House Dem Brought Illegal Alien To State Of The Union, Then Protected Him From Law Enforcement There were rumors ahead of President Donald Trump’s State of the Union speech on Tuesday that some Democrats would be bringing illegal immigrants as their guests as some sort of silent protest against Trump’s immigration policies. Well, at least one actually did, and may have committed a crime as a result. Rep. Seth Moulton (D-Mass.) invited a young man with an expired student visa to sit in the gallery for Trump’s speech . Marcelo Gomes daSilva, 19, originally from Brazil, arrived in Milford, Massachusetts, at age six on a visa that has since lapsed. ICE arrested him last May at a holding facility in Burlington after agents initially came looking for his father. He applied for asylum after the detention. Moulton met him outside that facility in June, and the two apparently stayed in touch. Tuesday night's invitation was the congressman's way of giving him a platform. But the Trump administration knew that Moulton and other Democrats were planning to do this. “While Republicans are bringing victims of crimes committed by illegal criminal aliens to the State of the Union, some Democrats in Congress are planning to bring ILLEGAL ALIENS,” the Department of Homeland Security posted on X before the speech. “Democrats are once again prioritizing illegal aliens above the safety of American citizens.” Democrats called out included Sens. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.), John Hickenlooper (D-Colo.), and Seth Moulton. Moulton, “plans to bring illegal alien Marcelo Gomes DaSilva,” the post noted. “Gomes DaSilva is an illegal alien who has no right to be in our nation. We are committed to enforcing the law and fighting for the arrest, detention, and removal of aliens like him.” . @RepMoulton plans to bring illegal alien Marcelo Gomes DaSilva. Gomes DaSilva is an illegal alien who has no right to be in our nation. We are committed to enforcing the law and fighting for the arrest, detention, and ...

Earnings Call Insights: Oportun Financial Corporation (OPRT) Q4 2025 Management View CEO Raul Vazquez stated that "Our fourth quarter results were strong. We met or exceeded all of our guidance metrics, reflecting continued operational discipline and strong execution across the business." Vazquez highlighted sustained GAAP profitability, solid credit performance, ongoing expense discipline, and a reduced cost of capital as the four key headlines from the quarter. Vazquez reported, "We generated $25 million of GAAP net income in 2025, including $3.4 million in the fourth quarter" and noted an 89% growth in adjusted EPS for the year. He also emphasized a 12% reduction in full year GAAP operating expenses from 2024, totaling $362 million in 2025. The company is "exploring the reintroduction of risk-based pricing above 36% APRs for select higher-risk segments on shorter-term loans," which Vazquez described as a meaningful opportunity to improve portfolio returns and expand financial inclusion. Vazquez announced his planned departure as CEO by April 3, with continued advisory support through July 3. CFO Paul Appleton stated, "We delivered a strong fourth quarter relative to guidance. Identifying high-quality originations enabled us to exceed the top end of our quarterly total revenue guidance by $1.7 million or 1%. Combined with disciplined expense management, this drove strong adjusted EBITDA of $42 million, exceeding the top of our guidance range by $5.5 million or 15%." Appleton also noted, "We recorded our fifth consecutive quarter of GAAP profitability with net income of $3.4 million and diluted EPS of $0.07." Outlook Vazquez noted, "Our outlook prudently assumes these conditions persist throughout 2026 alongside our currently tight credit posture." The company expects "mid-single digits originations growth, a 1% to 2% decline in average daily principal balance, revenue growth ranging from flat to a 2% decline, a net charge-off rate range with a midpoint reflecting ...

Earnings Call Insights: Intuit Inc. (INTU) Q2 2026 Management View CEO Sasan Goodarzi stated that "We delivered an outstanding quarter with Q2 revenue growth of 17%, clear evidence our strategy is working with strong execution across our 3 Big Bets." Goodarzi emphasized Intuit's AI and human intelligence (HI) platform as a key differentiator, highlighting the company's ability to deliver "financial intelligence at scale." He noted Intuit's market position as "a category of one" in a highly regulated environment where "accuracy, compliance, security, reliability of financial decisions and the liability that comes with it are critical to our customers." Goodarzi described strong momentum in Intuit's virtual AI agent team, with "over 3 million customers" leveraging these agents and repeat engagement of more than 85%. He announced the rapid scaling of "Intuit Intelligence, a revolutionary system of intelligence that fundamentally changes how customers engage with our platform to run their businesses." The CEO highlighted the launch of a construction edition for Intuit Enterprise Suite, described as "the first in a series of industry-specific AI-native ERP solutions designed for the mid-market."

