Around 57% of households have some type of unsecured debt, including credit cards and personal loans. This debt can be a financial burden because borrowers must make monthly payments and cover interest.
Once you've taken on debt, you're committed to paying it back. Otherwise, you could hurt your credit score and face collection activity. But what happens if the company you borrowed from runs into financial trouble and goes out of business? Does that mean your debt disappears?

Osaic has been hit with a class action suit claiming the firm put its own profits ahead of customers in how it has handled its various cash sweep programs.
In the suit filed in Arizona federal court, Osaic customers Robin Nackman and Douglas Whittaker accused Osaic of a "dramatic underpayment of interest" to their customers, violating their "contractual, implied and/or fiduciary obligations" to the plaintiffs.
"Despite its representation to the contrary, Osaic categorically has not adjusted interest rates paid to customers based on economic or prevailing market factors, but rather has kept the sweep rates artificially depressed as to reap substantial profits for itself," the complaint read.
In the complaint, Nackman and Whittaker argue that typically, uninvested cash from customer accounts is moved (or "swept") into interest-bearing accounts, generating client returns.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. — Kenco opened a 30,000-square-foot Innovation Lab on Sept. 10, tripling a testing footprint the third-party logistics provider first built in 2015.
The larger facility allows Kenco to run warehouse automation testing on larger and more complex systems. It also allows more of those systems to run side by side. Testing takes place inside a building designed to mirror real-world warehouse conditions so results carry over to a live distribution center.
Ainsley Williams, vice president of automation and innovation at Kenco, described the expansion as benefiting both manufacturers and customers.
"The Innovation Lab has long stood as the convergence point for leading technologies and real-world applications, helping both manufacturers and customers identify and realize what's possible," Williams said. "By tripling our innovation footprint, we can further provide a ***** e for OEMs to continue experimenting with their products in a real environment and for customers to explore product and value without having to invest in them."
The original lab was created to help the company understand how emerging technologies such as automation would affect its operations.

On August 4, Voya Financial (NYSE:VOYA) announced its second-quarter 2026 results, and the headline numbers tell an uncomfortable story. Net income available to common shareholders dropped to $90 million, or $0.97 per diluted share, down from $162 million and $1.66 a year earlier. Adjusted operating earnings fell just as sharply, to $140 million from $240 million. Yet look past the income statement and Voya's underlying businesses were adding client ******* ets, growing fee income, and returning cash to shareholders at a steady pace.
Voya's Retirement business crossed 10 million participant accounts during the quarter, a milestone that arrived alongside the completed integration of OneAmerica. Total client ******* ets in that segment reached $863 billion as of June 30, up 14% from $757 billion a year earlier, and fee-based revenues climbed 10% year over year. Investment Management told a similar story. Pre-tax adjusted operating earnings there rose 12% to $57 million, helped by $1.2 billion of net inflows during the quarter that pushed ******* ets under management to $377 billion, up from $360 billion a year ago.
Assets under advisory grew even faster, reaching $63 billion from $54 billion. Margins widened too, up 100 basis points on a trailing twelve-month basis to 29.0%. Employee Benefits, often the company's most volatile segment, showed real underwriting progress: the total aggregate loss ratio improved to 74% from 79% a year earlier, lifting its trailing twelve-month margin to 11.0% from just 3.7%. None of that came at the expense of shareholders. Voya generated roughly $150 million of excess capital in the quarter, more than fully converting its adjusted operating earnings into deployable cash, and returned about $200 million through dividends and buybacks, with $263 million still authorized for future repurchases.
The drop in profitability traces to specific, identifiable costs. Corporate reported pre-tax adjusted operating losses of $102 million, up from $67 million a year earlier, largely because of roughly $40 million in severance tied to efficiency actions. A $15 million pre-tax loss on alternative investments added further pressure. Those same alternative investment declines hit Retirement directly: pre-tax adjusted operating earnings there fell to $190 million from $235 million, even as fee revenue grew, because lower alternative investment income and planned strategic investment spending offset the gains. Employee Benefits saw the sharpest swing, with pre-tax adjusted operating earnings falling to $22 million from $69 million.

