Akcie Modine za poslední měsíc klesly o 3,9 %, ačkoli společnost v 1. čtvrtletí fiskálního roku 2027 zvýšila upravený zisk na akcii o 44 % na 1,53 USD a tržby o 28 % na 874,1 mil. USD.
It has been about a month since the last earnings report for Modine (MOD - Free Report) . Shares have lost about 3.9% in that time frame, underperforming the S&P 500.
But investors have to be wondering, will the recent negative trend continue leading up to its next earnings release, or is Modine due for a breakout? Before we dive into how investors and analysts have reacted as of late, let's take a quick look at its latest earnings report in order to get a better handle on the important catalysts.
Modine Q1 Earnings Beat EstimatesModine reported adjusted earnings of $1.53 per share for the first quarter of fiscal 2027, up 44% year over year. The figure beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.27 by 20.47%.
Net sales increased 28% year over year to $874.1 million but missed the consensus estimate of $876 million by 0.17%. Data Centers sales surged 90%, while three consecutive quarters of record order intake pushed backlog to nearly twice the year-ago level.
Margins Face Supply Chain PressureGross profit rose 10% year over year to $182 million. However, gross margin contracted 340 basis points to 20.8%, reflecting lower margins across all three operating segments.
Adjusted EBITDA increased 5% to $106.5 million, while the corresponding margin declined 270 basis points to 12.2%. Operating income slipped 1% to $74.8 million as higher gross profit was offset by increased expenses supporting growth and the planned Performance Technologies separation.
Data Centers Business Expands RapidlyData Centers revenues jumped to $348.6 million from $183.7 million a year earlier, primarily driven by higher sales to hyperscale customers in North America. Americas sales grew 112%, while EMEA sales advanced 18%.
The segment's adjusted EBITDA rose 27% to $51.7 million, though adjusted EBITDA margin fell to 14.8% from 22.1%. Supply shortages limited production and caused labor inefficiencies and weak overhead absorption. Management estimated that excess labor and under-absorbed overhead reduced the margin by 450-550 basis points.
Commercial HVAC Sales Rise 22%Commercial HVAC sales increased 22% to $261.6 million. Growth reflected higher coil sales to data center customers and $19.7 million of incremental revenues from acquired businesses. Organic sales increased 6%.
Adjusted EBITDA advanced 7% to $41.6 million, while the margin declined to 15.9% from 18.1%. Profitability was affected by acquisition-related business mix, manufacturing consolidation inefficiencies and a greater proportion of lower-margin coil sales. Management expects the segment's margin to improve sequentially through fiscal 2027.
Performance Technologies Sales FallPerformance Technologies revenues declined 3% to $277.8 million. Weak automotive and commercial vehicle demand more than offset higher sales to power-generation customers. Organic sales decreased 4%.
Adjusted EBITDA fell 3% to $36.2 million, while the margin edged down 10 basis points to 13%. Higher material and tariff costs pressured results, with contractual recoveries lagging cost increases. A $2 million reduction in selling, general and administrative expenses partly mitigated these headwinds.
Expenses Increase to Support GrowthSelling, general and administrative expenses rose 22% to $103.3 million, driven by Data Centers investments, acquired Commercial HVAC operations, incentive compensation and separation-related spending. As a percentage of sales, however, SG&A expenses decreased to 11.8%.
The quarter included $3.9 million of restructuring expenses and $7.1 million of costs tied to the planned Performance Technologies spin-off and merger with Gentherm. The transaction remained on schedule for completion in the fourth quarter of calendar 2026, subject to approvals and closing conditions.
Cash Flow Reflects Capacity SpendingNet cash provided by operating activities increased to $41.4 million from $27.7 million. Free cash flow was negative $5 million compared with positive $0.2 million a year earlier, mainly because capital expenditures rose to $46.4 million as the company expanded Data Centers production capacity.
MOD ended the quarter with $95.3 million in cash and cash equivalents and total debt of $528.2 million. Net debt increased to $432.9 million from $362.8 million at the end of fiscal 2026, largely due to treasury-stock purchases associated with employee equity awards.
Fiscal 2027 OutlookModine maintained its fiscal 2027 guidance for net sales growth of 20-35% and adjusted EBITDA of $650-$680 million. The outlook includes Performance Technologies for the full fiscal year and implies adjusted EBITDA growth exceeding 40%.
Data Centers sales are projected to increase 60-80%, while Commercial HVAC revenues are expected to grow 5-10%. Management expects companywide margins to improve sequentially, including a 200-250-basis-point increase in the second quarter, as component availability, production throughput and cost recovery improve.
How Have Estimates Been Moving Since Then?In the past month, investors have witnessed a downward trend in fresh estimates.
The consensus estimate has shifted -17.18% due to these changes.
VGM ScoresCurrently, Modine has a great Growth Score of A, though it is lagging a lot on the Momentum Score front with a D. Charting a somewhat similar path, the stock was allocated a score of C on the value side, putting it in the middle 20% for this investment strategy.
Overall, the stock has an aggregate VGM Score of B. If you aren't focused on one strategy, this score is the one you should be interested in.
OutlookEstimates have been broadly trending downward for the stock, and the magnitude of these revisions indicates a downward shift. Notably, Modine has a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold). We expect an in-line return from the stock in the next few months.
Performance of an Industry PlayerModine belongs to the Zacks Automotive - Original Equipment industry. Another stock from the same industry, Mobileye Global (MBLY - Free Report) , has gained 9% over the past month. More than a month has passed since the company reported results for the quarter ended June 2026.
Mobileye reported revenues of $508 million in the last reported quarter, representing a year-over-year change of +0.4%. EPS of $0.19 for the same period compares with $0.13 a year ago.
For the current quarter, Mobileye is expected to post earnings of $0.10 per share, indicating a change of +11.1% from the year-ago quarter. The Zacks Consensus Estimate has changed +125% over the last 30 days.
The overall direction and magnitude of estimate revisions translate into a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) for Mobileye. Also, the stock has a VGM Score of A.
A month has gone by since the last earnings report for ProPetro Holding (PUMP - Free Report) . Shares have added about 3.3% in that time frame, underperforming the S&P 500.
Will the recent positive trend continue leading up to its next earnings release, or is ProPetro due for a pullback? Well, first let's take a quick look at the latest earnings report in order to get a better handle on the recent drivers for ProPetro Holding Corp. before we dive into how investors and analysts have reacted as of late.
ProPetro Q2 Loss Wider Than Expected, Revenues Beat EstimateProPetro Holding reported a second-quarter 2026 loss of 7 cents per share, wider than the Zacks Consensus Estimate of a loss of 1 cent. This was due to higher fleet activation costs, unexpected downtime on an out-of-basin project, severe weather in the Permian Basin during June and increased operating expenses, which weighed on earnings. The bottom line was unchanged from the year-ago quarter’s loss of 7 cents.
Revenues of $306 million beat the Zacks consensus estimate of $301 million by 1.8%, primarily due to higher-than-expected Power Generation, Hydraulic Fracturing and Cementing segment revenues, which beat consensus estimates by 97%, 0.5% and 10%, respectively. However, the metric declined 6.2% year over year from $326.2 million in the prior-year quarter, primarily due to lower Wireline revenues, which missed the consensus estimate by 4.9%.
Adjusted EBITDA totaled $44.8 million, up 23% from $36.4 million in the prior quarter. The metric represented roughly 15% of revenues and included $15.8 million of operating lease expense related to the company’s FORCE electric fleets. However, the metric missed our estimate of $46.2 million.
PUMP’s Business Reporting SegmentsProPetro conducts its operations through four reporting segments: Hydraulic Fracturing, Wireline, Cementing and Power Generation. Total revenues increased 13% sequentially from $271 million, primarily due to higher completions utilization and incremental PROPWR deployments.
Hydraulic fracturing revenues totaled $207.2 million, up 15.6% from $179.3 million in the prior quarter. However, the figure missed our estimate of $210.2 million. This segment accounted for approximately 68% of ProPetro’s consolidated second-quarter revenues.
Adjusted EBITDA from hydraulic fracturing increased 19.3% sequentially to $44.2 million. However, performance was affected by upfront maintenance and deployment costs associated with activating the 12th fleet, significant downtime on a temporary out-of-basin customer project and severe Permian Basin weather in June.
Wireline revenues totaled $57.5 million, down 6.9% from the previous quarter. However, the figure beat our estimate of $55.2 million. Adjusted EBITDA from the segment declined 16.2% sequentially to $11.4 million. Management nevertheless described wireline utilization, pricing and margins as resilient.
Cementing revenues increased 15.2% sequentially to $32 million. The figure beat our estimate of $30.5 million. Segment adjusted EBITDA surged to $5.5 million from $2.1 million, supported by improving activity and higher Permian Basin drilling levels.
Power generation revenues rose to $9.3 million from $2.2 million in the prior quarter. The figure beat our estimate of $1.1 million. The segment’s adjusted EBITDA loss narrowed to $0.7 million from $5.3 million. PROPWR also generated positive EBITDA during the quarter’s final two months.
PUMP’s Costs & Financial PositionTotal costs and expenses were $309 million for the second quarter, which was down 6.2% from the prior-year quarter’s level.Cost of services, excluding depreciation and amortization, totaled $234 million. General and administrative expenses increased to $33.1 million from $27.2 million sequentially, primarily due to costs associated with PROPWR’s growth and financing activities. Depreciation and amortization rose to $43.5 million from $40.6 million in the prior quarter. The company reported a net loss of $8.1 million compared with a loss of $3.6 million in the first quarter. Net cash provided by operating activities increased to $66 million from $3 million. The improvement reflected higher adjusted EBITDA and approximately $20 million of working-capital tailwinds. Free cash flow from the completions business totaled $51.1 million.
As of June 30, 2026, ProPetro had $784 million in cash and cash equivalents, including proceeds from its $690 million convertible senior notes offering. Total liquidity was $905 million, including $121 million of available borrowing capacity under the ABL Credit Facility. Long-term debt amounted to $764.9 million. The total debt-to-total capital was 44.4%.
Capital expenditures paid were $61 million, while incurred capital expenditures totaled $71 million. Approximately $24 million supported completions, while $47 million funded PROPWR equipment orders.
How Have Estimates Been Moving Since Then?In the past month, investors have witnessed a downward trend in estimates review.
The consensus estimate has shifted -115% due to these changes.
VGM ScoresCurrently, ProPetro has a average Growth Score of C, though it is lagging a lot on the Momentum Score front with an F. However, the stock was allocated a grade of B on the value side, putting it in the second quintile for value investors.
Overall, the stock has an aggregate VGM Score of C. If you aren't focused on one strategy, this score is the one you should be interested in.
OutlookEstimates have been broadly trending downward for the stock, and the magnitude of these revisions indicates a downward shift. Interestingly, ProPetro has a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold). We expect an in-line return from the stock in the next few months.
Performance of an Industry PlayerProPetro is part of the Zacks Oil and Gas - Field Services industry. Over the past month, Halliburton (HAL - Free Report) , a stock from the same industry, has gained 12.2%. The company reported its results for the quarter ended June 2026 more than a month ago.
Halliburton reported revenues of $5.71 billion in the last reported quarter, representing a year-over-year change of +3.7%. EPS of $0.55 for the same period compares with $0.55 a year ago.
For the current quarter, Halliburton is expected to post earnings of $0.58 per share, indicating no change from the year-ago quarter. The Zacks Consensus Estimate has changed -0.4% over the last 30 days.
Halliburton has a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) based on the overall direction and magnitude of estimate revisions. Additionally, the stock has a VGM Score of C.
Wall Street spustila první „Neocloud“ ETF zaměřený na firmy pronajímající AI výpočetní výkon hyperscalerům. Fond sází na čistou expozici vůči AI infrastruktuře místo širšího QQQ.
A new ETF launched this August targets the companies renting AI compute directly to hyperscalers, offering something QQQ never could: pure-play exposure to contracted infrastructure backlogs worth hundreds of billions. The tradeoffs, however, are not small.
Invesco QQQ Trust (NASDAQ:QQQ) offers AI exposure through the customers rather than the suppliers. QQQ’s top holdings are the hyperscalers spending on AI infrastructure. That has worked, but QQQ dilutes the pure AI-compute rental trade through hundreds of billions in unrelated market cap. On August 6, 2026, Wall Street launched the first ETF built to isolate that trade: a “Neocloud” fund holding the companies renting AI compute back to those same hyperscalers. It landed the same day as a sister photonics and optics ETF, which carries a 0.65% management fee. The question is whether the trade justifies moving away from QQQ.
What Broad AI Funds Actually Give You QQQ’s AI thesis is second-order. Its megacap holdings sell chips, rent cloud services, and build models, but AI sits inside diversified businesses generating cash from unrelated products. Neocloud names are 100% AI infrastructure, contracted years out, and financed against those contracts. If hyperscaler capex doubles again, QQQ moves modestly. The Neocloud basket moves with it directly.
Names Inside the New ETF CoreWeave (NASDAQ:CRWV) is the anchor. Q2 revenue hit $2.6 billion, up 112% year over year, with a revenue backlog of $104 billion and more than $25 billion in net new customer commitments added early in Q3. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 59%. CEO Michael Intrator described it as an inflection point where “scale began to translate into expanding operating leverage.”
Nebius Group (NASDAQ:NBIS | NBIS Price Prediction) grew revenue 454% to $582 million, with a first-ever capacity auction clearing 15% above its highest prior Blackwell price. Applied Digital (NASDAQ:APLD) sits on $36 billion of total contracted lease value, with roughly 76% tied to investment-grade hyperscalers. TeraWulf (NASDAQ:WULF) signed a 20-year, roughly $19 billion lease with Anthropic for 401 megawatts at its Kentucky campus. IREN inked a five-year, $3.4 billion AI Cloud contract with NVIDIA tied to the eventual deployment of 600,000 GPUs. Lumentum is the optics arm: fiscal Q4 revenue jumped 109% to $1.01 billion, with non-GAAP operating margin at 36.6%.
Where This Basket Actually Wins Against QQQ This is concentration by design, and that is the whole point. QQQ gives you fractional exposure to companies where AI revenue is still buried inside much broader businesses. The neocloud basket, on the other hand, is contracted forward in a big way, with $104 billion at CoreWeave, roughly $37.5 billion at Nebius, and $33 billion at TeraWulf. Every additional dollar of hyperscaler capex, which Applied Digital’s Wes Cummins recently pegged at “nearly $700 billion,” up from around $400 billion, flows straight into the companies that have the power, the sites, and the GPU allocations to absorb it. QQQ catches a sliver of that action. The Neocloud ETF captures the bulk of it.
Tradeoffs Worth Naming In the last week alone, CoreWeave fell 18.63%, and Nebius fell 21.55%. CoreWeave’s Q2 interest expense reached $640 million, versus $267 million a year earlier. TeraWulf posted a $939.92 million net loss driven mostly by non-cash warrant marks. IREN took a $140.4 million non-cash impairment, retiring mining hardware. Customer concentration is real: Nebius disclosed three customers representing 24%, 21%, and 14% of revenue, and TeraWulf leans on Anthropic and Google’s $600 million credit backstop for Fluidstack. None of these names pay a dividend.
The idea is to ride the AI infrastructure wave with guardrails. We wrote a free guide on seven suppliers powering the buildout, from power to cooling to networking, here: 7 Stocks Powering the AI Boom (That Aren’t Chipmakers).
How to Think About the Swap These two funds are structurally very different. QQQ is a broad, diversified core holding you can build a portfolio around. The Neocloud ETF, by contrast, is a satellite that hones in on one specific theme, and it does it through structurally levered, cash-flow-negative businesses. A partial reallocation could make sense here. If you size the Neocloud fund as a modest slice of your AI exposure rather than swapping it in for QQQ entirely, you get that pure-play upside without betting your whole portfolio on capital markets staying open for six companies at the same time. One word of caution, though. If you are working in a taxable account, cost basis matters a lot before you start rotating out of appreciated QQQ shares.
Signals That Would Change the Call Whether this actually works comes down to just two things. First, you have to watch what the hyperscalers are planning to spend on capex. Second, capital markets need to stay open and cooperative. CoreWeave alone raised roughly $18 billion in the second quarter, which gives you a sense of the scale we are talking about. If either of those two pillars weakens, the neocloud ETF will take a much bigger hit than QQQ. But if both hold up, the concentration works in your favor. The smart move is a measured position, sized so that even a total loss would not derail your broader plan, and then weigh that against the diversified exposure a broad tech ETF already gives you.

