Bausch + Lomb Announces European CE Mark Approval of SeeLyra™ Femtosecond Laser

  • Next-generation platform provides precision and control in laser-assisted preparation for premium cataract, LASIK flap and corneal therapeutic surgeries with live swept source OCT
  • Compact design accommodates today’s space-constrained operating rooms
  • Platform mobility, versatile configurations support efficiency, streamlined workflows

VAUGHAN, Ontario–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
Bausch + Lomb Corporation (NYSE/TSX: BLCO), a leading global eye health company dedicated to helping people see better to live better, today announced European CE Mark approval of SeeLyra, the company’s next generation femtosecond laser. One of the most compact femtosecond platforms available, SeeLyra provides surgeons precision and control when performing laser preparation for premium cataract, LASIK flap and corneal therapeutic surgeries while simultaneously supporting the fast, efficient workflows needed in modern operating rooms (ORs).

“Building on over 15 years of experience in the femtocataract laser market, our goal was to deliver a platform that provides both enhanced functionality and greater flexibility to the OR,” said Luc Bonnefoy, president, Surgical, Bausch + Lomb. “SeeLyra delivers, helping surgeons achieve the precise preparation and controlled conditions necessary to unlock the full potential of premium cataract surgery without compromising on space or efficiency.”

SeeLyra features integrated tools that provide accuracy and control. Live swept source OCT provides real-time depth-visualization throughout the procedure, helping to reduce variability during docking while enabling precise positioning of laser cuts and visual control during laser application. SeeLyra also retains vital, highly appreciated features of VICTUS, the previous-generation Bausch + Lomb femtosecond platform, such as an intuitive user interface designed to streamline setup and adaptability for a wide range of procedures including cataract, LASIK flap and corneal therapeutic treatments.

Compact design and the absence of a fixed patient bed, as well as compatibility with existing bed setups, allows for the flexible positioning and easy transport of SeeLyra across modern, space-constrained OR environments. The absence of a fixed bed also contributes to patient comfort, eliminating the need to switch beds between procedures. An articulating swing arm accommodates surgeons’ preferred orientation for performing surgery.

“Premium surgery success begins with precise surgical preparation of the eye,” said José Manuel Larrosa, MD, University of Zaragoza, Spain. “SeeLyra will help me to achieve this consistently on my terms, while fitting seamlessly and efficiently into our OR space and workflow.”

SeeLyra will be available in Europe on a limited basis in the coming months, with increasing availability expected in 2027. Bausch + Lomb is also in the process of seeking regulatory approvals for SeeLyra in markets around the world, including the United States. Indications and approvals may vary by country.

HONG KONG and SINGAPORE, Sept. 11, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — MoneyHero Limited (Nasdaq: MNY) (“MoneyHero” or the “Company”), a leading tech- and AI-powered personal finance aggregation and comparison platform and a digital insurance brokerage provider in Greater Southeast Asia, today announced its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2026.

Management Commentary:

Danny Leung, Interim Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, stated:

“Our second quarter delivered continued improvement in unit economics, approval quality and cost discipline, as well as our total transaction value in core markets, Hong Kong and Singapore. Net loss was US$(1.2) million, reflecting foreign exchange volatility rather than a change in our operating trajectory, and Adjusted EBITDA loss narrowed 17% year-over-year to US$(1.6) million in the quarter, while Constant FX EBITDA loss, which excludes unrealized foreign exchange impacts, narrowed 64% year-over-year to US$(0.9) million. We ended the period with US$28.2 million in cash and no debt. This progress sits alongside a deliberate decision on how we acquire customers, which also shaped our reported revenue.

Revenue was US$15.8 million in the second quarter, down 13% year-over-year, while for the first six months of 2026 revenue remained essentially flat year-over-year at US$32.3 million. However, this headline figure understates the underlying progress we have made due to a strategic decision to deploy cash rewards in Singapore and Hong Kong where there is a growing consumer preference for flexible cash incentives, allowing us to attract higher-intent customers more cost-effectively. Under IFRS accounting rules, these cash rewards are deducted from revenue rather than recorded as a cost. Adding these rewards back, total transaction value was flat year-over-year in the second quarter at US$20.9 million and grew 9% year-over-year to US$41.5 million in the first six months of 2026. These cash rewards totaled US$5.1 million in the second quarter of 2026, up 77% from US$2.9 million in the prior year period, and US$9.2 million in the first six months of 2026, up 66% year-over-year from US$5.6 million in the prior year period. Within the six-month total, Singapore represented the largest portion of these cash rewards at US$7.3 million, while Hong Kong represented US$1.9 million. Even as reported Q2 revenue moderated by 13% due to our strategic shift toward cash rewards, the total transaction value demonstrates sustained growth in our core markets, expanding in the first half of 2026 by 21% in Hong Kong and 9% in Singapore year-over-year.

Market Deep Dive: Geographic Performance

Geographically, Hong Kong remained our anchor market, holding revenue broadly flat year-over-year in the second quarter at US$7.8 million, representing half of total revenue, and grew 15% year-over-year to US$16.3 million in the first six months of 2026, underscoring the resilience of our leadership position there. This commanding market leadership drove a significant expansion in our bottom line, with Hong Kong segment profit surging to US$0.5 million from US$0.1 million in the prior year period. In Singapore, underlying operating momentum continued to expand. Cash rewards deployment was heavily concentrated in this market, resulting in a 20% decline in Q2 reported revenue to US$6.2 million, but our disciplined focus on higher-margin conversions successfully transformed the market’s unit economics. First-half of 2026 reported revenue moderated by only 8%, and the market achieved a decisive return to profitability, generating US$0.2 million in segment profit to mark a powerful turnaround from a US$(0.5) million loss in the prior year period.

Vertical Deep Dive: Product Mix Performance and Expansion

Our revenue mix continued to shift toward higher-margin products. Combined revenue from our higher-margin Wealth and Insurance verticals was US$4.7 million and accounted for 30% of total revenue, up from 27% in the prior year period. Revenue from Credit Cards declined 18% year-over-year to US$8.9 million. Reported revenue reflected an increased consumer preference shift toward cash rewards described above. Driven primarily by this shift in reward mechanics within Credit Cards alongside disciplined customer acquisition, our total cost of revenue decreased 17% year-over-year to US$7.6 million. The revenue mix-shift across the first six months of 2026 is clearer. Combined Wealth and Insurance revenue grew 11% year-over-year to US$9.3 million and now represents 29% of total revenue, with Wealth alone up 22% year-over-year to US$4.8 million, reinforcing that these higher-margin verticals continue to compound even through a softer quarter.

