Earnings Call Insights: ATN International (ATNI) Q4 2025 Management View CEO Brad Martin stated that "our fourth quarter results show the continued execution of our strategic plan and further validate the operational improvements we have been implementing across our business segments." He highlighted revenue growth, expanded adjusted EBITDA, and improved operating income, along with the expansion of high-speed broadband homes passed and high-speed subscribers. Martin emphasized that "2025 was a turning point for ATN as we shifted from stabilizing the business to clearly demonstrating progress against our strategy." The company increased net cash provided by operating activities, reduced capital intensity while investing in networks, and improved operating income. The CEO discussed the pending sale of the Southwest U.S. tower portfolio for up to $297 million, stating that this move "positions us to enter 2026 with greater resilience, more flexibility and with a clear focus on our core strategic objectives." In the International segment, Martin noted "our network investments and focus on service quality are driving growth in mobility and high-speed data subscribers and contributing to adjusted EBITDA expansion." For the U.S. segment, Martin detailed a "strategic shift... pivoting away from legacy subsidized and lower-margin consumer offerings in certain Southwest consumer markets," with improved performance resulting from this change, particularly in the second half of 2025. Martin announced the receipt of provisional BEAD awards and preliminary commitments totaling more than $150 million in New Mexico and Alaska, expanding the opportunity to pass additional homes with fiber and high-speed broadband. CFO Carlos Doglioli stated, "Total revenues for the fourth quarter grew 2% to $184.2 million compared with $180.5 million in the prior year quarter... communication service revenues increased 3% driven by growth across multiple service offerings." Doglioli added, "Operati...

Richard Drury/DigitalVision via Getty Images By Min Joo Kang, Senior Economist, South Korea and Japan Tax cut pledge will eventually be implemented, though details remain lacking With the landslide victory of Japan's Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) in February, Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi’s “responsible and expansionary fiscal policy” is expected to drive the economy’s growth. She pledged to alleviate living costs and increase public expenditure with the aim of improving the country's strategic industries and quality of life. Among the key campaign proposals was a reduction in the consumption tax on food, without increasing government debt, though no specific details have been provided so far. Once this is implemented, it should marginally boost growth, at least temporarily. Yet, since the timing and details of tax cuts are uncertain, we have updated our GDP and inflation outlook without factoring in the potential impact of these tax reductions. Growth is expected to stay above potential in 2026 The ongoing conflict in the Middle East presents considerable uncertainty. Should the situation be resolved within the speculated timeframe, however, growth conditions are expected to remain robust in 2026 due to fiscal support and a recovery in private consumption. Preliminary GDP data for the fourth quarter of 2025 showed just 0.2% annualised growth, but stronger-than-expected capital spending data points to a likely upward revision to 1.2%. We expect growth momentum to continue in 2026. The effects of the supplementary budget are beginning to take hold, and robust corporate earnings are expected to facilitate sustained wage growth, increased investment, and enhanced government tax revenues. In the face of structural labour shortages, we anticipate that wage growth will exceed 5% for the full-year 2026. As inflation is expected to stay near 2%, real wage growth is expected to turn positive, which should boost private consumption. Meanwhile, the government is likely to inc...

Key Points BigBear.ai saw its revenue plunge and margins tumble in Q4. The company is looking to recent acquisitions to help it drive growth. 10 stocks we like better than BigBear.ai › It's been a tough start to the year for BigBear.ai's (NYSE: BBAI) stock, and things did not get any better after the company reported its fourth-quarter results on Monday. Following its retreat, the stock is now down nearly 28% on the year, as of this writing. With the stock down and some recent acquisitions in tow, let's see if now is a good time to buy shares of the beaten-up artificial intelligence (AI) analytics company. Will AI create the world's first trillionaire? Our team just released a report on the one little-known company, called an "Indispensable Monopoly" providing the critical technology Nvidia and Intel both need. Continue » BigBear.ai is looking for a turnaround BigBear.ai ended 2025 on a down note, with its Q4 revenue sinking 38% year over year to $27.3 million. The company said the decline stemmed from lower volumes related to contracts it has with the U.S. Army. That was well below the $33.3 million analyst consensus. On top of the big decline in revenue, the company's gross margins plunged to 20.3% from 37.4% a year ago. It said the margin compression was the result of one-time high-margin contracts not repeating this year. This is a low margin for a company that bills itself as an artificial intelligence (AI) analytics company, as it is much more of a government systems integrator whose engineers and data scientists need to be on-premise for most of the government projects it is involved in. BigBear.ai saw its adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) turn negative, falling to a loss of $10.3 million versus a gain of $2 million a year ago. The company had cash flow from operations of negative $21.8 million in the quarter and negative $42 million for the year. Free cash flow was negative $42.5 million for the year. The compa...

This article first appeared on GuruFocus. Broadcom (NASDAQ:AVGO) climbed 6% early Thursday after reporting fiscal first-quarter results that exceeded analyst expectations, driven by rising demand for artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure. The semiconductor and software company said AI-related revenue more than doubled year over year to $8.4 billion. Total sales rose 29% to $19.31 billion, slightly above analysts' forecast of $19.26 billion. Adjusted earnings reached $2.05 per share, surpassing the $2.03 estimate. CEO Hock Tan said demand for Broadcom's custom AI chips and networking products is accelerating as hyperscalers and other technology firms expand AI capabilities. The company currently supports six key customers on AI processors, including Google, Meta (NASDAQ:META), Anthropic, and OpenAI, with Fujitsu and ByteDance expected to join. Tan projected AI chip revenue could exceed $100 billion by 2027. Broadcom also highlighted growth in AI networking and infrastructure software. Networking products are expected to account for about 40% of AI revenue, while infrastructure software revenue is projected to rise 9% year over year to $7.2 billion. The company also launched a new share repurchase program of up to $10 billion.

