"Through knowledge sharing and the exploration of opportunities for collaboration in areas such as specialized listings and innovative products, we aim to create new investment opportunities. We look forward to working alongside one of the most prominent exchanges in the Middle East to promote market integration and connect global investors with the promising opportunities in Kuwait and the wider region." 

The MoU aims to enhance technical and knowledge-based cooperation between the two parties. It also seeks to explore opportunities for financial market development through the exchange of expertise, collaboration in the innovation of new financial products and support for sustainable finance initiatives. It is part of Boursa Kuwait's ongoing efforts to strengthen its international presence and reinforce the Kuwaiti capital market's reputation as a trusted destination for regional and international investors.

The signing of this MoU comes amid growing ties between Guernsey and the State of Kuwait.

AZN, Daiichi's Enhertu Gets FDA Nod for First-Line Breast Cancer (Revised) stocknewsapi
AZN
Key Takeaways Enhertu-Perjeta gets FDA nod as first-line option for unresectable or metastatic HER2-positive breast cancer.Phase III DESTINY-Breast09 showed PFS of 40.7 months vs 26.9 months, reducing progression risk by 44%.Following approval, Daiichi is entitled to receive a $150 million milestone under the Enhertu collaboration.
AstraZeneca PLC (AZN - Free Report) and its Japan-based partner Daiichi Sankyo announced that the FDA has approved their blockbuster antibody-drug conjugate (ADC), Enhertu, for first-line use in breast cancer. Enhertu (trastuzumab deruxtecan) is now approved in combination with Roche’s Perjeta (pertuzumab) as first-line treatment for adult patients with unresectable or metastatic HER2-positive breast cancer in the United States. This approval is based on data from the phase III DESTINY-Breast09 study, followed by a priority review and Breakthrough Therapy designation by the FDA.

The regulatory application for Enhertu was reviewed under the FDA’s real-time oncology review (RTOR) program.

Enhertu is already approved for the second-line treatment of patients with HER2-positive breast cancer in more than 85 countries, including the United States. It is also approved in HER2-targeted indications for lung and gastric cancers.

Following the approval of Enhertu for first-line use in breast cancer, AstraZeneca is entitled to pay Daiichi Sankyo $150 million as a milestone payment.

Over the past year, AZN’s shares have surged 36.3% compared with the industry’s 12.1% rise.

DESTINY-Breast09 Study Data Supports Enhertu’s Expanded UseIn the DESTINY-Breast09 study, the Enhertu-Perjeta combination demonstrated a statistically significant improvement in progression-free survival and reduced the risk by 44% compared with the current standard regimen — taxane chemotherapy combined with Roche’s cancer drugs Herceptin and Perjeta (“THP”) for patients with HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer. The median progression-free survival (PFS) was 40.7 months for patients treated with the Enhertu-Perjeta combo, compared with 26.9 months with THP.

AstraZeneca and Daiichi entered a global collaboration in March 2019 to jointly develop and commercialize Enhertu, followed by an expansion of the partnership in July 2020 to include Datroway (datopotamab deruxtecan). Daiichi Sankyo is responsible for the manufacturing and supply of Enhertu and Datroway. Daiichi records sales of Enhertu in the United States.

This Real Estate Stock Is Yielding 12% (Legally) stocknewsapi
NLY
This REIT offers a really high dividend yield.

The S&P 500's dividend yield is currently around 1.2%. So, when a stock like Annaly Capital Management (NLY +2.47%) offers a yield more than 10 times above that level, it seems like something is off.

However, that's not the case with this real estate investment trust (REIT). It must legally pay out 90% of its taxable income in dividends to remain in compliance with IRS regulations.

Image source: Getty Images.

A monster yield from the real estate sector
Annaly Capital Management is a mortgage REIT. It invests in Agency mortgage-backed securities (mortgage pools guaranteed against credit losses by government agencies, such as Fannie Mae), non-agency residential mortgages, and mortgage servicing rights. These mortgage investments typically yield low-risk, fixed-rate returns in the low to mid-single digits. Through the use of leverage, Annaly can earn higher returns, currently in the double digits across all three strategies.

The mortgage REIT reported $0.73 per share of earnings available for distribution (EAD) in the third quarter, up from $0.66 per share in the year-ago period. That easily covered its $0.70 per share dividend payment. Its EAD was $0.73 per share in the second quarter and $0.72 per share in the prior two quarters. The improvement in EAD over the past year enabled Annaly Capital Management to hike its dividend payment earlier this year from its previous level of $0.65 per share.

As long as Annaly's EAD remains above the current dividend level, it will be able to maintain the payment rate. However, its EAD can fluctuate based on interest rates and market conditions. In 2022, Annaly's EAD was between $0.89 and $1.22 per share, which enabled it to pay a quarterly dividend of $0.88 per share.

Annaly has a legal requirement to pay out nearly all of its taxable net income in dividends, which is why it has such a high yield. However, that payout will fluctuate with its earnings, which is something investors need to consider before buying shares for income.

Societe Generale share price is soaring: will this trend continue in 2026? stocknewsapi
GLE
Societe Generale share price has done well in the past few months and is slowly nearing its highest point on record. It jumped to a high of €67.85, its highest point since May 2007. It has soared by 680% from its lowest point in 2021, bringing its market capitalization to over €51 billion. 

Copy link to section

The Societe Generale stock price has been in a strong uptrend in the past few months, mirroring the performance of other European banks like Unicredit, Lloyds, and Barclays.

The stock did well as the company’s revenue and profitability growth gained steam, even as the European Central Bank (ECB) delivered its interest rate cuts during the two years.

For example, the most recent results showed that the company’s revenue jumped by 5.7% in the first nine months of the year to €20.5 billion.

The revenue increase coincided with its cost reduction process. Its costs dropped by 2.2%, much higher than what it had predicted. This decline was because of its asset disposals and layoffs.