During the second quarter, we advanced several partner-led initiatives and continued to broaden our product offerings across key markets. In Singapore, we secured exclusive partnerships with two of the country’s largest retail banks, moved to a fixed-fee arrangement with a global banking group, and established an exclusive partnership with a digital brokerage platform. Exclusivity and fixed-fee economics both improve the predictability of our partner revenue and reduce our exposure to auction-based customer acquisition costs. We are also preparing to launch a new Home Loans comparison category through an affiliate partnership with a leading mortgage broker and comparison platform, allowing us to enter this vertical without taking on underwriting risk or balance-sheet exposure. In Taiwan, we launched a KOL pilot with a local bank during the quarter to test a more targeted, partner-led customer-acquisition model. In Hong Kong, we are broadening our online Life Insurance offering to include Critical Illness in the third quarter, as well as short-term savings, tax-deductible medical and personal accident products in the near future. Our substantial existing insurance traffic, particularly from travel insurance, provides a solid foundation for this expansion.

Technology Deep Dive: AI Transformation and Platform Efficiency

We continued to scale our AI transformation initiative this quarter, and the results are increasingly visible in our cost structure. Technology costs fell 50% year-over-year to US$0.5 million, reflecting continued platform consolidation and AI-driven automation of engineering and operational workflows.

Last quarter, we described AI as the engine of our engineering work. Today, we are delivering results. Built by a single engineer working with AI agents in under three months, against a conventional build that we estimate would have required a team of around ten for most of a year, our in-house Voucher Management System launched in Hong Kong, halving delivery times and eliminating third-party handling fees. We treat that comparison as directional rather than precise. We are also rolling out a fully AI-assisted conversational experience blending customer support and product discovery. Simultaneously, we are structuring our data so third-party GenAI platforms and next-generation search engines can cite MoneyHero directly, ensuring the application and ongoing member relationships remain securely with us.

The member experience is also transforming. We launched a rebuilt member dashboard on SingSaver in Singapore, soon expanding to Hong Kong, giving users a single place to track rewards. This ecosystem, including direct insurance renewals, will integrate seamlessly into our mobile apps to drive retention.

Finally, we are rebuilding remaining legacy internal systems. Because savings from each project fund the next, this requires no significant additional capital expenditure.

Financial and Operational Performance

Operationally, our structural efficiency gains continue to build momentum. Combined cost of revenue, advertising and marketing, technology, employee benefit, and general administrative and other operating expenses declined 12% year-over-year to US$18.2 million. Within this, cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue improved 3 percentage points year-over-year to 48%, reflecting increased adoption of cash rewards and higher-converting traffic. Operating discipline was further highlighted by a 50% year-over-year decline in technology costs, and a 12% year-over-year reduction in advertising and marketing expenses to US$4.0 million through more disciplined, data-driven campaign allocation. These savings balanced targeted investments in employee capabilities to support our higher-margin verticals and AI initiatives, with employee benefit expenses up 6% year-over-year to US$3.9 million. Notably, even as application volume moderated 30% year-over-year from our deliberate prioritization of higher-intent users, our approval rate improved 9 percentage points from the prior year period to 48%. As a result, approved applications declined by a much smaller 15%, alongside a strengthened yield in revenue per approved application, clear evidence that we are converting a smaller but higher-quality funnel more efficiently.

Our net loss was US$(1.2) million for the quarter, driven by foreign exchange. Excluding unrealized foreign exchange impacts, our Constant FX EBITDA loss narrowed 64% year-over-year to US$(0.9) million during the quarter and 14% year-over-year to US$(5.0) million for the first six months of 2026. Reflecting US$1.6 million of non-recurring legal and professional fees and other expenses that are added back in Adjusted EBITDA, this progress reinforces that our core operating trajectory continues to move in the right direction even where currency volatility adds noise to the reported bottom line.

Consistent with these operating improvements, our Adjusted EBITDA loss narrowed 17% year-over-year to US$(1.6) million during the quarter and 49% year-over-year to US$(2.7) million for the first six months of 2026, driven by cost of revenue efficiency, disciplined advertising and marketing spend, and continued structural operating leverage.

We ended the quarter with a healthy, debt-free balance sheet, with US$28.2 million in cash and cash equivalents and US$32.6 million in net current assets as at June 30, 2026. Our MoneyHero Group Members base also grew 17% year-over-year to 10.1 million. Together, this allows us to keep funding our organic growth roadmap while maintaining the cost discipline that has driven our Adjusted EBITDA improvement.

Looking ahead through the remainder of 2026, we remain focused on converting the structural efficiency gains we have built into full-year Adjusted EBITDA improvement. Our second-half product and commercial catalysts include the upcoming launch of the Home Loans comparison category in Singapore, the launch of our AI-assisted natural-language search bar, the planned launch of Critical Illness comparison products in Hong Kong during the third quarter, the rollout of the rebuilt member dashboard to Hong Kong, and the extension of our Voucher Management System to additional markets and voucher types.

These initiatives are designed to broaden our product mix, deepen member engagement, strengthen partner monetization and support the rebuilding of volume on a more profitable basis. We will continue to prioritize disciplined execution, talent retention, operational efficiency and the successful implementation of these strategic growth initiatives.”

Second Quarter 2026 Financial Highlights

  • Revenue was US$15.8 million, a 13% year-over-year decrease from US$18.0 million in the same period last year. This reflected the cash rewards shift described above, alongside lower volumes in Singapore and the Philippines. This was partially offset by resilient performance in Hong Kong, which remained the largest market at US$7.8 million, contributing 50% of total revenue; for the first six months of 2026, revenue held steady at US$32.3 million, flat year-over-year.
    • Combined revenue from higher-margin Wealth and Insurance products was US$4.7 million, expanding to account for 30% of total revenue compared to 27% in the same period last year.
  • Cost of revenue in the second quarter of 2026 decreased by 17% year-over-year to US$7.6 million from US$9.1 million and accounted for 48% of revenue, an improvement of 3 percentage points from 51% during the same period last year, reflecting the increased adoption of cash rewards alongside higher conversion efficiencies.
  • Combined cost of revenue, advertising and marketing, technology, employee benefit, and general administrative and other operating expenses decreased 12% year-over-year to US$18.2 million in the second quarter of 2026 from US$20.6 million in the prior year period, primarily driven by reduced advertising and marketing expenses and a 50% decrease in technology costs through technology stack optimization and AI-driven process automation.
  • Net loss was US$(1.2) million in the second quarter of 2026, compared to a net profit of US$0.2 million in the prior year period, primarily driven by net foreign exchange differences swinging from a US$3.0 million gain in the prior year period to a US$(0.1) million loss this quarter. Excluding unrealized foreign exchange impacts, Constant FX EBITDA loss narrowed 64% year-over-year from US$(2.6) million to US$(0.9) million in the second quarter and narrowed 14% year-over-year from US$(5.8) million to US$(5.0) million for the first six months of 2026, reflecting US$1.6 million of non-recurring legal and professional fees and other expenses that are added back in Adjusted EBITDA.
  • Adjusted EBITDA loss narrowed 17% year-over-year to US$(1.6) million in the second quarter of 2026 from US$(2.0) million in the prior year period, driven by cost of revenue efficiency, disciplined advertising and marketing spend, and continued structural operating leverage; for the first six months of 2026, Adjusted EBITDA loss narrowed 49% year-over-year to US$(2.7) million.

