SCE Brings Customers 2026 Bill Relief with California Climate Credit, Lower Rates

SCE Brings Customers 2026 Bill Relief with California Climate Credit, Lower Rates

A $72 summer credit and an average rate decrease of 4.3% help ease electricity costs.

ROSEMEAD, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
Millions of Southern California Edison customers are receiving a combined $72 credit on their summer electricity bills, applied automatically during August and September when energy use is high.

No action is required to receive the climate credit, which the California Public Utilities Commission shifted to peak summer months this year to help provide bill relief when it’s needed most.

The credit adds to a year of savings for SCE customers, with rates down an average of 4.3% so far in 2026 compared to last December. A further decrease is expected later this year.

“We know families and businesses are facing higher costs for everyday essentials,” said SCE President and CEO Steve Powell. “The climate credit provides direct savings on summer bills and, together with lower electricity rates this year, helps make energy more affordable for customers.”

Several factors contributed to lower rates in 2026, including updates to how past energy costs are shared between customers and the removal of other charges from rates.

SCE expects future rate updates to track at or below local inflation on average through 2030. As more homes and businesses use electricity, fixed costs can be spread across greater energy consumption, helping keep future rate increases in check.

“We work every day to help customers save on their electric bills while investing in a more reliable, resilient grid,” said Powell.

Delivering Savings Throughout the Year

SCE continues to help customers manage costs with energy savings programs, bill assistance, rebates and tools that make it easier to use energy efficiently:

  • Time-of-Use rate plans help customers shift electricity use to lower-cost times.

  • Demand Response programs reward customers for reducing electricity use during peak demand.

  • Electric vehicle rebates help customers make EV ownership more affordable.

  • SCE’s Rate Plan Comparison Tool helps customers make informed choices.

  • Nearly one-third of SCE’s residential customers receive discounts of 32.5% for California Alternate Rates for Energy or 18% for Family Electric Rate Assistance.

  • Other programs include one-time bill assistance grants through the Energy Assistance Fund, bill forgiveness, payment arrangements, and online tools such as Budget Assistant.

  • In 2025, nearly 2 million customers used SCE programs and rebates to save approximately $1.1 billion. Learn more about these opportunities and how SCE works to help customers save on their electric bills.

About the California Climate Credit

Funding for the climate credit comes from revenues generated through California’s Cap-and-Invest program, which requires power plants, fuel suppliers and large industrial facilities that emit greenhouse gases to buy carbon pollution allowances. The California Public Utilities Commission implements the climate credit program, which investor-owned utilities deliver through customer bills.

SCE supports California’s clean energy goals and ongoing efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions while maintaining a reliable electric system.

Residential customers will receive two $36 credits in 2026 — one in August and another in September. Billing cycles vary, so some customers may see the credit in the following month’s statement.

The timing of electric climate credits for eligible small business and industrial customers remains unchanged. Small business customers continue to receive credits in April and October, while industrial facilities receive an annual Industry Assistance Credit each April.

About Southern California Edison

An Edison International (NYSE: EIX) company, Southern California Edison is one of the nation’s largest electric utilities, serving a population of approximately 15 million through more than 4.5 million customer accounts in a 50,000-square-mile service area within Central, Coastal and Southern California.

Cycurion, Inc. Announces Reverse Stock Split Effective August 28, 2026

MCLEAN, Va., Aug. 26, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Cycurion, Inc. (NASDAQ: CYCU) (“Cycurion” or the “Company”), a leading cybersecurity solutions provider, announced today that it will effect a reverse stock split of its common stock at a ratio of one-for-eight (the “Reverse Stock Split”). The Reverse Stock Split will become effective at August 28, 2026, and the Company’s common stock will begin trading on a split-adjusted basis on The Nasdaq Global Market at the market open on August 28, 2026, under the existing trading symbol “CYCU.” A new CUSIP number, 95758L404, has been assigned to the Company’s common stock in connection with the Reverse Stock Split.

On August 13, 2026, the Company’s board of directors approved the implementation of the Reverse Stock Split. At the Company’s 2026 annual general meeting of stockholders held on July 23, 2026, the Company’s stockholders approved a proposal to effect one or more reverse stock splits at a ratio ranging from 3:1 to 75:1, inclusive, with an aggregate ratio not to exceed 250:1, as described in the Company’s definitive proxy statement filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on June 30, 2026, as amended. Such stockholder approval became effective on July 23, 2026.