Societe Generale’s net income stood at €4.6 billion in the first nine months of the year, up by 45% from the same period last year. All these numbers were much better than its guidance.

At the same time, the company continued returning cash to investors in the form of dividends and share buybacks. The company recently completed its €1 billion share buyback program and announced a new €872 million dividend.

Meanwhile, the stock has benefited from its simplification process as it exited key markets like Guinea and Mauritania. It also exited its private banking businesses in Switzerland and the UK. 

The company, like other major players in the markets, benefited from the trading boom because of Donald Trump’s volatility. Its Global Banking and Investor Solutions business made €2.5 billion in the third quarter, up by 1.6% from the same period last year. 

Societe Generale’s balance sheet also continued to improve, with its CET1 ratio rising to 13.7% from 13.3% in the same period last year.

Still, the main risk for the stock is whether it can replicate its performance in the coming year now that interest rates are coming down. The ECB has slashed interest rates to 2%, and some analysts predict that they may continue falling in 2026. 

Societe Generale stock price technical analysis 
Copy link to section

Société Générale stock price chart | Source: TradingView The weekly timeframe chart shows that the Societe Generale share price has been in a strong uptrend in the past few years as its revenue has jumped and its costs have dropped.

However, technical analysis suggests that the rally has become highly overbought and is at risk of a decline in the coming year.

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) has jumped to 76, up from last year’s low of 38. Similarly, the Stochastic Oscillator has continued rising and is now at the highest point in over a year.

Most importantly, the stock remains above the 50-week and 100-week Exponential Moving Averages, which are at €49 and €40.60. As such, there is a likelihood that the stock may go through a mean reversion.

Mean reversion is a situation where an asset moves back to its historical averages. As such, the stock may drop to the key psychological level at €50 and then resume the uptrend.

S&P 500 Gains For Third Day: Investor Sentiment Improves, Fear Index Moves To 'Greed' Zone stocknewsapi
IVV SPLG SPXL SPY SSO UPRO VOO
The CNN Money Fear and Greed index showed further improvement in the overall market sentiment, while the index moved to the “Greed” zone on Monday.

U.S. stocks settled higher on Monday, with the Dow Jones index gaining more than 200 points during the session. The S&P 500 also recorded gains for the third straight session.

The New York Stock Exchange will close at 1 p.m. ET on Wednesday and will be closed on Thursday for Christmas Day.

UniFirst Corp. (NYSE:UNF) received an acquisition proposal from Cintas Corp. (NASDAQ:CTAS) for $275 per share in cash.

On the economic data front, the Chicago Fed National Activity Index increased to -0.21 in September from a reading of -0.31 in August.

Most sectors on the S&P 500 closed on a positive note, with materials, industrials and financials stocks recording the biggest gains on Monday. However, consumer staples stocks bucked the overall market trend, closing the session lower.

The Dow Jones closed higher by around 228 points to 48,362.68 on Monday. The S&P 500 rose 0.64% to 6,878.49, while the Nasdaq Composite jumped 0.52% to 23,428.83 during Monday's session.

The Fear & Greed Index is a measure of the current market sentiment. It is based on the premise that higher fear exerts pressure on stock prices, while higher greed has the opposite effect. The index is calculated based on seven equal-weighted indicators. The index ranges from 0 to 100, where 0 represents maximum fear and 100 signals maximum greediness.

My Top 3 Quantum Computing Stocks to Buy in December stocknewsapi
AMZN GOOG GOOGL MSFT
These three quantum computing stocks share much in common.

"Plastics."

That's the one-word advice that Mr. McGuire (played by Walter Brooke) gave to Dustin Hoffman's character, Benjamin Braddock, in the classic 1967 movie The Graduate. If the movie were remade today, though, McGuire might have to use two words in his investing recommendation to young Braddock – quantum computing.

Quantum computing is poised to profoundly reshape the technological landscape over the next few years. Importantly, it presents tremendous opportunities for investors today. I think that some opportunities stand out above others, though. Here are my top three quantum computing stocks to buy in December.

Image source: Getty Images.

1. Alphabet
Alphabet (GOOG +0.88%) (GOOGL +0.85%) is best known as the parent company of Google. And Google, of course, is best known for its ubiquitous search engine. However, Google is also working to advance quantum computing.

Google Quantum AI officially began operating in 2012. Its mission, then and now, is to 'build quantum computing for otherwise unsolvable problems."

To achieve this lofty goal, Google Quantum AI covers nearly every aspect of superconducting quantum computing. Its staff work on both hardware (including quantum processors and cooling systems called cryostats) and software (including operating systems and user applications).

Thus far, Google Quantum AI has completed two of the six milestones on its roadmap to build a practical, large-scale quantum computer. In 2019, Google Quantum AI announced that its technology achieved quantum supremacy (a term used to describe where a quantum computer solves a problem that would take classical supercomputers a significantly long time to handle). In 2023, its team unveiled the first logical qubit prototype that demonstrated quantum error correction.

2. Amazon
You may have also heard about my second quantum computing stock. Amazon (AMZN +0.47%) reigns as the 800-pound gorilla in e-commerce and cloud services. The company is also an important player in quantum computing.

In one sense, Amazon is a "picks-and-shovels" play in quantum computing. Amazon Braket is a quantum cloud computing service that's available on Amazon Web Services (AWS). It supports researchers in developing quantum computing algorithms, testing quantum hardware, and creating quantum software.

However, Amazon isn't just operating on the sidelines in the quantum computing arena. The company is also busy developing its own quantum technology. In February 2025, Amazon announced a new quantum computing chip called Ocelet.

Ocelet could be a key breakthrough in the goal to build large-scale quantum computers. The chip can reduce the costs of quantum error correction by up to 90% versus current approaches. It uses "cat-qubits" (named after physicist Erwin Schrödinger's famous quantum thought experiment, which featured a cat) that can suppress some types of quantum computing errors.

