Andrzej Rostek/iStock via Getty Images Co-authored by Relative Value. Overview With this, we continue our series of articles, focused on the new fixed-income financial products on the exchange. This time, we'll apply our IPO evaluation methodology to the latest listed product of Rithm Capital ( RITM ) - the 8.75% Fixed-Rate Reset Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series F ( RITM.PR.F ). Following our routine, we'll first analyze the financial state of the issuer to assess the potential dangers (if any) of investing in its preferred equity. Next, we'll continue with peers from the sector comparison to assess the investment qualities of RITM-F in a relative value analysis. The New Issue The prospectus contains all relevant information regarding the new preferred stock. Here, we will focus on only the metrics that are most important for our analysis. RITM-F description (QuantumOnline) RITM-F will pay a 8.75% annual fixed cumulative dividend, non-eligible for the preferential income tax, in $0.5469 quarterly distributions until its call date on 02/15/2031. After that, if the preferred is not redeemed, the annual dividend will be equal to the five-year U.S. Treasury rate on the applicable reset calculation date plus a fixed spread of 5.009%, resetting every five years thereafter. The distributions will begin on May 15, 2026, meaning that the first dividend will be irregular in size and will amount to approximately $0.6927 per share. The security had no stated maturity date and was not credit-rated by any of the big rating agencies at the time of its IPO. Rithm Capital's gross proceeds from the new security are $250 million for a total of 10 million preferred stocks issued with a liquidation value of $25 each. As the issue is just listed on the exchange, its price chart looks like this: RITM-F price chart (TradingView) Currently, RITM-F is priced at $24.77, with a current yield of 8.83% and a yield to call calculated by the XIRR function of 9.33%: RITM-F YTC calculati...

Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN) is asking U.S. regulators for more time to meet a key satellite deployment milestone, arguing that launch bottlenecks and industry-wide disruptions are slowing the rollout of its Starlink rival, Amazon Leo. Amazon Says Rocket Shortages Are Slowing Leo Rollout Amazon has formally requested a two-year extension from the Federal Communications Commission to meet a deadline requiring the company to deploy roughly 1,600 internet satellites by July 2026, according to a filing made public Friday. The company said delays beyond its control — including a near-term shortage of available rockets, manufacturing disruptions, and setbacks involving new launch vehicles — have hindered progress on its low Earth orbit satellite network, rebranded as Amazon Leo. Don't Miss: The AI Marketing Platform Backed by Insiders from Google, Meta, and Amazon — Invest at $0.85/Share If there was a new fund backed by Jeff Bezos offering a 7-9% target yield with monthly dividends would you invest in it? Leo, formerly Project Kuiper, is "producing satellites considerably faster than others can launch them," Amazon wrote in the filing, pointing to grounded rockets, extended development timelines, and limited spaceport capacity as key constraints. Amazon is asking the FCC to either extend the deadline to July 2028 or waive the requirement that roughly half of its planned 3,236-satellite constellation be deployed by 2026. $10 Billion Satellite Internet Bet Faces Industry Bottlenecks Unveiled in 2019, Amazon Leo is designed to deliver high-speed, low-latency broadband to consumers, businesses, and governments using square-shaped user terminals. Amazon has committed at least $10 billion to the project. While the company has booked more than 100 launches — including additional missions with SpaceX, Blue Origin, and Arianespace — it said many next-generation rockets have taken longer than expected to reach full operational readiness.

Artificial intelligence (AI) may look automated, but it runs on human labour. Behind every chatbot and image generator are thousands of people labelling images, tagging text, moderating content and training systems to understand language and culture. This invisible workforce has quietly become a critical layer of the global AI economy. India has emerged as a major hub for this work. Its large English-speaking workforce and long history in information technology outsourcing have made it a go-to location for data annotation, content moderation and AI training support. However, much of this labour is low-paid and contract-based, raising questions about whether India merely risks becoming a data labour back office. By contrast, China is moving to formalise and scale data labelling. Policymakers are encouraging the structured annotation of data to feed domestic AI development . This state-backed approach treats data and labelling not as peripheral tasks, but as strategic infrastructure, helping Chinese firms build systems tailored to local industries and governance needs. Advertisement As AI increasingly enters everyday life, it depends on a vast, largely invisible workforce. By 2022, India’s data annotation industry was estimated to be worth US$250 million, employing 70,000 people, with 60 per cent of its business coming from US companies. Most workers are first-generation annotators; 80 per cent of them are from rural backgrounds. Most of these centres are staffed by women. In one lab, the entire staff consisted of women, with most of them being college-educated, former stay-at-home wives. Companies like iMerit and Niki.ai have established centres in the states of Odisha, Chhattisgarh and Jharkhand to tap into the Adivasi and other marginalised communities.

