dashboards and leaderboards. Other major companies, including Disney, JPMorgan, and Visa, have also begun measuring employee AI usage.
The lawsuit against Meta referenced internal AI programs the company introduced this year. Meta had installed software on many US employees' computers to capture keystrokes and mouse movements as training data for its AI models, prompting employee protests over privacy and the program's mandatory nature, Business Insider reported in April. The lawsuit alleges that data from this monitoring program also helped feed Meta's layoff-selection systems.
Meta paused the program in June after an internal leak made the data widely accessible across the company.
Meta also introduced a performance system called Checkpoint this year, placing greater emphasis on outcomes and giving the company's top-rated workers significantly larger bonuses. The lawsuit alleges that an AI-enabled element of Checkpoint made employee AI adoption a "core assessment metric."
The complaint says several employees were selected for layoffs while on approved leave or shortly after returning from it. One engineer alleged that his manager blamed a lower rating on the "broken time" caused by an injury that prevented him from working. Another employee says a manager warned that taking medically approved leave would lead senior leadership to "definitely" nominate him for layoffs.
The employees are asking a judge to pause their terminations while their claims proceed in arbitration and to order an independent audit of Meta's layoff selection process. They also want Meta to recalculate the selections without counting protected leave or disability accommodations against workers.
The plaintiffs, who have chosen to remain anonymous, worked at Meta across several states, including California, Washington, New York, Illinois, Pennsylvania, and Florida.
Reuters first reported on the lawsuit on Tuesday.

Meta is facing a lawsuit from 26 employees accusing the tech giant of using AI-powered software that disproportionately selected workers with disabilities and those who took medical leave to be impacted in a round of layoffs earlier this year.
The company allegedly used an internal bot known as “Metamate;” “second-brain” agents that were trained by workers; AI-usage dashboards; and keystroke and computer activity data to root out unproductive workers, according to the suit filed Monday in Oakland, Calif., federal court.
But this tech failed to account for workers who were out on valid medical leave – and “in effect penalized the employees for exercising their legal rights to these leaves,” according to the suit.
Mark Zuckerberg’s Meta is being sued for allegedly using discriminatory AI systems in its layoffs this year. AP Photo/Alex Brandon A Meta spokesperson denied the claims in the suit, saying they lack merit.
“Workforce management and organizational decisions were and are made by people, not AI,” a Meta spokesperson told The Post.
Reuters earlier reported the case.
It’s seemingly the first lawsuit targeting a major company for allegedly using AI in carrying out layoffs.
In May, Mark Zuckerberg’s Meta kicked off a bloodbath round of 8,000 job cuts – nearly 10% of its global workforce and among the largest layoff rounds in its history – as it ramped up its AI investment plans. Another 7,000 staffers were also reassigned to AI-focused roles.
The 26 plaintiffs – a group of anonymous Meta managers, engineers, scientists and researchers from California, New York and Washington, DC – are asking the court to block Meta from completing the layoffs while they arbitrate their workplace disputes individually.
The suit alleged Meta ranked employees on a termination list using data from keystrokes, screen content, emails and browser history – effectively tanking the ratings for employees who had been out on leave and logging fewer hours.
Meta’s layoff practices violated federal and state laws that ban discrimination or retaliation against workers with disabilities and those who take medical leave or are pregnant, according to the suit.
Meta denied the claims in the lawsuit. Askar – stock.adobe.com Plaintiffs also alleged Meta did not test its AI systems for bias, which would violate new legislation in California and New York City.
In the spring, Meta leadership said the layoffs were an attempt to boost the firm’s efficiency as it ramped up spending on artificial intelligence.
So far this year, nearly a third of all job cuts have hit the tech sector – and AI came in as the leading reason for announced layoffs in June for the fourth month in a row, Challenger, Gray & Christmas said in a report earlier this month.
Meta has said it plans to spend $125 billion to $145 billion this year alone on AI infrastructure, including power-hungry data centers – and the chips needed to power them.
A huge boost in demand has caused severe memory-chip shortages, sending costs skyrocketing. Tech giants like Apple and Xbox have hiked prices on their gadgets, blaming the higher component costs.
In the meantime, investors have grown concerned that huge spending on AI might not result in blowout earnings – creating an “AI bubble” akin to the “dot-com bubble” of the early 2000s.