Astera Labs očekává, že Scorpio bude ve 3. čtvrtletí 2026 jeho největší produktovou řadou, dříve než plánovalo. Tržby za 3. čtvrtletí odhaduje na 540 až 560 milionů USD.
Key Takeaways Astera Labs expects Scorpio to become its largest product family in Q3 2026, ahead of prior plans. Scorpio X-Series delivers up to 2x performance gains for AI workloads through advanced features. ALAB expects Q3 2026 revenue of $540M-$560M, with about 40% sequential growth at the midpoint. Astera Labs (ALAB - Free Report) is benefiting from robust demand for its Scorpio X-Series fabric switches, positioning itself as a formidable competitor to Marvell Technology (MRVL - Free Report) and Credo Technology (CRDO - Free Report) in the AI infrastructure connectivity market. In the second quarter of 2026, ALAB reported record revenues of $392.4 million, up 104% year over year, with Scorpio X-Series entering volume production and set to become the company’s largest product line by the third quarter of 2026.
This momentum is fueled by Scorpio’s advanced features, such as hardware-accelerated Hypercast and In-Network Compute, which deliver up to 2x performance improvements for AI workloads. The COSMOS software platform further enhances customer loyalty by enabling dynamic traffic shaping and real-time performance management.
The Scorpio product family delivered significant growth as the X-Series began shipping in initial production volumes across multiple lane configurations. The high-radix Scorpio X-Series entered volume production and is expected to scale materially during the second half of 2026. Management expects Scorpio to become the company’s largest product family in the third quarter, one quarter earlier than previously projected. The transition will be led by the 320-lane Scorpio X-Series fabric switch, which supports larger accelerator clusters and includes hardware-based Hypercast and in-network compute capabilities.
ALAB’s strong Scorpio demand, broadening customer base and technology leadership suggest it is well positioned to outpace MRVL and CRDO in the evolving AI infrastructure market. For the third quarter of 2026, revenues are expected to be between $540 million and $560 million. The midpoint implies sequential growth of approximately 40%, driven by the Scorpio X-Series production increase, continued Aries PCIe 6 retimer strength and preproduction Taurus shipments for 800-gigabit Ethernet applications.
How Competitors Fare Against ALABALAB is facing stiff competition from other industry players, such as Marvell Technology and Credo Technology. Both companies are making strong efforts in the connectivity space.
In the first quarter of fiscal 2027, Marvell Technology emphasized its strength in 800G PAM4 products, a quick ramp of 1.6T solutions, and expanding traction in Ethernet switching as networking becomes more critical in larger AI clusters. The company also said that the shift toward larger, multi-site AI systems is increasing the importance of data center interconnect modules.
Credo Technology recently announced that it is developing a new open interconnect standard within the Open Compute Project (OCP). It has established the OCP Open Chiplet Economy Lightweight Serial Interconnect (LSI) Workstream, aimed at developing efficient interconnect solutions for AI infrastructure. As part of the initiative, Credo Technology plans to contribute its OmniConnect lightweight AXI framer specification to OCP. The OCP LSI initiative is designed to support an open, interoperable ecosystem where compute, memory and other resources can be combined more efficiently. This could allow data-center operators and AI developers to tailor systems to specific workloads rather than relying on fixed architectures.
ALAB’s Share Price Performance, Valuation, and EstimatesALAB shares have surged 66.9% in the year-to-date period, outperforming the broader Zacks Computer & Technology sector’s increase of 15.7%. The Zacks Internet - Software industry has decreased 4.2% in the same time frame.

DISCUSSION OF OPERATING RESULTS
During Q2 2026, the Company's production continued to increase due to additional volumes of oil crude production from the Mateguafa Attic and the new Icaco field in the Tapir block, offset by decreased production in other fields due to natural declines. This has allowed the Company to continue its healthy level of operating results and EBITDA.

The Company's average production for the three months ended June 30, 2026 was 4,902 boe/d, which consisted of crude oil production in Colombia of 4,801, natural gas production of 574 Mcf/d, and minor amounts of natural gas liquids. The Company's Q2 2026 production was 30% higher than its Q2 2025 production and 4% higher than Q1 2026, due to the Mateguafa Attic and Icaco fields additional volumes, offset by declines in other fields.
DISCUSSION OF FINANCIAL RESULTS
The Company realized prices of $89.65 and $76.95 per boe during the three months ended June 30, 2026 (2025: $53.33) due to overall increase in crude oil and natural gas prices during the first half of 2026, offset by decreases in natural gas prices.

(1)Non-IFRS measure
The operating netbacks of the Company for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 have improved due to the overall increase in crude oil prices, as well as increased production. The Company continues to develop alternatives to trucking water for disposal in order to improve operating costs. During Q2 2026, the Company incurred $7.6 million of capital expenditure, primarily in connection with the drilling of additional development wells in the Tapir block. This tempo is expected to continue during the remainder of 2026, funded by cash on hand and cashflow.
Arrow Exploration Corp. (operating in Colombia via a branches of its 100% owned subsidiary Arrow Exploration Switzerland GmbH) is a publicly traded company with a portfolio of premier Colombian oil assets that are underexploited, under-explored and offer high potential growth. The Company's business plan is to expand oil production from some of Colombia's most active basins, including the Llanos, Middle Magdalena Valley (MMV) and Putumayo Basin. The asset base is predominantly operated with high working interests, and the Brent-linked light oil pricing exposure combines with low royalties to yield attractive potential operating margins. Pursuant to certain private agreements entered between Arrow and its partner, Arrow is entitled to receive 50% of the production from the Tapir block and has the right to request approval to Ecopetrol S.A. for the assignment of 50% of all rights, interests and obligations under the Tapir Association Contract. Arrow is listed on the AIM market of the London Stock Exchange and on TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol "AXL".

nVent Electric plánuje koupit Maverick Power za 1,75 miliardy USD a rozšířit tak nabídku pro datová centra. Maverick má v roce 2026 výnosy kolem 700 milionů USD a akvizice má být v prvním roce po uzavření transakce zisková pro upravený EPS.
Key Takeaways NVT plans to acquire Maverick Power, adding switchgear and power distribution solutions to its portfolio.Maverick is expected to generate $700M in 2026 revenues and be EPS accretive in the first year after closing.NVT expects data center sales above $2B in 2026, with AI investment driving demand. nVent Electric (NVT - Free Report) is expanding its data center business with the planned acquisition of Maverick Power, a leading provider of power distribution and infrastructure solutions for data centers. The $1.75 billion Maverick Power acquisition will add low- and medium-voltage switchgear, switchboards, integrated modular systems and related services to nVent Electric's portfolio. These products complement NVT's existing data center offerings in liquid cooling, cable management and engineered buildings.
The acquisition is timely because data center demand is driving a large part of nVent Electric's growth. In the second quarter of 2026, NVT's infrastructure sales more than doubled organically, led by data centers. The company expects data center sales to exceed $2 billion in 2026. Maverick adds a sizable business to this growth area. Maverick is expected to generate about $700 million in revenues in 2026 and has a strong backlog and future demand visibility.
With power demand driven by data centers and an aging power grid, Maverick's power distribution products can help nVent Electric address the rising power requirements of data centers as electricity demand continues to increase. NVT expects Maverick to be accretive to adjusted EPS in the first year after closing. The $1.75 billion purchase price is about 11.5 times Maverick's expected 2026 adjusted EBITDA, and the transaction is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2026.
Maverick Power should therefore help nVent Electric expand its data center business as it adds power distribution products to an existing portfolio that already serves cooling, cable management and other data center needs. With nVent Electric expecting more than $2 billion of data center sales in 2026 and AI investment continuing to drive demand, the Maverick Power acquisition should help NVT grow its data center business and strengthen its position in the infrastructure market.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for nVent Electric’s 2026 and 2027 revenues indicates year-over-year growth of 39.96% and 18.12%, respectively.
How Do Competitors Fare Against NVTnVent Electric competes with companies like Vertiv (VRT - Free Report) and Hubbell (HUBB - Free Report) in the electrical equipment and data center markets.
Vertiv is also benefiting from strong AI data center spending and has a broad portfolio covering power and thermal management. VRT offers power, cooling and services as an integrated solution and is expanding its liquid-cooling capabilities through acquisitions, including Strategic Thermal Labs, which added server-side liquid cooling and cold-plate expertise. VRT expects 2026 sales of about $14 billion, up 37% year over year, with organic growth of 31%.
In June 2026, Hubbell completed the acquisition of NSI Industries, a key manufacturer and supplier of electrical products. The acquisition is expected to strengthen Hubbell’s offerings in areas such as light industrial, data center and network infrastructure applications. Here, electrification trends are expected to support Hubbell's growth across the electrical industry, and the acquisition will help Hubbell expand its portfolio of infrastructure-related products for its electrical and utility customers.
NVT's Price Performance, Valuation & EstimatesShares of nVent Electric have surged 52.3% year to date against the Zacks Electronics - Miscellaneous Components industry’s decline of 18.8%.

