The cryptocurrency miner last tapped the high-yield bond market in November, raising roughly $1.7 billion in debt as part of a push to expand its compute capacity. In November, Cipher signed an agreement to build 300 megawatts of gross data center capacity at the Black Pearl facility that will be leased to Amazon Web Services for at least 15 years.

Rinvoq is a prescription medicine approved for a range of immune-mediated inflammatory diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis, Crohn's disease, and ulcerative colitis among others.

Esteban Alejandro/iStock via Getty Images The Devon Energy Corporation ( DVN ) shopping spree continues with the announcement of the merger of Devon and Coterra Energy Inc. ( CTRA ). My last article covered the Grayson Mill acquisition back in July 2024. I was less than thrilled with that idea. Then along came activist Kimmeridge Energy. Kimmeridge took a position in both companies while writing a letter to the Coterra Board. The Devon Board was most likely similarly contacted as well. Activists like this often want an immediate return. Most likely Kimmeridge will wait to see if the merger results in any benefits to shareholders. Coterra had the acquisition of Cabot, which did not turn out all that well either. That likely means that putting these two companies together was a defensive move to an activist investor buying a position in each company. Rather than a benefit to shareholders, this could get ugly. Devon Energy Common Stock Price History And Key Valuation Measures (Seeking Alpha Website February 2, 2026) As shown above, clearly that 2024 acquisition really has had no material benefit to Devon since then. Now it could be that not enough time has elapsed. But Devon has been on a long-term shopping spree for some time. One would expect a different stock chart from what is shown above as a result. I am not a fan of activist shareholders as a rule because they often go for short-term value and profits at the expense of long-term benefits. Sometimes they leave a real mess behind. Diamondback Record But in this case, Kimmeridge is after two companies that have had mergers recently that really have not shown obvious benefits. I follow companies like Diamondback Energy ( FANG ) where the merger often results in a dividend increase and material profitability increases one way or another. To me, the stock price action over 10 years or so is much stronger as well. Diamondback Energy Common Stock Price History And Key Valuation Measures (Seeking Alpha Website February 2...

Boyd Gaming Corporation BYD is scheduled to report fourth-quarter 2025 results on Feb. 5, after the closing bell. BYD’s earnings beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate in each of the trailing four quarters, with an average surprise being 9.6%. Trend in the Estimate Revision of BYD The Zacks Consensus Estimate for fourth-quarter earnings per share (EPS) is pegged at $1.88, indicating a decline of 4.1% from $1.96 reported in the year-ago quarter. For revenues, the consensus mark is pegged at nearly $1.01 billion. The metric implies a decline of 3.3% from the year-ago quarter’s figure. Let’s take a look at how things have shaped up in the quarter. Factors Likely to Shape Boyd Gaming’s Q4 Quarterly Results Boyd Gaming’s fourth-quarter 2025 revenues are likely to have been supported by continued strength in its core customer base and improving trends among retail players, which management noted carried over from the third quarter into October. Gaming volumes are likely to have benefited from steady visitation across Las Vegas Locals and Midwest & South properties, where disciplined marketing and efficient operations helped convert demand into revenues. Ongoing gains from recently completed and maturing investments, such as the land-based Treasure Chest casino, expanded meeting and convention space at Ameristar St. Charles, and growth in online and managed businesses, are also likely to have contributed to the performance of the to-be-reported quarter. Despite underlying strength in gaming play, Boyd’s revenues are likely to have declined year over year primarily due to weakness in destination business, especially tied to lower hotel, banquet and related non-gaming activity. Management repeatedly highlighted softness in destination visitation, which reduced hotel occupancy and ancillary spend, with the Orleans property being a notable drag. Earnings pressure in the quarter has been caused by margin headwinds from the same destination-related weakness, as hotel and convention b...

This article first appeared on GuruFocus. A sharp reversal in Chinese technology shares pushed the Hang Seng Tech Index close to bear market territory on Tuesday, underscoring how quickly sentiment could shift after last year's rally. The index reversed earlier gains to fall as much as 3.4% during the session, briefly extending its decline to roughly 20% from its October peak, before recovering part of the move to close down 1.1%. Shares of Kuaishou Technology (KUASF), Baidu (NASDAQ:BIDU) and Tencent (TCEHY) were among the largest decliners as investors reacted to renewed policy uncertainty. The selloff was sparked by concerns that authorities may raise value-added taxes on internet companies, following a recent tax increase affecting telecommunication firms. The move came alongside broader volatility in global technology markets, as doubts resurfaced over elevated valuations and reduced expectations for US interest rate cuts. Although state-backed Xinhua News Agency later dismissed speculation around a potential levy on the gaming industry, the episode highlighted heightened sensitivity to negative headlines. Daniel So, a senior trading strategist at Goldhorse Capital Management, said Chinese stocks are no longer viewed as cheap, leaving investors more reactive to downside risks. Fiscal pressures may also be adding to caution across the sector. China ran a record budget deficit last year as social welfare spending grew at its fastest pace since 2017, according to Bloomberg calculations, while authorities have intensified efforts to tax undisclosed overseas assets to help meet funding needs. Sentiment was further weighed down by Tencent's decision to distribute cash through digital red packets to promote its artificial intelligence app Yuanbao, a strategy that followed similar campaigns by rivals and has possibly reinforced concerns about an increasingly intense price war among China's technology companies.