Second Quarter 2026 Operational Highlights

  • Cash Rewards provided to platform users reached US$5.1 million in the second quarter of 2026, a 77% increase from US$2.9 million in the prior year period, and US$9.2 million in the first six months of 2026, a 66% increase from US$5.6 million in the prior year period. Within the six-month total, Singapore represented US$7.3 million and Hong Kong represented US$1.9 million.
  • Monthly Unique Users averaged 3.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to 5.3 million in the prior year period. This anticipated moderation reflects a deliberate strategic shift—specifically, targeted reductions in low-intent paid acquisition alongside enhanced analytics filtering out automated traffic (effective April 1, 2026, and prior periods have not been recast, as set out in footnote 5). Importantly, this pivot drove strong audience yield expansion, with revenue per average monthly unique user surging 24% YoY.
  • MoneyHero Group Members grew by 17% year-over-year to 10.1 million as of June 30, 2026, expanding the scale of our registered user base to support broader market reach.
  • MoneyHero’s approval rate improved significantly by 9 p.p. to 48%, with approximately 148,000 approved applications out of 310,000 applications. Concurrently, we drove meaningful growth in revenue per approved application across both the second quarter and the first six months of 2026. This clear unit economic improvement perfectly reflects enhanced customer acquisition quality and our strategic shift toward higher-intent users.

Key Performance Metrics and Non-IFRS Financial Measures

“Monthly Unique User” means as a unique user with at least one session in a given month as determined by a unique device identifier from GA4. A session begins when a user opens an app in the foreground or views a page or screen while no other session is currently active (e.g., the prior session has ended). A session concludes after 30 minutes of user inactivity. To measure Monthly Unique Users over a period longer than one month, we calculate the average of the Monthly Unique Users for each month within that period. If an individual accesses a website or app from different devices within a given month, each device is counted as a separate unique user. However, if an individual logs in and accesses a website or app using the same login across different devices, they will only be counted as one unique user. This metric provides investors with insight into our market penetration and the breadth of our audience. Management uses this data to refine our content and product discovery tools, with the goal of increasing user loyalty and driving higher conversion rates from unique visitors into active product applicants.

“Traffic” means the total number of unique sessions in GA4. A unique session is a group of user interactions recorded when a user accesses a website or app within a 30-minute window. The current session concludes when there is 30 minutes of inactivity or users have a change in traffic source. Traffic is a key indicator for investors of the overall engagement volume and frequency of use of our platforms. Management utilizes this metric to analyze the efficiency of our acquisition funnel and to optimize our marketing spend toward high-ROI organic and paid channels that deliver users with the highest intent to transact.

“MoneyHero Group Members” means (i) users who have login IDs with us in Singapore, Hong Kong and Taiwan, (ii) users who subscribe to our email distributions in Singapore, Hong Kong, Taiwan and the Philippines, and (iii) users who are registered in our rewards database in Singapore and Hong Kong. Any duplications across the three sources above are deduplicated. This metric is useful to investors as it identifies our core base of registered users who have established a direct relationship with our platforms. Management uses this data to evaluate the scale of our market reach and to improve our AI-driven personalization. By understanding member behavior, we can provide more accurate financial recommendations, which encourages repeat use of our services and increases the long-term value of each user relationship.

“Clicks” means the sum of unique clicks by product item on a tagged “Apply Now”, “Express Buy”, “Buy” or similar button on our website, including product result pages and blogs. We track Clicks to understand how our users engage with our platforms prior to application submission or purchase, which enables us to further optimize conversion rates.

“Applications” means the total number of product applications submitted by users and confirmed by our commercial partners. Management uses this metric to assess the conversion efficiency of our platforms and the effectiveness of our marketing strategies in driving users toward the final stages of the transaction funnel.

“Approved Applications” means the number of applications that have been approved and confirmed by our commercial partners. Management utilizes this data to evaluate the quality and success rate of applications facilitated through our platforms, which is critical to our success-based fee model and our ability to align user demand with our commercial partners’ underwriting standards.

“Approval Rates” means the total number of Approved Applications divided by the total number of Applications during the respective periods presented. Management uses this metric to track our overall conversion success ratio.

“Cash Rewards” represents the total monetary value of cash discounts and rebates provided to platform users that are accounted for as deductions from revenue in accordance with IFRS 15. Platform users can generally elect for a cash discount/rebate or a physical reward. In the event they elect for a physical reward, the amount is recognized as revenue and cost of revenue. The amount of Cash Rewards varies over time depending on user preferences, and this metric provides investors with visibility into total platform volume and consumer reward preferences. Management utilizes this metric to track user acquisition dynamics, evaluate reward mechanics, and assess overall business scale alongside reported revenue.

In addition to MoneyHero Group’s results determined in accordance with IFRS, MoneyHero Group believes that the key performance metrics above and the non-IFRS measures below are useful in evaluating its operating performance. MoneyHero Group uses these measures to evaluate ongoing operations and for internal planning and forecasting purposes. MoneyHero Group believes that non-IFRS information may be helpful to investors because it provides consistency and comparability with past financial performance and may assist in comparisons with other companies to the extent that such other companies use similar non-IFRS measures to supplement their IFRS results. These non-IFRS measures are presented for supplemental informational purposes only and should not be considered a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with IFRS and may be different from similarly titled non-IFRS measures used by other companies. Accordingly, non-IFRS measures have limitations as analytical tools, and should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of other IFRS financial measures, such as profit/(loss) for the period and profit/(loss) before income tax.

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-IFRS financial measure defined as (loss)/profit for the period plus income tax expense, depreciation and amortization and finance costs, less interest income, and further adjusted for unrealized foreign exchange loss/(gain), changes in fair value of financial instruments, impairment of other assets, equity settled share-based payment expenses and non-recurring legal and professional fees and other expenses. For further details on the components of these adjustments and why management believes this non-IFRS measure provides useful supplemental information to investors, please see our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2025.

Constant FX EBITDA is a non-IFRS financial measure defined as EBITDA adjusted to exclude unrealized foreign exchange loss/(gain). Management uses Constant FX EBITDA to evaluate ongoing operational performance, assess underlying business trends, and conduct internal planning and forecasting by eliminating unrealized foreign exchange remeasurement volatility. Management believes this measure is useful to investors because it provides a clearer, normalized view of the core operating trajectory and period-over-period performance unaffected by foreign exchange rate fluctuations.

EBITDA is a non-IFRS financial measure defined as (loss)/profit for the period plus income tax expense, depreciation and amortization and finance costs, less interest income.