Powell Industries míří na rekordní tržby přes 1 miliardu USD díky poptávce po středněnapěťovém vybavení z datových center. V nevyřízených zakázkách má 2,4 miliardy USD, z toho asi třetinu tvoří datová centra.
3 Non-Tech Stocks Still Winning Big on AIPowell Industries NASDAQ: POWL said it is on track to surpass the more than $1 billion in revenue it generated last year, supported by demand for medium-voltage electrical equipment from data centers, utilities and industrial customers.
Speaking at the Midwest IDEAS Conference, Executive Vice President and CFO Michael Metcalf said the company reported approximately $860 million in revenue through the first nine months of its fiscal year. Powell manufactures low- and medium-voltage switchgear, circuit breakers, power control rooms and related automation systems, with its primary operating range between 480 volts and 38,000 volts.
Get Powell Industries alerts:
3 Industrial Stocks That Just Crushed EarningsMetcalf said Powell’s equipment supports power distribution after electricity moves from high voltage to medium voltage, regardless of whether the power is generated by solar, natural gas or another source. The company primarily serves North American markets using ANSI electrical standards, with five U.S. manufacturing facilities, a large Canadian operation and a U.K. facility serving the IEC-standard market.
Data Centers Represent About One-Third of Backlog Data-center activity has become a major driver of Powell’s order growth. Metcalf said data centers accounted for about one-third of the company’s backlog, while core industrial markets such as refining, LNG, petrochemicals and oil and gas represented roughly another third. Utilities account for most of the remaining backlog.
3 Small-Cap Leaders Poised for Significant GrowthThe company reported $934 million in orders during its most recent quarter, including a data-center contract valued at more than $400 million that was formally booked in the third quarter. Total backlog reached $2.4 billion, with approximately 55% expected to convert into revenue over the next 12 months, according to Metcalf.
“2027 is essentially booked at this point, and we’re booking into 2028 backlog,” Metcalf said.
Powell’s data-center work includes power control rooms and medium-voltage equipment located outside the facilities, rather than equipment installed within the data centers themselves. Metcalf said the company has seen demand shift toward its highest-voltage offerings, including 38 kV systems, as operators seek more power capacity.
While the company initially worked with hyperscalers and colocation providers, Metcalf said Powell has found opportunities serving “neoscalers,” which he described as real-estate-oriented developers that build infrastructure and lease capacity to companies such as Google or Microsoft. He said these customers can offer more manageable contract terms than some hyperscaler agreements.
Metcalf said management believes data-center demand could remain significant for another three to five years, though he acknowledged the pace of growth could soften. He said Powell has not seen a slowdown in current project activity.
Integrated Model and Automation Strategy Powell competes with larger electrical-equipment companies including ABB, Siemens, Schneider Electric and Eaton. Metcalf said Powell differentiates itself by supplying an integrated solution that includes switchgear, circuit breakers and the power control room or module housing the equipment.
He said competitors often must outsource the construction and integration of the building that houses their equipment, while Powell designs and builds the complete unit. That integrated approach has been particularly important in core industrial applications, according to Metcalf.
The company is also expanding its automation business, which Metcalf described as a high-margin and rapidly growing operation. Automation offerings include sensors and systems intended to help customers monitor equipment condition, identify abnormalities and support predictive maintenance.
Powell acquired U.K.-based controller company Remsdaq in August 2025. Metcalf said the business was integrated quickly and its technology was applied to a large U.S. data-center order during the first month after the acquisition closed.
The company is pursuing additional opportunities in engineered services, particularly upgrades and support for its installed base of circuit breakers. Powell acquired GE’s circuit-breaker business in 2006, giving it a broad installed base that management sees as a potential source of value-added service revenue.
Cash Position Supports Capacity Investments Metcalf said Powell had more than $600 million of cash and no debt at its most recent reporting date. He said the company does not currently need to raise debt or equity to fund planned capital expenditures, although a large transformational acquisition could require additional financing.
The company expects a meaningful portion of its cash balance to support working capital because Powell receives advance payments on long-cycle projects and later deploys capital during project execution. Metcalf estimated that 12% to 15% of each revenue dollar will eventually be required for working capital.
Powell is also completing a 335,000-square-foot expansion of its fabrication yard. Metcalf said the added capacity will allow the company to work on an additional 10 to 12 substations annually, with each substation typically valued at $10 million to $15 million. The expansion is aimed at supporting large, one-piece buildings for LNG, refinery and other industrial projects.
Looking ahead, Metcalf said Powell may consider a $75 million to $100 million greenfield facility within roughly the next 24 months to address capacity needs. He said the company could fund such a project with existing cash reserves.

NVIDIA oznámila čtvrtletní tržby ve výši 81,61 miliardy USD, tažené datovými centry s 75,246 miliardy USD. Cerebras zvýšil celoroční výhled hlavních tržeb na 880 až 890 milionů USD.
NVIDIA prints $81 billion quarters while Cerebras barely cleared its IPO, yet one metric puts the underdog in a position the AI giant cannot easily dismiss. The strategic clash between wafer-scale inference and full-stack AI factories raises a real question…
Cerebras Systems (NASDAQ: CBRS) and NVIDIA (NASDAQ: NVDA | NVDA Price Prediction) delivered post-earnings reports showing two distinct AI compute visions. NVIDIA reported a $81.61 billion quarter powered by full-stack AI factories. Cerebras, fresh off its IPO, bets on wafer-scale inference speed. The results make a direct comparison unusually relevant.
Wafer Scale Meets AI Factory Scale NVIDIA’s Q1 FY27 earnings were dominated by Data Center revenue of $75.246 billion, up 92% year over year, with networking growing 199%. Jensen Huang stated “Demand has gone parabolic.” Blackwell Ultra swept every MLPerf inference benchmark, and Vera Rubin production begins in the second half of fiscal 2027.
Cerebras took a different route. Core revenue reached $209.87 million, up 103%, though GAAP revenue of $180.11 million came in 6.95% shy of consensus. CEO Andrew Feldman said “our cloud business nearly quadrupled year-over-year”, driven by fast inference demand from OpenAI, AWS, AMD, and CrowdStrike. Backlog sits at $25.4 billion in remaining performance obligations.
Platform Empire Versus Speed Specialist The strategic split is clear. NVIDIA sells a vertically integrated stack: CUDA, NVLink, Spectrum-X, DGX, and Vera Rubin, aimed at every hyperscaler and sovereign buildout. Huang emphasized that “AI native clouds don’t build chips, don’t design their own chips”, positioning NVIDIA as the ready-made AI factory. Cerebras leverages single-chip scale that sidesteps HBM memory, CoWoS packaging, and 3nm constraints, wrapped in a cloud inference service.
Lens NVIDIA Cerebras Core Bet Full-stack AI factories Fastest single-user inference Gross Margin 75.0% non-GAAP 40.6% core Anchor Customer Every hyperscaler OpenAI 750MW deal Key Vulnerability China revenue at zero Customer concentration NVIDIA counters Cerebras with TensorRT-LLM, speculative decoding, multi-user concurrency scaling, and ubiquitous cloud availability. Cerebras wins on raw tokens per second for a single user. Different buyers, overlapping budgets.
Vera Rubin Ramp Versus Cerebras Scaling The next tests are concrete. NVIDIA guided Q2 FY27 revenue to $91.0 billion, plus or minus 2%, excluding China Data Center compute. Vera Rubin promises up to 35x higher inference throughput versus Blackwell. Watch whether hyperscalers accept that leap without hesitation.
Cerebras raised full-year 2026 core revenue guidance to $880 to $890 million and plans to triple revenue in 2027. Monitor whether manufacturing capacity, scaling more than 10x in 2026, actually delivers.
Why NVIDIA Remains the Anchor, With Room for Cerebras NVIDIA remains the sturdier position. A 32x trailing P/E on 17.28% one-year gains, paired with $48.554 billion in quarterly free cash flow, reflects a business printing money while buildout is early. Cerebras appeals as a smaller, higher-variance position for investors believing inference speed commands a premium. GAAP losses tied to $377.0 million in stock-based compensation and customer concentration warrant caution. If Vera Rubin ships on time and Cerebras hits 2027 guidance, both can work. Until then, NVIDIA is the anchor and Cerebras is the swing.

Ark Invest koupil 93 290 akcií Cerebras za zhruba 17,2 milionu USD a zároveň prodal 7 600 akcií AMD za téměř 3,5 milionu USD. Wood tak dál sází na AI čipový titul místo AMD.
Ark bought $17.2 million of Cerebras shares. Summary
Wood sold about $3.5 million of AMD stock.
Cathie Wood is backing Cerebras Systems (CBRS, Financials) with a greater vote of confidence. Ark Invest bought 93,290 shares of Cerebras, a purchase valued around $17.2 million. The move adds to recent buys by Wood in the AI chip business.
Ark also sold 7,600 shares of Advanced Micro Devices valued at almost $3.5 million. That difference makes the trade interesting.
Cerebras is currently a far smaller player than AMD or Nvidia, but it's seeking to carve out a niche in AI inference with devices built to run models quicker and more efficiently.
The company recently announced its CS-4 system, which it said will provide more than 4,400 tokens every second per user. Analysts have also indicated Meta could come in as a further customer later this year.
Wall Street is generally bullish. Cerebras has a Strong Buy consensus rating and its average price target is $296, suggesting ~61% upside from recent levels.
The risk is obvious: Cerebras shares continue to be substantially lower since the company's IPO in May. But her new action indicates she sees that weakness as an opportunity, not a warning.

IDC projects a record 16.7% drop in global smartphone shipments to just over 1 billion units in 2026, though total market value will still grow 6.3% to $613 billion as average selling prices surge 27.6% to $581.
While Android shipments contract 24.3%, market leaders Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL), Samsung, and Huawei are best positioned to navigate the downturn—with Apple’s iOS market share expected to gain nearly four percentage points, reaching a record 23.6%.
The memory shortage is driving much of the disruption. NAND and DRAM costs have risen more than 300% year over year, and IDC expects memory prices to remain elevated until at least 2028.
IDC Vice President Francisco Jeronimo said vendors are increasingly passing those higher costs on to consumers as they lose the ability to absorb them.
Apple Gains Share As Android Retreats From Entry-Level PhonesIDC expects Android shipments to decline as manufacturers cut lower-priced devices that have become harder to sell profitably.
Trending
Apple faces far less volume pressure. IDC expects iOS shipments to fall only 1.3%, helping its market share rise to a record 23.6%.
Huawei is also gaining ground. IDC expects HarmonyOS shipments to nearly triple to 51 million units as Huawei maintains disciplined pricing and captures share in China.
Foldables Give Apple Another Growth DriverIDC expects foldable smartphone shipments to rise 12.6% in 2026 to 22.9 million units and accelerate another 18% in 2027.
Senior Research Director Nabila Popal said Apple’s entry has fundamentally changed the category’s outlook.
IDC forecasts Apple will ship more than 17 million foldable iPhones in 2027 and capture roughly 40% of global foldable shipments.
IDC also expects Apple’s foldable devices to generate more than $45.7 billion in value and account for over half of the category’s total market value.
Smaller Android vendors concentrated in entry-level devices face the greatest pressure as the market shifts toward fewer units, higher prices and greater concentration among leading brands.
AAPL Price Action: Apple shares were up 0.23% at $315.29 during premarket trading on Friday, according to Benzinga Pro data.

