Earnings Call Insights: Graphic Packaging Holding Company (GPK) Q4 2025 Management View Robbert Rietbroek, President and CEO, opened with an introduction and outlined his background in consumer brands, emphasizing his direct experience in packaging design, procurement, and operations. He detailed a comprehensive operational and business review underway, stating, "We have also implemented select initial organizational and reporting changes to enhance transparency and accountability. We established a transformation office led by our new Chief Transformation Officer, who will work hand-in-hand with me to drive operational improvements, enhance productivity and cost savings throughout the organization without disrupting customer service." Rietbroek highlighted several key areas of focus: addressing overcapacity in commodity bleached paperboard markets, adjusting cost structure, reducing inventory, and optimizing capital allocation. He added, "We are focused on what we can control and where our resources have the best opportunities to create lasting value." The CEO named capital allocation priorities as reducing leverage, returning capital to shareholders, and optimizing the company’s footprint and portfolio, explaining that net leverage stands at 3.8x and that $500 million of debt paydown is expected in 2026. Charles Lischer, Interim CFO, reported, "In the fourth quarter, net sales were $2.1 billion, basically flat year-over-year, driven by volumes and pricing, which were both down slightly less than 1%, more than offset by a $40 million foreign exchange benefit. Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter was $311 million." Outlook Lischer stated, "We expect net sales in the range of $8.4 billion to $8.6 billion, which assumes volumes in the range of down 1% to up 1%, including the benefit of innovation sales growth, which is expected to be approximately 2% of sales." Adjusted EBITDA guidance was set between $1.050 billion and $1.250 billion on a reported basis and $1.2 billion to...

Palantir is shaping the "under-the-hood" practices of the US Defense Department as demand for its software grows across warfighting, shipbuilding, and weapons procurement, CEO Alex Karp said during the company's fourth-quarter earnings call on Monday. “One of the unusual things that unfortunately we can’t talk about is also just how much we can shape what’s going on under the hood, including how do you orchestrate something in a defense or civilian context?” Karp told investors. “It’s not that we’re the deciders, but it is the first time that we can help shape the footprint against which we execute.” In December, the company announced it signed an up to $448 million deal with the US Navy to deploy ShipOS, which has demonstrated small-scale successes in streamlining processes used within the Maritime Industrial Base, the network of private companies that build American warships. In some of those early tests, the company has used its digital twinning technology to reduce the time General Dynamics Electric Boat spent planning a submarine schedule from 160 hours to 10 minutes. It also claims that at the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard, the material review process has shrunk from “weeks” to under one hour. “From the beginning, we have stuck to our very strong values of expanding what we believe is the noble side of the West, which means being lethal on the front end, meaning outside, against adversaries, if necessary,” Karp said. “Hopefully adversaries do not want to mess with us.” Palantir CTO Shyam Sankar said this has set off a wave of demand across the Department of Defense as the company’s Maven platform provides the Pentagon with the ability to coordinate from “the factory floor to the foxhole” in order to deliver “lethality.” “We’re starting with the sub fleet, but people are asking us to help with all sorts of different weapon systems: fighters, bombers, surface vessels, drones, weapons themselves, munitions, and it’s a big area for us that spans not only the productio...

In this article INTC Follow your favorite stocks CREATE FREE ACCOUNT Lip-Bu Tan, chief executive officer of Intel Corp., departs following a meeting at the White House in Washington, DC, US, on Monday, Aug. 11, 2025. Alex Wroblewski | Bloomberg | Getty Images Intel CEO Lip-Bu Tan said Tuesday that the chipmaker has appointed a new chief architect to build out graphics processing units, or GPUs. The chips, made by the likes of Nvidia and Advanced Micro Devices , power large language models and have skyrocketed in demand as companies race to build out artificial intelligence infrastructure and data centers. Tan told the audience at the Cisco AI Summit that it took "some persuasion" to convince the new executive to join the chipmaker. Tan did not name the new hire. Intel's stock has rallied over the last year as investors gain optimism about the company's foundry business , but the company is primarily making chips for itself. Over the past few years, the embattled American chipmaker has fallen behind major semiconductor players that have seen a boost from the AI data center buildout. Earlier this month, production snags and supply troubles overshadowed the chipmaker's better-than-expected quarterly results . Investors had also been hoping for more clarity on an anchor customer for its foundry segment. Last year, the company received a wave of big investments from the U.S. government , SoftBank and Nvidia .