3. Microsoft
My third pick is also a household name. Microsoft (MSFT 0.21%) is a technology giant with products including the Windows operating system, Microsoft Office 365 productivity software, and Xbox gaming systems. Like Alphabet and Amazon, Microsoft is also investing heavily in quantum computing.

Microsoft's Azure cloud platform offers a "Quantum Ready" program. This program helps leaders develop strategies to mitigate the potential negative impact of quantum computing on their organizations while leveraging the opportunities that quantum computing presents.

Arguably, the most crucial quantum computing initiative for Microsoft is its topological core architecture. This architecture utilizes topological superconductors, also known as topoconductors, which are a special type of matter that falls neither into the solid, liquid, nor gas states.

Earlier this year, Microsoft announced the first quantum computing chip that uses topoconductors – Majorana 1. Microsoft believes the technology used in Majorana 1 presents a key step toward fitting 1 million or more qubits on a single chip.

Common denominators
You may have noticed several commonalities among my top three quantum computing stocks to buy in December. They're all so-called "Magnificent Seven" stocks. They all operate widely used cloud platforms. All three companies are leaders in the field of artificial intelligence (AI).

Also, none of them are pure-play quantum computing companies. I think that's critical. No one knows for sure which quantum technologies will emerge as the biggest winners. Investing in a single pure-play quantum computing stock could be a highly risky proposition.

Alphabet, Amazon, and Microsoft have ample financial flexibility to acquire smaller rivals that show exceptional promise. If you want to profit from quantum computing but not take on a significant amount of risk, these megacap stocks are the way to go, in my opinion.

Shares in Wegovy-maker Novo Nordisk pop 6% after GLP-1 pill approval stocknewsapi
NVO
Shares in Novo Nordisk surged 6% Tuesday, after the Wegovy maker secured approval of its GLP-1 pill — a world first.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration's approval of Novo Nordisk's GLP-1 pill gives the Danish pharmaceutical giant a head start over U.S. rival Eli Lilly.

The pill's starting dose of 1.5 milligrams will be available in pharmacies and via select telehealth providers with savings offers for $149 per month in early January, the firm said.

Cash-paying patients can access it for the same price via President Donald Trump's direct-to-consumer website, TrumpRx, according to the deal Novo Nordisk struck with his administration last month. Drug pricing has been top of mind this year as the U.S. looks to reduce the costs paid by consumers.

The approval caps a turbulent year for Novo, which has been marked by board drama, supply chain shortages, a bidding war against Pfizer, and criticisms over the execution of its U.S. strategy.

Matters discussed in this release may constitute forward-looking statements. The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides safe harbor protections for forward-looking statements in order to encourage companies to provide prospective information about their business. Forward-looking statements reflect our current views with respect to future events and financial performance and may include statements concerning plans, objectives, goals, strategies, future events or performance, and underlying assumptions and other statements, which are statements other than statements of historical facts. The Company desires to take advantage of the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and is including this cautionary statement in connection with this safe harbor legislation. Words such as, but not limited to, "expects," "anticipates," "intends," "plans," "believes," "estimates," "targets," "projects," "forecasts," "potential," "continue," "possible," "likely," "may," "could," "should" and similar expressions or phrases may identify forward-looking statements.

The forward-looking statements in this release are based upon various assumptions, many of which are, in turn, based upon further assumptions, including without limitation, management's examination of historical operating trends, data contained in our records and other data available from third parties. Although the Company believes that these assumptions were reasonable when made, because these assumptions are inherently subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies that are difficult or impossible to predict and are beyond our control, the Company cannot guarantee that it will achieve or accomplish these expectations, beliefs, or projections.

Important factors that, in our view, could cause actual results to differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, our future operating or financial results; changes in governmental rules and regulations or actions taken by regulatory authorities; inflationary pressure and central bank policies intended to combat overall inflation and rising interest rates and foreign exchange rates; general domestic and international political conditions or events, including "trade wars" and the war between Russia and Ukraine, the developments in the Middle East, including the war in Israel and the Gaza Strip, and the conflict regarding the Houthis' attacks in the Red Sea; international sanctions against Russian oil and oil products; changes in economic and competitive conditions affecting our business, including market fluctuations in charter rates and charterers' abilities to perform under existing time charters; changes in the supply and demand for vessels comparable to ours and the number of new buildings under construction; the highly cyclical nature of the industry that we operate in; the loss of a large customer or significant business relationship; changes in worldwide oil production and consumption and storage; risks associated with any future vessel construction; our expectations regarding the availability of vessel acquisitions and our ability to complete acquisition transactions planned; availability of skilled crew members other employees and the related labor costs; work stoppages or other labor disruptions by our employees or the employees of other companies in related industries;  effects of new products and new technology in our industry;  new environmental regulations and restrictions; the impact of an interruption in or failure of our information technology and communications systems, including the impact of cyber-attacks, upon our ability to operate; potential conflicts of interest involving members of our Board of Directors and Senior Management; the failure of counterparties to fully perform their contracts with us; changes in credit risk with respect to our counterparties on contracts; adequacy of insurance coverage; our ability to obtain indemnities from customers; changes in laws, treaties or regulations; our incorporation under the laws of England and Wales and the different rights to relief that may be available compared to other countries, including the United States; government requisition of our vessels during a period of war or emergency; the arrest of our vessels by maritime claimants; any further changes in U.S. trade policy that could trigger retaliatory actions by the affected countries; the impact of the U.S. presidential and congressional election results affecting the economy, future government laws and regulations and trade policy matters, such as the imposition of tariffs and other import restrictions; potential disruption of shipping routes due to accidents, climate-related incidents, adverse weather and natural disasters, environmental factors, political events, public health threats, acts by terrorists or acts of piracy on ocean-going vessels; damage to storage and receiving facilities; potential liability from future litigation and potential costs due to environmental damage and vessel collisions; and the length and number of off-hire periods and dependence on third-party managers.