AMD přidá UCIe 1.1 do vybraných Versal SoC, což má posílit chipletovou konektivitu s AI akcelerátory, CPU a GPU. Tržby v segmentu Embedded ve 2. čtvrtletí 2026 vzrostly meziročně o 19 % na 977 milionů USD.
Key Takeaways AMD will add UCIe 1.1 to select Versal SoCs, enabling high-bandwidth, low-power chiplet links.Versal RF Series will connect with AI accelerators, CPUs, GPUs, security engines and specialized ASICs.AMD Embedded revenues rose 19% in Q2 2026, while competition from Intel and Microchip remains intense. Advanced Micro Devices (AMD - Free Report) is expanding its adaptive computing portfolio by bringing native Universal Chiplet Interconnect Express (UCIe) 1.1 connectivity to select Versal adaptive system-on-chips (SoCs). The Versal RF Series will be the first AMD adaptive SoCs to support UCIe, enabling high-bandwidth, low-power communication between AMD devices and specialized co-packaged chiplets. The technology allows customers to combine different silicon components within a single package instead of developing large monolithic SoCs for individual applications.
The Versal RF Series will support as many as four UCIe-SP interfaces and two UCIe-AP interfaces, delivering a multi-terabit-per-second aggregate in-package bandwidth. The devices already combine RF data converters, DSP intellectual property, AI Engines and programmable logic while delivering up to 80 TOPS of heterogeneous DSP compute. UCIe connectivity will allow the platform to connect directly with AI accelerators, CPUs, GPUs, communications processors, security engines and application-specific ASICs. AMD expects production chiplets supporting select Versal RF Series devices to become available in the fourth quarter of 2027.
The move should strengthen AMD’s prospects by broadening Versal’s addressable opportunities across AI, networking, communications, aerospace and defense and other embedded workloads. It is also expected to strengthen AMD’s competitive position against Intel (INTC - Free Report) and Microchip (MCHP - Free Report) . Moving specialized functions from board-level connections to standardized in-package links can reduce latency, power consumption, footprint and design complexity while allowing customers to reuse proven silicon IP and shorten product-development cycles. This aligns well with AMD’s broader strategy of extending compute leadership across CPUs, GPUs, FPGAs, networking, SoCs, chiplets and advanced packaging.
The latest development bodes well for AMD’s Embedded business, which is regaining momentum. Embedded revenues increased 19% year over year to $977 million in the second quarter of 2026, with demand strengthening across networking, aerospace and defense, test and measurement and communications customers. AMD is also tracking toward another record year of more than $18 billion in new embedded design wins. The latest UCIe initiative therefore enhances its ability to offer customizable chiplet-based platforms as heterogeneous computing becomes increasingly important. Combined with the company’s expanding adaptive and embedded AI portfolio, the technology should support additional design wins and help AMD capture a greater share of next-generation AI and high-performance computing workloads.
Tough Competition Hurts AMD’s ProspectsAMD’s prospects suffer from stiff competition. Intel is challenging AMD in embedded and edge computing by expanding its focus beyond traditional PCs into physical AI and edge applications. Intel recently renamed its PC operation the Client Computing and Physical AI Group to reflect this opportunity and stated that edge and physical AI could eventually represent a market at least as large as its client TAM. The company already has 130 Core Series 3 design wins for edge AI applications, including robotics brain and control deployments. Intel’s broader capabilities in x86 computing, custom silicon, advanced packaging and foundry services add to the competitive pressure.
Microchip poses another significant challenge because of the breadth of its embedded portfolio across microcontrollers, FPGAs, analog, mixed-signal, security, timing, memory and power-management products. Microchip is also strengthening its position in AI-driven embedded applications. The company said AI adoption is expanding in industrial markets, while its planned Hailo acquisition could advance its edge-AI roadmap by roughly five years. Microchip also maintains a strong position in radiation-hardened FPGAs and microcontrollers for aerospace and defense. Its broad product coverage, large installed customer base and growing edge-AI capabilities increase competitive pressure on AMD for long-duration industrial, communications and aerospace design wins.

3M ve 2. čtvrtletí 2026 zvýšila upravenou provozní marži na 24,9 % díky restrukturalizaci a vyšší produktivitě. Náklady ale rostly: náklady na prodané zboží stouply o 4,7 % a podíl na tržbách na 58,7 %.
Key Takeaways 3M's restructuring and productivity gains lifted adjusted operating margin to 24.9% in Q2 2026.Supply-chain redesign and AI tools are driving its longer-term transformation and efficiency efforts.Higher tariffs, oil prices and PFAS exit costs pushed cost of sales higher, pressuring margin momentum. 3M Company (MMM - Free Report) is taking structural measures to improve operating efficiency and strengthen margins. The company has been reducing the size of its corporate center, streamlining its geographic footprint, simplifying its supply chain, aligning go-to-market models with customers and optimizing manufacturing roles based on production volumes. These initiatives are expected to lower operating costs while supporting margins and cash flow over the long term.
MMM completed most of the restructuring actions by the end of 2025. The company is now shifting its focus toward longer-term transformation, including redesigning its supply-chain network and deploying AI-driven tools across its operations. In the second quarter of 2026, these efforts, combined with strong organic volume and productivity gains, helped lift 3M’s adjusted operating margin by 40 basis points year over year to 24.9%. For 2026, 3M expects adjusted operating margins to expand 70-80 basis points year over year.
However, rising costs could challenge the company’s ability to sustain this margin momentum. In the second quarter of 2026, cost of sales increased 4.7% year over year, while cost of sales as a percentage of total revenues rose 120 basis points to 58.7%. Higher tariff-related costs, rising oil prices and cost dis-synergies associated with the PFAS manufacturing exit contributed to the increase.
Overall, 3M’s restructuring and productivity initiatives are supporting margins, although persistent cost pressures remain a concern. Going forward, continued productivity improvements and cost-control measures are expected to help the company maintain healthy profitability.
Segmental Snapshot of MMM’s PeersAmong 3M’s major peers, Carlisle Companies Incorporated (CSL - Free Report) has been dealing with elevated raw-material and freight costs, particularly for petroleum-based inputs affected by the Middle East conflict and related supply disruptions. Not only is this pushing up Carlisle’s direct expenses, but it is also weighing on margins as pricing realization lags cost inflation. In the second quarter of 2026, Carlisle’s cost of sales increased 10.3% year over year to $1.0 billion and represented 63.8% of revenues compared with 62.7% a year ago.
MMM’s another peer, Honeywell Technologies (HON - Free Report) , has been dealing with the adverse impacts of the high cost of sales and operating expenses. On a consolidated basis, HON’s total cost of sales, comprising the cost of products and services sold, was up 7.2% year over year in the second quarter. Honeywell Technologies’ research and development expenses surged 14.2% year over year in the same period. Its operating margin fell 190 basis points to 17.9%.
The Zacks Rundown for MMMShares of 3M have gained 14.3% in the past year against the industry’s decline of 25.1%.

Revolut spustil EURR pro vybrané zákazníky v Dánsku, Polsku a Portugalsku; širší dostupnost plánuje později letos. Bridge jako regulovaný emitent má v oběhu 374 EURR a v rezervách 374 €.
Revolut opens EURR to selected customers in three countries; Bridge reported €374 outstanding, compared with €394.5 million of Circle’s EURC.
Revolut has begun rolling out EURR, its first euro-backed stablecoin, to selected customers in Denmark, Poland and Portugal, putting a branded onchain euro inside its app while Bridge Building S.A. serves as issuer and redemption counterparty.
Bridge Building is the legal issuer; Revolut describes it as a Stripe company. Revolut Digital Assets Europe Ltd acts as the offeror and is admitting EURR to trading on the Revolut X platform, according to Revolut’s legal disclosure.
The arrangement makes the rollout a distribution play: Revolut provides access through an app used by more than 75 million customers, although EURR is initially limited to eligible users in the three test markets. Revolut said users can move between euros, crypto, external wallets and supported blockchain networks.
Revolut says more markets are set to follow and expects wider EURR availability later this year. Stablecoins tied to other currencies are also in development.
A Regulated Issuer, but a Small Supply SnapshotEURR is an e-money token under the European Union’s Markets in Crypto-Assets framework. Luxembourg’s Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier lists Bridge Building as an active electronic money institution authorized on June 29, 2026. The regulator separately lists Bridge as an active crypto-asset service provider with custody, exchange and transfer permissions.
Tokenholders have the right to redeem EURR at par against Bridge at any time, subject to the applicable terms and redemption process. Bridge’s reserve page says funds received for EURR are safeguarded in segregated accounts at regulated credit institutions or invested in eligible, highly liquid euro-denominated instruments.
The supply snapshot was €374. Bridge reported 374 EURR in circulation and €374 in reserve assets as of Aug. 25, with all of the reported backing held as cash deposits in credit institutions. Bridge identifies Ethereum and Polygon as EURR chains.
By comparison, Circle reported €394.5 million of EURC in circulation as of Aug. 24. Circle identifies EURC on Avalanche, Base, Cronos, Ethereum, Solana, Stellar and World Chain.
Bridge is authorized as an electronic money institution in Luxembourg. Circle Internet Financial Europe SAS issues EURC under an electronic money institution license from France’s Autorité de Contrôle Prudentiel et de Résolution. For EURR, Bridge carries the issuance and redemption role while Revolut supplies the brand and customer channel.
Revolut says more markets are set to follow and expects wider EURR availability later this year.

Starbucks zvýšil výhled zisku na fiskální rok 2026 na 2,55 až 2,65 USD na akcii po silnějších srovnatelných tržbách a maržích. Tržby za 3. čtvrtletí ale klesly o 1,4 % na 9,32 miliardy USD.
A month has gone by since the last earnings report for Starbucks (SBUX - Free Report) . Shares have added about 1.3% in that time frame, underperforming the S&P 500.
Will the recent positive trend continue leading up to its next earnings release, or is Starbucks due for a pullback? Well, first let's take a quick look at its latest earnings report in order to get a better handle on the recent catalysts for Starbucks Corporation before we dive into how investors and analysts have reacted as of late.
Starbucks Q3 Earnings Beat Estimates, Comp Sales RiseStarbucks Corporation reported mixed third-quarter fiscal 2026 results, with adjusted earnings beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate but net revenues missing the same.
Adjusted earnings of 85 cents per share topped the consensus estimate of 66 cents by 28.8% and increased 70% year over year. Net revenues of $9.32 billion missed the consensus mark of $9.44 billion by 1.22% and declined 1.4%. Global comparable store sales increased 7.9%, driven by transaction and ticket growth.
SBUX’s Margins Expand Despite Restructuring CostsStarbucks’ GAAP operating income increased 4.8% year over year to $980.4 million. GAAP operating margin expanded 60 basis points to 10.5%, supported by sales leverage and lower inflation paired with tariff refunds.
These benefits were partially offset by higher restructuring costs and labor investments largely tied to the “Back to Starbucks” plan. Restructuring and impairment expenses increased to $302.6 million from $20.8 million in the prior-year quarter.
On a non-GAAP basis, operating margin expanded 430 basis points year over year to 14.4%. Product and distribution costs declined 4.3%, while depreciation and amortization expenses decreased 15.4%. General and administrative expenses fell 11.6%.
Starbucks North America Gains on Higher TrafficNorth America remained Starbucks’ largest revenue contributor. Segment net revenues increased 6.8% year over year to $7.40 billion, primarily reflecting growth in company-operated store revenues.
Comparable store sales rose 8.1%, driven by a 4.5% increase in comparable transactions and a 3.5% rise in average ticket. The company attributed the improvement to higher delivery sales and strength in customer food attachment and beverage modifications.
North America’s operating income increased 9.8% to $1.01 billion from $918.7 million. Operating margin expanded 30 basis points to 13.6%, aided by sales leverage, lower inflation, tariff refunds and the comparison with Leadership Experience costs in 2025.
Higher restructuring expenses, labor investments supporting the company’s turnaround strategy and unfavorable product mix partly offset the segment’s profitability gains.
SBUX’s International Results Reflect China ShiftInternational segment net revenues declined 34.2% year over year to $1.32 billion. The decrease primarily reflected the conversion of Starbucks retail operations in China to a licensed joint venture model during the fiscal third quarter.
Comparable store sales grew 5.7%, supported by a 2.6% rise in transactions and a 3.1% increase in average ticket. Starbucks ended the quarter with 22,933 International stores, up 3% year over year.
International operating income declined 7.3% to $252.8 million. However, operating margin expanded 550 basis points to 19.1%, primarily benefiting from the transition of the China business to the licensed joint venture structure. Higher restructuring costs partly offset the margin improvement.
Starbucks’ Channel Development Business AcceleratesChannel Development posted strong fiscal third-quarter growth, with net revenues increasing 21.5% year over year to $587.9 million. This improvement was primarily driven by higher revenues from the Global Coffee Alliance.
Segment operating income increased 40.2% to $306.2 million from $218.4 million. Operating margin expanded 700 basis points to 52.1%, supported by tariff impacts, including refunds.
These benefits were partially offset by product mix shifts and lower income from the North American Coffee Partnership joint venture relative to segment revenue growth.
SBUX Strengthens Cash Position and Reduces DebtStarbucks ended the quarter with cash and cash equivalents of $3.45 billion, up from $3.22 billion at the end of fiscal 2025. Long-term debt declined to $11.78 billion from $14.58 billion.
During the first three quarters of fiscal 2026, operating activities generated $3.60 billion in cash. Capital expenditures totaled $887.8 million, while cash dividends paid amounted to $2.12 billion.
The company used a portion of the China transaction proceeds to repurchase approximately $1.3 billion of outstanding senior notes through tender offers. Starbucks declared a quarterly dividend of 62 cents per share, payable Aug. 28, 2026, to shareholders of record as of Aug. 14.
Starbucks Raises Fiscal 2026 Earnings OutlookStarbucks raised its fiscal 2026 outlook following stronger comparable-sales and margin performance. The company now expects full-year U.S. comparable store sales growth slightly above 6%, compared with its previous forecast of at least 5%. Global comparable store sales growth is projected to approach 6%, up from the earlier expectation of at least 5%.
For the fiscal fourth quarter, SBUX expects U.S. comparable store sales growth of at least 6.5%. Consolidated net revenues are projected to remain flat or increase slightly year over year, while non-GAAP operating margin is expected to exceed 11%. Previously, management had called for year-over-year non-GAAP operating margin improvement without providing a specific threshold.
The company raised its adjusted earnings guidance to $2.55-$2.65 per share from the prior range of $2.25-$2.45. Starbucks maintained its plan to open approximately 600-650 net new coffeehouses globally across company-operated and licensed businesses.
How Have Estimates Been Moving Since Then?Since the earnings release, investors have witnessed a upward trend in fresh estimates.
VGM ScoresCurrently, Starbucks has a great Growth Score of A, though it is lagging a lot on the Momentum Score front with a C. Charting a somewhat similar path, the stock was allocated a grade of D on the value side, putting it in the bottom 40% for value investors.
Overall, the stock has an aggregate VGM Score of C. If you aren't focused on one strategy, this score is the one you should be interested in.
OutlookEstimates have been broadly trending upward for the stock, and the magnitude of these revisions looks promising. Interestingly, Starbucks has a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold). We expect an in-line return from the stock in the next few months.
Performance of an Industry PlayerStarbucks belongs to the Zacks Retail - Restaurants industry. Another stock from the same industry, Cheesecake Factory (CAKE - Free Report) , has gained 8.7% over the past month. More than a month has passed since the company reported results for the quarter ended June 2026.
Cheesecake Factory reported revenues of $1.03 billion in the last reported quarter, representing a year-over-year change of +7.7%. EPS of $1.44 for the same period compares with $1.16 a year ago.
For the current quarter, Cheesecake Factory is expected to post earnings of $0.85 per share, indicating a change of +25% from the year-ago quarter. The Zacks Consensus Estimate has changed +18.7% over the last 30 days.
Cheesecake Factory has a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) based on the overall direction and magnitude of estimate revisions. Additionally, the stock has a VGM Score of B.
Akcie společnosti Moderna v úterý vzrostly téměř o 13 % po zvýšení doporučení od Wolfe Research a pozitivních výsledcích pozdní fáze její personalizované vakcíny proti rakovině. Studie INTerpath-001 splnila hlavní cíl přežití bez recidivy a také sekundární cíl.
Moderna Stock Jumps as Wolfe Upgrade Puts Cancer Pipeline in Spotlight Summary
Moderna shares rallied as Wolfe Research upgraded the stock following encouraging late-stage results for its personalized cancer vaccine
Moderna MRNA shares climbed nearly 13% on Tuesday as investors weighed new analyst support following encouraging results from the company's late-stage cancer program.
The move came after Wolfe Research upgraded its view on the biotechnology company. BofA Securities also recently lifted its price target to $170, adding to the positive analyst momentum around the stock.
The focus is on Moderna's partnership with Merck and their Phase 3 INTerpath-001 study. The trial tested intismeran autogene, an individualized mRNA-based vaccine, together with Keytruda in patients with surgically treated high-risk melanoma.
Results released Aug. 19 showed the study achieved its main measure of recurrence-free survival. It also met a secondary goal involving the time before melanoma spread to other parts of the body.
The data could help reinforce Moderna's efforts to build a broader pipeline beyond its established vaccine business. Investors will likely look for additional clinical progress as the oncology program advances.
Positive cancer data and rising analyst support could provide another catalyst for Moderna shares, although further clinical developments remain important.

