Revenue and the company's loss per share both came in better than Wall Street expectations and the company also reported record non-GAAP gross margin while also highlighting continued progress across its charging business.
Q2 revenue increased 18% year-over-year to $116.1 million, exceeding the $105.2 million ****** yst estimate. ChargePoint Holdings, Inc (NYSE:CHPT) reported an adjusted loss of 35 cents per share, compared with ****** ysts' expectations for a loss of 85 cents per share, according to average estimates compiled by LSEG.

Networked charging systems revenue was up 25% year-over-year as it reached $62.9 million. Subscription revenue increased 10% to $43.7 million. Additionally, the company reported a 78% improvement in its non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA loss, which narrowed sharply to $4.8 million from $22.1 million in the same quarter last year.

Teva Pharmaceuticals Industries (NYSE:TEVA) is moving 2.9% lower to trade at $36.41, pulling back from its Aug. 27, nearly nine-year high of $38.36. The $36 level looks to have moved in as a floor of support, a former level of resistance for the shares since late January. More gains could be on the table, however, with a fresh bull signal now flashing for the drug maker.
TEVA's long-term outperformance comes amid historically low implied volatility (IV). Specifically, the equity's current SVI of 29% stands in the low 5th percentile of its annual range.
According to data from Schaeffer's Senior Quantitative ******* yst Rocky White, there have been five instances in the past five years when the equity traded within 2% of its 52-week high, while its Schaeffer's Volatility Index (SVI) ranked in the 20th percentile of its annual range or lower.
TEVA was higher one month later 80% of the time after those signals, averaging a 5.5% gain. From its current perch, a shift of this amount would put the equity back above $38 -- within a chip-shot of its August peak.
Options traders are still not convinced. This is per the equity's 10-day put/call volume ratio at the International Securities Exchange (ISE), Cboe Options Exchange (CBOE), and NASDAQ OMX PHLX (PHLX), which sits higher than 96% of readings from the past year. Should this bearish sentiment begin to unwind, it could trigger more tailwinds for the shares.

Achieved the highest second quarter net income per share in company history, attributed to disciplined operating teams and favorable market tailwinds.
Performance was significantly bolstered by Section 45Z production tax credits, which contributed approximately $18.4 million directly to gross profit during the quarter.
Gross profit grew approximately 144% year-over-year even when excluding the impact of 45Z tax credits, driven by stronger industry crush margins.
Operational success is supported by a robust balance sheet with no bank debt and $379.5 million in cash and short-term investments, allowing for internal funding of all growth projects.

As parents continue to feel pressures on their household budgets, increasingly skipping specialty clothing stores in favor of one-stop shopping at big-box giants like Target and Walmart, another children's apparel retailer is closing stores.
Industry data confirms this shift, revealing that mass merchants now capture 80% of planned spending in the back-to-school category, according to Deloitte.
This shift in consumer spending habits, paired with the shrinking malls data, including projection from Capital One Shopping suggesting that up to 87% of traditional shopping malls could close over the next decade, has forced a number of mall clothing retailers to shut a number of underperforming locations.
A mall staple The Children's Place has shuttered hundreds of locations in recent years as part of a major restructuring plan to shed costly real estate, and legacy specialty chain, Carter's, has started its wave of planned closures in 2025.
Founded in 1865, Carter's grew from a modest Massachusetts knitting mill into North America's largest children's clothing maker by continually expanding its footprint and acquiring legacy brands like OshKosh B'gosh.

AppLovin's first revenue miss in four quarters triggered a 54% year-to-date collapse despite 52% revenue growth and an 84% adjusted EBITDA margin.
UBS ***** yst Stephen Ju targets APP at $790, implying 158% upside, even as TTD cratered on its own Q2 revenue miss.

AppLovin (NASDAQ:APP) trades at $305.77, while the average Wall Street ***** yst target sits at $526.39. That gap implies roughly 72% of upside if the Street is right, and one bank thinks the disconnect is far wider.
AppLovin runs an AI-powered mobile advertising platform built around its AXON recommendation engine, which places ads inside mobile games and increasingly in e-commerce and consumer apps. Wall Street focuses on two factors: extraordinary margins (an 84% adjusted EBITDA margin in the latest quarter) and management's belief the auction technology can compound revenue at roughly 30% annually long term.