In the light of these risks and uncertainties, undue reliance should not be placed on forward-looking statements contained in this release because they are statements about events that are not certain to occur as described or at all. These forward-looking statements are not guarantees of our future performance, and actual results and future developments may vary materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements.

Except to the extent required by applicable law or regulation, the Company undertakes no obligation to release publicly any revisions or updates to these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this release or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. Please see TORM's filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for a more complete discussion of certain of these and other risks and uncertainties.

If You'd Invested $10,000 in Nvidia 10 Years Ago, Here's How Much You'd Have Today stocknewsapi
NVDA
Taking a buy-and-hold approach to the chipmaker's stock could have made you a multimillionaire.

In December 2015, a loose group of researchers, engineers, and tech company leaders that included Sam Altman and Elon Musk came together in a San Francisco living room to articulate a vision for artificial intelligence (AI) that might actually benefit humanity one day.

A decade later, the fruits of that meeting are starting to surface in the real world.

One of the companies that has profited the most from that vision is "Magnificent Seven" powerhouse Nvidia (NVDA +1.49%). In the last decade, the hardware giant has evolved from a company best known for gaming GPUs into a trillion-dollar club member that's leading the AI infrastructure buildout.

Considering that 10 years ago, Nvidia had a roughly $17 billion market cap, you'd probably expect a $10,000 investment made in it then to be worth a small fortune today.

But just how much it would be worth might make you do a double-take.

Image source: Nvidia.

A gain of over 22,000%
If you had invested $10,000 in Nvidia 10 years ago and held on through all the flat, rocky, and exhilarating years that followed, your current investment would be worth well over $2.2 million.

To put that into perspective, if you had invested the same amount in any of the other six Magnificent Seven stocks -- Apple, Amazon, Alphabet, Meta Platforms, Microsoft, and Tesla -- your returns would have been impressive, but nowhere close to what the chipmaker delivered.

Nvidia has earned its crown. For investors who believe AI spending will continue to climb, the stock remains a top pick to consider buying.

Steven Porrello has positions in Nvidia. The Motley Fool has positions in and recommends Alphabet, Amazon, Apple, Meta Platforms, Microsoft, Nvidia, and Tesla.

Got $100,000? Buy This Unstoppable Growth Stock Before Its Market Cap Hits $3 Trillion. stocknewsapi
AMZN
Amazon shareholders will enjoy exposure to some powerful secular trends shaping our economy.

Businesses that can increase their revenues and earnings at high rates over long stretches of time make for wonderful investments. You might think that these opportunities only come from smaller and earlier-stage companies. That's not true: At least one magnificent tech enterprise looks like it fits that description.

If you're ready to invest $100,000, it could be a good idea to buy this unstoppable growth stock now, before its market cap hits $3 trillion.

Image source: Amazon.

Sustainable growth supported by multiple tailwinds
Investors should pay close attention to Amazon (AMZN +0.47%). Its cloud platform, Amazon Web Services, continues to be a critical growth engine, benefiting from customers' robust interest in its artificial intelligence tools and features. Management has said it expects its capital expenditures to total $125 billion this year as it rushes to build out its data center capacity so that it can capture more of the available demand.

Online shopping is another secular trend pushing its business forward. Other retailers simply can't compete with the massive product selection Amazon offers or the finely tuned logistics network it has built. The fast and free shipping it offers supports an exceptional user experience that drives new sign-ups for Prime memberships and keeps established members resubscribing, gradually expanding the Amazon ecosystem.

The digital advertising industry has long been dominated by Alphabet and Meta Platforms. However, Amazon is rapidly rising up the ranks, having collected $65 billion in digital ad revenues in the past 12 months. Amazon is clearly providing value to marketers, giving it another tailwind as the overall digital ad market keeps expanding.

A $3 trillion market cap could happen sooner than you think
Amazon's current market cap is about $2.4 trillion. To get to the $3 trillion mark -- a milestone only four companies have reached -- that figure would need to rise by 25%. It's entirely possible that Amazon will achieve this over the next 12 months, if history is any indication.

In the past 20 years, the stock has rocketed 9,140% higher (as of Dec. 19), making it one of the best investments of recent decades. However, it's only up 4% this year, and its current enterprise-value-to-earnings-before-interest-and-taxes ratio of 31 is near a 10-year low. Therefore, investors could benefit from valuation expansion.

Analysts' consensus estimates are for operating income to increase 26% between 2025 and 2026. With strong financial results like this possibly on tap, the market should start to appreciate this business more. That would create a favorable backdrop that could push the stock price higher in short order.

Amaroq Ltd.

Reykjavík, Dec. 23, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --

Amaroq Ltd.
(“Amaroq” or the “Company”)

Closing of Strategic Acquisitions, Total Voting Rights, and Notification of Transactions of Persons Discharging Managerial Responsibilities (PDMR)

TORONTO, ONTARIO – 23 December 2025 – Amaroq Ltd. (AIM, TSX-V, NASDAQ Iceland: AMRQ, OTCQX: AMRQF), an independent mine development corporation focused on unlocking Greenland’s mineral potential, is pleased to announce the closing of the previously announced acquisitions of the entire issued share capital of Black Angel Mining A/S (“Black Angel”) from FBC Mining (BA) Limited (“FBC Mining”) and of the Kangerluarsuk licences from 80 Mile plc, (the “Acquisitions”) together creating the West Greenland Hub.

As consideration for the Acquisitions, the Company issued 7,654,222 common shares of the Company to FBC Mining (the “Black Angel Closing Shares”), and 392,939 common shares of the Company to 80 Mile plc (the “Kangerluarsuk Closing Shares”) (together the “Closing Shares”).