On August 4, Innospec (NASDAQ:IOSP) reported second-quarter results that pushed revenue up 12% to $491.4 million, with every one of its three businesses posting higher operating income. Net income attributable to Innospec climbed to $30.8 million, or $1.25 per diluted share, up from $23.5 million and 94 cents a year earlier. That headline growth was real, but a look further down the cash flow statement shows a business generating far less cash than its earnings suggest, a gap investors weighing this specialty chemicals maker need to understand.
Every segment expanded in the quarter ended June 30. Performance Chemicals revenue rose 9% to $190.3 million, with operating income up 15% to $16.4 million as price and mix gains of 8% more than offset a 2% drop in volumes. Fuel Specialties, the company's largest and most profitable unit, grew revenue 12% to $185.7 million on a 7% volume increase, with margins staying inside management's target range even as the business absorbed input cost pressure.
Oilfield Services put up the sharpest turnaround. Revenue jumped 14% to $115.4 million, gross margin expanded 2.7 percentage points to 32.3%, and operating income surged 40% to $8.7 million, a swing the company tied to its recent DRA plant expansion. That kind of margin recovery in a smaller segment can move the needle disproportionately if it continues.
Underneath all of it sits a debt-free balance sheet with $250.2 million in net cash. Innospec used part of that cushion to pay its semi-annual dividend of 92 cents per share and repurchase 87,089 shares for $6.4 million in the quarter, continuing a pattern of returning cash to shareholders without adding leverage.
The cash flow statement tells a less flattering story. Operating cash flow for the first six months of 2026 fell to $24.8 million from $38.8 million a year earlier, as working capital changes consumed $60.9 million compared with $22.6 million in the prior-year period. Cash and equivalents dropped to $250.2 million at quarter-end from $292.5 million at the start of the year, even before the dividend and buybacks funded from that balance are counted.

(By Oil & Gas 360) – Month Ending: August 2026 – August was the month energy markets began treating geopolitical disruption less like a temporary shock and more like a structural part of the investment landscape. The Iran conflict remained the dominant force running through oil prices, tanker markets, LNG flows, sanctions policy, and shipping through the Strait of Hormuz.
Yet one of the more revealing developments was how quickly commodity markets learned to absorb the uncertainty. Oil could rally on renewed fighting, fall on hopes for diplomacy, and then trade lower even as physical shipping constraints remained very real.
The industry's response told a different story. Producers, midstream companies, and governments continued committing capital to natural gas, new drilling inventory, offshore exploration, pipelines, ports, automation, and alternative supply routes. August was therefore not simply a month defined by war or volatile crude prices. It was a month that exposed how deeply intertwined energy security, infrastructure, technology, and access to resources are becoming.
The Iran conflict remained the defining energy story of August. Brent repeatedly moved in response to developments surrounding fighting and diplomacy, while commodity vessel traffic through the Strait of Hormuz fell to a three-month low. Reports that nearly half of global oil flows originated in or moved through conflict-affected regions underscored just how exposed the world's energy system had become to geopolitical instability.
The consequences extended well beyond crude prices. VLCC tanker rates reportedly climbed as high as $650,000 per day, Qatar suffered a severe collapse in LNG exports, and Gulf producers accelerated investment in pipelines and ports capable of reducing dependence on vulnerable maritime corridors.

It's not often that we use "high yield" and "tech stocks" in the same sentence. However, some of the legacy software and consulting companies have joined the league, thanks to the drawdown in their stocks amid "AI-pocalypse" fears. With artificial intelligence (AI) looking to automate coding and back-office tasks, the "man-hours" model that IT services firms rely on could be at risk. Accenture (ACN) is among the names that have been in the penalty box amid fears that AI would cause large-scale business disruption for the sector. However, such fears have eased, and legacy tech companies, which were considered net AI losers, have jumped sharply from their lows. Looking at some specific stocks, Adobe (ADBE) and Salesforce (CRM) have respectively risen 54% and 76% from their 2026 lows, while Accenture has soared 60%.
Despite the rally, Accenture still has a dividend yield of 3.4%, which is well ahead of the S&P 500 Index ($SPX) average. The company has a long history of paying dividends and started paying a semi-annual dividend in 2005, eventually transitioning to quarterly dividends beginning in 2019. It has increased its payouts every year since its initiation, with an impressive annualized growth of 11.1%. Last year, the company raised its quarterly dividend by 10.1% to $1.63 per share.