WASHINGTON, Aug 19 (Reuters) - Total U.S. debt has topped $40 trillion for the first time, the Treasury Department said on Wednesday, drawing fresh warnings that a fiscal crisis is brewing as ballooning costs for social safety-net programs and interest payments far outstrip revenues held back by tax cuts.
The Treasury's latest daily cash and debt balances statement showed total public debt outstanding at $40.047 trillion on Tuesday, a total that includes Treasury securities held by the public of $32.266 trillion and intra-governmental debt holdings of $7.782 trillion.
The federal government's IOU has now more than doubled in less than a decade, from $19.95 trillion when President Donald Trump was sworn in for the first time in January 2017. Roughly one-third of that increase occurred during two years of frantic government borrowing to fund the COVID-19 pandemic responses undertaken by Trump and former President Joe Biden, while the fiscal policy choices of both presidents combined with long-running tax-and-spending imbalances account for the rest.
Budget watchdog groups have anticipated crossing the threshold for weeks and issued stark warnings that a full-blown debt crisis could erupt unless lawmakers confront an unsustainable fiscal outlook and raise taxes, cut spending or both.

Creating and following a budget is hard for most people. But it can be particularly challenging for single parents. Between housing, groceries, childcare, transportation, and all the unexpected costs that come with raising kids, there may not be much room for error.
Plus, the burnout you experience from solo parenting might lead to bad financial decisions and neglected money management.
But a realistic budget can help you make the most of your income, prepare for surprise expenses, and make steady progress toward your financial goals. As a financial educator and former NFCC-certified credit counselor, these are my tips for managing your budget as a single parent.
The starting point for creating a budget is to pinpoint your monthly income and total monthly expenses. It's normal for both of these figures to vary, so I recommend looking for your monthly averages. If your income varies by a lot, use the most conservative figure you expect to earn.

The US dollar (DX-Y.NYB) is currently caught in a tug-of-war between oil prices and the Federal Reserve, Rabobank senior FX strategist Jane Foley pointed out in a note to clients on Thursday.
It began when the dollar's old relationship with oil started breaking down.
Historically, crude oil (CL=F, BZ=F) and the greenback have moved in opposite directions. Oil is priced in dollars, so a stronger currency weighs on the commodity because it costs buyers more to purchase it.
That relationship began to shift in 2022, when Russia invaded Ukraine and the US cemented its position as a major energy exporter, Foley stated. That shift became more significant as the war in Iran disrupted shipping through the Strait of Hormuz.
Higher oil prices once represented an almost unambiguously negative shock for the US economy. But the war in Iran — which has triggered the largest energy supply crisis in history — has presented an opportunity for major US oil producers to ramp up production and take advantage of higher prices, bolstering the country's energy exports.

Aecom (NYSE: ACM) is an engineering and consulting giant that designs highways, transit lines, and water systems, and then manages the contractors who actually build them.
This week showed investors how important that distinction is as someone else's work hurt Aecom, sending its shares down 17.9% to a 52-week low of $60.35 as of Friday noon, according to data provided by S&P Global Market Intelligence.
Missed Nvidia in 2009? This Rare Signal Is Flashing Again. In 2009, a "Double Down" signal flashed for a little-known chipmaker called Nvidia. For the first time in years, that same "Total Conviction" signal is flashing for a company 1/100th the size of Nvidia. Continue »
Aecom reported a net loss of $0.65 per share for its third quarter of fiscal year 2026 this week versus net earnings per share (EPS) of $1.32 in the year-ago quarter.
Back in 2019, Aecom signed on to manage a construction project under terms and conditions that would not meet its current risk policies. Subcontractors are running behind, and costs are exceeding estimates, resulting in a $377 million pre-tax loss for Aecom in Q3.

From counting the coins in their piggy bank to receiving their first paycheck, your child will eventually want a bank account of their own. Setting them up with a checking account can teach them how to manage money, spend responsibly, and even budget — all under your parental guidance.
Minors can't open bank accounts on their own, but a parent or guardian can open one on their behalf. Learn more about the different types of checking accounts for minors and how you can open one together.
In general, your child must reach the age of majority to open a checking account on their own. (This often means age 18, but it varies by state.) But they can still have a checking account before they hit that milestone — they just need your help to open one.
There's generally no age limit for a child to open a bank account, provided you or another adult is a co-owner or custodian of the account. However, some banks limit kids' accounts to certain ages. For example, the Capital One MONEY Teen Checking account is available for kids eight and older, and Chase First Banking is for kids ages six through 17.