As previously announced, the acquisition of Black Angel represented a related party transaction for the purposes of AIM Rule 13 of the AIM Rules for Companies and Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"), and is also considered a transaction with a Non-Arm’s Length Party within the meaning of the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSX-V"), by virtue of the fact that the ultimate parent company of Black Angel, BAMAS ehf. (“BAMAS”), is controlled by certain directors of Amaroq.

Pursuant to MI 61-101, related party transactions require a formal valuation and minority shareholder approval unless exemptions from these requirements are available. With respect to the Black Angel acquisition, the Company is relying on the exemption from the formal valuation requirements and minority approval requirements in sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a), respectively, of MI 61-101, as neither the fair market value of the subject matter of, nor the fair market value of the consideration for, the transaction, insofar as it involves interested parties, exceeds 25% of the Company’s market capitalisation.

Following the issuance of the Closing Shares, the beneficial ownership in Amaroq shares of the directors who also hold an interest in FBC Mining will be as follows:

DirectorShares held (directly & indirectly)% of ISCEldur Olafsson16,031,6913.46Sigurbjorn Thorkelsson13,616,1392.94Graham Stewart2,982,5370.64 Application has been made for the admission (“Admission”) of the Black Angel Closing Shares and the Kangerluarsuk Closing Shares to trading on (a) AIM; and (b) Icelandic Exchange. Admission is expected to take place on AIM at 8.00 a.m. GMT on 30 December 2025, on the Icelandic Exchange at 9.30 a.m. UTC on 30 December 2025. The listing of the Black Angel Closing Shares and the Kangerluarsuk Closing Shares on the TSX-V remains subject to the final approval of the TSX-V.

The Black Angel Closing Shares and the Kangerluarsuk Closing Shares were issued to persons outside of Canada pursuant to an exemption from the prospectus requirements in Canada available under OSC Rule 72-503 – Distributions Outside Canada and, accordingly, the Black Angel Closing Shares and the Kangerluarsuk Closing Shares are not subject to a four-month hold period in Canada.

The Company also confirms that an additional 562,449 common shares of the Company were issued under the Company’s share-based incentive plans. None of the shares issued under these plans were allocated to PDMRs.

Following the issue of common shares under the Company’s share-based incentive plans and the Closing Shares, the Company’s issued share capital will consist of 463,648,822 common shares of no par value, each carrying one voting right.

Given that the Company does not hold any common shares in treasury, this figure may be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine whether they are required to notify their interest in, or a change in interest in, the share capital of the Company.

Singapore inflation remains steady at 1.2% in November, missing estimates stocknewsapi
EWS
Singapore's inflation in November remained steady at 1.2%, missing estimates, as a higher increase in prices of services was offset by a steeper decline in electricity costs.

The reading was lower than Reuters-polled analysts' median estimates of 1.3%.

Core inflation in the city-state, which strips out prices of private transport and accommodation, also came in at 1.2%, compared to expectations of 1.3%.

Higher services inflation at 1.9% was due to larger increases in the costs of point-to-point transport, which includes taxis, ride-hailing and car-pooling services, and health insurance.

In contrast, inflation for retail and other goods slowed as the prices of clothing and footwear, as well as personal-care appliances declined, in addition to the fall in electricity costs.

Core inflation is forecast to be around 0.5% in 2025, before rising to 0.5%–1.5% in 2026. Headline inflation is expected to average 0.5%–1.0% in 2025 and 0.5%-1.5% in 2026, MAS said in a statement.

"Supply shocks, including those stemming from geopolitical developments, could lift some imported costs abruptly. However, a sharper-than-expected weakening in global demand could keep core inflation lower for longer," the statement said.

The inflation reading comes after better-than-expected economic data from Singapore, with non-oil exports surging 11.6% year on year in November, beating estimates of a 7% rise.

Singapore's economy grew at 4.2% in the third quarter, also beating expectations of 4% expansion.

Last month, the Singapore's ministry of trade and industry upgraded the country's annual GDP forecast to "around 4%," and about 1%-3% for 2026, a sharp revision from April's forecast, when it had warned that zero growth was also a possibility. The ministry said that the global environment had proved more resilient than anticipated, with manufacturing and export demand remaining strong in the third quarter.

MAS has held its monetary policy steady for the last two meetings, after easing it in January and April meetings amid the threat of tariffs over the global economy.

Dupixent® (dupilumab) Approved in Japan for Children Aged 6 to 11 Years with Bronchial Asthma stocknewsapi
REGN
Approval based on global Phase 3 program in children demonstrating Dupixent significantly reduced exacerbations (by 54% to 65%) and improved lung function (by 4.68% to 5.32%) compared to placebo

Dupixent is the first and only biologic medicine to demonstrate improved lung function in this young patient group in a randomized Phase 3 trial, and inhibits IL-4 and IL-13, two key and central drivers of type 2 inflammation

TARRYTOWN, N.Y. and PARIS, Dec. 23, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: REGN) and Sanofi today announced that the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare (MHLW) in Japan has granted marketing and manufacturing authorization for Dupixent® (dupilumab) for the treatment of bronchial asthma in children aged 6 to 11 years with severe or refractory disease whose symptoms are inadequately controlled with existing therapy. This expands the previous approval in Japan in this indication for patients aged 12 years and older.

The approval in Japan is based on data from the overall population and those with a type 2 inflammation phenotype (defined by raised blood eosinophils and/or fractional exhaled nitric oxide) in VOYAGE, a global Phase 3 trial evaluating Dupixent in children aged 6 to 11 years with uncontrolled moderate-to-severe asthma. Additionally, data from EXCURSION, an open-label extension of VOYAGE that included a sub-study of exclusively Japanese pediatric patients supported the approval. In the VOYAGE trial, Dupixent added to standard-of-care asthma therapy significantly reduced severe exacerbations (by 54% to 65%, p<0.0001) and improved lung function (by 4.68% to 5.32%, p=0.0012, p=0.0009 and p=0.0036, respectively) in the overall population, those with type 2 inflammation, and those with raised blood eosinophils, compared to placebo. In the sub-study of Japanese pediatric patients, Dupixent improved lung function from baseline at 12 weeks and resulted in a low rate of severe asthma exacerbations over one year. The treatment-related adverse events most commonly reported with Dupixent were injection site reactions (erythema, edema and induration) in VOYAGE and fever, oral herpes, eosinophilia and injection site reactions (erythema and induration) in EXCURSION.

