(RTTNews) - The China stock market on Tuesday snapped the two-day losing streak in which it had tumbled more than 140 points or 3.8 percent. The Shanghai Composite Index now sits just above the 4,065-point plateau although it's likely to open under water on Wednesday. The global forecast for the Asian markets is negative, with technology stocks expected to lead the markets lower. The European and U.S. markets were down and the Asian bourses figure to open in similar fashion. The SCI finished sharply higher on Tuesday following gains form the property and resource stocks, while the financials and oil companies were soft. For the day, the index rallied 51.99 points or 1.29 percent to finish at 4,067.74 after trading between 4,002.78 and 4,069.42.

Earnings Call Insights: Aytu BioPharma (AYTU) Q2 2026 Management View CEO Joshua Disbrow highlighted the commercial launch of EXXUA, the first and only 5HT1a agonist approved by the FDA for major depressive disorder (MDD), describing it as a “momentous time for Aytu.” Disbrow emphasized the differentiated mechanism of EXXUA, stating its targeted action on the 5HT1a receptor aims to address “unmet needs” in antidepressant therapy, particularly around tolerability and side effects such as sexual dysfunction and weight gain. Disbrow discussed early launch metrics, noting “scripts for EXXUA have been written from 27 states, including numerous states where we don't have sales reps,” and that “over 100 doctors have prescribed EXXUA to date.” He further shared that the company is already “seeing our first set of refills come through the platform.” The commercial strategy for EXXUA combines an incentivized sales organization, virtual and contract sales teams, and a focused promotional campaign, targeting high-value psychiatry practices and leveraging Aytu’s RxConnect platform. Disbrow stated, “The early wins we're seeing reinforce our confidence that this focused approach is resonating in the field.” Patient access is a key focus, with RxConnect guaranteeing predictable coverage for commercially insured patients and capping out-of-pocket costs at $50 per prescription. For the ADHD portfolio, Disbrow reported net revenue of $13.2 million, describing results as “flat compared to [Q1]” and resilient despite generic competition and a shift in salesforce focus to EXXUA. CFO Ryan J. Selhorn stated, “Net revenue for the quarter was $15.2 million compared to $16.2 million for the prior year.” Selhorn detailed gross margin performance, “Gross margin was 63.5% during the quarter compared to 66.5% last year,” and attributed the decline to transition-related expenses and an inventory write-down. Outlook Selhorn reiterated that the December quarter reflected “just a small initial produc...

Earnings Call Insights: InnovAge Holding Corp. (INNV) Q2 2026 Management View CEO Patrick Blair highlighted continued business momentum, stating that "our second quarter results reflect continued momentum across the business and disciplined execution across our clinical, operational and financial initiatives." He noted total revenues of $239.7 million, center-level contribution margin of $52.8 million, adjusted EBITDA of $22.2 million, and net income of $11.8 million for the quarter. Blair emphasized, "This quarter, for the first time, we achieved that target, delivering an adjusted EBITDA margin of 9.2%." Blair attributed the progress to improvements in revenue integrity, particularly around Medicaid eligibility and redeterminations, and noted, "As a result, we've improved timeliness and accuracy, reduced reserves and reinstated coverage for a number of participants where outcomes have been previously less certain." The company reported a more favorable Medicaid rate environment and addressed upcoming changes to Medicare Advantage rates, explaining PACE's unique elements such as the frailty adjuster. Blair said, "We continue to have a robust portfolio of clinical and operational value initiatives that we believe can unlock additional value across participant experience, quality, compliance, efficiency and revenue." Governance changes included Tom Scully returning as Chairman of the Board and two board members rejoining. Blair commended Jim Carlson for his prior leadership, stating, "We're grateful for Jim's leadership and pleased that he'll continue to serve as an independent director." CFO Benjamin Adams stated, "We served approximately 8,010 participants across 20 centers as of December 31, 2025, which represents growth of 7.1% compared to the second quarter of fiscal year 2025 and sequential quarter growth of 1.5%." Outlook InnovAge raised its full year fiscal 2026 guidance. Management now expects member months between 92,900 and 95,700, total revenue between $9...

An angry father in China smashed up his home and kicked the door of his daughter’s room because she used a tissue and not a towel to dry her hair. The father’s behaviour was exposed online by his wife on January 26, sparking public outrage after images of his emotional explosion were viewed 110 million times on one social media platform alone, the Beijing TV reported. According to the mother, who lives in Guangdong province, southern China, after her daughter washed her hair, the father spotted some dandruff-like crumbs in her hair. The enraged father rants outside his daughter’s bedroom door as she hides inside. Photo: thepaper The father asked if the girl had used tissues to dry her hair despite his warnings not to do so. Advertisement The girl, whose age was not released in the report, insisted that she had used a towel. However, her father was not convinced. The report did not explain why the father was so angered by the use of tissues, although some people online speculated that it could be related to the cost of tissues. Advertisement The enraged father smashed a hairdryer first. Then, after the girl sought refuge in her room, the father was filmed turning the lock fiercely in an effort to open it.

Hedge funds are reviving bets against the yen , positioning for renewed weakness as Japan heads into a pivotal election this weekend. Dollar-yen returned to the spotlight after Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi pointed to the benefits of a weaker currency ahead of the Feb. 8 vote. She called the snap election to consolidate her leadership, with polls showing her party on track for a standalone majority — a result that could give her greater latitude to pursue fiscal stimulus and add to Japan’s already heavy debt load. Options markets are reflecting the shift. Trading volume in dollar-yen call options worth $100 million or more, which gain if the pair rises, exceeded that of equivalent put options on Tuesday, according to data from the Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation. Amid a pickup in call option demand, the premium to hedge dollar-yen’s downside compared to upside over the next month has fallen to its lowest in nearly two weeks. “Now that markets have stabilised a little and the extreme froth in the precious metals market has calmed down, there is a growing move back into carry and Takaichi trades by hedge funds,” said Antony Foster , head of G-10 spot trading at Nomura International Plc in London. “The Japanese election is this weekend and the feeling that higher levels in USD/JPY will be seen is back, especially if Takaichi wins big.” The yen slid steadily after Takaichi secured the leadership of the Liberal Democratic Party in October, hitting an 18-month low against the dollar last month. The move reversed sharply after a dollar-yen rate check by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York on Jan. 23, reinforced by comments from President Donald Trump days later. Pressure on the currency, however, soon resumed after Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent reiterated support for a strong-dollar policy and Kevin Warsh was nominated as the next Federal Reserve chair. Takaichi’s latest remarks have added to the renewed bullishness in dollar-yen. “Remarks over the past weekend...