Moderna za poslední rok vzrostla zhruba o 440 % po oznámení, že její studie fáze III melanomu se společností Merck splnila stanovené cíle. Předtím už bylo známo, že nábor skončil a Merck hradil 50 % nákladů.

This article was written by Doug Nathman, with research by his team at Trefis.
Moderna (MRNA) shares have surged over the past year, with the event that more than doubled its valuation in a single trading day occurring on August 19, 2026. On that date, Merck and Moderna announced that their Phase III melanoma trial of intismeran autogene in conjunction with KEYTRUDA had achieved its specified endpoints. Rather than focusing on what transpired on that specific day, the more pertinent question is what signs were observable beforehand. All of this information had been publicly available well prior to the readout, with some details dating back to early 2025.
Enrollment Had Already Concluded For The Melanoma TrialBy the time of its fourth-quarter 2024 report, Moderna had already communicated the crucial information: the Phase III adjuvant melanoma investigation involving intismeran, the personalized neoantigen treatment developed with Merck, was completely enrolled. This trial was among ten programs prioritized by the company for approval. A fully enrolled study no longer faces recruitment challenges; rather, it becomes a matter of counting participants and waiting for events to accumulate. The timing of its conclusion and the outcome remained uncertain.
Cost Reductions And A Collaborator Covered The WaitThe figures presented in the reports suggested a company under strain. As per its fiscal Q2 2025 results, the final quarterly report submitted before the surge commenced, trailing-twelve-month revenue was $3.06 billion, representing a 38.8% decline year over year, while the trailing operating margin was -107.1%. Alongside these results, Moderna announced it would be reducing its workforce by approximately 10%, and Merck was covering 50% of the expenses related to intismeran, as per management’s statements at that time, allowing the readout to be achieved without requiring total financial backing from the company.
Options Traders Had Stopped Anticipating An Unusually Large MovementBy August 8, 2025, implied volatility for Moderna had dropped to the 12th percentile of its trailing one-year range, a decline from the 34th percentile observed in early July 2025. A low percentile does not signal a bullish outlook; instead, it indicates that traders expected a smaller shift than what is typically seen, regardless of direction. The implied volatility was recorded at 56.9, with this percentile being calculated solely against the stock’s own historical performance over the past year.
What The Indicators Could ConveyOver the previous year, the stock yielded roughly 440%, in contrast to the approximately 21% return for the S&P 500. Pfizer saw an 18.4% increase while Alnylam Pharmaceuticals faced a 48.5% decrease in the same timeframe, indicating this was not a sector-wide reassessment. Following the melanoma data release, investors betting against the stock experienced unprecedented one-day losses. The indicators preceding the surge, all documented a year or more before the data arrived, outlined the nature of the risk rather than its outcome: enrollment had closed, funding was divided, and the market had ceased compensating for movements. The stock is currently priced around $145, at the higher end of its 52-week range of $22.36 to $174.38.
Moderna ve středu klesla o 7 % bez nové firemní zprávy, po úterním růstu o 14 % po zvýšení doporučení od Wolfe Research na Peer Perform z Underperform. Trh tak dál řeší valuaci kolem 59 miliard USD při čtvrtletních tržbách jen 145 milionů USD.
Moderna stock shed 7% on Wednesday with no company news to blame, reopening a brutal question that its 439% year-to-date rally had been drowning out: what exactly does a $59 billion valuation buy on a revenue base this thin?
This post may contain links from our sponsors and affiliates, and Flywheel Publishing may receive compensation for actions taken through them.
Moderna stock is giving back a large chunk of Tuesday’s rally. The pullback reopens a question that a summer melt-up has largely papered over: what does a market capitalization near $59 billion actually value on this income statement?
Moderna (NASDAQ:MRNA | MRNA Price Prediction) stock is down 7% to $148.02 midday Wednesday, and no fresh company news is on the wire to explain the slide. Also lower, BioNTech SE (NASDAQ:BNTX) stock is down 2% to $111.60, a much shallower giveback that suggests the pain is Moderna-specific.
The iShares Biotechnology ETF (NASDAQ:IBB) is down 0.6% to $215.04, so the biotech cluster is barely wobbling. Meanwhile, the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (NYSEARCA:SPY) is unchanged at $765.57, keeping the broad market backdrop quiet.
Profit-Taking After a Vertical Run Moderna stock closed 14% higher on Tuesday, back above $150, after Wolfe Research upgraded Moderna stock to Peer Perform from Underperform. The firm offered no new price target and pegged unadjusted peak sales at $9.2 billion across the four main indications for intismeran, the personalized cancer vaccine Moderna is developing with Merck (NYSE:MRK).
That upgrade capped a violent ascent. Moderna stock was up 439% year to date through Tuesday’s close, so a 7% giveback here reads as profit-taking after a rally that stretched the chart well beyond any near-term news catalyst.
The move has been remarkably compressed on a shorter frame as well. Moderna stock was up 194% over the trailing month through Tuesday’s close, so a 7% single-day pullback sits well within the range of recent daily swings for the name.
Modest Fundamentals for a $59 Billion Cap Moderna carries no trailing P/E ratio, because there is no trailing profit to divide into. Q2 2026 revenue was $145 million, up 2.1% year over year, and the loss of $1.97 per share matched the $1.97 consensus estimate exactly. The net loss narrowed to $782 million from $825 million a year earlier, aided by cost of sales that fell 22% to $93 million on manufacturing productivity gains.
Q1 2026 was noisier for Moderna: a loss of $3.40 per share on $389 million in revenue, with a net loss of $1.34 billion that absorbed an $878 million non-recurring litigation settlement charge. Full-year 2025 revenue was $1.94 billion, down 39%, and the company posted a net loss of $2.82 billion, or $7.26 per share.
Moderna’s management guides to up to 10% revenue growth in 2026 and year-end cash and investments of $4.7 billion to $5.2 billion. The bull case is a pipeline story where Wolfe Research alone sees $9.2 billion in peak sales from one program, and that pipeline value is legitimately hard to capture in a trailing earnings multiple. The bear case is that a $59.09 billion valuation now embeds a drug that isn’t yet approved on a revenue base of $145 million a quarter.
BioNTech Repricing With Less Drama BioNTech stock is moving far more calmly on the same session, and that gap matters. Moderna stock has repriced harder in both directions during the last week, so the read-across from Moderna stock’s session to the wider mRNA group looks weaker than it did a month ago.
The read-across works in both directions here. Moderna stock’s rally has been about proprietary pipeline optionality rather than a rising tide for mRNA platforms, which makes BioNTech SE’s muted follow-through a coherent signal on its own terms.
Merck sits in the story as the partner name on intismeran. The Moderna and Merck program is running together with KEYTRUDA across melanoma, non-small cell lung cancer, bladder cancer and renal cell carcinoma, which is where the $9.2 billion peak sales figure ultimately has to be earned.
What to Watch Next Given the violence of recent moves, investors sizing their exposure here may want to keep their position sizing modest and define their risk budget before adding on either dips or breakouts. Single-session swings of 7% down one day and 14% up the day before aren’t a backdrop in which full-size trades protect capital well.
Investors can watch for whether Moderna stock get capture and maintain the $150 level, which would frame the current pullback as a healthy shakeout rather than the start of a broader unwind after the year-to-date run. Moreover, traders could look for signs that the biotech cluster stays firm as Moderna decompresses, since a widening gap between the mRNA leader and its sector suggests the market is now trading pipeline outcomes over platform hype.

Moderna oznámila soukromé umístění konvertibilních seniorních dluhopisů za 2,0 miliardy USD se splatností v roce 2032. Prostředky z emise chce použít na obecné firemní účely, včetně rozvoje onkologie a splácení dluhu.
Proceeds to be utilized for general corporate purposes which may include the flexibility to invest in the growth of our oncology business and repayment of debt
Moderna will also purchase a hedge overlay intended to offset dilution up to a cap initially equal to at least a 150% premium to the stock price at pricing
CAMBRIDGE, MA / ACCESS Newswire / August 27, 2026 / Moderna, Inc. (NASDAQ:MRNA) ("Moderna"), today announced that it intends to offer, subject to market conditions and other factors, $2.0 billion aggregate principal amount of Convertible Senior Notes due 2032 (the "notes") in a private placement (the "offering") only to persons reasonably believed to be "qualified institutional buyers" pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). Moderna also intends to grant the initial purchasers of the notes an option to purchase, for settlement during a 13-day period beginning on, and including, the date on which the notes are first issued, up to an additional $300.0 million aggregate principal amount of the notes.
The notes will be general senior unsecured obligations of Moderna. The notes will not bear regular interest and the principal amount of the notes will not accrete. Upon conversion, Moderna will pay or deliver, as the case may be, cash, shares of Moderna's common stock or a combination of cash and shares of Moderna's common stock, at Moderna's election. The final terms of the notes, including the initial conversion rate and certain other terms, will be determined at the time of the pricing of the notes.
Moderna expects to use the net proceeds from the offering (i) to pay the cost of the privately negotiated capped call transactions described below and (ii) for general corporate purposes, which may include the flexibility to invest in the growth of our oncology business and repayment of debt.
In connection with the pricing of the notes, Moderna expects to enter into privately negotiated capped call transactions with one or more of the initial purchasers or affiliates thereof and/or other financial institutions (the "option counterparties"). The capped call transactions will cover, subject to customary adjustments, the number of shares of Moderna's common stock that will initially underlie the notes. The capped call transactions are expected generally to reduce the potential dilution to Moderna's common stock upon any conversion of notes and/or offset any cash payments Moderna is required to make in excess of the principal amount of converted notes, as the case may be, with such reduction and/or offset subject to a cap. Moderna anticipates that the cap price of the capped call transactions will initially represent a premium of at least 150% over the last reported sale price of the common stock on the pricing date of the offering. If the initial purchasers exercise their option to purchase additional notes, Moderna expects to use a portion of the net proceeds from the sale of the additional notes to enter into additional capped call transactions with the option counterparties.
In connection with establishing their initial hedges of the capped call transactions, Moderna expects that the option counterparties or their respective affiliates will purchase shares of Moderna's common stock and/or enter into various derivative transactions with respect to Moderna's common stock concurrently with or shortly after the pricing of the notes. This activity could increase (or reduce the size of any decrease in) the market price of Moderna's common stock or the notes at that time.
In addition, Moderna expects that the option counterparties or their respective affiliates may modify their hedge positions by entering into or unwinding various derivatives with respect to Moderna's common stock and/or purchasing or selling Moderna's common stock or other securities of Moderna in secondary market transactions following the pricing of the notes and prior to the maturity of the notes (and are likely to do so following any early conversion, repurchase or redemption of the notes, to the extent Moderna unwinds a corresponding portion of the capped call transactions or if Moderna otherwise unwinds all or a portion of the capped call transactions, and during the final observation period for the conversion of notes). This activity could also cause or avoid an increase or a decrease in the market price of Moderna's common stock or the notes, which could affect the ability of a holder of notes to convert the notes and, to the extent the activity occurs during any observation period related to a conversion of notes, it could affect the number of shares and value of the consideration, if any, that a holder of notes will receive upon conversion of the notes.