Asthma is one of the most common chronic diseases in children. Despite treatment with current standard-of-care inhaled corticosteroids and bronchodilators, children may continue to experience serious symptoms, such as coughing, wheezing and difficulty breathing. Additionally, impaired lung function in young children can have potentially long-lasting impacts, such as reduced lung growth and persistent airway obstruction, if not addressed early. Patients also may require the use of multiple courses of systemic corticosteroids that carry significant risks. Uncontrolled asthma can interfere with day-to-day activities, like sleeping, attending school and playing sports.

In addition to asthma, Dupixent is approved in Japan in certain patients with atopic dermatitis, chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyposis (CRSwNP), prurigo nodularis, chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Dupixent has been approved in 50 countries around the world for the treatment of asthma in children aged 6 to 11 years.

About Dupixent
Dupixent is available in Japan as a 200 mg or 300 mg pre-filled syringe or pre-filled pen and is now available for children aged 6 to 11 years with asthma. Dupixent is intended for injection under the skin (subcutaneous injection) and is given every two or four weeks based on weight. It can be given in a clinic or at home by self-administration after training by a healthcare professional. In children younger than 12 years of age, Dupixent should be administered by a caregiver if given at home.

Dupixent, which was invented using Regeneron’s proprietary VelocImmune® technology, is a fully human monoclonal antibody that inhibits the signaling of the interleukin-4 (IL-4) and interleukin-13 (IL-13) pathways and is not an immunosuppressant. The Dupixent development program has shown significant clinical benefit and a decrease in type 2 inflammation in Phase 3 trials, establishing that IL-4 and IL-13 are two of the key and central drivers of the type 2 inflammation that plays a major role in multiple related and often co-morbid diseases.

Dupixent has received regulatory approvals in more than 60 countries in one or more indications including certain patients with atopic dermatitis, asthma, CRSwNP, eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE), prurigo nodularis, CSU, COPD and bullous pemphigoid (BP) in different age populations. More than 1,300,000 patients are being treated with Dupixent globally.1

About Regeneron’s VelocImmune Technology 
Regeneron's VelocImmune technology utilizes a proprietary genetically engineered mouse platform endowed with a genetically humanized immune system to produce optimized fully human antibodies. When Regeneron's co-Founder, President and Chief Scientific Officer George D. Yancopoulos was a graduate student with his mentor Frederick W. Alt in 1985, they were the first to envision making such a genetically humanized mouse, and Regeneron has spent decades inventing and developing VelocImmune and related VelociSuite® technologies. Dr. Yancopoulos and his team have used VelocImmune technology to create a substantial proportion of all original, FDA-approved fully human monoclonal antibodies. This includes Dupixent® (dupilumab), Libtayo® (cemiplimab-rwlc), Praluent® (alirocumab), Kevzara® (sarilumab), Evkeeza® (evinacumab-dgnb), Inmazeb® (atoltivimab, maftivimab and odesivimab-ebgn) and Veopoz® (pozelimab-bbfg). In addition, REGEN-COV® (casirivimab and imdevimab) had been authorized by the FDA during the COVID-19 pandemic until 2024.

Dupilumab Development Program 
Dupilumab is being jointly developed by Regeneron and Sanofi under a global collaboration agreement. To date, dupilumab has been studied across more than 60 clinical trials involving more than 10,000 patients with various chronic diseases driven in part by type 2 inflammation. 

In addition to the currently approved indications, Regeneron and Sanofi are studying dupilumab in a broad range of diseases driven by type 2 inflammation or other allergic processes in Phase 3 trials, including chronic pruritus of unknown origin, lichen simplex chronicus and allergic fungal rhinosinusitis. These potential uses of dupilumab are currently under clinical investigation, and the safety and efficacy in these conditions have not been fully evaluated by any regulatory authority. 

U.S. INDICATIONS 
DUPIXENT is a prescription medicine used:

Sanofi and Regeneron’s Dupixent approved in Japan for children aged 6 to 11 years with bronchial asthma

Approval based on global phase 3 program in children demonstrating Dupixent significantly reduced exacerbations (by 54% to 65%) and improved lung function compared to placebo (by 4.68% to 5.32%)    Dupixent is the first and only biologic medicine to demonstrate improved lung function in this young patient group in a randomized phase 3 study, and inhibits IL-4 and IL-13, two key and central drivers of type 2 inflammation Paris and Tarrytown, NY, December 23, 2025. The Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare in Japan has granted marketing and manufacturing authorization for Dupixent (dupilumab) for the treatment of bronchial asthma in children aged 6 to 11 years with severe or refractory disease whose symptoms are inadequately controlled with existing therapy. This expands the previous approval in Japan in this indication for patients aged 12 years and older.