The demand for power consumed by data centers is expected to more than double from 292 terawatt-hours (TWh) in 2026 to 606 TWh by 2030, according to McKinsey & Company. In percentage terms of total U.S. power demand, that's a jump from 6.5% in 2026 to 11.7% by 2030.

The demand for power consumed by data centers is expected to more than double from 292 terawatt-hours (TWh) in 2026 to 606 TWh by 2030, according to McKinsey & Company. In percentage terms of total U.S. power demand, that's a jump from 6.5% in 2026 to 11.7% by 2030. If you think that's an overly aggressive projection we've already seen power demand by data centers nearly double from 147 TWh in 2023 to 292 TWh in 2026. Hyperscalers and colocation operators recognize that should the projected power demand play out as expected, that demand will likely be filled "behind-the-meter" (BTM) as the grid will lag. The company in focus this week is Bloom Energy (BE) . According to the company's research, around 30% of new data centers are expected to rely on on-site/BTM power by 2030, which is a significant uptick from prior estimates. Bloom Energy is a co-located power solution that builds fuel cells that, according to its website, "converts natural gas, biogas, or hydrogen into electricity without combustion, resulting in low or no CO2 emission." Bloom has strong strategic partners in the data center space including Oracle, Brookfield, AEP, and Equinix. The fuel cells are not easily replicated by competitors. While Bloom has competition already, the company holds a solid patent portfolio and has early-mover status. The bearish side is the valuation is extremely high, combined with the potential challenge of converting pipeline orders into booked revenue and profitability. The ordering timelines are long and BTM deployments are capital intensive. Permitting is extensive, and long-term contracts will likely delay revenue hitting the books. Plus, the company will likely deal with changing regulatory environments around its natural gas use and emission standards. We last wrote about Bloom Energy in August when the stock was trading at around $42. It's currently trading at around $162. I think there's more room to run. The weekly chart shows a wave five and Fibonacci ratio zone t...

Leftist Censors Cry About Censorship Authored by J.B. Shurk via American Thinker ), Perhaps the most discouraging condition of the modern age is the absolute breakdown in communication among members of society. It once seemed reasonable to expect that the Internet and social media might aid in our understanding of each other. Instead, online forums are filled with people who speak the same language but interpret words entirely differently. With the arrest of former CNN commentator Don Lemon for allegedly violating the religious rights of worshipers in Minneapolis, Democrats and the corporate news media have universally condemned Attorney General Pam Bondi for somehow “ infringing ” upon Lemon’s First Amendment rights as a so-called “journalist.” They intentionally ignore how Lemon joined others in storming a church, intimidating congregants, and causing emotional harm to those worshipers (including children) who understandably felt as if they were under attack. Lemon and his apologists continue to defend the organized raid of a Christian service as some kind of “protest” and describe the unwanted intruders as “protesters.” For those who were made to suffer through the invasion, however, their ordeal felt like an act of terrorism perpetrated by terrorists whose intent was to scare those assembled to worship. When society can’t agree upon the difference between “protest” and “terrorism,” we have a serious problem. We have seen this dilemma play out all over the Minneapolis area recently. Democrat officials describe federal agents conducting lawful arrests as “terrorists” and “Nazis” and defend criminal illegal aliens as “victims.” Trained mobs of leftist agitators who intentionally obstruct the professional duties of law enforcement officers insist on calling themselves “legal observers” and “peaceful protesters.” When Democrat officials and members of the corporate news media describe people who commit crimes as “legal” and “peaceful,” it is impossible for society to...