Earnings Call Insights: Talen Energy Corporation (TLN) Q4 2025 Management View CEO Mark McFarland stated that Talen closed out 2025 with strong results, highlighting the addition of Freedom and Guernsey assets and reaffirmed 2026 guidance. He emphasized, "2026 is off to a good start, and we are reaffirming our 2026 guidance range. Just recall that, that range does not include the recently announced Cornerstone acquisition that we anticipate closing this summer." McFarland reflected on 2025 as "a year of option development," pointing to achievements such as reliability-must-run agreements and a major expansion of the Amazon PPA at Susquehanna. He described 2026 as "the year of rationalization," maintaining confidence in Talen’s strategy amid near-term market noise. On strategy, McFarland indicated, "We remain committed to our Talen flywheel strategy...we managed this long arc and seek to maximize long-term value creation and not to short-term events." He addressed the Montour project, reiterating flexibility and an ongoing pipeline of opportunities: "We remain confident that we can do the same in this instance, too. Short-term hurdles do not define long-term success, how you respond to them does." President Terry Nutt reviewed 2025 strategic activity, noting the Amazon 2.0 PPA was upsized to 1.9 gigawatts and the Freedom and Guernsey acquisitions added 2.8 gigawatts. Nutt also cited a focus on reducing net leverage to below 3.5x by the end of 2026 and extending the share repurchase program to $2 billion through 2028. On acquisitions, Nutt said, "Shortly after closing those transactions, we entered into an agreement to acquire the 3 cornerstone generation assets located in Ohio and Indiana." He highlighted the synergies, diversification, and large load contracting opportunities these assets bring. CFO Cole Muller reported, "For the year ended 2025, we are reporting $1.035 billion of adjusted EBITDA and $524 million of adjusted free cash flow. These results exceed the ...

Palm oil producer First Resources Ltd. paid $5.6 million in connection with land it was required to hand to the Indonesian government, the latest sign of how commodities companies are being affected by a sweeping crackdown that’s brought vast areas under state control. The Singapore-based plantation company paid the “administrative charges” in relation to land handed over to the government, it said Friday in its full-year financial results . There could be further charges for land that has been identified by Indonesia’s forestry task force but not yet transfered, the report said. Indonesia’s palm oil sector, the world’s largest, has been roiled by a massive government crackdown over alleged violation of forestry permits. The state has already seized more than 4 million hectares (roughly 10 million acres) of plantations, mine concessions and processing facilities, with the country’s President Prabowo Subianto looking to double that area this year. Prabowo established the Forest Area Enforcement Task Force in early 2025, which issues fines and transfers land. First Resources didn’t specify the amount of its land that was transferred, but said it was linked to “regulatory changes in spatial planning within the forestry sector.” Land handed over to the government has frequently been placed under control of PT Agrinas Palma Nusantata, a new state-owned firm charged with managing the plantations. Companies are also being fined for alleged breaches of their forestry permits. Malaysia-listed Genting Plantations Bhd. this week said it paid about $25 million to the task force — denting its earnings — without elaborating on the nature of the fine.
Paramount Skydance Corp. ’s winning $111 billion bid for Warner Bros. Discovery Inc. is a coup for the half-dozen advisory firms that helped technology heir David Ellison top Netflix Inc.

Paramount Skydance Corp. ’s winning $111 billion bid for Warner Bros. Discovery Inc. is a coup for the half-dozen advisory firms that helped technology heir David Ellison top Netflix Inc. Centerview Partners and RedBird Advisors were lead advisers to Paramount, with Bank of America Corp. , Citigroup Inc. , M. Klein & Co. —- the advisory firm led by Michael Klein — and LionTree also acting as advisers. Deal advisory credit is immensely important on Wall Street and it isn’t just about bragging rights. Boards tend to be inclined to go with firms with the strongest track record and the fees can be substantial. Allen & Co. and JPMorgan Chase & Co. were each due $90 million for guiding Warner Bros. in its sale to Netflix, according to regulatory filings. It isn’t clear how much Paramount’s bankers will be paid. Evercore Inc. has also been advising Warner Bros. Netflix’s advisers will miss out on the payday of working with the winning bidder. Buyside assignments are always riskier because the biggest slice of fees usually aren’t paid until a deal is completed. Netflix had worked with Moelis & Co. and Wells Fargo & Co.

Norwegian energy company Equinor ASA’s trading unit has shrunk its Singapore power operations. Danske Commodities A/S will transfer its Japan and Australia power operations in Singapore to other teams, Jesper Tronborg , the senior vice president and head of origination and new markets at the firm, said in an emailed statement on Thursday. “This decision has resulted in a smaller team on the APAC desk, which is now covered by traders in both Singapore and Aarhus,” he said, referring to the company’s Danish headquarters. Michael Lunt, a director for APAC trading, and senior trader Tianxiao Zhang left Danske last month, according to people familiar with the matter who asked not to be identified because the information isn’t public. Neither replied to Bloomberg requests for comment via LinkedIn. Global traders and some hedge funds have expanded into power markets across Asia-Pacific, seeking opportunities beyond traditional assets like oil and gas. The region’s key trading hubs include Japan, which liberalized the sector almost a decade ago, and Australia — which has some of the world’s biggest price swings .