The approval in Japan is based on data from the overall population and those with a type 2 inflammation phenotype (defined by raised blood eosinophils and/or fractional exhaled nitric oxide) in VOYAGE (NCT02948959), a global phase 3 study evaluating Dupixent in children aged 6 to 11 years with uncontrolled moderate-to-severe asthma. Additionally, data from EXCURSION (NCT03560466), an open-label extension of VOYAGE that included a sub-study of exclusively Japanese pediatric patients supported the approval. In the VOYAGE study, Dupixent added to standard-of-care asthma therapy significantly reduced severe exacerbations (by 54% to 65%, p<0.0001) and improved lung function (by 4.68% to 5.32%, p=0.0012, p=0.0009 and p=0.0036, respectively) in the overall population, those with type 2 inflammation , and those with raised blood eosinophils, compared to placebo. In the sub-study of Japanese pediatric patients, Dupixent improved lung function from baseline at 12 weeks and resulted in a low rate of severe asthma exacerbations over one year. The treatment-related adverse events most commonly reported with Dupixent were injection site reactions (erythema, edema, and induration) in VOYAGE and fever, oral herpes, eosinophilia, and injection site reactions (erythema and induration) in EXCURSION.

Asthma is one of the most common chronic diseases in children. Despite treatment with current standard-of-care inhaled corticosteroids and bronchodilators, children may continue to experience serious symptoms such as coughing, wheezing, and difficulty breathing. Additionally, impaired lung function in young children can have potentially long-lasting impacts such as reduced lung growth and persistent airway obstruction, if not addressed early. Patients also may require the use of multiple courses of systemic corticosteroids that carry significant risks. Uncontrolled asthma can interfere with day-to-day activities, like sleeping, attending school, and playing sports.

In addition to asthma, Dupixent is approved in Japan in certain patients with atopic dermatitis, chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyposis (CRSwNP), prurigo nodularis, chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU), and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Dupixent has been approved in 50 countries around the world for the treatment of asthma in children aged 6 to 11 years.

Dupilumab development program
Dupilumab is being jointly developed by Sanofi and Regeneron under a global collaboration agreement. To date, dupilumab has been studied across more than 60 clinical studies involving more than 10,000 patients with various chronic diseases driven in part by type 2 inflammation.

In addition to the currently approved indications, Sanofi and Regeneron are studying dupilumab in a broad range of diseases driven by type 2 inflammation or other allergic processes in phase 3 studies, including chronic pruritus of unknown origin, lichen simplex chronicus, and allergic fungal rhinosinusitis. These potential uses of dupilumab are currently under clinical investigation, and the safety and efficacy in these conditions have not been fully evaluated by any regulatory authority.

Stanley Black & Decker: Good Opportunity To Buy A Quality Income Asset On The Cheap stocknewsapi

SummaryStanley Black & Decker is on course to witness a second calendar year of negative returns, while also underperforming its industrial and broader peers from the S&P 500.SWK is not yet flourishing, as conditions in its key end markets look mixed, particularly the residential construction markets.Yet, SWK's margin expansion is on track, with gross margins expected to reach 35% by end of next year, aided by greater pricing, cost reductions, and supply chain localization.Free cash flow is projected to cover dividends by 120% in 2025, supporting deleveraging and dividend sustainability, with further inventory improvements expected in FY26.SWK trades at a forward FCF yield of 5.3%, 11x FY27 P/E, with a PEG of 0.5x, and looks like a good mean-reversion bet within the industrials landscape. monticelllo/iStock via Getty Images

Gold (XAUUSD) & Silver Price Forecast:: Institutional Demand Keeps Trend Constructive stocknewsapi
AAAU DGL DGP GLD GLDM IAU IAUF OUNZ UGL
According to the World Gold Council, central banks purchased more than 1,000 tonnes of gold for the second consecutive year in 2024, underlining institutional demand driven by diversification and geopolitical risk management. Silver, often more sensitive to industrial cycles, has benefited indirectly as investors rotate into hard assets amid uncertainty.

Monetary Policy Outlook Adds Support
Expectations of easier monetary conditions have provided an additional tailwind. Futures markets are pricing in multiple interest-rate cuts over the next year as inflation shows signs of cooling and labor-market momentum softens.

Lower rates typically reduce the opportunity cost of holding non-yielding assets such as gold, while also weakening real yields, a key driver for precious metals.

Federal Reserve officials have signaled a cautious approach, balancing inflation progress against slowing growth. Recent commentary suggests policy decisions will remain data-dependent, keeping investors focused on upcoming macro releases.

Data Watch Shapes Near-Term Sentiment
Attention is now turning to US growth and manufacturing indicators, including GDP revisions, durable goods orders, and employment data. Economists expect growth to moderate from earlier quarters, while manufacturing activity remains uneven.

Softer-than-expected data could reinforce demand for gold and silver as defensive assets, while stronger readings may briefly favor the dollar. For now, precious metals continue to reflect a market positioning for resilience rather than risk.

Gold – Chart
Gold is trading near $4,480 on the 4H chart after a sharp upside extension from the $4,185 base. Price remains inside a rising channel and recently tested the 0.236 Fibonacci level near $4,460, where selling pressure briefly emerged. Recent candles show long upper wicks near $4,507, signaling hesitation after the strong run.

The 50-EMA is rising steadily around $4,320, reinforcing trend support, while the 200-EMA below $4,200 confirms the broader bullish structure. RSI has pushed above 70, indicating strong momentum but also short-term exhaustion risk.

Immediate support sits near $4,430, aligned with the 0.382 retracement, while resistance remains at $4,520–$4,550. The trade idea is to buy pullbacks near $4,430, target $4,520, stop below $4,385.

1 Stock I'd Buy Before Tesla in 2026 stocknewsapi
NVDA
Investors have high hopes that Tesla will monetize its robotaxi and robotics initiatives.

Tesla (TSLA +1.57%) stock has been on a tear -- hitting an all-time high on Dec. 15. Tesla is now within striking distance of surpassing Meta Platforms and Broadcom (AVGO +0.51%) in market capitalization to become the sixth-most-valuable U.S. company, behind only Nvidia (NVDA +1.51%), Apple, Alphabet (GOOG +0.88%) (GOOGL +0.85%), Microsoft, and Amazon.