watch now VIDEO 6:06 06:06 How playing poker can give you the ‘reps’ needed for career success CNBC Changemakers Jenny Just has had a lot of success over the years, from profits booked trading options to founding a fintech company with just $1.5 million in seed money that has made her a billionaire. But she says one of the most important skills of her career she learned very late and at considerable cost. "I think I could have saved 10 years of losses off my career if I had learned poker sooner," Just said on the "CNBC Changemakers and Power Players" podcast. Just has become well-known for her advocacy of poker as a discipline that far surpasses its association with gambling. She describes it as a training ground for decision-making under pressure and a critical skill for young people, in particular girls, to learn early in life. It forces players to assess the risks around them without complete information. It requires repeated choices with real consequences. The conditions of a poker game mirror situations Just found herself in while trading and building companies earlier in a career, when mistakes were costly. Just believes poker would have accelerated her learning curve by compressing years of trial. "Poker would have just given me more reps," Just told CNBC Senior Media & Tech Correspondent Julia Boorstin in the latest episode of the Changemakers podcast. "When those experiences compound ... the more my baseline grows," she said. Just says many men begin accumulating those reps long before they enter into their careers, playing poker as young as eight to 10 years of age. "Limiting my downside in certain scenarios ... and opening up the upside," Just said. "Poker would have just given me more reps." Just was named to the 2025 CNBC Changemakers list . In 2020, Just and her daughter Juliette launched the Poker Power platform to teach women and girls how to play the game, and how to use the lessons from poker to succeed professionally. In addition to the years of a...

viper-zero/iStock Editorial via Getty Images A U.S. Navy fighter jet shot down an Iranian drone that approached the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln in the Arabian Sea, the Associated Press reported Tuesday, citing U.S. Central Command. The incident adds to rising tensions between Washington and Tehran. The drone flew toward the carrier with what the military described as unclear intent and continued its approach despite U.S. efforts to de-escalate the situation while operating in international waters. An F-35C launched from the carrier destroyed the Shahed-139 drone, which was intercepted roughly 500 miles (804.67 km) from Iran’s southern coast. No U.S. personnel were injured and no equipment was damaged. The shootdown followed separate incidents in the Strait of Hormuz, where Iranian forces harassed a U.S.-flagged merchant vessel. American warships intervened and escorted the ship to safety, the military said. The events come as the Trump administration signals both a willingness to negotiate with Iran over its nuclear program and a readiness to use military force if talks fail. The U.S. has recently reinforced its regional presence, deploying an aircraft carrier, destroyers and additional air and missile defense assets.

Spencer Platt/Getty Images News Exxon Mobil ( XOM ) +3.7% in Tuesday's trading despite a downgrade to a rare Sell-equivalent rating for the company, as BNP Paribas cut shares to Underperform from Neutral with a $125 price target, saying it struggles to support the stock’s "lofty" current valuation. "After a year of very strong absolute and relative performance augmented by a 16% absolute rise since the start of 2026 we are, once again struggling with Exxon's valuation," BNP Paribas analyst Lucas Herrmann wrote, noting an "essentially committed cash return - buyback and dividend - of ~6.6% is not unattractive relative to the broader S&P, making Exxon an easy name to hide in for those who want to hedge out oil price risk... Yet to the extent that it is now notably ahead of our estimates for free cash yield and requisite debt funding, we find it hard to see the valuation moving higher." Exxon ( XOM ) is unquestionably well-managed, with a healthy balance sheet and offering robust long-term hydrocarbon growth, and as the oil sector behemoth, Q4 results were modestly ahead of the Street, "yet as the major source of this quarter's outperformance evaporates, not least late autumn's exceptional rise in refining margins, we expect profits to normalize with added near-term pressure suggested given guidance for Product Solutions downtime." Shares of oil companies trade mostly higher Tuesday as crude oil futures rebound from sharp declines in the previous session.