Konsorcium investiční společnosti Advent International a zpracovatele plateb Stripe ustoupilo od snahy převzít zhruba za 53 miliard dolarů (1,1 bilionu Kč) americkou platební společnost PayPal Holdings. S odkazem na informované zdroje to ve čtvrtek uvedla agentura Bloomberg. PayPal už dříve avizoval, že nabídku považuje za nedostatečnou, protože nedoceňuje vyhlídky podniku.
Ani jedna z uvedených firem se nechtěla ke zprávě Bloombergu vyjádřit. Agentura Reuters v červenci informovala, že zájemci nabídli za jednu akcii PayPalu 60,50 USD, což bylo tehdy výrazně nad tržní cenou. Ta se od té doby v reakci na zájem o podnik zvýšila, ve čtvrtek uzavřela na trhu Nasdaq v New Yorku na 61,47 USD. Po zprávě, že konsorcium od snahy o převzetí podniku ustoupilo, cena klesla o více než 13 procent k 53 dolarům.
PayPal se potýká s rostoucí konkurencí, kterou představují například služby Apple Pay a Google Pay. Vedení společnosti se zároveň snaží podpořit cenu akcií firmy v situaci, kdy její růst zpomaluje. Spojením firem Stripe a PayPal, dvou z nejvyužívanějších platebních platforem pro internetové obchodníky, by vznikla jedna z největších světových společností pro on-line platby s ročním objemem zpracovaných transakcí kolem 3,7 bilionu dolarů (76,7 bilionu Kč).
PayPal v roce 2023 poprvé po deseti letech vyměnil generálního ředitele, stal se jím Alex Chriss. Letos v březnu ho vystřídal Enrique Lores, který zahájil rozsáhlou restrukturalizaci s cílem zjednodušit fungování podniku a více se zaměřit na růst. V dubnu PayPal rozdělil své aktivity do tří divizí, které pokrývají platební proces při nákupu, spotřebitelské finanční služby Venmo a oblast plateb a kryptoměn. Zároveň firma provedla řadu změn ve vedení.
Společnost PayPal byla založena koncem 90. let a patřila k průkopníkům digitálních plateb, k zakladatelům patřil i podnikatel Elon Musk, v současné době nejbohatší člověk světa. V posledních letech ale PayPal čelí sílící konkurenci alternativních platebních metod a služeb. Tržní hodnota společnosti dosáhla vrcholu přibližně 360 miliard dolarů v roce 2021, letos klesla až zhruba na 36 miliard dolarů. Za posledních 12 měsíců firma ztratila více než 40 procent své tržní hodnoty.
Nordson Electronics Solutions uvedla ASYMTEK Vantage XL, nový systém pro přesné dávkování kapalin pro panel-level packaging a další pokročilé polovodičové aplikace. Firma slibuje vyšší přesnost, omezení deformací a vyšší propustnost.
CARLSBAD, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nordson Electronics Solutions, a global leader in reliable electronics manufacturing technologies, introduces the new ASYMTEK Vantage® XL fluid dispensing platform, designed specifically to address the demanding requirements of panel-level packaging (PLP) and other advanced semiconductor packaging applications.
The ASYMTEK Vantage® XL addresses the unique challenges of panel-level packaging with enhanced dispensing accuracy, warpage mitigation, and higher throughput capabilities
Share The ASYMTEK Vantage XL extends Nordson's proven Vantage dispensing platform to larger panel formats, enabling manufacturers to develop next-generation advanced packaging processes and scale production with greater accuracy, throughput, and process control.
Panel-level packaging (PLP) enables higher throughput and lower manufacturing costs compared to wafer-level operations, especially as package sizes grow and throughput demands accelerate for artificial intelligence (AI) applications and automotive electrification. However, scaling large-format panels introduces challenges including warpage control, thermal management, and dispensing accuracy, all of which require specialized process controls.
Designed specifically to address these challenges in PLP, the ASYMTEK Vantage XL Fluid Dispensing System delivers:
Improved dispensed underfill flow and warpage mitigation for void-free results. Flexible tooling support for large panel sizes during semiconductor manufacturing. Integrated thermal management for rapid heating and temperature uniformity across the substrate. Multi-fiducial capture for fast, accurate alignment. Confocal height sensing for reflective and transparent glass panels. Post-dispense inspection for efficient and process rework. Based upon the popular Vantage dispensing system, in a larger platform frame to accommodate common panel sizes. The new ASYMTEK Vantage XL fluid dispensing system will be on display during SEMICON Taiwan 2026, booth #I2308. In addition, Nordson will highlight the new MARCH ExoSPHERE™ plasma treatment system, which supports advanced packaging processes by providing uniform surface preparation for panels and wafers. SEMICON Taiwan 2026 will be held at TaiNEX Hall 1, Taipei, Taiwan, September 2-4, 2026.

Amrita Ahuja, the CFO and COO of Block, Inc. (XYZ -0.95%), disclosed the disposition of 31,013 shares on August 20 and August 21, as detailed in a recent SEC Form 4 filing.

Key questionsWhat were the mechanics behind the reported share disposition?
The transaction was comprised of two distinct components: 18,401 shares were withheld by the company to satisfy income tax obligations linked to the settlement of restricted stock units, and 12,612 shares were sold via a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan adopted on March 2.How does the current market price compare to the execution levels?

What this transaction means for investorsAhuja had 18,401 shares withheld when restricted stock settled and sold 12,612 more under a plan she adopted on March 2, months before the quarter that moved the stock. It's not her only disposition to surface this month; there was an 8,971-share sale for roughly $770,000 in early August.
Meanwhile, Block reported gross profit up 25% to $3.17 billion on August 5, adjusted earnings of $1.02 a share, up 65%, and a record 27% operating margin for the latest quarter, resulting in a third straight raise to full-year guidance. However, shares still fell about 6% the next day, as investors scrutinized third-quarter gross profit growth falling to 18% and then slowing further in the fourth quarter to the mid-teens. "Our budgets obviously are going up," CFO Amrita Ahuja said on the call about AI, though she argued the company routes work to cheaper and open-source models to hold the bill down. Legal costs are climbing, too. Block's second-quarter 10-Q lifted the accrued loss on an open Justice Department investigation, tied to a 2023 short-seller report on Cash App, to $526 million from $240 million three months earlier, and the company has said the eventual figure could run higher.

What this transaction means for investorsGrassadonia sold 17,765 shares under a trading plan adopted on June 2, 2025, with part of the total withheld for taxes on settled stock, leaving 513,981 shares in his direct name. Fourteen months between adoption and execution takes the timing question off the table here. The company's growth story is much more important for investors, especially now: Cash App monthly transacting actives reached 59 million in June, up just 3%, and that slowing growth rattled investors and sent the stock down about 6% the day after the company's latest earnings report, despite a record 27% operating margin and a guidance raise. Cash App gross profit still grew 31% to $1.97 billion with inflows per active user up 9%, so Block is earning more from a base that has stopped widening.
For now, Block's answer is Neighborhoods, the program that steers Cash App users to Square sellers. Annualized seller GPV on it crossed $1 billion in June and grew 220% year over year, and on the company earnings call this month, Business Lead Owen Jennings said that spend from followers reaches about 10% of a seller's GPV within three quarters, and management plans to spend harder on it in the back half, which makes the next report an important signal as to whether linking the two ecosystems adds users or just deepens the ones already there.

DaVita uzavřela s Humana novou value-based dohodu pro více než 10 000 členů s chronickým onemocněním ledvin. Cílem je zpomalit nebo zabránit dialýze a snížit počet hospitalizací.
More than 10,000 members will get added support aimed at delaying or preventing dialysis and reducing hospitalizations
, /PRNewswire/ -- DaVita today announced a new value-based care agreement to deliver comprehensive, coordinated care to Humana Medicare Advantage members with chronic kidney disease (CKD) stages 3B–5.
Launched July 1, this partnership builds on the organizations' long-standing collaboration in end stage kidney disease and expands earlier into the disease journey, when intervention can have the greatest impact.
As the healthcare system aims for more impactful, value-based, preventive care, DaVita continues to lead in managing complex chronic conditions earlier. Through DaVita Integrated Kidney Care (DaVita IKC), patients receive coordinated, whole-person care that addresses the interconnected nature of cardiovascular, kidney and metabolic health — reducing fragmentation and avoidable hospital admissions.
"We are in a therapeutic revolution across kidney care where upstream interventions are helping to reshape patient outcomes," said Dr. Sonia Samagh, national medical director for DaVita IKC. "Through our partnership with Humana, we are deploying advanced care that treats the whole patient, preserves kidney function and serves as a central hub for managing comorbid conditions affecting kidney health."
This model builds upon the experience of DaVita's extensive network of 3,000 value-based nephrologist partners. Through continued collaboration and innovation alongside these specialists, DaVita aims to drive deeper patient engagement, impactful clinical outcomes and an unmatched care experience.
The partnership will serve more than 10,000 patients.
Intervening Earlier in Disease Progression
The program focuses on CKD patients beginning at a pivotal point when kidney decline often accelerates but remains underdiagnosed or undertreated. By engaging patients earlier and more consistently, the model is designed to stabilize kidney function and slow disease progression.
Closing Gaps in Care for Patients with Complex Conditions
Not every patient can avoid kidney failure, despite the best clinical interventions. When that happens, advanced and coordinated care helps patients prepare for the next stage of their health journey through early education, advance care planning and coordinated support. Patients receive guidance on treatment options, including home dialysis and kidney transplantation, and are supported by an interdisciplinary care team that helps address barriers to care such as nutrition, transportation and mental health needs, enabling a smoother transition and better patient experience.
"The kidneys are often an early indicator that something else is happening systemically within the body. To truly care for the kidneys, we must uncover and address those underlying health issues," said Dr. Samagh. "When we do this, we can work to preserve kidney function, support reduced hospitalizations and enhance patients' quality of life."
About DaVita Inc.
DaVita (NYSE: DVA) is a healthcare provider focused on transforming care delivery to improve quality of life for patients globally. As a comprehensive kidney care provider, DaVita has been a leader in clinical quality and innovation for more than 25 years. DaVita cares for patients at every stage and setting along their kidney health journey — from slowing the progression of kidney disease to helping support transplantation. This includes ensuring they are supported at home, in dialysis centers, in the hospital and in skilled nursing facilities. As of June 30, 2026, DaVita served approximately 298,500 patients at 3,266 outpatient dialysis centers, of which 2,671 centers were located in the United States and 595 centers were located in 14 other countries worldwide. DaVita has reduced hospitalizations, improved mortality, helped improve health access and worked collaboratively to propel the kidney care community to adopt a higher quality standard of care for all patients, everywhere.