Cheniere Energy, Inc. (NYSE:LNG) is substantially completing the Corpus Christi Stage 3 expansion, with contractor Bechtel handing over the seventh and final liquefaction train. The project adds more than 10 million tonnes per annum (mtpa) of LNG capacity, lifting Cheniere's overall production capacity to roughly 56 mtpa, an increase of more than 20%.
The timing is favorable because Cheniere is entering a period of higher production while global LNG demand remains strong. In its latest quarterly results, Cheniere raised its 2026 adjusted EBITDA guidance to $7.9 billion-$8.4 billion, from $7.25 billion-$7.75 billion previously. The company also said it expects higher exports as its expansion projects ramp up. The company is not finished expanding Corpus Christi. It is also developing Midscale Trains 8 and 9, while the U.S. Energy Department has authorized additional exports from those trains.
The biggest positive is that Cheniere now has additional LNG capacity coming online at an established export facility. The completion of Stage 3 allows Cheniere to increase volumes without having to build an entirely new LNG terminal from scratch. The company expects increased exports next year as it benefits from a full year of production from its expansion projects. That creates a relatively straightforward growth path: more LNG volumes can generate more revenue, while the existing infrastructure and long-term commercial arrangements can support attractive cash generation.
Cheniere Energy, Inc. (NYSE:LNG) is positioned to benefit from continued growth in LNG consumption, particularly in Europe and Asia. U.S. LNG deliveries to Asia reached a quarterly record of 11 million metric tons in Q2 2026, while Cheniere continues to see strong demand and competitive pricing in new contract negotiations. The company's scale also gives it an advantage as global buyers seek reliable LNG supplies. The U.S. has become the world's largest LNG exporter, with Cheniere playing a central role in that export growth.
The completion of Stage 3 further increases the gap between Cheniere and competing U.S. LNG exporters. The project takes Corpus Christi's production capabilities to a much higher level and gives Cheniere greater exposure to international LNG demand. This scale can also improve the company's ability to serve customers across different markets and capture attractive destination pricing. Cheniere has historically used strong cash generation to return capital to shareholders while continuing to invest in expansion. The company is balancing shareholder returns with investments in additional production capacity.

JPMorgan remains constructive on equities heading towards the end of the year, although the bank expects further gains to be driven by shifts between market segments rather than a broad-based surge in stocks.
"In equities, we stay constructive into year-end, expecting a grind higher with rotation rather than a broad melt-up move," strategist Fabio Bassi wrote in a note to clients.
The bank pointed to the recovery in semiconductor stocks as evidence of a tactical improvement in risk appetite. With Federal Reserve patience helping to keep volatility contained, JPMorgan expects investor positioning and differences in performance across market segments to shape the next phase of the equity rally.
JPMorgan continues to favour Quality Growth stocks and hyperscalers, while also seeing opportunities in semiconductors following their recent repricing.
The bank said a Goldilocks environment, in which genuine disinflation allows the Fed to remain on hold, could create conditions for equity gains to broaden beyond current market leaders.

Nvidia reported second-quarter earnings on Wednesday, and the stock is up 7% since. Revenue grew 106% year over year, the fourth straight quarter of acceleration. Nvidia also locked in hundreds of billions of dollars of memory and advanced packaging through 2032.
The valuation remains compelling: Nvidia is worth $5.5 trillion, but it also trades at a forward P/E ratio in the low 20s. That's well below market averages.
Management has developed a cash machine: Take just one of Amazon's (NASDAQ: AMZN) planned buildouts; it could require 2 million Nvidia chips! Nvidia's CFO Colette Kress expects the top five hyperscalers to spend nearly $800 billion on capital spending in 2026. In 2027? Over $1.3 trillion.

1422 ET – Gold futures ease back from the three-month highs reached early this week after PCE inflation—a consumer price gauge favored by the Fed—picked up in July. The report was closely watched given its implications for Fed policy. “The metal could continue to benefit from concerns over U.S. debt levels as well as expectations of a Fed hold at its next meeting,” Critical Metals CEO Tony Sage says in a note. “However, a hike is still expected at the following meeting, which could fuel some pressure.” Front month gold finishes down 0.86% to $4598.20 a troy ounce.