fermate/iStock via Getty Images Introduction Ingredion Incorporated ( INGR ) just reported its Q4 and full-year results to a decent reception, which brought its share price up for the day so far. Some markets performed well, while others did not, but overall profitability and the strong balance sheet make it a contender for my diversification efforts. For now, I will stay on the sidelines and will wait to see how 2026 starts off before committing any capital. By The Numbers Looking at the company’s top line, sales came in at $1.76B, down around 2% for the year, and missed estimates by $30m. Texture & Healthful Solutions grew around 2% for the quarter and 1% for the year, coming in at $591m and $2.397B. Food & Industrial Ingredients in the LATAM region performed similarly with $587m for the quarter, and $2.341B for the year. Up 1% for the quarter, and down 4% for the year. The U.S./Canada segment saw sales decline 9% to $463m, and 7% for the full year to around $2B. Onto the company’s profitability, Q4 non-GAAP EPS came in at $2.53, which missed estimates by around 8 cents. Operating income for T&HS declined 4% to $90m for the quarter, but was up a respectable 16% y/y. F&I LATAM saw its operating income increasing 2% for Q4 and the full year. The U.S./Canada was by far the worst performer with 32% decline to $56m for Q4, and 16% decline to $315m. This performance can be attributed to having issues at one of their large manufacturing facilities and a much lower-than-expected beverage and food volume demand. Even with such issues in the U.S./Canada segment, the company managed to increase its total operating income to around $1B, after accounting for some corporate deductions. That’s an increase of 15% y/y, and 36% increase for the quarter. So, the performance could have been much better if it weren’t for U.S. production disruptions at its Argo plant, which saw its performance decline by around 12% for the year, as a fire in the feed dryer halted the entire plant in Q3...

The company doesn't necessarily need a big win with artificial intelligence to relight the fire under this important profit center. Apple (AAPL +0.41%) has finally jumped all the way on the artificial intelligence growth bandwagon. That's the prevailing narrative anyway. Following its recently reported fiscal first quarter's iPhone year-over-year revenue growth of 23%, the market's pretty well convinced the company's shrugged off its shaky iPhone-focused entry into the AI race. Except, that's probably not the case. The suite of tools that make up Apple Intelligence doesn't look markedly different now than it did when it was first launched in October 2024. And, the new-and-improved version of its digital assistant Siri that was promised early last year still isn't available. There's a different reason consumers are suddenly so interested in the iPhone again. And unlike the demand that interest in an AI-powered handheld device might generate, the reason for this sudden swell of buying is apt to persist for at least a few years. That, however, is exactly what Apple and its shareholders should be hoping is the case. Millions overdue for an upgrade First things first. The company's touted comparison in and of itself is a bit misleading. Apple's iPhone revenue may have improved to the tune of 23% for the three-month stretch ended in December, but that doesn't mean it sold 23% more iPhones. Higher average selling prices did the bulk of this heavy lifting. IDC reports that unit sales of the popular smartphone only grew by a little less than 5% to 81.3 million devices. Still, that's big. It's the most iPhones Apple has sold since the middle of the COVID-19 contagion, in fact, when pandemic-disrupted supply chains were finally restored following a years-long lull in demand. And the timeline of this cyclical ebb and flow is no trivial detail, either. It's now been more than four years since we've last seen a measurable spike in iPhone sales. That means iPhones currently in con...

British police are to review fresh allegations that Jeffrey Epstein provided Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor with a woman to have sex with at the Royal Lodge in 2010. The woman has claimed she spent the night at the then prince’s residence in Windsor, her US lawyer, Brad Edwards, said after the allegations surfaced over the weekend. The woman, who is not British, was in her 20s at the time, and was later given a tour of Buckingham Palace, it is further alleged. A Thames Valley police spokesperson said: “We are aware of reports about a woman said to have been taken to an address in Windsor in 2010 for sexual purposes. We are assessing the information in line with our established procedures. “We take any reports of sexual crimes extremely seriously and encourage anyone with information to come forward. At this time, these allegations have not been reported to Thames Valley police by either the lawyer [of the woman] or their client.” Thames Valley are looking at the case as the Royal Lodge is in the area their force. The review does not necessarily mean a criminal investigation will take place. Mountbatten-Windsor has always denied wrongdoing. His involvement with Epstein has resulted in King Charles stripping him of his titles. The latest revelations became public after the US Department of Justice released more documents relating to Epstein and his links to the rich and powerful on Friday. On Tuesday, Andrew’s brother Prince Edward said it was important to “remember the victims”. They were the first public comments by a senior royal since the latest documents were released, which included several new claims about the former Duke of York. Speaking in Dubai, Edward said: “I think it’s all really important, always, to remember the victims and who are the victims in all this.” The latest Epstein documents include photos of Andrew crouched over a woman. The anti-monarchy campaign group Republic had said British police should investigate the claims that Epstein trafficked the w...