Construction has resumed on four offshore wind mega-projects after they survived a near fatal attack by Donald Trump’s administration thanks to rulings by federal judges. These are being seen as victories for clean energy amid a wider war being waged on it by the Trump administration. The wind farms are considered critical by grid planners as America faces an energy affordability crisis. Together, the four projects will contribute nearly five gigawatts of energy to the east coast, enough to power 3.5 million homes. In December, the Trump administration issued an order halting the construction of five offshore wind projects along the east coast, citing “reasons of national security”. On 9 January, during a White House meeting with oil and gas executives, the president said: “My goal is to not let any windmill be built. They’re losers.” But in mid-January, federal judges rejected the administration’s claims and allowed construction to resume on four of the five projects. Work began immediately on Vineyard Wind, Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind, Empire Wind 1 and Revolution Wind. A fifth project, Sunrise Wind, is also fighting the stop work order and has a court hearing on Monday that industry experts believe will have a positive outcome. Judges across different jurisdictions ruled against the Trump administration. “This is a broad rejection of the administration’s arguments,” said John Carlson, the senior north-east regional policy manager for the climate nonprofit Clean Air Task Force. The stop-work order argued that wind turbines could interfere with military radar, but Carlson said it was a pretext to undermine wind power. “All these projects already went through very significant national security reviews,” he said. “He’s losing in court, and I think he will continue losing in court. But that’s not the entire playing field,” Carlson noted. To the wind industry, the court rulings are bittersweet. Trump may be losing the court battle against offshore projects already u...

In this article CTRA DVN Follow your favorite stocks CREATE FREE ACCOUNT Devon Energy's Jackfish Projects processing plant in Alberta, Canada. Jimmy Jeong | Bloomberg | Getty Images U.S. shale producers Devon Energy and Coterra Energy are set to merge in a $58 billion all-stock deal to create one of the largest independent shale producers in the country, the companies said on Monday. A merger between Devon and Coterra brings complementary acreage together at a time when securing high-quality inventory is a priority and crude prices remain under pressure. Coterra shareholders will receive 0.70 Devon shares for each share held. This deal is the largest tie-up in the U.S. shale industry since Diamondback acquired Endeavor Energy Resources for about $26 billion in 2024. After the merger, Devon will hold roughly 54% of the new company, which will retain the Devon name and be headquartered in Houston while maintaining a major presence in Oklahoma City.

FAIR LAWN, N.J., Feb. 02, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Columbia Financial, Inc. (the “Company”) (NASDAQ: CLBK), the mid-tier holding company for Columbia Bank ("Columbia"), reported net income of $15.7 million, or $0.15 per basic and diluted share, for the quarter ended December 31, 2025, as compared to a net loss of $21.2 million, or $0.21 per basic and diluted share, for the quarter ended December 31, 2024. Earnings for the quarter ended December 31, 2025 reflected higher net interest income due to both an increase in interest income and a decrease in interest expense, a decrease in provision for credit losses and higher non-interest income, partially offset by higher income tax expense. During the fourth quarter of 2024, as previously disclosed, the Company restructured its balance sheet by selling debt securities available for sale and prepaying higher cost borrowings, which resulted in a pre-tax loss of $37.9 million. For the quarter ended December 31, 2025, the Company reported core net income of $15.9 million, an increase of $4.5 million, or 39.6%, compared to core net income of $11.4 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2024. (Refer to "Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures" for a reconciliation of GAAP net income to core net income.) The positive impact of the balance sheet repositioning transaction in 2024 significantly contributed to the net interest margin expansion in the 2025 period.