The Reverse Stock Split is intended to, among other things, assist the Company in maintaining compliance with the minimum bid price requirement for continued listing on The Nasdaq Global Market.

When the Reverse Stock Split becomes effective, every eight shares of the Company’s common stock then issued and outstanding will be combined into one share of common stock, without any change to the par value per share and without any change in the total number of authorized shares of common stock. The number of issued and outstanding shares of common stock will be reduced from approximately 25,840,335 shares to approximately 3,230,041 shares. The Reverse Stock Split will not affect any stockholder’s percentage ownership interest in the Company, except for minor changes that may result from the treatment of fractional shares.

No fractional shares will be issued in connection with the Reverse Stock Split. Stockholders who would otherwise be entitled to receive a fractional share will receive a cash payment (without interest and subject to applicable withholding taxes) equal to the fractional share interest multiplied by the closing price of the Company’s common stock on The Nasdaq Global Market on the trading day immediately preceding the effective date of the Reverse Stock Split.

Stockholders holding share certificates will receive instructions from Equiniti Trust Company, LLC, the Company’s transfer agent, regarding the exchange of shares. Stockholders who hold their shares in brokerage accounts or in “street name” will have their positions automatically adjusted to reflect the Reverse Stock Split and will not be required to take any action.

Proportionate adjustments will be made to all outstanding equity-based awards and securities, including warrants, stock options, restricted stock awards, and convertible securities, to reflect the Reverse Stock Split. These adjustments will affect the number of shares issuable and/or the applicable exercise or conversion prices, as appropriate.

Additional information about the Reverse Stock Split can be found in the Company’s definitive proxy statement furnished to the SEC on June 30, 2026, a copy of which is available at www.sec.gov.

Actelis Strengthens Engagements with U.S. Military Networking Leaders at TechNet Augusta, to Advance Network Modernization and Cyber Resilience

Sunnyvale, Calif., Aug. 26, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Actelis Networks, Inc. (OTCQB: ASNS), a market leader in cyber-hardened, rapid deployment networking solutions for IoT, military, government, and broadband applications, participated recently in AFCEA TechNet Augusta, one of the premier U.S. defense and industry events focused on military cyber, network modernization, and “C5ISR” (Command, Control, Computers, Communications, Cyber, Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance).

The event brought together organizations and leaders from across the U.S. Army’s communications, cyber, network operations communities, providing a firsthand look at the priorities driving military network modernization efforts.

Throughout the conference, Actelis engaged with representatives from across Army organizations, federal systems integrators, and technology partners in discussions aimed at supporting mission-critical communications infrastructure. A common theme was echoed; Actelis can assist the Army’s goal to modernize communications and network infrastructure faster, make them more secure and cost-effective, by making maximum use of existing assets and infrastructure. This engagement comes amid a sharp expansion in federal investment in network modernization: the U.S. Department of Defense has requested $42.7 billion in fiscal year 2026 funding for C5ISR-related programs alone, an 11.4% increase over fiscal year 2025.1

Actelis’ solutions, delivering fiber-grade performance over existing wireline infrastructure, was identified as a practical approach for supporting the military evolving operational requirements, while reducing deployment complexity and dependence on new infrastructure construction.

The event also strengthened Actelis’ relationships with systems integrators and technology partners serving defense customers. Discussions explored opportunities to support Army and broader Department of War networking initiatives, including base modernization projects, secure communications infrastructure, and mission-critical connectivity requirements.

“What’s encouraging is how practical the conversations are now,” says Jason Chasse, VP of Federal and Military Sales at Actelis. “We are solving real networking challenges that military organizations are facing today, in hours, days and weeks versus outdated practices taking months and years to complete. The cost savings are dramatic, but our ability to provide secure network connectivity in such a short period of time to support the Army’s mission is what separates Actelis from other traditional solutions. We look forward to expanding our support of defense initiatives across all DoW organizations, federal system integrators and industry partners in the future,” said Chasse.

About Actelis Networks, Inc.
Actelis Networks, Inc. (OTCQB: ASNS) is a market leader in hybrid fiber, cyber-hardened networking solutions for rapid deployment in wide-area IoT applications, including government, ITS, military, utility, rail, telecom, and campus networks.