A reconciliation is provided for each non-IFRS measure to the most directly comparable financial measure stated in accordance with IFRS. Investors are encouraged to review the related IFRS financial measures and the reconciliations of these non-IFRS measures to their most directly comparable IFRS financial measures. IFRS differs from U.S. GAAP in certain material respects and thus may not be comparable to financial information presented by U.S. companies. We currently, and will continue to, report financial results under IFRS, which differs in certain significant respects from U.S. GAAP.

Liberty Global Tech Ventures Invests in AI Inference Hardware and Software Company, Positron AI

  • Positron AI develops hardware and software for memory-first AI inference systems
  • Positron joins growing portfolio of AI firms that Liberty Global has backed including Higgsfield, XBOW, Legora and ElevenLabs

PALO ALTO, Calif., Sept. 11, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Liberty Global Tech Ventures, the technology investment arm of Liberty Global, today announced an investment in Positron AI, a leader in hardware and software for memory-first AI inference systems.

Liberty Global joins a select group of investors in the oversubscribed $875 million funding round, which values the company at $5 billion. The round was co-led by NEA, Valor Equity Partners, Atreides Management, Andra Capital, Dylan Patel’s SemiAnalysis Capital and Jim Clark. Liberty Global’s selection reflects the strategic value it brings through its global technology footprint and experience scaling digital platforms.

Founded in 2023, Positron develops hardware and software designed specifically for AI inference, the stage at which trained AI models process and generate outputs. Its memory-first architecture is designed to lower total cost of ownership and process requests faster by addressing the memory bottlenecks that constrain AI inference.

Positron’s memory-first inference systems use LPDDR5X memory, avoiding constrained HBM and CoWoS supply chains, while achieving more than 90% memory bandwidth utilization. Its Atlas systems can be installed in existing data center architecture without changes to cooling systems.

Bobbie Maltiel, Partner at Liberty Global Tech Ventures, said: “While AI is being adopted by consumers and enterprises at a phenomenal rate, the ability to deliver token usage at the lowest possible cost is key to the full benefits being delivered for society. The Positron team have a relentless focus on this and we are delighted to be joining them on their mission to deliver high-speed AI at the lowest possible cost to businesses and consumers.”

The market for inference compute, the computing power needed to run AI models rather than train them, is expected to be worth $1.3tn by 2032 driven by hyperscaler demand*. Positron already counts Oracle, Jump Trading and Parasail among its customers.

Its next-generation custom silicon, Asimov, tapes out in late 2026 with production in the second half of 2027. Asimov powers Titan, a multi-terabyte-memory inference system for long-context and next-generation AI workloads.

Liberty Global Tech Ventures invests in category-defining AI and technology businesses and Positron joins firms like ElevenLabs, XBOW, Legora and Higgsfield in selecting Liberty Global as a strategic investor.

*Generative AI Market Poised to Reach $2.3 Trillion by 2032 as Agentic Systems Proliferate and Infrastructure Demand Surges, according to Bloomberg Intelligence | Press | Bloomberg LP

ABOUT LIBERTY GLOBAL

Liberty Global Ltd. (Nasdaq: LBTYA, LBTYB, LBTYK) delivers long-term shareholder value through the strategic management of two complementary platforms: Liberty Telecom and Liberty Growth.

Liberty Telecom is a world leader in converged broadband, video and mobile communications, providing approximately 80 million fixed and mobile connections across Europe through advanced fiber and 5G networks that empower customers and strengthen national economies. The business generates aggregate revenue of $22 billion, including approximately $18 billion from nonconsolidated joint ventures and $4 billion from consolidated operations.

Liberty Growth invests in scalable businesses across the technology, media, sports and infrastructure sectors, with a portfolio of roughly 70 companies and funds valued at $3.4billion.*

Together, these platforms reflect Liberty Global’s focus on operating, enabling and investing in businesses with strong strategic fit and the potential to deliver sustainable long-term returns.

Accelevate Solutions and Brand Engagement Network Launch AI-Powered Passenger Engagement Platform for LAX Off-Airport Shuttle Providers

PR Newswire

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Accelevate Solutions and Brand Engagement Network, Inc. (“BEN”) (Nasdaq: BNAI) today announced the launch of a live AI-powered passenger engagement platform for off-airport parking and shuttle services at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX). The platform introduces a real-time media and engagement layer that connects riders, operators, and brands.

Passengers can view routes, live vehicle locations, and estimated arrival times directly in the mobile experience. The BEN AI engagement layer is now live, with promotional and static advertising available immediately. Live paid advertising is expected to begin in Q4 2026.

The platform combines Accelevate Solutions’ MobilityConnect™ fleet and audience-intelligence capabilities with BEN’s AI engagement technology, delivered through the Mydas enterprise media platform. Connected-vehicle data, including data from Xirgo Technologies, powers the vehicle layer. Together, the solution enables transportation and transit operators to convert existing connected assets into a real-time engagement channel and, once advertising inventory is sold, a new revenue stream.

LIVE VEHICLE INTELLIGENCE • PASSENGER ENGAGEMENT • CONTEXTUAL MEDIA • MEASURABLE DELIVERY

For passengers, the experience delivers route visibility, real-time vehicle context, and AI-enabled engagement through a mobile client – no app download required and no added friction. Riders stay informed and engaged throughout their journey.

For operators, MobilityConnect adds a digital engagement layer to existing transportation services without replacing core fleet systems.

For brands, it creates a measurable channel grounded in real-world mobility context rather than disconnected digital impressions, helping deepen passenger engagement while supporting brand trust, loyalty, and repeat business.

Management Commentary

“We believe this is a transformational moment for transit operators,” said James Maury, President and Co-Founder of Accelevate Solutions. “With AI-powered rider and location intelligence, operators can turn assets already in motion into real-time engagement and media channels – improving the passenger experience while opening new revenue opportunities. Combining our fleet and rider intelligence, real-time mobile engagement client, and our partner’s automated cloud media stack will enable rapid adoption through Q1 2027.

MobilityConnect gives passengers live vehicle locations and estimated arrival times while providing operators with a new engagement channel on assets already in service. Paid campaigns are not yet live; the media layer is currently enabled with static loyalty promotions, and new advertising inventory can be sold from this point forward.”

“Our partnership with Accelevate reflects our continued execution to scale our joint AI capabilities,” said Tyler Luck, Chief Executive Officer of Brand Engagement Network. “BEN remains fully committed to supporting Accelevate’s airport expansion across the United States and into public-sector opportunities in Latin America.”

Ownership

BEN holds a minority interest in Accelevate. Following the Company’s previously disclosed $1 million strategic investment and related warrant arrangements, BEN’s ownership is expected to be approximately 20%. Accelevate is not consolidated under U.S. GAAP, and Accelevate revenue is not recognized as BEN revenue.