Tesla is surging due to investor excitement over the company's robotics and artificial intelligence (AI) investments -- particularly its autonomous driving technology through its expanding robotaxi project. Investors are betting that Tesla's future will depend less on selling electric vehicles (EVs) to households and more on self-driving cars, Optimus robots, etc.

But to fund these efforts, Tesla relies on cash flows from its automotive and energy generation and storage segments. Tesla's profitability has taken a massive hit, as growth is slowing and its costs are rising. Its operating margins in the third quarter of 2025 were just 5.8% compared to 10.8% in the same quarter of 2024.

Tesla is being valued for what it could earn in the future rather than what it is earning today. Even if Tesla delivers exceptional results, it could still be a poorly performing stock over the next three to five years because so much optimism is already being factored into the valuation. A much better opportunity for 2026 and beyond is a company with plenty of growth potential but a much more realistic valuation -- Nvidia.

Image source: Tesla.

Nvidia's cash flows fuel its innovation
Unlike Tesla, Nvidia is already capitalizing on a massive opportunity in AI by selling graphics processing units (GPUs) and associated software and hardware to data centers -- a significant change from Nvidia's previous key end markets in gaming, professional visualization, and automotive.

Nvidia has been in the spotlight lately due to mounting competition from Advanced Micro Devices and Broadcom. Broadcom works with hyperscalers like Alphabet to develop custom AI chips. Broadcom and Alphabet have been collaborating for several years, but the relationship has entered a new gear as Alphabet uses these custom chips to train AI models. Alphabet is considering selling its custom chips, called tensor processing units, to other hyperscalers like Meta Platforms. If Alphabet can rival Nvidia with a customer-built full-stack solution that doesn't depend on its GPUs, it could erode Nvidia's margins. That threat has been reflected in the stock prices of both companies -- Nvidia is up just a couple of percentage points over the last three months, compared to a 21% gain for Alphabet.

Nvidia's margins could fall, and it could still become the most profitable company (in addition to being the most valuable) in the world in the coming years. Nvidia has an exceptional balance sheet and generates tons of free cash flow that it can use to invest in long-term projects and ramp up research and development (R&D) spending.

Nvidia's cash-supported R&D gives it a rapidly evolving product pipeline. It could have easily rested on its laurels after developing its Blackwell architecture. Instead, Nvidia plans to release its new class of GPUs, called Rubin, which are specifically engineered for AI systems. Rubin will use Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing's highly advanced 3-nanometer process, which packs more transistors into each microchip to increase performance.

Nvidia's valuation is reasonable, while Tesla's is built on speculation
With Tesla's EV business under pressure, the company needs to begin generating positive cash flow from its other efforts to support long-term growth projects. Nvidia, on the other hand, is already a high-margin cash cow that is well-positioned to address mounting competition.

Additionally, Nvidia trades at a much more reasonable 37.2 times forward earnings. Tesla's is a mind-numbing 292.9.

Nvidia and Tesla have both delivered impeccable returns for long-term investors. But for 2026, Nvidia has a far better profile of risk to potential reward than Tesla, which has a mountain to climb just to meet investor expectations and could get punished for even minor missteps.

Daniel Foelber has positions in Nvidia. The Motley Fool has positions in and recommends Advanced Micro Devices, Alphabet, Amazon, Apple, Meta Platforms, Microsoft, Nvidia, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing, and Tesla. The Motley Fool recommends Broadcom and recommends the following options: long January 2026 $395 calls on Microsoft and short January 2026 $405 calls on Microsoft.

VXUS vs. IXUS: Two Paths to Global Market Coverage stocknewsapi
IXUS VXUS
This comparison breaks down how VXUS and IXUS differ on cost, income, and market coverage despite targeting the same international equity universe

iShares Core MSCI Total International Stock ETF (IXUS) and Vanguard Total International Stock ETF (VXUS) both deliver broad international equity exposure, but differ on cost, yield, and recent performance.

IXUS and VXUS are popular picks for investors seeking one-stop access to developed and emerging markets outside the U.S. Both track large, diversified indexes, but subtle differences in fees, yield, and portfolio construction matter for cost-conscious and income-focused investors.

Performance & risk comparisonMetricIXUSVXUSMax drawdown (5 y)(30.05%)(29.44%)Growth of $1,000 over 5 years$1,242$1,247What's insideVXUS holds 8,602 stocks spanning developed and emerging markets, with nearly 15 years of history. Its sector mix is led by financial services (23%), industrials (16%), and technology (14%). The top three holdings—Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing (TAI:2330.TW), Tencent Holdings (HKSE:0700.HK), and ASML Holding (AMS:ASML.AS)—are each under 3% of assets, reflecting its broad diversification.

IXUS follows a similar sector allocation with financials, industrials, and technology comprising the largest weights. Its 4,175 holdings also prioritize breadth, and it shares the same top three companies in its portfolio. Both funds lack unique quirks or overlays, so the choice comes down to cost, yield, and subtle differences in index construction.

What this means for investorsInternational exposure is easy to access, but harder to define. VXUS and IXUS both offer a single ETF route to developed and emerging markets outside the United States, yet they deliver that exposure through different index frameworks.

VXUS is positioned as a broad, low-cost option with a much larger holdings footprint. IXUS follows a similar mandate but has recently delivered a higher distribution yield, despite a slightly higher fee. The distinction shows up most clearly in market coverage and cash flow.

VXUS holds far more stocks, which brings more smaller companies into the portfolio and results in broader market representation. IXUS holds fewer positions while sharing many of the same top holdings, so the difference is less about headline companies and more about index construction and dividend treatment. That is why dividend payouts can vary even when sector exposure appears similar.

For investors, this comparison comes down to breadth versus income profile. VXUS provides wider coverage at a lower cost, making it well-suited for long-term international allocations. IXUS can make sense when income matters more, and the fee difference is secondary. Both ETFs can anchor an international allocation in a portfolio, and understanding how their index rules shape income and coverage helps investors choose with confidence.