BlackBerry uvedla, že robotika je jedním z nejrychleji rostoucích byznysů v rámci QNX. Firma má u QNX nevyřízené objednávky za 950 milionů USD, jejichž část tvoří robotika.
Robotics is one of BlackBerry's fastest-growing businesses within its key software division, the CEO told CNBC, as the company positions itself for a future in physical AI.
BlackBerry, once one of the biggest mobile phone makers in the world with its iconic handsets that featured keyboards, has pivoted over the years to focus on other areas. One of its biggest businesses is QNX, which it calls "safety-critical" software that runs in cars.
QNX provides operating systems and other embedded software to underpin features ranging from braking systems to some semi-autonomous driving functions.
QNX has become a strong player in safety-critical automotive software and is embedded in 275 million vehicles, according to BlackBerry. CEO John Giamatteo said QNX is now being used in robotics.
"We think that could be even a faster-growing segment of the industry for things like robotics," Giamatteo told CNBC's "The Tech Download" podcast.
The focus won't be on humanoid robots like those that have gained attention in China recently. Instead, the CEO mentioned robots in industrial settings like warehouses, robotic forklifts, and those used in the medical space.
"As excited as we are about the dynamics of the automotive industry and where that's going, these other applications around robotics and medical instruments and industrial automation represent a tremendous growth opportunity. And one that I think BlackBerry and our QNX portfolio is really well positioned to address," Giamatteo said.
Robotics is one of the company's "fastest-growing businesses inside the QNX portfolio," the CEO said.
The company has a backlog of orders for QNX worth $950 million and "a portion of that is robotics," he added. The CEO did not disclose specific numbers around the robotics orders.
BlackBerry's stock has doubled this year amid improving margins and profitability. The company has positioned itself for future growth areas like robotics and autonomous cars, which are often dubbed examples of physical AI.
BlackBerry stock price year-to-date.
Newer generations of robots can combine specialized hardware with artificial intelligence models and other software. This is where BlackBerry sees its QNX software having an edge, given its experience in the automotive space.
In April, BlackBerry announced an expanded partnership with Nvidia to deploy its software alongside Nvidia's systems in robotics, medical technologies and industrial applications.
"Robotics is going to shift in a hardcore way ... and we couldn't be more excited about the opportunity in front of us," Giamatteo said.
Stable Sea rozšířila nabídku na Stable Sea Terminal o dva tokenizované fondy WisdomTree, WTSIX a FLTTX, vedle stávajícího WTGXX. Firmám tak zpřístupňuje tři fondy registrované u SEC pro správu hotovosti s nízkými minimy.
WTSIX and FLTTX join WTGXX on Stable Sea Terminal, allowing eligible business users access to three tokenized, SEC-registered funds with low minimums via WisdomTree Securities, Inc.
, /PRNewswire/ -- Stable Sea today announced it is expanding its strategic relationship with WisdomTree (NYSE: WT), a global asset manager with more than $150 billion in assets under management, by adding two new tokenized funds to Stable Sea Terminal: the WisdomTree Short-Duration Income Digital Fund (WTSIX) and the WisdomTree Floating Rate Treasury Digital Fund (FLTTX). The newly added funds build upon current access to the WisdomTree Treasury Money Market Digital Fund (WTGXX) on Stable Sea Terminal that began in April 2026, giving finance teams a choice of tokenized, SEC-registered funds to manage operating cash directly inside their treasury workflow.
The Opportunity: Idle Cash Meets a Fast-Growing Market
US businesses collectively hold more than $5 trillion in cash and cash-equivalent accounts that generate minimal to no interest, even as the infrastructure to deploy that cash has matured significantly. Tokenized real-world assets (RWAs), led by U.S. Treasury and money market products, have grown from roughly $6 billion in early 2025 to more than $31 billion by mid-2026, according to industry tracker RWA.xyz, a more than fivefold increase in about 18 months. Tokenized Treasury and money market products alone now account for more than $15 billion of that total, as industry-leading asset managers, including WisdomTree, bring institutional-grade, SEC-registered products onchain.
Despite that growth, most of the benefit has flowed to large institutions, crypto-native firms, and high-net-worth investors. Businesses that fall outside of these sectors — those managing payroll, vendor payments, and working capital rather than a trading desk — have largely been left out, limited not by demand but by high investment minimums, multiple account requirements, and manual back-office processes.
"US businesses collectively hold more than $5 trillion in cash and cash equivalent accounts that earn minimal to no interest, and most of them have no simple way to change that," said Tanner Taddeo, CEO and Co-Founder of Stable Sea. "Adding WTSIX and FLTTX gives finance teams real choice — not just a single yield-bearing option, but a ladder of tokenized funds they can match to the cash flow needs of their business. That's the same kind of cash segmentation large treasury desks have used for decades, now available to any operator inside one platform."
WisdomTree Funds Accessible Through Stable Sea Terminal
Stable Sea Terminal gives finance teams a single cash management platform where they can choose to put idle cash to work across various tokenized funds. With this expansion, eligible Terminal users may choose among three tokenized WisdomTree funds, each with different investment objectives and characteristics:
WisdomTree Treasury Money Market Digital Fund (WTGXX) An SEC-registered money market fund investing in short-term, U.S. Treasury securities, with daily dividend accrual, a 0.25% expense ratio, $1 minimum and SEC yield (7-day) of 3.46%.* WisdomTree Floating Rate Treasury Digital Fund (FLTTX) An SEC-registered fund that seeks to track an index, before expenses, of floating-rate US Treasury obligations, with a 0.05% expense ratio, $25 minimum, and SEC yield (30-day) of 3.75%*. WisdomTree Short-Duration Income Digital Fund (WTSIX) An actively managed fund seeking income consistent with preservation of capital, with a 0.40% expense ratio, $25 minimum, and SEC yield (30-day) of 4.41%.* "Businesses of every size are looking for ways to put idle cash to work, and onchain yield-generation gives them access to financial products once reserved for institutional treasury desks," said Will Peck, Head of Digital Assets at WisdomTree. "Bringing WTSIX and FLTTX to the Stable Sea Terminal extends that access to a new audience, in a format built for how finance teams already operate, rather than asking them to adapt to new infrastructure."
Built To Allow Access for Businesses, Including those Historically Locked Out
High minimums have long put institutional-grade cash management out of reach for the smallest and least-resourced businesses; a gap that falls hardest on groups that already face steeper barriers to capital. Women-owned businesses, for example, typically start with roughly half the capital of male-owned peers ($75,000 vs. $135,000, on average), and are more likely to rely on personal savings and credit cards rather than a business line of credit to manage cash flow, according to Federal Reserve Small Business Credit Survey data cited by the National Women's Business Council. Despite this, women-owned businesses now number more than 14 million and generate an estimated $2.7 trillion in annual revenue.
"Women business owners already start with less capital and lean more heavily on personal savings and credit cards just to keep the lights on," said Corinne Goble, CEO of the Association of Women's Business Centers. "When institutional-grade cash management tools are gated behind six- and seven-figure minimums, the businesses that could benefit most from a few extra points of yield are the ones locked out of it. Lowering that floor so a $25 balance can potentially earn a similar yield as a $10 million one is a meaningful step toward leveling that playing field for the entrepreneurs our centers serve every day."
How It Works
Access to WTSIX and FLTTX is made available through the same integrated workflow Stable Sea already uses for WTGXX: eligible Stable Sea Terminal users establish a relationship with WisdomTree Securities, Inc., an SEC-registered broker-dealer, enabling them to place orders to buy or sell funds from the Stable Sea dashboard.
Stable Sea Terminal is available today. Businesses can sign up at stablesea.com to move, manage, and grow treasury capital, onchain and off, from a single platform.

Crypto exchange BitMart is considering a restructuring that could combine distributions to creditors with a phased restart of some operations, less than four weeks after saying it would shut down, CoinDesk reported.
The proposed plan “The potential plan may include the phased resumption of certain operations in an orderly manner alongside distributions to creditors,” BitMart said in an announcement. The exchange has hired White & Case as restructuring counsel and expects to provide a detailed roadmap by Sept. 9. The reference to creditors marks a change in tone from its July 26 closure notice, which cited only operating conditions, the market environment and future strategy, without giving a specific reason for the shutdown.
Background to the shutdown After nine years in operation, BitMart halted new registrations, deposits and trading orders and moved futures accounts into reduce-only mode. It set Aug. 26 as the deadline for all trading to end and planned to terminate platform operations on Jan. 31, 2027, while keeping withdrawals available under additional compliance checks. The shutdown announcement sent its BMX token down about 58% over 24 hours, extending its year-to-date decline to 83%.
What comes next Details of which operations might restart and how creditor distributions would work have not been disclosed, and the phased resumption remains a proposal rather than a confirmed plan. The roadmap expected by Sept. 9 should clarify the path forward for users with funds still on the platform, including how and when distributions might be made. Until then, withdrawals continue under the compliance checks BitMart put in place when it announced the closure.
What users should watch For customers still holding assets on the exchange, the key dates remain Aug. 26, when all trading is due to end, and Jan. 31, 2027, when platform operations are scheduled to terminate. The appointment of White & Case and the explicit reference to creditor distributions suggest the exchange is now planning a formal wind-down rather than an abrupt closure, though nothing is guaranteed until the roadmap lands. BitMart has not said which products could return or how customer balances would be prioritized in any distribution.
For readers assessing platform risk, our practical look at how to evaluate an exchange’s safety offers useful context.

The three largest sales of new stock by already-public companies this year now share one purpose: funding artificial intelligence (AI).
Chinese e-commerce and cloud giant Alibaba (BABA -0.73%) priced an 80 billion Hong Kong dollar placement (about $10.2 billion) on Sunday, selling 710 million newly issued shares at 112.70 Hong Kong dollars each. The company says 100% of the net proceeds will go into its full-stack AI capabilities, including expanding its AI infrastructure. The deal is expected to close Wednesday.
The market's reaction was quick. Alibaba's Hong Kong-listed shares fell 8.4% in Monday's session there, converging almost exactly on the placement price. The U.S.-listed shares held up better, trading about flat as of this writing after a drop in the premarket.
According to Reuters, the deal ranks as the world's third-largest primary follow-on share sale this year, after offerings from Alphabet (GOOG +0.83%)(GOOGL +0.94%) and Intel (INTC -3.12%), and the largest ever by a Hong Kong-listed company. That list, I'd argue, is the story. The AI build-out has grown past the point where even its richest participants can fund it from cash flow alone.
Image source: Alibaba.
Why Alibaba wants the moneyAlibaba isn't raising cash from a position of weakness in its business. After all, its cloud division's external revenue grew 45% year over year in the June quarter, an acceleration, and the company says its AI-related product revenue has now grown at a triple-digit rate for 12 consecutive quarters.
But the strain shows up below the revenue line. Net income fell 75% year over year to about $1.5 billion last quarter. And free cash flow ran to an outflow of about $6.6 billion, more than double the year-ago quarter's outflow, as capital expenditures jumped 75% year over year to 67.7 billion yuan.
The scale of the plan explains why. Alibaba committed last year to investing at least 380 billion yuan (more than $50 billion) in cloud and AI infrastructure over three years, and the company said last week it has already spent nearly half of it. Management told investors the expected payback period on its AI investments is on track to fall to about 2.5 years from three, driven by demand.
In other words, selling about 4% more shares (710 million new shares) is the price of keeping that pace without draining the balance sheet.
A three-company patternWhat makes the deal notable is less Alibaba than the pattern it completes.
Alphabet went first, in June, announcing an $84.75 billion equity program made up of $34.75 billion in underwritten public offerings, a $40 billion at-the-market program (a large piece of which covers tax obligations on employee stock awards), and a $10 billion private placement to Berkshire Hathaway. Alphabet's services generate enormous cash, and the company still chose to sell stock rather than fund this year's capital expenditures, which it now expects to reach $195 billion to $205 billion, from cash flow alone.
Intel followed in August, pricing a $20 billion common stock sale at $95 per share, upsized from $15 billion the same day on strong demand. The proceeds are for general corporate purposes, including capital expenditures.
Investor appetite for these deals has been striking. Alibaba's placement was oversubscribed, with sovereign wealth funds among the buyers, and the company increased the deal's size, according to Reuters. Notably, Intel's underwriters exercised their full option for additional shares, taking that deal to about $23 billion.
Paying up frontBut the aftermarket tells a more cautious story. Intel now trades near $87 as of this writing, about 8% below the price the offering's buyers paid two weeks ago. And Alibaba's Hong Kong shares closed Monday's session almost exactly at the placement price. The U.S. shares, near $119 as of this writing, sit about 38% below their 52-week high of $192.67 even before the new shares land.