Hooker Furnishings Reports Profitable Quarter and First Half

MARTINSVILLE, Va., Sept. 11, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Hooker Furnishings Corporation (NASDAQ-GS: HOFT) (“Hooker” or the “Company”), a global leader in home furnishings, today reported its operating results for its fiscal 2027 second quarter ended August 2, 2026.


Key Results for the Fiscal 2027 Second Quarter and First Half:

  • Significant adverse impact of tariffs in the prior year.  In February 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court (SCOTUS) ruled that certain tariffs imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) were not authorized by statute. In March 2026, the U.S. Court of International Trade directed U.S. Customs and Border Protection to implement a refund process for previously collected duties. Prior to the U.S. Supreme Court’s February 2026 decision invalidating the IEEPA tariffs, the Company incurred an estimated $10.3 million of cumulative pre-tax costs related to tariffs in fiscal year 2026, which had a significant adverse impact on the fiscal 2026 results, and significantly exceeded the tariff recoveries the Company is reporting today. 
  • Factors contributing to the prior-year tariff impact. Following the imposition of IEEPA tariffs beginning in April 2025, the Company elected to honor pricing on its existing customer backlog and, for competitive and administrative reasons, did not immediately adjust pricing on certain other products. 
  • Net sales remained under pressure. Consolidated net sales decreased by $6.0 million, or 8.7%, in the second quarter and $7.7 million, or 5.5%, in the first six months. 
  • Tariff recoveries. The Company received $7.9 million in tariff recoveries during the quarter. Of this amount, continuing operations recognized approximately $4.3 million as a reduction of cost of sales and $0.2 million of related interest income, partially offset by approximately $0.5 million of customer credits recorded as a reduction of revenue. Discontinued operations recognized approximately $1.0 million of net pre-tax benefit. Approximately $1.8 million of the tariff recoveries had not yet impacted cost of sales and was recorded as a reduction in inventory carrying values at quarter end. The Company does not expect to receive material additional tariff recoveries.
  • Hooker Branded sales reflected lower volume and higher promotional discounts. Hooker Branded net sales declined 4.5% in the second quarter and 4.6% in the first six months, as lower unit volume and higher promotional discounts more than offset higher average selling prices.
  • Domestic Upholstery benefited from growth in private-label and outdoor furnishings. Gross margin increased by 450 basis points in the second quarter and 180 basis points in the first six months, supported by tariff recoveries on imported materials, lower imported-material costs, and improved overhead absorption.
  • All Other results reflected softer hospitality industry demand and timing of  project activity. Despite a second-quarter operating loss driven by lower shipments, the business was profitable for the first six months, with approximately 80% of first-half shipments occurring in the first quarter.
  • Maintaining S&A discipline. Second quarter and year-to-date S&A reflect the sustained benefit of more than $17.5 million in annualized cost reductions implemented across our continuing operations in prior fiscal years. Higher expenses in Hooker Branded were primarily driven by certain administrative costs retained following the Home Meridian segment divestiture, partially offset by benefits from previously implemented cost-reduction and consolidation actions in Domestic Upholstery and All Other.
  • Continued operating profitability. Operating income was $1.3 million for the second quarter and $2.9 million for the first six months, compared with operating losses of $0.5 million and $1.0 million, respectively, in the prior-year periods.
  • Backlog strengthened sequentially and year over year. Consolidated backlog increased by 6.2% from the prior-year second-quarter end and by 8.4% from the end of the first quarter, led by Hooker Branded and  Domestic Upholstery, reflecting improved order momentum across key businesses.


Executive Commentary

“The significant costs we incurred due to the IEEPA tariffs significantly and adversely affected our prior-year results, and we are grateful to have recovered some of those costs in our fiscal 2027 second quarter,” said Jeremy Hoff, Chief Executive Officer. “The substantial administrative burden these tariffs placed on our team over many months cannot be recovered. In addition to the tariffs paid, we incurred incremental costs associated with the IEEPA tariffs, including increased customs bond costs, legal and professional fees, financing and working-capital costs, and other administrative and supply-chain-related expenses.

Although we do not believe that the tariff recoveries make us whole for the significant costs incurred by us in fiscal 2026, I am grateful to the Hooker team for their persistence and extraordinary effort in navigating an unprecedented and highly complex environment and ultimately securing these recoveries for our shareholders. We are also deeply appreciative of the commitment and partnership of our suppliers and customers as we navigated this period of extraordinary uncertainty for our industry.”

“Our quarterly results benefited from tariff recoveries received during the quarter, as well as the sustained impact of approximately $17.5 million annualized fixed cost reductions implemented across our continuing operations in the prior year.” 

“We are encouraged to report $1.7 million in consolidated net income for the quarter, marking our third consecutive quarter of profitability and a $4.9 million improvement over the prior-year second quarter,” he continued. “These results were achieved despite a challenging demand environment characterized by continued weakness in housing activity, low consumer confidence and lower seasonal demand we typically experience in the first half of our fiscal year.” 

“In addition to tariff recoveries, Hooker Branded profitability was impacted by shifts in channel and sales mix dynamics during the quarter. Seasonally softer summer shipments to brick-and-mortar retailers resulted in a greater mix of e-commerce sales, along with targeted promotional activity designed to support consumer engagement. The combination of channel mix and elevated promotional activity pressured margins during the quarter. We expect promotional activity to normalize during the second half of the fiscal year. Domestic Upholstery’s performance was driven by tariff recoveries and operational efficiencies implemented last fiscal year,” he continued. “Looking forward, retailer commitments to Margaritaville products, galleries, and free-standing stores continue to exceed our expectations. Shipments began in late Q2 and are expected to scale over the second half of fiscal 2027 and into fiscal 2028. Importantly, our fiscal July results, absent any tariff recoveries, showed significant improvement over prior year. We believe that positive momentum will continue into the second half of the fiscal year,” Hoff concluded.


Segment Reporting

Hooker Branded

Net sales decreased by $1.6 million, or 4.5%, in the second quarter and $3.4 million, or 4.6%, in the first six months, reflecting lower unit volume, higher promotional discounts, and key SKU out-of-stocks, due to significantly longer lead times out of Asia, partially offset by higher average selling prices. Gross profit increased by $3.2 million and $6.0 million, while gross margin expanded by 1,050 and 1,000 basis points, respectively, primarily due to tariff recoveries and higher selling prices. Inventory constraints in imported upholstery that began in the first quarter had largely eased by second quarter-end. The segment reported operating income of $870,000 in the second quarter and $2.1 million in the first six months, compared with approximately breakeven results in both corresponding prior-year periods. Backlog increased by 34.7% compared with the end of the prior-year second quarter.

Domestic Upholstery

Net sales decreased by $1.5 million, or 5.3%, in the second quarter and $2.1 million, or 3.6%, in the first six months, as lower sales of upscale leather and custom fabric upholstery were partially offset by double-digit growth in private-label and outdoor furnishings. Gross profit increased by $928,000 and $613,000, while gross margin improved by 450 and 180 basis points, respectively, supported by tariff recoveries on imported materials, lower imported-material costs, and improved overhead absorption. The segment reported second-quarter operating income of $833,000, compared with an operating loss of $408,000 in the prior-year period, and backlog increased by 4.8% compared with the end of the prior-year second quarter.