JAMA Dermatology Publishes Skin-Specific Outcomes from Phase 3 VALOR Trial Of Brepocitinib in Dermatomyositis

  • JAMA Dermatology publication includes results from VALOR skin-specific secondary endpoints, with rapid and durable improvements seen for brepocitinib 30 mg compared to placebo across multiple dimensions of cutaneous dermatomyositis (DM), including measurements of disease activity, itch, and skin-related quality of life
  • In patients with at least moderate itch at baseline, clinically meaningful improvements were observed as early as Week 4 in 54% of brepocitinib 30 mg patients versus 10% with placebo, increasing to 74% versus 33%, respectively, by Week 52
  • Nearly half of brepocitinib 30 mg treated patients with moderate-to-severe skin disease at baseline achieved remission-level outcomes by Week 52, with 46% demonstrating “Clear” or “Almost Clear” skin on the Investigators Global Assessment (IGA) and 44% achieving functional skin remission on the Cutaneous Dermatomyositis Activity and Severity Index – Activity Score (CDASI-A), more than two-fold higher than with placebo (22% and 21%, respectively) 
  • Results complement the primary efficacy and safety results from the VALOR trial previously published in the New England Journal of Medicine and reinforce brepocitinib’s potential as an important treatment for signs and symptoms of skin disease in dermatomyositis, regardless of muscle involvement

DURHAM, N.C., Aug. 26, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Priovant Therapeutics announced today the publication in JAMA Dermatology of skin-specific outcomes from the Phase 3 VALOR trial evaluating brepocitinib, a first-in-class oral TYK2 and JAK1 inhibitor, in adults with dermatomyositis (DM). Primary efficacy and safety results from the trial were previously published in the New England Journal of Medicine, including benefit on measures of skin disease, muscle strength, physical function, and steroid-sparing.

“Skin disease is a major and often underappreciated driver of morbidity in dermatomyositis, with an impact on quality of life that exceeds most other inflammatory skin diseases,” said Victoria P. Werth, MD, Professor of Dermatology and Medicine at the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania, Chief of the Division of Dermatology at the Philadelphia Veterans Administration Hospital, and one of the lead investigators of the Phase 3 VALOR Trial. “The rapid and sustained improvements in cutaneous disease activity and itch seen in the VALOR trial, together with the achievement of functional skin remission for many patients with moderate-to-severe skin disease at baseline, represent a monumental finding for patients with dermatomyositis. These results are particularly meaningful given how difficult cutaneous dermatomyositis manifestations and symptoms have historically been to control with conventional therapies.”

In the analyses published in JAMA Dermatology, brepocitinib 30 mg produced rapid, durable and clinically meaningful improvements across multiple dimensions of cutaneous dermatomyositis, including skin disease activity, itch and skin-related quality of life. Treatment effects were evident as early as Week 4 and sustained through Week 52, with significantly more brepocitinib-treated patients achieving clinically meaningful improvements in skin disease activity and itch, as well as remission-level skin outcomes, compared with placebo. The table below summarizes the results published in JAMA Dermatology:

  Brepocitinib 30 mg Placebo Delta (95% CI)
Disease Activity
1
Achievement of Clinically Meaningful CDASI-A Response (≥40% Improvement and ≥ 4-Point Improvement) at Week 52 61.7% 44.3% 16.8% (1.1–32.5, P=0.04)
Remission

2
Achievement of Gold Standard ≥ 2-category improvement on IGA to “Clear” / “Almost Clear” Skin at Week 52 45.7% 21.8% 21.1% (2.5 to 39.7)
Achievement of Functional Skin Remission (CDASI-A ≤ 5) at Week 52 43.5% 20.8% 26.6% (7.6 to 45.5)
Itch

3
Achievement of Clinically Meaningful Itch Reduction (≥ 2-point improvement in PP-NRS) by Week 4 54.0% 9.5% 47.3% (30.4 to 64.1)
Achievement of Clinically Meaningful Itch Reduction (≥ 2-point Improvement in PP-NRS) by Week 52 74.0% 33.3% 39.8% (18.9-60.6)
Skin-Related QoL

1
Improvement in Skindex-164 by Week 4 12.9 0.9 11.9 (6.0 to 17.9)

1Among all participants
2Among participants with at least moderate skin disease at baseline
3Among participants with at least moderate itch at baseline
4Minimal clinically important difference defined as 10 units of improvement

Abbreviations: CDASI-A, Cutaneous Dermatomyositis Disease Area and Severity Index – Activity; CDA-IGA, Cutaneous Dermatomyositis Activity-Investigator’s Global Assessment; PP-NRS, Peak Pruritus-Numerical Rating Scale; Skindex-16, skin-related quality of life

Improvements in skin disease occurred alongside reductions in oral corticosteroid (OCS) use. Among patients receiving OCS at baseline, 61.7% of patients treated with brepocitinib 30 mg tapered to 2.5 mg/day (prednisone-equivalent) or less by Week 52 compared to 34.4% receiving placebo, while 41.7% discontinued OCS altogether compared with 23.4% receiving placebo. These findings support brepocitinib’s potential to deliver meaningful control of skin disease alongside substantial tapering of OCS, an important treatment goal in DM given the cumulative toxicity associated with systemic corticosteroid use.

