Cavan Images | Cavan | Getty Images At the start of 2025, during President Joe Biden's final weeks in office, lawmakers pushed forward with last-minute major legislation that provides Social Security benefit increases to certain public pensioners. The Social Security Fairness Act was passed with an overwhelming bipartisan majority in both the House and Senate, and Biden signed it into law on Jan. 5, 2025. Now, several senators are calling on the Social Security Administration to reconsider what they say is a flaw in the law's implementation: retroactive payments limited to six months rather than one year for certain beneficiaries. The Social Security Fairness Act eliminated two provisions — the Windfall Elimination Provision, or WEP, and the Government Pension Offset, or GPO — that reduced or, in some cases, eliminated Social Security benefits for individuals who receive pension income from jobs where Social Security payroll taxes were not paid. However, those individuals also have other income from jobs that paid into the program, which made them eligible for benefits.

Welcome back, Brian Stewart, Seeking Alpha's Director of News. Brian Stewart: Great to be here. Rena Sherbill: Always great to have you talk to us. What are you looking at this week? What are you thinking about? Brian Stewart: So I think this week was more about macro factors . I'm thinking especially about the jobs data, the inflation data that just came out today. So looking at the jobs data, added 130,000 jobs in January. Unemployment rate dipped to 4.3%. Those are both better than expected. Unfortunately, we saw revisions lower in previous months. December went down 2000 from 50 to 48,000 and November was down to 41,000 job gain. So pretty, pretty modest there. Also, we saw a downward revision for the 2025 as a whole. And that was pretty large revision lower. So previously the total number of jobs added in 2025 was slightly less than 600,000. So 584,000. And that was revised down to 181,000. So something like a third of the job gains that we thought we had. You saw revisions lower in each of the months except for one. 2025, we had losses in four of the 12 months with the new revised data. So as it turns out, the situation in 2025 was pretty anemic in terms of job growth. I think people are balancing the better than expected news for January with the realization that 2025 was probably not as good as we expected. And even, in the moment, didn't feel that great. And I also think there's a bit of skepticism about the January report just because there has been this habit of revising lower in the future. So we might see that number come down in coming months. So, we'll have to see it's still a pretty other jobs data has been point...

Agnico Eagle Mines Ltd . Chief Executive Officer Ammar Al-Joundi said the gold producer is “very well-positioned” to pursue acquisitions should opportunities emerge, signaling a renewed openness to deal-making after years focused on growing output from existing mines. “We are willing to move — and we have moved — when we see an opportunity on the M&A side that actually creates value per share,” he said during an earnings call on Friday, adding that the company has a “very good understanding of the various assets out there.” His comments suggests a more proactive approach to doing deals from a CEO who has traditionally been reserved on transactions. Back in September , Al-Joundi told Bloomberg that his company was focused on internal growth, and warned about the pursuit of “irresponsible M&A” just because of high gold prices. The precious metal has been on a record-breaking run, helping to boost miners’ coffers and drive profit margins to all-time highs. Read More: Agnico Eagle CEO Sees Only One Reason to Buy a Gold Stock Speaking to investors and analysts on Friday’s call, Al-Joundi said assets with strong exploration potential would offer the most high value opportunities. He added, in response to a separate question, that the company would also consider divesting non-core holdings. “What would really interest us — and what has really driven us for external M&A — has really been exploration upside,” he said. “If it makes sense for someone else to own one of those assets and they view that they can pay our owners more money than we see in it, we would always be open to that.” Agnico Eagle’s mines have already helped the company grow. Its annual production last year has propelled the Toronto-based miner past Barrick Mining Corp ., to claim the No. 2 rank for the world’s gold producers.

On February 13, 2026, Impala Asset Management LLC disclosed in a U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filing that it bought 162,119 additional shares of The Buckle (NYSE:BKE) , an estimated $9.04 million trade based on quarterly average pricing.

Sarah Mason/DigitalVision via Getty Images Investment Thesis I recommend buying Agibank (NYSE: AGBK ) shares after an in-depth study of its IPO. My intention with this article is to show the company's history, its business model, challenges, and opportunities, but above all, to show that its valuation does not resemble the expensive IPOs that are normally launched on the market. IPO Details Finally, Agibank went public on the NYSE and raised $240 million , but anyone reading this might think it was a smooth IPO process. In fact, the bank already tried to launch an IPO in June 2018, but at the time, investors were inclined to disrupt fintechs, such as PagSeguro ( PAGS ), for example. The company launched the IPO on January 29 with the intention of raising more than $830 million in a mostly primary offering. The base offer was $720 million and 100% primary, and if there was still demand, there would be a greenshoe of $108 million, which would be secondary and would give exit to Vinci Compass and Lumina Capital, private equity investors. At the time, the indicative range was between $15 and $18, but pricing would only take place on February 10, and a lot happened during that period. The market worsened significantly with investors concerned about the valuations of SaaS companies, and Agibank was forced to restructure the IPO. Another factor that must have increased aversion to the company's IPO was the sharp drop in the peer PicPay ( PICS ) shares after its IPO a few days earlier. Therefore, the base offering was reduced from 43 million shares to 20 million, and the price range dropped from $15-$18 to $12-$13. The secondary offering that would have provided a partial exit to private equity investors has been eliminated. Agibank announced that it priced its IPO at $12 per share and raised $276 million. In short, Agibank planned to raise $720 million but ended up with less than half of the target. The operation also included a 30-day option for coordinators to purchase u...