All Other
Hospitality business net sales decreased by $2.8 million, or 65.8%, in the second quarter and $2.2 million, or 23.5%, in the first six months, primarily due to project timing, with approximately 80% of first-half shipments occurring during the first quarter. Lower second-quarter shipments resulted in an operating loss for the quarter; however, the business remained profitable for the first six months.

Discontinued Operations

Although the Home Meridian divestiture was completed in the prior fiscal year, discontinued operations generated pre-tax income of $587,000 in the second quarter, reflecting tariff recoveries, customer-related adjustments and other post-divestiture activity.


Cash, Debt, and Inventory

Cash and cash equivalents increased to $18.7 million at the end of the second quarter, with no outstanding term loan balance, compared to $10.6 million at the end of the first quarter and $1.1 million at fiscal 2026 year-end, primarily reflecting tariff refund proceeds and accounts receivable collections. $24.0 million in cash generated from operations was used to repay $3.6 million of principal amount of outstanding loans, distribute $2.5 million in cash dividends, provide $1.3 million for share repurchases under the previously authorized $5 million share repurchase program, and fund $1.1 million in capital expenditures. Inventory levels decreased by $5.3 million from $48.7 million at year-end to $43.4 million at current quarter-end.

Despite these outflows, the Company maintained its financial flexibility with $51.8 million in available borrowing capacity under its Amended and Restated Loan Agreement as of fiscal quarter-end, net of standby letters of credit, and no outstanding balance on the credit facility.


Capital Allocation

“In late fiscal 2026, we announced that our Board authorized a new $5 million share repurchase program,” said Earl Armstrong, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. “Through the fiscal 2027 second quarter, we have repurchased 92,357 shares of our common shares at an average price of $13.68 per share, with approximately $3.7 million remaining available for future purchases under the authorization.”

“As we position the Company for sustainable growth, the new share repurchase program and adjusted dividend provide a balanced framework for returning capital to shareholders while preserving flexibility to invest in strategic priorities,” said Armstrong. “We believe this approach supports both near-term returns and long-term shareholder value,” he concluded.


Outlook

“Consumer spending is selective and housing turnover and big-ticket discretionary demand remain weak. The Department of Commerce’s July advance monthly estimates showed retail sales for furniture and home furnishings stores were essentially flat sequentially from June and down 1.2% year-over-year. Existing home sales declined 1.7% month over month to a 4.1 million annualized rate, remaining at historically low levels. Additionally, consumer sentiment fell 6.3% in August and headline CPI remains elevated at 3.4%, although core inflation eased to 2.5%. All of these factors, not to mention increased financing costs, directly pressure discretionary purchasing power. Additionally, we continue to monitor tariff developments.”

“Looking to the second half of fiscal 2027, we do not expect meaningful near-term improvement in market conditions. At the same time, the changes we have made to our cost structure and portfolio are delivering tangible benefits, and we believe they position us to deliver improved results compared with the prior-year period, even if current conditions persist,” he continued.

“With the cost cutting efforts behind us, our focus is on disciplined execution across our core businesses and converting improving order momentum into sales. The actions taken over the past 18 to 24 months have created a leaner, more disciplined operating model that we believe can deliver stronger and more consistent earnings over time.”

“We are also encouraged by the continued retailer response to Margaritaville, with commitments to approximately 100 in-store galleries and 10 free-standing retail stores to date, roughly double the level reported in December. Shipments began in the second quarter and are expected to build through the second half of fiscal 2027 and into fiscal 2028. Combined with continued momentum in incoming orders across our core businesses, we believe we are well positioned to capitalize on opportunities as demand recovers,” Hoff concluded.

(2) general economic or business conditions, both domestically and internationally, including the current macroeconomic uncertainties and challenges to the retail environment for home furnishings along with instability in the financial and credit markets, in part due to elevated interest rates and housing market volatility, which can affect consumer spending patterns, existing home sales, and demand for home furnishings, including their potential impact on (i) our sales and operating costs and access to financing, (ii) our customers, and (iii) our suppliers and their ability to obtain financing or generate the cash necessary to conduct their respective businesses; (3) the impairment of our long-lived assets, which can result in reduced earnings and net worth; (4) the cyclical nature of the furniture industry, which is particularly sensitive to changes in consumer confidence, the amount of consumers’ income available for discretionary purchases, and the availability and terms of consumer credit; (5) achieving and managing growth and change, and the risks associated with new business lines including the Margaritaville launch occurring in the second half of fiscal 2027, and inherent risks associated with possible acquisitions, including the selection of suitable acquisition targets, restructurings, strategic alliances and international operations;

(8) interruption, inadequacy, security breaches or integration failure of our information systems or information technology infrastructure, related service providers or the internet or other related issues including unauthorized disclosures of confidential information, hacking or other cybersecurity threats or inadequate levels of cyber insurance or risks not covered by cyber insurance; (9) difficulties in forecasting demand for our imported products and raw materials used in our domestic operations; (10) our inability to collect amounts owed to us or significant delays in collecting such amounts; (11) the risks associated with our Amended and Restated Loan Agreement, including the fact that our asset-based lending facility is secured by substantially all of our assets and contains provisions which limit the amount of our future borrowings under the facility, as well as financial and negative covenants that, among other things, may limit our ability to incur additional indebtedness; (12) risks associated with domestic manufacturing operations, including fluctuations in capacity utilization and the prices and availability of key raw materials, as well as changes in transportation, warehousing and domestic labor costs, availability of skilled labor, and environmental compliance and remediation costs; (13) risks associated with our self-insured healthcare and workers compensation plans, which utilize stop-loss insurance for aggregate claims above specified thresholds and can be impacted by higher healthcare inflation and expenditures, all of which may cause our healthcare and workers compensation costs to rise unexpectedly, adversely affecting our earnings, financial condition, and liquidity; (14) disruptions and damage (including those due to weather) affecting our Virginia or North Carolina warehouses, our Virginia, North Carolina or California administrative and manufacturing facilities, our High Point, Las Vegas, and Atlanta showrooms or our representative office or warehouse in Vietnam;

(18) risks associated with distribution through third-party retailers, such as non-binding dealership arrangements; (19) changes in domestic and international monetary policies and fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates affecting the price of our imported products and raw materials; (20) price competition in the furniture industry; (21) changes in consumer preferences, including increased demand for lower-priced furniture, especially in light of recently imposed tariffs on imported furniture; (22) the risks specifically related to the concentrations of a material part of our sales and accounts receivable in only a few customers, including the loss of several large customers through business consolidations, failures or other reasons, or the loss of significant sales programs with major customers; (23) decisions concerning the allocation of capital including the extent to which we repurchase shares of our common stock which will affect shares outstanding and earnings per share (EPS); (24) future actions by activist stockholders that could divert management attention, create uncertainty around our strategic direction, disrupt relationships with key shareholders, increase our costs, drive stock price volatility, and otherwise materially impact our business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows; and (25) other risks and uncertainties described under Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 1, 2026 and other filings with the SEC.