As previously published in the New England Journal of Medicine, the VALOR trial enrolled a broad, representative DM population including patients with prior history of benign or malignant neoplasm and patients with multiple cardiovascular risk factors. Serious infections in the study were increased in brepocitinib 30 mg compared to placebo; these events resolved with medical management, and brepocitinib treatment was completed in most cases. New or recurrent malignancy, cardiovascular events, and thromboembolic events in the study occurred more frequently in the placebo arm than the brepocitinib 30 mg arm. The brepocitinib safety database across all studies includes over 2,000 patients and subjects and supports a safety profile consistent with the known safety profile of JAK inhibitors.

About the Phase 3 VALOR Study

The VALOR study was a global Phase 3 trial that enrolled 241 subjects with dermatomyositis across 90 sites. Subjects were randomized 1:1:1 to brepocitinib 30 mg, brepocitinib 15 mg, and placebo. Brepocitinib 30 mg demonstrated statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvement compared to placebo on the primary endpoint of Total Improvement Score (TIS) at Week 52. TIS is a composite endpoint of six core set measures of myositis disease activity. Benefit compared to placebo was seen as early as Week 4 and sustained at every visit thereafter through the end of the one-year double-blind treatment period. Brepocitinib 30 mg also demonstrated statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvement compared to placebo on all nine key secondary endpoints evaluated, including measures of muscle strength, skin disease activity, functional disability, and steroid tapering. More than two thirds of brepocitinib 30 mg patients achieved a Total Improvement Score of at least 40 (TIS40), twice the minimum clinically important difference. More than half achieved this TIS40 threshold while also reducing systemic corticosteroid use to ≤2.5 mg/day (prednisone-equivalent). Brepocitinib exhibited a safety profile consistent with the known safety profile of JAK inhibitors, with no new safety signals identified.

About Priovant

Priovant Therapeutics is a biotechnology company dedicated to developing novel therapies for autoimmune diseases with high morbidity and few available treatment options. The company’s lead asset is brepocitinib, a first-in-class, selective inhibitor of TYK2 and JAK1. Through selective TYK2/JAK1 inhibition, brepocitinib distinctively suppresses key cytokines linked to autoimmunity—including type I IFN, type II IFN, IL-6, IL-12 and IL-23—with a single, targeted, once-daily oral therapy. Brepocitinib recently generated positive Phase 3 data in dermatomyositis. Brepocitinib is also being evaluated in a Phase 3 program in non-infectious uveitis, a Phase 3 program in cutaneous sarcoidosis, and a Phase 2b/3 program in lichen planopilaris. Priovant Therapeutics is a Roivant (Nasdaq: ROIV) company.

Kaplan Fox Encourages GoDaddy Inc. (NYSE: GDDY) Investors with Significant Losses to Contact the Firm Before October 20, 2026

NEW YORK, Aug. 26, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Kaplan Fox & Kilsheimer LLP (www.kaplanfox.com) has filed a class action suit in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against GoDaddy Inc. (“GoDaddy” or the “Company”) (NYSE: GDDY), captioned Johnson v. GoDaddy Inc., et al., Case No. 1:26-cv-07144, on behalf of all persons and entities who purchased GoDaddy common stock during the period September 3, 2025 through February 24, 2026, inclusive (the “Class Period”).

or by calling (212) 329-8566.

DEADLINE REMINDER: If you are a member of the proposed Class, you may move the court no later than October 20, 2026 to serve as a lead plaintiff for the purported class. If you have losses we encourage you to contact us to learn more about the lead plaintiff process. You need not seek to become a lead plaintiff in order to share in any possible recovery.

The Complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period, the Defendants made false and misleading statements, and omitted information necessary to make the statements not false or misleading at the time they were made, because while the Company represented to investors that its strategy “isn’t to grow customers just for the sake of growing customers” and that “[w]e’ve seen the average order size go up,” the Company had implemented a promotion focusing on short term contracts with smaller valuations, which in turn led to a decrease in total bookings and deceleration of bookings growth for both the fourth quarter and full year 2025.

The Complaint further alleges that on February 24, 2026 after the close of the market, the truth regarding the Company’s promotional discount instituted in the fall of 2025 and its material, adverse effect on total bookings growth was revealed when the Company issued a press release reporting its fourth quarter and full year 2025 financial results with the SEC on Form 8-K (the “Press Release”). The Press Release revealed that total bookings growth had sharply decelerated to 5% in the fourth quarter of 2025.

The Complaint alleges that these disclosures caused the price of GoDaddy common stock to decline from a price of $92.30 per share on Tuesday, February 24, 2026 to a closing price of $79.12 per share on Wednesday, February 25, 2026, a decline of $13.18 per share, or more than 14% on heavier than usual volume.

Plaintiff seeks to recover damages on behalf of the proposed Class and is represented by Kaplan Fox & Kilsheimer LLP (www.kaplanfox.com). Our firm, with offices in New York, Oakland, California, Los Angeles, Chicago, and New Jersey, has decades of experience in prosecuting investor class actions and actions involving violations of the Federal securities laws.

Keysight Accelerates AttoTude IC Design Cycles by More Than 50%

Keysight Accelerates AttoTude IC Design Cycles by More Than 50%

AI infrastructure silicon delivered from concept to tape-out in under six weeks

SANTA ROSA, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Keysight Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: KEYS) today announced that AttoTude Inc., a pioneer of next-generation ASICs over Dielectric interconnect technology for AI and hyperscale data center applications, has expanded its use of Keysight EDA software to manage its full IC design workflow. As a result, AttoTude has reduced its design cycles by more than 50% while achieving first-pass silicon success across advanced RF, sub-THz, and THz tape-outs that underpin its guided-wave interconnect platform.

Design velocity is emerging as a competitive advantage, with global semiconductor revenue forecast to exceed $1.3 trillion in 2026 and AI semiconductors expected to account for 30% of the market. For organizations developing AI interconnect technologies, accelerating silicon development while minimizing costly respins is vital to delivering the required bandwidth, efficiency, and scalability.

AttoTude designs integrated circuits that support per-lane data rates of 200G, 400G, and 800G, where on-chip interconnects behave as waveguides and accurate electromagnetic simulation is essential. With engineers working in parallel on sub-THz and THz subsystems, coordinating workloads without a shared, version-controlled environment makes first-pass silicon success difficult to achieve at scale. With the Keysight Advanced Design System (ADS) platform, AttoTude has cut design cycles to less than six weeks, with designs consistently performing to specification on first silicon.

Utilizing Keysight’s design data management software, AttoTude maintains a single source of truth across its design environment, giving engineers full traceability and visibility at every stage. System-level scenario planning allows the team to explore design trade-offs before committing to silicon, with simulation-to-measurement correlation ensuring results reflect performance. As operating frequencies extend from RF into the sub-THz and THz domains, maintaining consistency between layouts, electromagnetic models, and simulation data becomes critical to delivering reliable silicon.

Richard Chan, ASIC Architect and Development Leader, AttoTude, said: “Developing an ASICs over Dielectric interconnect platform that spans signaling frequencies from 100 GHz to 3 THz requires an exceptional level of design accuracy and simulation fidelity. Keysight’s EDA software has enabled our engineering team to move faster with greater confidence, helping us accelerate development while consistently achieving first-pass silicon success.”

Nilesh Kamdar, General Manager, Keysight EDA, said: “At Keysight, we measure success by what our customers achieve. The next generation of AI infrastructure will be built by the teams that move from design to silicon fastest, and AttoTude is proving what that speed makes possible.”

On July 8, 2026, news emerged that a former Alignment Healthcare executive had filed a whistleblower complaint alleging the Company engaged in “accounting irregularities” that “artificially inflated” Alignment Healthcare’s previously reported and projected financial results, including “Adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (“Adjusted EBITDA”), a key non-GAAP financial metric central to the Company’s reported financial performance and executive compensation structure.” According to the lawsuit “millions of dollars in operating expenses had been systematically misclassified as capital expenditures.”

Following this news, on July 8, 2026, the price of Alignment Healthcare stock fell $4.02 per share, or 16.7%, to close at $20.03 per share.