Emerald Wealth Partners, an independent **** et and wealth management firm based in Zurich, released its Q2 2026 investor letter for the "Focused Equity Strategy." A copy of the letter can be downloaded here. The Strategy reported a 0.8% gross return for the second quarter of 2026. Equity markets rallied after the first quarter's Iran shock faded and oil prices reversed their spike, but the advance remained narrow and concentrated in cyclical semiconductor and memory stocks benefiting from supply constraints. The letter warned that investors were treating peak-cycle earnings as durable, while FOMO, IPO demand, and a US cyclically adjusted P/E ratio near 40 pointed to late-cycle market behavior. Long-term fundamentals are currently undervalued by the market, leading to underperformance in the strategy, notably due to the portfolio's avoidance of low-quality momentum-driven semiconductor stocks, which boosted the benchmark this quarter. It remains focused on enterprise infrastructure, digital platforms, custom silicon, and networking businesses that hold customer relationships, workflow data, distribution, and efficiency advantages, which could allow them to monetize AI rather than be displaced by it. Please review the Strategy's top five holdings for its key selections.
According to Emerald Wealth Partners Focused Equity Strategy's Q2 2026 investor letter, Intercontinental Exchange, Inc. (NYSE:ICE), a US-based financial services company that provides technology, data, and market infrastructure to financial institutions, corporations, and government entities, detracted from the performance. On August 04, 2026, Intercontinental Exchange, Inc. (NYSE:ICE) closed at $149.20 per share, reflecting a market capitalization of $83.76 billion. Intercontinental Exchange, Inc. (NYSE:ICE) posted a one-month return of 8.77%, and its shares lost 20.66% over the past 52 weeks.
Emerald Wealth Partners Focused Equity Strategy stated the following regarding Intercontinental Exchange, Inc. (NYSE:ICE) in its Q2 2026 investor letter:
"Intercontinental Exchange, Inc.'s (NYSE:ICE) 21.4% share decline knocked 58 bps from the portfolio's performance. ICE is emblematic of a broader group of high-quality businesses caught in a negative AI narrative largely disconnected from their underlying fundamentals. The company owns a unique collection of complementary franchises — including the New York Stock Exchange, clearing houses, fixed income data businesses and a mortgage technology platform — **** embled over decades through disciplined and accretive acquisitions. These businesses continue to benefit from secular growth in trading volumes and recurring data revenues, while the electronification of mortgage origination remains in its early stages. In our view, artificial intelligence is far more likely to enhance the value of ICE's proprietary data and infrastructure than replicate the **** ets that underpin its competitive advantages."

Prioritizing cash flow and stability can be crucial for investors who are in their retirement years. As investors age, it becomes more important to preserve capital rather than risk it in growth stocks that may or may not achieve their lofty ambitions.
Three stocks that retirees may want to consider for their portfolios today include Verizon Communications (NYSE: VZ), Medtronic (NYSE: MDT), and Duke Energy (NYSE: DUK). These dividend stocks can add diversification, generate a ton of dividend income over the years, and be fairly safe investments to hang on to, even amid market instability.

Cash flow is what retirees can expect from Verizon Communications stock. They can generate a boatload of it from the stock's lavish dividend, which yields close to 6.1%. It's a payout that almost seems too good to be true for a top telecom stock. The stock has risen 14% this year and has begun to rally after a pullback that spanned multiple years. Rising interest rates have weighed on many telecom stocks, even though their underlying businesses remain sound. Verizon is a prime example of that.
The business pays its shareholders a ton of cash and also generates plenty of it. In the trailing 12 months, Verizon's free cash flow has totaled more than $20 billion, easily enough to cover the roughly $12 billion it paid in dividends during that period. That also puts it in an excellent position to raise its cash dividend payments in the future.

Give credit where credit is due: Like a rolling stone, there's no moss growing on NASA these days.

Barely a month later, NASA is revising the plan -- and finding more money to fund it.
NASA said in June that it intends to eventually award $20 billion in contracts, but rolled out the project with just a few hundred million dollars' worth of contract announcements to start. On June 30, however, the agency roughly doubled the amount of money on offer, announcing nearly $600 million in new lunar landing contracts for its **** e company partners.