JHVEPhoto/iStock Editorial via Getty Images Semiconductor and software maker, Broadcom Inc. ( AVGO ), is trading higher following the release of its fiscal Q1 results that came in ahead of expectations . In a sign of continued confidence in the outlook, AVGO also announced a new +$10B buyback plan . The gains following results and continued investor bullishness is not surprising to me. Shares are down a bit from their 52-week highs and are about flat YTD but are still up about 70% over the past year. I expect the stock to maintain gains and to continue heading higher following its first quarterly release of its new fiscal year. Seeking Alpha - 1-YR Share Price Performance Of AVGO Stock That doesn’t mean I’m overly excited about positioning myself in the stock at current trading levels. For new investors, I believe the stock is a continued Hold. For new investors looking in, however, I believe it’s best to wait for a better entry point. AVGO Stock Key Metrics Shares in AVGO hold a forward multiple near the 30x mark. That’s above broader index averages in the 20x range, but I don’t view this as an egregious valuation. The multiple is right around historical averages, and in my view, the historicals aren’t particularly relevant, given AVGO’s growth story. Seeking Alpha - Valuation Metrics Of AVGO Stock Compared against these historicals, however, I can understand why the Seeking Alpha (“SA”) Quants grade the stock poorly on valuation. This poor grading is also the primary reason AVGO is rated as a Hold overall by the quants. Seeking Alpha - Ratings Summary Of AVGO Stock The broader analyst community, on the other hand, are significantly more bullish. Most of the coverage on SA over the past three years has been bullish, with analysts still rating shares as a Buy today. Wall Street, too, is bullish, and significantly more so. In fact, Analysts providing price targets see AVGO running up another approximately 50% from current trading levels. Seeking Alpha - Average Price...

Maggie Keswick Jenks received her weekly breast cancer treatment in a windowless neon-lit room in Edinburgh’s Western General hospital. Her husband, the renowned landscape designer Charles, described it as a kind of “architectural aversion therapy”. It was then, in the early 1990s, that the Scottish artist and garden designer imagined her own blueprint that would allow cancer patients “a space of their own” within the alienating, clinical confines of the hospital estate, one where they might “not lose the joy of living in the fear of dying”. The first Maggie’s Centre opened in Edinburgh in 1996, a year after her death, designed by Richard Murphy and housed in a converted stable block in the Western General grounds. Three decades on, there are more than 30 of these hospital-adjacent cancer support centres across the UK, with a handful overseas, and this legacy of conscious design is celebrated in a free exhibition at the V&A Dundee from Friday. View image in fullscreen The Maggie's Center at Dundee's Ninewells hospital was founded by Frank Gehry’s friend Maggie Keswick Jenks.

MSP Liam McArthur is standing between the plinths. Photograph: Murdo MacLeod/The Guardian Welcome, colour, joy and proximity to nature are all part of Maggie’s unique design brief that has since been interpreted by some of the world’s most acclaimed architects, including Zaha Hadid, Richard Rogers, Norman Foster and Benedetta Tagliabue. “Yet the centres all look wildly different,” explains curator Meredith More, “because there are infinite ways to address the brief creatively”. The exhibition contrasts the inviting glow of the wide, translucent glass facade at Barts, London, with Frank Gehry’s squat, homely design for Maggie’s Dundee, or the Oxford centre,...

If you were propelled by a DeLorean into the near-future, and the first thing you saw was the prime minister standing in front of a wood-panelled wall with two union flags and a lectern, you would know straight away: something of grave national importance had happened. It’s a scene that PMs like to use to portray statesmanship, control and urgency. This afternoon, Keir Starmer deployed the backdrop for a press conference about the widespread and evolving conflict across the Middle East , which has entered the sixth of what threatens to become a large number of days. Starmer tends to score pretty well as an international statesman (certainly higher than he does as a domestic, parliamentary politician). Plus, the public agrees with him on this issue: a feeble 8% of voters think the UK should be actively joining the US-Israeli assault on Iran, according to YouGov polling . A large plurality — 46% — say Britain’s role should be purely defensive, and 26% say it should be retaliatory only. So what’s the problem? It’s that Starmer is seen to have dawdled, twiddled his thumbs and sat on the fence. He and his advisers know it’s irrelevant whether or not these accusations are true, the perception is all that matters. And so the Labour leader seemed almost relieved when the first question of the press conference, from the BBC, specifically asked if he was guilty of “indecision, prevarication and a lack of preparedness.” “Thank you, yes, let me address that,” Starmer replied , with visible alacrity, as if he was answering a planted question. His argument went thus: Fighter jets, air defence missiles and other arsenal were sent to areas in the region such as Cyprus and Qatar in January and February. The jets went straight up to the skies on Saturday. Additional Typhoons and Wildcat helicopters are on their way. Guaranteeing the safety of British citizens in the Gulf is “one of the biggest operations of its kind, many times bigger than the evacuation from Afghanistan,” but the go...

Exchange-traded funds appeal to investors who like to keep things simple. Rather than doing research on countless individual stocks in the hope of finding enough promising prospects to create a well-diversified portfolio of 25 picks or more, the right ETF can give you instant diversification that's tailored to your particular investing strategy.

Yet as with everything in the financial world, the most successful ETFs have struck a chord with investors.

But there's only so much room for ETFs that track the S&P 500. One ETF that proved that you could actually outperform the S&P 500 using an index investing approach was a game-changer for many investors.