About [²¹²Pb]VMT-α-NET

Perspective designed [212Pb]VMT-α-NET to target somatostatin receptor subtype 2 (SSTR2), and to deliver the alpha-emitting radioisotope lead-212, or ²¹²Pb, to tumor sites expressing SSTR2. The Company is conducting a multi-center, open-label, dose-escalation and dose-expansion study (clinicaltrials.gov identifier NCT05636618) of [212Pb]VMT-α-NET in patients with unresectable or metastatic SSTR2-positive tumors who have not received prior radiopharmaceutical therapies (RPT).

Interim clinical data from the study, with a data cut-off date of April 17, 2026, were presented at the 2026 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting in May 2026. These data included efficacy results for half of the patients in Cohort 2 and both patients in Cohort 1.

The VinFast VF 8 Could Be the Right Next Step From Your Sedan

The VinFast VF 8 Could Be the Right Next Step From Your Sedan

More space, more technology and the ability to handle both work and family life are making the VinFast VF 8 an appealing choice for those looking to upgrade from a sedan to an SUV.

MARKHAM, Ontario–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
A sedan can also be perfectly practical when it’s just you, your partner and maybe a few bags for a weekend away.

But when a kid or two enters the picture, the sedan-shaped vehicle tends to show its shortcomings. Each time the whole family goes on a trip, you’ll find the cabin quickly filling up with luggage, a stroller and a plethora of unnamed, but no doubt necessary, items. After a while, the joy of traveling with loved ones can give way to a game of luggage Tetris that really test both your patience and sanity.

That’s when it might be time to move up to an SUV, perhaps even an electric one like the mid-size VinFast VF 8. At 4,750 mm long with a 2,950 mm wheelbase, it has the space that you will definitely appreciate after years with a sedan. It offers plenty of room for five adults, while the SUV body makes it easier to accommodate everything from luggage and strollers to camping equipment and sports gear.

The extra cabin space is useful for passengers too, with more room to stretch your legs or lean back and relax in the second row. Longer family drives can be a lot more comfortable, especially when everyone has winter coats and other cold-weather gear taking up extra space.

But space is not the only reason that makes this all-electric mid-size SUV worth considering.

Plenty of power, plus all-wheel drive

Unlike some SUVs that are all about practicality and little else, the VF 8 brings some serious performance to the table.

The Canadian-market VF 8 comes with dual-motor all-wheel drive, with the Eco producing 349 hp and the Plus making up to 402 hp. The Plus can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in as little as 5.5 seconds, giving you plenty of power when merging onto the highway, overtaking slower traffic or climbing a steep road.

The all-wheel-drive setup is another useful advantage for Canadian drivers. From wet roads to snowy commutes, having power sent to all four wheels can provide added confidence when road conditions are less than ideal.

Then there is the electric powertrain itself. The instant response of an EV makes the VF 8 feel quick and effortless around town, while the combination of power and AWD gives it enough capability for longer highway trips and weekend getaways.

The Canadian VF 8 uses an 87.7-kWh usable battery and offers up to 412 km of range on a full charge. DC fast charging can take the battery from 10% to 70% in under 31 minutes under specified conditions. Actual range will vary with temperature, road conditions, driving style and use of heating or air conditioning, which is particularly relevant during Canada’s colder months.

Technology and comfort for everyday driving

It is not a one-trick pony, though, as both the driver and passengers get plenty to appreciate inside the VF 8.

There is a large 15.6-inch central touchscreen that puts many of the vehicle’s functions within easy reach, along with a head-up display, heated front seats and a heated steering wheel. The latter two can sound like luxuries until you experience them on a freezing Canadian winter morning, after which they can quickly become part of your daily routine.

The Plus version adds ventilated front seats, bringing another useful comfort feature when temperatures rise in summer.

While some SUVs can make you stretch your budget just to get the features you actually want, the VinFast VF 8 packs plenty into the package, making it a compelling choice if you want to move up without giving up value.

It offers the space a modern family needs for both passengers and cargo, along with a comfortable, technology-packed cabin and the performance of dual-motor all-wheel drive. Add the benefits of going electric and a long 10-year/200,000-km warranty for added peace of mind, and the VF 8 makes a strong case as an everyday family SUV. If your sedan is starting to feel a little too small for your growing family, the VF 8 might just be the upgrade worth considering.

INV Class Alert: Innventure Securities Fraud Class Action to Recover Losses is Pending – Investors Notified to Contact BFA Law before October 27 Court Deadline

Innventure has been sued for securities fraud after its stock plummeted 55% because Innventure allegedly misrepresented the strength and viability of Accelsius’ alleged DarkNX data center deal

NEW YORK, Sept. 11, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Leading securities law firm Bleichmar Fonti & Auld LLP announces that a class action lawsuit has been filed against Innventure, Inc. (NASDAQ:INV) and certain of the company’s senior executives for securities fraud after significant stock drops resulting from potential violations of the federal securities laws.

If you invested in Innventure, you are encouraged to obtain additional information by visiting: https://www.bfalaw.com/cases/innventure-class-action-lawsuit.

Key Details of the Innventure ($INV) Class Action:

  • Lead Plaintiff Deadline: October 27, 2026
  • Alleged Misconduct: Securities fraud alleging Innventure misrepresented the strength and viability of Accelsius’ alleged DarkNX data center deal
  • Largest Alleged Stock Drop: August 14, 2026 – 55% Stock Drop
  • Court: U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York
  • Action: Contact BFA Law to discuss your rights

Investors have until October 27, 2026 to ask the Court to be appointed to lead the case. The complaint asserts securities fraud claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 on behalf of investors in Innventure securities. The class action is pending in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. It is captioned Labed v. Innventure, Inc. et al., No. 26-cv-07377.

Why is Innventure Being Sued for Securities Fraud?

Innventure is an industrial technology commercialization company. Its key subsidiary, Accelsius, develops and commercializes direct-to-chip liquid cooling technology for data centers and high-performance computing environments.

According to the complaint, Innventure repeatedly highlighted Accelsius’ agreement with DarkNX to deploy Accelsius’ NeuCool technology across a new 300MW AI data center campus in Ontario, Canada. Innventure allegedly described the deal as a major commercial milestone, projected Accelsius to be cash flow positive by year-end 2026, and used the DarkNX agreement to support expectations for substantial revenue growth.

As alleged, Defendants failed to disclose that the DarkNX deal was unlikely to materialize because there was no evidence that DarkNX was constructing or facilitating a large-scale AI data center.