Sjors Hardholt/iStock via Getty Images Introduction Last year, I started using some Goldman Sachs research in my outlook, as the investment bank made the case for a “lost decade.” Their view was based on the market’s elevated valuation, which could offset earnings growth and lead to subdued returns. The Goldman Sachs strategist, who correctly predicted Wall Street’s underperformance this year, sees US equities continuing to lag other markets for the next decade. Oppenheimer and his team expect the S&P 500 to achieve annual returns of 6.5% in the coming 10 years, the weakest among all regions. Emerging markets are projected to be strongest, at 10.9% a year. - Bloomberg Bloomberg Meanwhile, people like Ed Yardeni make the case we’re in the “ Roaring 20s. ” As a lot has happened in recent weeks, I’m using this opportunity to explain why both make great points and how this can help us generate alpha in this market or simply achieve our personal goals much more easily. So, as we have a lot to discuss, let’s keep this intro short and get right to it! The Valuation Story - The Bad News Valuations are important. I have often explained this based on single stocks. For example, if Company A grows its earnings per share by 5% per year forever, its stock price rises by 5% per year as well if we ignore any valuation changes. However, if its valuation multiple drops, the return falls, as this headwind offsets some earnings gains. That’s basically Goldman Sachs’ argument in a nutshell. And, historically speaking, the relationship between the market’s longer-term performance and its starting valuations (see below) confirms that this is an important factor. JPMorgan As the market currently trades at 22.0x earnings, there’s a clear case to be made that we’re in for some trouble down the road. Historically speaking, of course. FactSet But that’s just a part of the story. If I were to use this info only, I could write a super bearish article, annoy many readers, and get many views. But...

jamesteohart/iStock Editorial via Getty Images Context When I last covered the stock (with a hold rating), MINISO Group Holding Limited ( MNSO ) was on a roll, trading slightly above fair value. Since then, fundamentals and valuations have flipped, with revenues and free cash flow continuing to grow, but the stock has declined by 20% over the past year. This drop was partly driven by investor concerns over competition from rival Pop Mart, which shot to fame thanks to their proprietary Labubu IP, which became a viral phenomenon, as well as by Miniso’s surprising CNY 6 billion investment in struggling Chinese supermarket chain Yonghui Superstores in 2024. Despite the drop, the stock is not a bargain and appears to be fairly valued. Business context Miniso is a trendy retailer of branded IP products and merchandise such as plushies, personal accessories (such as fragrances and bags), stationery, ‘kidult’ collectibles and blind boxes among other items, designed in-house in collaboration with partners like The Walt Disney Company ( DIS ), Sanrio Company, Ltd. ( SNROF ), Mattel, Inc.'s ( MAT ) Barbie, and Nintendo Co., Ltd.'s ( NTDOY ) Pokémon . Their products are mostly sold through their network of offline stores worldwide under the Miniso banner ( 7,800 stores at the end of September 2025), and to a lesser extent through their new Top Toy banner (300 stores). The vast majority of stores are operated under a retail partner model, with under 10% operated directly by Miniso. Financial context Revenues continue to grow (based on the latest figures, for the first nine months of 2025, revenues rose over 20%), with gross margins remaining unchanged at 44%. Net margins, however, dropped to about 9% from around 14% the same period last year, weighed down by net interest costs of over CNY 200 million or approximately 1.5% of revenues (owing to debt of more than CNY 5 billion taken in late 2024 to fund the purchase of Yonghui Superstores), in contrast to the previous year when th...

Explicit goal: China's Xi signals a push for renminbi reserve currency status as Beijing eyes bigger role in global finance. Volatility spike The precious metals rally has been a wild one over the past three months. Gold ( XAUUSD:CUR ) first broke through the $4,000 barrier in early October, hit $4,500/oz by late December, and went on to top $5,000 and then $5,500 in the span of a few days in January. Silver ( XAGUSD:CUR ) has also seen tremendous gains, flying from an already elevated $50 to near $120 per ounce over the same timeframe. Too far, too fast: There were definitely catalysts to the rally, like central bank buying, debt and dollar concerns, and geopolitical tensions. However, anything that records such outsized returns during such a quick period is poised for a serious pullback, with gold and silver tumbling by 16% and 34% , respectively, over the past two sessions. A Warsh-led Fed and profit-taking were said to prompt the selling, as well as crowded and leveraged trading that saw the CME Group raise its margin requirements on precious metals.