By all accounts its stock should be in the red today. CRISPR Therapeutics (NASDAQ: CRSP) only reported $864,000 in fourth-quarter revenue after Thursday's closing bell, leading to a loss of $1.37 per share versus analysts' estimates for a loss of only around $1.20 per share on sales of at least a few million dollars.

By all accounts its stock should be in the red today. CRISPR Therapeutics (NASDAQ: CRSP) only reported $864,000 in fourth-quarter revenue after Thursday's closing bell, leading to a loss of $1.37 per share versus analysts' estimates for a loss of only around $1.20 per share on sales of at least a few million dollars. Yet, as of 2:03 p.m. ET Friday, CRISPR shares are higher to the tune of 9.7%. What gives? Thank Vertex Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: VRTX) , mostly. CRISPR Therapeutics' gene-editing therapy Casgevy is impressive enough in its own right, by virtue of being the FDA' first-ever approved gene-editing therapy (for the treatment of sickle cell disease). CRISPR Therapeutics still faces the same struggles most other young biotechnology companies do, however. Chief among these challenges is lingering -- and often significant -- losses and inconsistent, unpredictable revenue. Many biotech start-ups need a bigger developmental partner to help a new treatment reach its full commercialization potential. Continue reading

Solskin Pharmaceutical ( PJP ), ( XPH ), ( PPH ) and biotechnology stocks ( XBI ), ( BBH ) have officially returned to favor on Wall Street, according to Michael Yee, global head of biotechnology equity research at UBS. In an interview with CNBC, Yee highlighted a renewed investor appetite for beaten-down healthcare names, even as individual companies like Moderna ( MRNA ) navigate significant headwinds including regulatory setbacks and substantial cash burn exceeding $2B annually. “Pharma and biotech are back,” Yee said. “The investor base out there on Wall Street continues to want to come back to some of these names that have been beaten down and hated.” He noted that the sector has reacted positively to recent developments, including favorable pricing deals signed by the Trump administration. Moderna’s stock ( MRNA ) has surged in recent months, driven largely by short covering and optimism around the company’s pipeline turnaround. However, Yee expressed caution, pointing to the FDA’s recent rejection of Moderna’s flu vaccine application as a sign of broader regulatory challenges. The company’s revenues remain a fraction of their 2022 peak during the height of COVID-19 vaccine demand. A major catalyst on the horizon is Moderna’s ( MRNA ) cancer vaccine data readout later this year, developed in partnership with Merck ( MRK ). Yee said there is a “good chance it will be positive,” potentially generating around $1B in revenue. Still, he noted that such results alone would not be enough to offset the company’s ongoing losses. “They’re really in the business of conserving cash right now. I think they need to pivot to other areas,” he said. Beyond Moderna, Yee identified several “comeback stories” that he finds compelling, including Merck ( MRK ), Bristol Myers Squibb ( BMY ), Amgen ( AMGN ), and Gilead ( GILD ). He described these stocks as cheap relative to their potential and noted they are beginning to break out. Eli Lilly ( LLY ) remains a top pick in the GLP-1 s...

Nikhil Gupta faces a maximum 40 years in prison after he pleaded guilty to murder-for-hire, conspiracy to commit murder-for-hire, and money-laundering charges in connection to the failed attempt to assassinate Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, a US resident who is an advocate for a sovereign Sikh state in northern India.

The average Fortune 1000 company has more than 30,000 employees and engineering, sales and marketing teams with hundreds of members. Equally large teams exist in government, science and defense organizations. And yet, research shows that the ideal size for a productive real-time conversation is only about 4 to 7 people . The reason is simple: As groups grow larger, each person has less opportunity to speak and must wait longer to respond, increasing their frustration that their views are not sufficiently considered. This is true whether groups collaborate in person, by video or teleconference, or even by text chat (which buries users in a backlog of messages that reduce participation and undermine deliberation). Simply put, productive team conversations do not scale. So, what do you do if you have a large team and you want to leverage their knowledge, wisdom, insight and expertise? For many organizations, their only choice is to resort to polls, surveys or interviews. This will capture data about individual perspectives, but nobody will “feel heard” when the process is over, and it will rarely find optimal solutions. This is because polls, surveys and interviews are not deliberative instruments. There is no give and take as team members debate issues, provide reasons and rationales, present arguments and counterarguments and ultimately converge on solutions by virtue of their deliberative merits. Surveys treat people as over-simplified data points , while interactive conversations treat people as thoughtful data processors . This difference is profound. I have been studying this issue for more than a decade, and I’m convinced that the best way to unlock the true collective intelligence of large teams is through authentic real-time conversations at scale. I am talking about thoughtful discussions where scores of people can brainstorm, prioritize and forecast together, ultimately converging on solutions that genuinely leverage their combined knowledge, wisdom and insi...