Why did Innventure’s Stock Drop?

On May 28, 2026, before the market opened, Morpheus Research published a report alleging that Innventure’s DarkNX data center venture was fabricated. The report stated that there was “zero evidence” the project existed or that DarkNX had the team or funding to pursue it, and quoted former employees who questioned whether DarkNX had customers, a data center, or the ability to complete the announced project.

On this news, Innventure’s stock dropped $0.54 per share, or 8.42%, from a closing price of $6.41 per share on May 27, 2026, to $5.87 per share on May 28, 2026.

Then, on August 13, 2026, after the market closed, Innventure suspended its previously communicated 2026 revenue and cash flow targets for Accelsius, and disclosed that Accelsius had removed the DarkNX project from internal bookings because the identified deployment site was no longer available.

On this news, Innventure’s stock dropped $1.98 per share, or 55%, from a closing price of $3.60 per share on August 13, 2026, to $1.62 per share on August 14, 2026.

YSS Class Alert: York Space Systems Securities Fraud Class Action to Recover Losses is Pending – Investors Notified to Contact BFA Law before October 30 Court Deadline

York Space Systems has been sued for securities violations after its stock dropped 10.9% because York Space Systems allegedly misrepresented the capabilities of its satellite software

NEW YORK, Sept. 11, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Leading securities law firm Bleichmar Fonti & Auld LLP announces that a class action lawsuit has been filed against York Space Systems Inc. (NYSE:YSS) and certain of the company’s senior executives for securities violations after a significant stock drop resulting from potential violations of the federal securities laws.

If you invested in York Space Systems, you are encouraged to obtain additional information by visiting: https://www.bfalaw.com/cases/york-space-systems-class-action-lawsuit.

Key Details of the York Space Systems ($YSS) Class Action:

  • Lead Plaintiff Deadline: October 30, 2026
  • Alleged Misconduct: Securities violations alleging York Space Systems misrepresented the capabilities of its satellite software
  • Largest Alleged Stock Drop: May 11, 2026 – 10.9% Stock Drop
  • Court: U.S. District Court for the District of Colorado
  • Action: Contact BFA Law to discuss your rights

Investors have until October 30, 2026 to ask the Court to be appointed to lead the case. The complaint asserts claims under Sections 11 and 15 of the Securities Act of 1933 and Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 on behalf of investors who purchased or otherwise acquired York Space Systems common stock pursuant and/or traceable to the Company’s January 2026 IPO and/or York Space Systems securities during the Class Period. The class action is pending in the U.S. District Court for the District of Colorado. It is captioned Ianelli v. York Space Systems Inc. et al., No. 1:26-cv-04074.

Why is York Space Systems Being Sued for Securities Violations?

York Space Systems operates as a space and defense provider that primarily sells satellites and satellite-related services. According to the complaint, 96% of York Space Systems’ fiscal 2025 revenue was derived from projects contracted by the U.S. Federal Government under the Pentagon’s Space Development Agency, with most of those projects under the SDA’s Transport Layer program.

According to the complaint, York Space Systems touted the Company’s successful launches with the SDA, its incumbent position leading into future Transport Layer tranches, and its proprietary satellite software.

As alleged, Defendants overstated the capabilities of York Space Systems’ satellite software.

Why did York Space Systems’ Stock Drop?

On May 11, 2026, Wolfpack Research published a report stating that former employees of York Space Systems claimed the company sent satellites into space without knowing whether the software was fit to accomplish its basic mission. The report further stated that York Space Systems’ satellites did not function as expected because the company did not finish developing the software before launch and instead waited until the satellites were in orbit to debug them.

On this news, York Space Systems’ stock price dropped $3.91 per share, or 10.9%, from a closing price of $35.88 per share on May 11, 2026, to $31.97 per share on May 12, 2026.

UWMC Class Alert: UWM Holdings Securities Fraud Class Action to Recover Losses is Pending – Investors Notified to Contact BFA Law before October 13 Court Deadline

UWM has been sued for securities fraud after its stock plummeted 34.78% because UWM allegedly misrepresented its mortgage servicing rights hedging strategy and the risks created by hedging connected to the Two Harbors transaction

NEW YORK, Sept. 11, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Leading securities law firm Bleichmar Fonti & Auld LLP announces that a class action lawsuit has been filed against UWM Holdings Corporation (NYSE:UWMC) and certain of the company’s senior executives for securities fraud after its significant stock drop resulting from potential violations of the federal securities laws.

If you invested in UWM, you are encouraged to obtain additional information by visiting: https://www.bfalaw.com/cases/uwm-holdings-class-action-lawsuit.

Key Details of the UWM ($UWMC) Class Action:

  • Lead Plaintiff Deadline: October 13, 2026
  • Alleged Misconduct: Securities fraud alleging that UWM misrepresented its mortgage servicing rights hedging strategy and the risks created by hedging connected to the Two Harbors transaction
  • Stock Drop: August 6, 2026 – 34.78% Stock Drop
  • Court: U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan
  • Action: Contact BFA Law to discuss your rights

Investors have until October 13, 2026 to ask the Court to be appointed to lead the case. The complaint asserts securities fraud claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 on behalf of investors in UWM securities. The class action is pending in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan. It is captioned Bond v. UWM Holdings Corporation et al., No. 26-cv-12862.

Why is UWM Being Sued for Securities Fraud?

UWM originates, sells, and services residential mortgage loans in the United States. In December 2025, UWM and Two Harbors Investment Corp., owner of RoundPoint Mortgage Servicing, signed an all-stock merger agreement valued at $1.3 billion.

According to the complaint, in March 2026, Two Harbors terminated the UWM agreement after CrossCountry Mortgage made a competing cash offer and agreed to pay UWM’s termination fee.

As alleged, UWM failed to disclose that it had deviated from its traditional strategy of not hedging its mortgage servicing rights by taking a major hedge position, that it over-hedged itself in anticipation of the Two Harbors transaction, and that its purported efforts to balance risk created excess hedging risk.

Why did UWM’s Stock Drop?

On August 5, 2026, after the market closed, UWM reported Q2 2026 financial results, including a $603.2 million interest rate derivatives loss which contributed to a $451.9 million second-quarter net loss. Total equity also fell 43.6% year over year, reflecting the net loss and derivative-related charges.

Then, on August 6, 2026, UWM disclosed that it “over-hedged” while protecting against the Two Harbors transaction and stated that UWM does not traditionally hedge its mortgage servicing rights. UWM further disclosed that when it was acquiring Two Harbors and a large mortgage servicing rights book, “it created a little more risk,” that UWM “did put a hedge on to protect against that risk,” and that “the Two Harbors transaction went away,” creating a hedge loss. On this news, UWM’s stock dropped $0.64 per share, or 34.78%, from a closing price of $1.84 per share on August 5, 2026, to $1.20 per share on August 6, 2026.