Contech giant Procore has entered an agreement to acquire DroneDeploy, a prominent robotics and visual intelligence platform that's used in over 180 countries, according to a Wednesday announcement. Procore will acquire the firm for $845 million in cash, subject to customary purchase price adjustments.
When the acquisition closes later this year, Procore and DroneDeploy will sell one another's solutions to their client base, Ajei Gopal, president and CEO of Procore, said in the announcement.
The combination will create a veritable ocean of construction data. By pairing the two tech companies' capabilities, builders will be able to use cameras, drones and robots to regularly evaluate jobsites and automatically initiate appropriate responses securely, compliantly and in context, per the announcement.
The deal underscores the power of data control in a landscape dominated by artificial intelligence. Simply put, data is king.

By pairing the two tech companies' capabilities, builders will be able to use cameras, drones and robots to regularly evaluate jobsites and automatically initiate appropriate responses securely, compliantly and in context, per the announcement.
The deal underscores the power of data control in a landscape dominated by artificial intelligence. Simply put, data is king.

Wabtec provides locomotives, equipment, systems, and services for the freight rail and passenger transit industries, including locomotives powered by different fuels, engines, electric motors, propulsion systems, marine products, and mining products to customers around the world. WAB's second-quarter fiscal 2026 report showed $3.2 billion in revenue (a 17.5% year-over-year gain), adjusted per-share earnings of $2.76 (up 21.6%), and increased 2026 revenue and EPS guidance to $12.5 billion and $10.90, respectively.
It's no wonder WAB shares are up 43% this year – and they could rise more. MoneyFlows data shows how Big Money investors are betting heavily on the forward picture of the stock.
Institutional volumes reveal plenty. In the last year, WAB has enjoyed strong investor demand, which we believe to be institutional support.
Each green bar signals unusually large volumes in WAB shares. They reflect our proprietary inflow signal, pushing the stock higher:
Plenty of industrials names are under accumulation right now. But there's a powerful fundamental story happening with Wabtec.

Sarepta Therapeutics has found the leader it hopes can engineer a desperately needed turnaround.
The company on Monday announced that Michael Severino, an executive with leadership experience at startups as well as large drugmakers, will become its next CEO effective July 28. He'll replace longtime leader Doug Ingram, who in February announced plans to retire after a tumultuous run.
Severino has been working in the biopharmaceutical industry for more than two decades, including stops at AbbVie and Amgen. At AbbVie, Severino helped bring to market multiple drugs for psoriasis, arthritis, cancer and hepatitis C. At Amgen, he oversaw research and development as the company's senior vice president of development and corporate chief medical officer.
In 2022, Severino left AbbVie to run Tessera Therapeutics, a buzzy "gene writing" startup backed by Flagship Pioneering. Tessera recently brought its first drug prospect, a gene editing treatment for alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency, into clinical testing. Last week, Tessera announced that Severino had joined a "commercial stage" biotech company and that former Merck & Co. executive Joseph Romanelli would serve as its next leader.

US stocks were hammered on Thursday as the latest AI spending outlooks from Alphabet (GOOG) and Tesla (TSLA) spooked investors, and oil prices surged above $100 in the wake of expanded attacks in the Middle East.
The Nasdaq Composite (^IXIC) suffered the worst of the losses, tumbling 2.1% and briefly breaking below 25,000 for the first time since May.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average (^DJI) dropped 0.9%, meanwhile, and the S&P 500 (^GSPC) fell by 1.2%, building on a stock retreat on Wednesday amid a flurry of earnings reports.
Big Tech stocks sold off, led by declines in Alphabet and Tesla shares after the two "Magnificent Seven" heavyweights reported results after Wednesday's market close.
Alphabet posted a strong quarter fundamentally, but the Google parent's raised capex outlook comes as investors scrutinize AI's return on investment. Tesla CEO Elon Musk also said 2026 would be a "massive capex year" for the company, highlighting a focus on Optimus robots, robotaxis, and data centers.

Zcash (ZEC), the leading privacy coin by market cap, extended its decline on Wednesday, dropping by over 4% to around $510. That was down circa 15% from the local high of around $590, established a week ago.
The correction put ZEC's cup-and-handle breakout thesis at risk of invalidation. Instead, it is leading to the validation of multiple bearish reversal patterns, with downside targets under the key $500 support level.
Let's examine.
ZEC's four-hour chart shows the price breaking below the lower trendline of a symmetrical triangle near $535–$538.
A symmetrical triangle forms when price consolidates between converging support and resistance trendlines. The pattern typically resolves in either direction.