Institutions clearly want exposure to AI infrastructure at scale. Existing shareholders, though, absorb about 4% dilution today in exchange for data centers whose returns arrive over years -- and only if the payback management describes holds up.
I think the equity funding itself is a rational choice. Stock is expensive capital, but it is permanent, and a build-out this large funded with debt would be far riskier.
But the raise moves the bar. Every new share is a claim that the AI infrastructure will eventually earn its cost, and Alibaba's cloud growth now has to make good on that. So far, that growth is accelerating. It will need to keep doing exactly that.
The proposed acquisition is expected to provide the last step in power delivery to the core to complete Navitas’ grid-to-xPU high-power portfolio, accelerating its AI infrastructure strategy under Navitas 2.0 transformation
Anticipated benefits include:
Enabling of all steps of power conversion to be addressed from ultra-high voltage grid down to core/xPUDoubling of Navitas’ 2030 serviceable addressable market (SAM) to over $8 billionExpansion of IP, engineering and technology capabilities across digital control, passive integration, leading-edge mixed signal, and advanced 2D/3D packagingStrengthening of mid- to long-term financial model through revenue acceleration and margin expansion, while maintaining its path to profitability TORRANCE, Calif., Aug. 24, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Navitas Semiconductor Corporation (Nasdaq: NVTS) (Navitas or the Company), the industry leader in next-generation GaNFast™ gallium nitride (GaN) and GeneSiC™ silicon carbide (SiC) power semiconductors, today announced the signing of a definitive agreement to acquire Claros, Inc. (Claros) a power management solutions company developing vertical power delivery (VPD) and integrated voltage regulator (IVR) technology for next-generation AI data centers, in a transaction valued at up to approximately $232.8 million, based on the per share closing price of Navitas’ stock on August 21, 2026.
Navitas’ potential acquisition of Claros would extend the Company’s AI infrastructure portfolio from the grid all the way to the xPU by bringing industry-leading VPD and IVR capabilities that can directly power the high-current, high-speed processors at the heart of modern AI systems.
Today’s most advanced AI xPUs, GPUs, CPUs, TPUs, NPUs, and other accelerators - are running into a fundamental limit. Compute itself is not the bottleneck; it is the power delivery.
The new 800V high-voltage direct current (HVDC) architecture, paving the way for accelerated replacement of silicon by GaN and SiC high-power technologies, the core focus of Navitas 2.0, has started to address this problem, enabling higher-density power architecture and racks. However, on the last step, traditional voltage regulator modules (VRMs) push power sideways across the board, and as xPUs demand thousands of amps and near-instant response times, this lateral approach hits what Navitas refers to as a “power wall”. Bandwidth and compute performance are constrained by the limitations of existing power delivery systems.
Through the combination of Navitas and Claros, the Company expects to break through that wall all the way from grid-to-xPU. Claros’ VPD and IVR technologies stack power conversion, drive, control, and passives into a single, compact package. By placing this solution directly beneath or inside the chip package or printed circuit board, power travels only millimeters instead of inches. The result is ultra-fast transient response, dramatically lower impedance, higher efficiency at sub-volt levels, and the power density required for the next generation of AI compute.
This technology solution will be highly complementary to the GaN and high-voltage and ultra-high voltage SiC portfolio of Navitas, which enables the new 800V HVDC architecture, extending the high-density AI rack architecture in the first steps of the power conversion all the way to the core.
"The future of AI depends on delivering thousands of amps to increasingly power-hungry processors with unprecedented speed and precision,” said Chris Allexandre, President and CEO of Navitas. “The ‘power wall’ currently restricts next-gen xPUs in megawatt-scale server racks from achieving the next wave of AI performance. Combining Claros’ VPD and IVR technologies with Navitas' GaN and high-voltage and ultra-high voltage SiC portfolio, we break the AI infrastructure power wall, advancing the entire power chain from grid-to-xPU. This acquisition follows our Navitas 2.0 transformation and significantly expands our addressable market, deepens our engagement with hyperscalers and AI power platform providers, as well as strengthens our leadership in AI infrastructure in terms of both capabilities and product solutions offering. As AI power demand accelerates, we are uniquely positioned to deliver greater value for our customers, while driving sustainable long-term growth.”
Dan Kultran, Co-founder & CEO of Claros, commented, “Since we launched Claros in 2024, we’ve moved to rapidly redefine the AI data center power system. Navitas is an ideal partner to enable a complete grid-to-xPU power portfolio, deepen and expand our engagement with leading xPU and power customers, and accelerate our next phase of growth. Our companies share a fast-paced, highly innovative culture and a commitment to advancing breakthrough power technologies for years to come. I am very excited for the opportunity to join Chris and the Navitas leadership team.
“Our integrated voltage regulator technology brings power conversion millimeters from the xPU, reducing board-level distribution losses, lowering heat generation, and improving the efficiency of processor-level power delivery. For AI accelerators and high-performance processors, this close-to-chip approach, with Claros’ IP in VPD array architecture, can enable higher compute density, lower operating costs, and more efficient deployment of next-generation AI infrastructure.”
Together, Claros’ VPD and IVR technologies also broaden Navitas’ technology, engineering and IP capabilities with deep expertise in digital control, passive integration, advanced 2D/3D packaging, and leading-edge power and analog mixed-signal technologies, while also adding standalone digital and controller solutions that complement the Company’s GaN portfolio.
The acquisition, when completed, is expected to more than double Navitas’ identified 2030 SAM to over $8 billion, adding at least $3.5 billion from the rapidly growing VPD and IVR markets. Combined with Navitas’ existing $3.5 billion SAM for GaN and HV/UHV SiC and approximately $1 billion from new junction field-effect transistor technology, the acquisition is expected to significantly expand Navitas’ opportunity across the complete grid-to-xPU power chain.
Navitas’ current short-to mid-term financial model and strategy, under its Navitas 2.0 transformation, remain unchanged. Claros’ VPD and IVR technologies provide an additional growth accelerator from 2028/2029 onward alongside Navitas’ strong organic 800V HVDC GaN and SiC growth in AI infrastructure. The Company remains committed to its path toward profitability and does not expect a material change from its previous timeline.
Transaction Structure
Under the terms of the definitive merger agreement, Navitas will acquire Claros in a transaction valued up to approximately $232.8 million, comprised of approximately $216.0 million to be paid at closing in a combination of cash and shares of the Company’s Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (Common Stock), and the remainder of which will be paid in shares of Common Stock on the achievement of certain business milestones during the two years following the closing date. The value of shares of Common Stock that comprise the merger consideration was determined based on the closing share price of a share of Common Stock on August 21, 2026, which was $12.97 (the Reference Price).
In addition, certain continuing Claros employees will be eligible to receive performance based compensation under the Company’s equity incentive plan, payable in shares of Common Stock, having a value of approximately $28.9 million based on the Reference Price, and based on the achievement of these same business milestones. The transaction has been unanimously approved by the boards of directors of both companies and is expected to close before year-end, subject to customary closing conditions, including applicable regulatory approvals.

Ondo Finance překročila 403 000 držitelů napříč 441 tokenizovanými RWA produkty a na platformě drží aktiva za 3,62 miliardy USD. Přesto tento měsíc zaznamenala odlivy kapitálu.
Ondo leads a rapidly expanding field@Ondo Finance has crossed 403,000 holders across 441 tokenized real-world asset products, with total assets on the platform reaching $3.62 billion, according to rwa.xyz data cited by @BSCNews. The milestone places Ondo among the most widely held RWA platforms in the market, sitting atop a sector that is expanding at a striking pace.
The broader picture is equally notable. The near-doubling of the holder base in a single month points to a shift in adoption that goes beyond gradual institutional uptake.
Competition intensifies as flows shiftDespite Ondo's strong position, the monthly flow data tells a more complicated story. Challengers Spiko and Hastra drew fresh capital during the period, while Ondo, Securitize, and Ethena each recorded outflows. The divergence suggests the market has not yet settled on a small number of dominant platforms, and that newer entrants can still pull in meaningful allocations.
Ondo has also been pushing into new territory beyond its core Treasury products.
The outflows logged this month do not erase Ondo's structural advantages, but they are a reminder that scale alone does not guarantee retention in a market where alternatives are multiplying. The tokenization race, as the holder and flow data both confirm, remains wide open.

CoinDesk: Ondo Finance Tokenized Equities Update
Ondo Finance uvedla, že její platforma Ondo Stocks překročila za osm měsíců tokenizovaná aktiva v hodnotě 1 miliardy USD. Celková uzamčená hodnota dosáhla 1,01 miliardy USD.
Tokenized stocks, digital representations of equities on blockchain networks, are experiencing rapid adoption in global markets. Ondo Finance, a New York-based platform specializing in tokenized financial products, announced that its Ondo Stocks platform surpassed $1 billion in total tokenized value within eight months of its launch—outpacing the growth rates of previously tokenized asset classes such as stablecoins and government bonds.
Rapid growth outpaces other tokenized asset classesAccording to figures released by Ondo Finance, the $1 billion milestone in tokenized stocks was achieved in about eight months. For comparison, the company stated that stablecoins required approximately three years to cross the same threshold, while tokenized Treasuries reached it in 18 months. This acceleration highlights the growing investor appetite for blockchain-based equity products.
Ondo Finance reported $1.01 billion in total value locked on its platform as of August 14. The platform offers access to more than 440 different tokenized US stocks and exchange-traded funds (ETFs), providing a broader range than many competitors. Cumulative trading volume has reached $27 billion since the service launched.
The Block, a leading digital asset news outlet, stated that tokenized equities now account for roughly 15% of the tokenized-stock market, with a total market capitalization approaching $2.8 billion. This represents a threefold increase in market share over the start of 2026, suggesting a sharp uptick in activity and market involvement beyond Ondo Finance’s own ecosystem.
Asset ClassTime to $1 BillionStablecoins3 yearsTokenized Treasuries18 monthsTokenized Stocks (Ondo)8 monthsTrading hours, regulatory landscape, and investor considerationsOne of the distinguishing features of tokenized stocks is the potential to extend trading beyond conventional market hours coupled with blockchain-based settlement, which can offer faster execution compared to traditional systems. However, the underlying rights for investors vary by product structure and jurisdiction. Some tokenized stocks grant holders economic exposure rather than legal ownership, making due diligence essential before investing.
Ondo Finance currently offers its tokenized stock products outside the United States, reflecting ongoing regulatory uncertainties within the American market. Changes in US regulations could significantly impact future accessibility for American investors and shape broader market adoption.
Mini dictionary: Ondo Finance is a fintech company that develops blockchain-based products, including tokenized representations of stocks, Treasuries, and ETFs, aiming to provide greater access to digital asset markets for institutional and retail investors.
Industry voices highlight structural changes in marketsJohn Hoffman, managing director at Ondo Finance, compared current developments in tokenized equities to early-stage exchange-traded funds. He outlined the rapid timeline: “Stablecoins took three years to reach $1 billion. Tokenized treasuries took 18 months to reach $1 billion. And Ondo Stocks did that in eight months.”
Stablecoins took three years to reach $1 billion, tokenized Treasuries needed 18 months, and Ondo Stocks achieved it in just eight months, illustrating the pace at which blockchain-based equities are growing, explained Ondo Finance managing director John Hoffman.
The next phase, Hoffman suggested, will test whether these gains lead to sustained liquidity and broader long-term participation. While Ondo Finance has reported more than 200,000 registered ecosystem holders and a cumulative trading volume of $27 billion, adoption rates and staying power for tokenized stocks will depend on how regulations evolve and whether product demand remains strong.
For traditional finance institutions, the rise of tokenized stock markets signals growing pressure to adapt to blockchain infrastructure for distributing equity products efficiently and securely in the coming years.

In brief A scheduled unlock will release 14,175,778 Hyperliquid tokens on August 29, worth about $1.2 billion at current prices. The release equals 1.4% of total supply and 2.7% of HYPE's market capitalization. Nearly 47% of the unlocked tokens go to insiders — the largest single share of this release. Hyperliquid, the layer-1 blockchain and perpetual futures exchange, is on a tear—and investors in the project’s native token HYPE are reaping the benefits.
Hyperliquid, which trades as HYPE, touched an all-time high of $83.27 on Sunday before slipping to around $77.50, data from CoinGecko shows. The token's market cap sits near $19.5 billion. That run-up, though, is about to collide with a supply release the tracking site Tokenomics.com lists as the largest of Hyperliquid's monthly unlocks.
Myriad: Ethereum next price move? Click to make your prediction.Every month since the November 2024 launch, Hyperliquid has freed a slice of its 1 billion-token supply on a fixed calendar. The August 29 event is the fourth in a row to send tokens to three recipient groups: community, foundation, and insiders. Insiders (the early investors) take the largest single share of this release—46.6%, against 46.3% for the community (grants, rewards, airdrops, etc.) and 7% for the Hyper Foundation.
Token unlocks don't automatically tank a price. They raise the number of tokens that can be sold, and the new supply can pressure the market if recipients cash out. The site's own price-impact history is mixed: After the three prior monthly unlocks, HYPE fell 7% (July), rose 1% (June), and dropped 14.1% (May) in the days that followed.
But unlocks routed to investors and early contributors are the ones traders watch—those holders paid little and have more reason to take profits than a community pool does.
Hyperliquid has been in the news for more than its token chart. Coinbase added 50x perpetual futures to its Base app through Hyperliquid's infrastructure this month, an integration that pushes the protocol deeper into mainstream trading rails.
Perhaps the most bullish news for HYPE investors came mid-last week, when President Donald Trump directly referenced Hyperliquid during a media appearance ahead of a closed-door meeting with cryptocurrency executives. The decentralized exchange for perpetual futures is currently geofenced and unavailable to Americans, but Trump told media the CFTC is “working to bring Hyperliquid into the United States in a fully compliant and legal fashion.”
The push lands as Washington signals a friendlier stance to crypto as a whole. Trump also called on Congress to pass a "fair version" of the Clarity Act at a White House crypto meeting.
With HYPE near record levels, the August 29 release drops about $560 million of insider-facing supply onto a market that's already off its peak. The next unlock, of the same size, arrives September 29.