Shares of Affirm Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:AFRM) fell 1.3% on August 18 as Klarna plunged more than 22% after reducing its 2026 volume and revenue forecasts. Klarna now expects full-year gross merchandise volume of $149 billion-$151 billion, down from more than $155 billion, and revenue of $4.08 billion-$4.16 billion, down from $4.34 billion. Yet the warning was not cleanly industrywide. Klarna's second-quarter revenue increased 27%, overall volume rose 18%, and U.S. volume grew 27%. Management tied the weaker outlook primarily to soft German retail conditions, while currency translation reduced projected volume by approximately $600 million. Affirm shares rebounded 5.1% the next session. For Affirm Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:AFRM), the August 27 earnings report must show whether the initial decline reflected a broader consumer-credit warning or an opportunity to capture share from a slowing competitor.
Affirm Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:AFRM) enters the report with stronger momentum than Klarna's guidance might suggest. Fiscal third-quarter gross merchandise volume increased 35% to $11.6 billion, while revenue rose 33% to $1.04 billion. Active consumers grew 22% to 26.8 million, and active merchants increased 44% to 515,000.
The strongest argument for Affirm Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:AFRM) is that its growth is spreading beyond the online checkout ****** on. Affirm Card volume jumped 146% to $2.1 billion, while active cardholders more than doubled to 4.4 million. Direct-to-consumer volume increased 48%, and wallet and software partnerships helped expand the merchant network.
Affirm Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:AFRM) also has substantial funding capacity to support further share gains. Capacity reached $28.2 billion in March, up from $23.3 billion a year earlier, while the average annualized cost of funds declined 126 basis points to 5.8%. The company estimated that its funding arrangements could support more than $65 billion of annual volume. If Klarna prioritizes profitability over aggressive near-term growth, as some ****** ysts inferred, the slower volume outlook could create room for Affirm without requiring the company to strain its balance sheet.
Affirm Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:AFRM) remains exposed to the same consumer and financing pressures affecting the broader BNPL category. The 30-plus-day delinquency rate on monthly installment loans, excluding Peloton and Pay in X, increased 29 basis points year over year to 2.8%. The allowance for credit losses rose to 6.0% of loans held for investment from 5.7% a year earlier.

It's the day after one of the surprise healthcare stories of 2026.
Moderna (MRNA) shares fell 20% in early trading on Thursday after a stunning 177% gain yesterday on news that the biotech and partner Merck (MRK) notched a big breakthrough in the fight against cancer.
The pair announced that their personalized mRNA cancer vaccine — called intismeran — successfully hit its primary goal in a Phase 3 late-stage trial, demonstrating a meaningful reduction in melanoma recurrence in patients who had already had their tumors surgically removed.
The trial compared using intismeran alongside Merck's well-known immunotherapy drug Keytruda against using Keytruda alone. Patients who received the combination lived meaningfully longer without their cancer returning or spreading.
"It's a home run, maybe even a grand slam," Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel said on Yahoo Finance (video above). "The results are pretty amazing."

The UK Government has awarded a contract worth up to £456m to consultancy companies KPMG and EY to train civil servants, the Financial Times (FT) reported, citing data from government procurement tracker Tussell.
Under the arrangement, EY and KPMG will train officials across various skills areas including AI between 2026 and 2028.
The deal is said to be the largest single contract awarded to 'Big Four' companies since Tussell started tracking records in 2012.
The previous record was a £322m deal between the Foreign Office and PricewaterhouseCoopers, signed in 2012.
KPMG's share of the contract is capped at £319m. The figure represents almost a quarter of the company's total UK advisory net sales from last year.

Organic revenue growth of nearly 60% was primarily driven by the data center and technology end market, where speed-to-market requirements from clients are accelerating.
Management attributes the record $5.7 billion backlog to a 'momentum' effect, where increasing project complexity and size favor firms with large-scale technical expertise and fabrication capacity.
Strategic diversification into life sciences, healthcare, and education provided a stable growth foundation, while the manufacturing sector is emerging as a high-growth area due to reshoring trends.
Operational efficiency is being realized through a 200,000 square foot expansion of fabrication capacity, allowing for more work to be shifted from the field to controlled factory environments.
