Earnings Call Insights: Grove Collaborative Holdings, Inc. (GROV) Q4 2025 Management View CEO Jeff Yurcisin opened by stating, "We delivered on our revised full year 2025 revenue and adjusted EBITDA guidance, and we returned to positive adjusted EBITDA in the fourth quarter. This was our first positive adjusted EBITDA quarter in the last 6 quarters, and the result reflects a deliberate choice to prioritize liquidity and adjusted EBITDA profitability while we work through customer experience disruptions tied to our e-commerce platform migration." Yurcisin highlighted the company’s mission to be the leading destination for clean, sustainable nontoxic products, explaining, "Our mission is also unchanged to be the leading destination for clean, sustainable nontoxic products for every room in the home." He acknowledged challenges in 2025 due to the e-commerce platform migration, which led to higher customer churn, and noted that active customers at year-end were 599,000, down 13% from the prior year. Management launched the Grove Green Rewards loyalty program and released a redesigned mobile app in February, aiming to rebuild customer engagement and stabilize the core experience. Yurcisin stated, "Mobile is too important to the customer experience to tolerate instability. This release restores much of the functionality and experience customers have prior to the migration." The company executed a reduction in force in November expected to generate approximately $5 million of annualized savings. Yurcisin also reiterated a continued evaluation of strategic alternatives, including potential acquisitions, partnerships, and divestitures. CFO Tom Siragusa stated, "Revenue for the fourth quarter was $42.4 million, down 14.3% year-over-year...That decline was partially offset by $2.9 million of QVC revenue driven by 8Greens Today’s Special Value program." Siragusa added, "Our gross margin was 53.0%, an increase of 60 basis points compared to 52.4% in the fourth quarter of 2024. T...

winhorse/iStock Unreleased via Getty Images Boeing (NYSE: BA ) and Airbus ( EADSF ) are both working on a multi-year trajectory to ramp up airplane production. While order collection has not been a problem, evident from the nearly 2,000 net orders collected in 2025 , hiking production has been far more challenging, with both jet makers navigating their own set of challenges. In this report, I analyze the airplane orders and deliveries for January. As mentioned in prior analyses, we're uniquely positioned to provide value estimates on orders and deliveries to more closely reflect the actual benefit to the businesses. Below, I have attached the explanation of the analysis methodology from a prior report : Explanation Of Analysis Methodology For Airplane Orders And Deliveries The Boeing Company For this analysis, I use an internally developed tool available on The Aerospace Forum . I will be assessing the net orders and deliveries. For each, I will discuss the units ordered and delivered and the associated dollar value. The net orders provide us with a view of demand. This is a reflection of factors such as pricing and availability. Boeing and Airbus have a total backlog of nearly 15,000 airplanes. So, currently, we're not viewing things through the scope of needing more orders to support or increase production. The fact is that the backlogs have to be brought down to healthier levels, and that can be achieved through higher deliveries. Deliveries are what matter, and that's also the area where we see that neither Boeing nor Airbus has been able to support demand. Assessing the deliveries gives us a view of how the recovery for both manufacturers is pacing. As we assess the broader in-year trends, this report considers the year-to-date figures rather than monthly figures on orders and deliveries. Boeing Takes First Lead Of The Year The Aerospace Forum Boeing booked a total of 71 single-aisle orders compared to 48 for Airbus, while in the wide-body segment, Boeing booke...

Toltek/iStock via Getty Images U.S. w heat futures led grains higher Thursday on the Chicago Board of Trade, as the Middle East conflict drives up the dollar and crude oil. CBOT wheat ( W_1:COM ) for May delivery settled +3% to $5.85 1/4 per bushel, corn ( C_1:COM ) for May delivery ended +2.2% to $4.53 1/2 per bushel, and soybeans ( S_1:COM ) for May delivery finished +0.8% to $11.79 per bushel. Analysts said wheat jumped on the back of drier forecasts for the western plains; while dryness eased slightly from the previous week, conditions are still drier than when they started the year, and traders see the potential for rainfall to turn more sparse in the coming week, Dow Jones reported. CBOT corn and soybeans followed energy futures higher, and have been moving closer to the way petroleum futures move due to the role the grains have as a feedstock for renewable fuels such as ethanol and biodiesel. "The general marketplace is factoring in an extended conflict in the Middle East, as neither side is showing any signs that an end to the attacks is coming anytime soon. That's fueling buying in the grain and soy markets," Brian Grete of Commstock Investments said in a note.

Kristi Noem’s year-long tenure as homeland security secretary has been plagued by controversies as she led an aggressive immigration crackdown that hasprompted protests and lawsuits. There have been scandals, legally dubious deportations condemned by human rights groups, taxpayer-funded publicity campaigns, and false claims about US citizens. After she described two US citizens killed by immigration agents in Minneapolis as being involved in actions of “domestic terrorism” – assertions which independent analyses and state officials said the footage did not support – bipartisan pressure on her leadership mounted and public support plummeted. Here’s a look back at some of the key moments in Noem’s controversial time as the head of DHS. 12 November 2024 – Trump selects Noem for homeland security View image in fullscreen Kristi Noem with Trump at a campaign event in Philadelphia in October 2024. Photograph: Matt Rourke/AP Then president-elect Donald Trump announced that South Dakota governor Kristi Noem would serve as homeland security secretary in his second administration. Trump selected Noem largely because of her hard-line positions on immigration and her loyalty to his agenda, including plans for large-scale deportations and tougher border enforcement. The choice was one of many signals that immigration enforcement would be a central focus of the administration’s national security strategy. Earlier in 2024, Noem went on an ill-fated book tour, widely seen, at least at the time, as an audition to be Trump’s running mate. The memoir is now remembered mostly for her admission that she had shot and killed the family’s “untrainable” hunting dog, a 14-month-old wirehair pointer named Cricket. January 2025 – Senate confirmation View image in fullscreen Noem before her swearing-in ceremony.

In this article COST Follow your favorite stocks CREATE FREE ACCOUNT A man exits after shopping at a Costco store in the Staten Island borough of New York City, U.S., Jan. 16, 2026. Brendan McDermid | Reuters Costco Wholesale beat estimates for holiday-quarter sales and profit on Thursday and said it would cut prices if it received any refunds from the U.S. Supreme Court's decision to strike down President Donald Trump's emergency tariffs. Costco was among over 1,000 businesses that sued the government saying Trump lacked legal authority to impose tariffs under the 1977 International Emergency Economic Powers Act. Costco CEO Ron Vachris said on a post-earnings call it was not yet clear if or when companies would receive refunds from the IEEPA tariffs they paid last year, but added that Costco would look to lower prices and provide better value to customers if it receives any refunds. The company had cut prices on items such as textiles, bedding and cookware after tariffs were reduced on countries including China following the Supreme Court decision. While the Supreme Court struck down the emergency duties, Trump's move to enforce temporary levies on imports is adding to macroeconomic strain for consumer companies already grappling with a volatile trade backdrop and higher cost pressures. With Americans increasingly focusing on value to stretch their budgets stressed by high costs of rent and gas, big box stores such as Walmart and Costco are drawing consumers across income categories. Costco, which raised its membership fee in 2024, has also been investing in its in-house brand Kirkland Signature to attract consumers looking for cheaper options to pricier national brands. "The stock had high expectations heading into the print given its above-average valuation, but the market will likely continue to view the stock as a safe haven due to geopolitical volatility," said David Wagner, head of equity and portfolio manager at Aptus Capital Advisors.
