Earnings Call Insights: First Internet Bancorp (INBK) Q4 2025 Management View David Becker, Chairman & CEO, stated, "We are pleased to close 2025 with strong fourth quarter results that demonstrate the power of our differentiated digital banking model. Our core business fundamentals remain robust with quarterly revenue up 21% over the prior year period." Becker highlighted a 30% net interest income increase year-over-year, consistent net interest margin expansion, and disciplined expense management. He also referenced the strategic sale of approximately $850 million in single-tenant lease financing loans to Blackstone, stating it "strengthened our capital position, enhanced our rate risk profile and accelerated our progress towards achieving a 1% return on average assets." Becker remarked on Banking-as-a-Service (BaaS) growth, with over $1.3 billion in new deposits for 2025 and processing of $165 billion in payments, marking a 225% increase from 2024. He emphasized that "these partnerships have evolved to become true strategic revenue drivers through reoccurring transaction fees, program management fees and interest income." He further addressed credit challenges, noting, "our credit issues are isolated to 2 specific portfolios, SBA and franchise finance," and guided to a higher provision for credit losses in 2026 than initially estimated. Nicole Lorch, President, COO & Corporate Secretary, discussed the SBA segment, noting $8.6 million in secondary market sales for SBA loans through November and December despite a prolonged government shutdown. Lorch stated, "we are strategically realigning our SBA production with our enhanced and more stringent underwriting guidelines," targeting $500 million in originations for 2026 and providing estimated gain on sale revenue of $19 million to $20 million, down from $29.4 million in 2025. She highlighted the bank's BaaS platform, saying, "our payment processing volumes continue to reach impressive scale. We facilitated $65 billi...

Niger’s military ruler Abdourahamane Tiani on Thursday blamed the French, Benin and Ivory Coast presidents for sponsoring the attack on Niamey international airport, an accusation he made without offering any evidence. Gunfire and loud explosions echoed around Niger’s international airport in Niamey shortly before midnight in what two security sources described as a “terrorist attack”, before calm returned to the capital on Thursday morning. Tiani accused French President Emmanuel Macron, Benin’s Patrice Talon, and Ivory Coast President Alassane Ouattara by name, while speaking on Niger’s state television after visiting the airbase. He vowed retaliation. Advertisement “We have heard them bark, they should be ready to hear us roar,” he said, signalling further worsening of the relationship between the Sahel nation, its neighbours he sees as French proxies in the region, and the former colonial power.

Donald Trump has warned the UK against doing business with China, just hours after Keir Starmer lauded the economic relationship during a landmark visit to Beijing. The US president said it was “very dangerous” for the UK to pursue closer ties with the rival superpower as the prime minister’s three-hour talks with leader Xi Jinping underlined a thaw in previously strained relations. Starmer, the first British prime minister to travel to Beijing in eight years, promised a “more sophisticated” relationship with China, as he secured improved market access, lower tariffs and investment deals. But in Washington, replying to questions about Starmer’s attempts at an economic reset, Trump said: “Well, it’s very dangerous for them to do that.” His remarks could create nerves inside Downing Street given the US president’s unpredictability and long-held hostility towards China. One official said the US had been aware of the trip and the UK’s objectives in advance. After his talks with Xi at the Great Hall of the People on Thursday, Starmer said the UK’s relationship with China was in a “good, strong place”, and that his meetings had provided “just the level of engagement that we hoped for”. “We warmly engaged and made some real progress, actually, because the UK has got a huge amount to offer,” he told a meeting of the UK-China Business Forum at the Bank of China in Beijing. The chair of the British Chamber of Commerce in China, Chris Torrens, said Starmer’s visit to Beijing was “successful”, telling the BBC: “It makes sense for UK to be looking to China, it’s one of its larger trading partners.” The UK prime minister was later due to travel to Shanghai before leaving for Tokyo to meet his Japanese counterpart Sanae Takaichi for a working dinner. He is just the latest western leader to have visited Beijing in recent weeks looking to build ties with the world’s second largest economy, and to hedge against an unpredictable US president. It comes amid Trump’s on-off threats of tr...

Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA) will stop producing the Model S, as well as the Model X, CEO Elon Musk confirmed during the company's fourth-quarter earnings call. Tesla Ends Model S, Model X Production During Tesla's Q4 earnings call on Wednesday, Musk relayed the news to investors and analysts that the automaker would be scrapping its two premium offerings. "It’s time to bring the Model S and X programs to an end with an honorable discharge," Musk said, adding that Tesla intends to "basically stop production" of the vehicles next quarter. The company has delivered an estimated 730,000 to 740,000 units of both cars since their introduction in 2012 and 2016. Don't Miss: Missed Nvidia and Tesla? RAD Intel Could Be the Next AI Powerhouse — Just $0.85 a 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? Musk also outlined that the Model S and X production at the Fremont, California, facility would be converted to produce the Optimus humanoid robot as Tesla shifts "to an autonomous future." Speaking of which, Musk also shared that the Cybertruck would be converted to a "fully autonomous line" in the future, adding that it could be used for transporting cargo autonomously. The Cybertruck has been a miss for Tesla so far, with the company struggling to move units off the showroom lots and sales declining consistently. In 2025, the Cybertruck experienced a 48% plunge in sales.

"S and X will always continue to exist in the fleet, just not in production, but it is still a little sad," he said. S and X will always continue to exist in the fleet, ...

The UK and mainland China are considering a new cross-border asset-management link and upgrades to their existing stock connect scheme, as both sides seek closer capital-market cooperation, according to Ashley Alder, chairman of the UK’s Financial Conduct Authority (FCA). “We are looking at enhancing market connectivity between China and the UK, particularly by building on the stock connect with Shanghai and Shenzhen,” Alder said. “In addition, we are exploring other areas of cooperation, such as asset management.” He made the remarks in an exclusive interview with the SCMP in Hong Kong on Wednesday, ahead of his departure for Beijing as part of a business delegation accompanying UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer on a four-day visit to China – the first such trip by a British prime minister in eight years. Advertisement Alder is travelling with UK Treasury minister Lucy Rigby and is scheduled to meet mainland regulators including the China Securities Regulatory Commission and the National Financial Regulatory Administration (NFRA) to discuss measures to strengthen cross-border trading links and regulatory cooperation. He previously spent three decades in Hong Kong, serving as CEO of the Securities and Futures Commission from 2011 to 2022. Advertisement During that time, he worked with mainland authorities on several cross-border market access programmes, including connect schemes for stocks, bonds, exchange-traded funds and wealth-management products. He said UK and Chinese authorities were now studying whether to create a framework similar to the Greater Bay Area’s wealth-management connect scheme – launched in 2021 – that would allow mainland investors to access UK-based asset-management and retirement products.

A controversial Trump administration deal to relocate deportees from the US to the small Pacific nation of Palau faces an uncertain future, after the senate voted to block the deal as concern about the agreement grows. The deal, which allows up to 75 third-country migrants facing removal from the US to live and work in Palau, was signed by president Surangel Whipps Jr in December. Palau’s lower house now has to consider the deal, and the final decision rests with Whipps Jr. The arrangement is part of a broader assistance package to Palau, including $2m for security initiatives and $7.5m tied to the resettlement of the third-country nationals. But in January, Palau’s senate voted to block the resettlement deal and propose a public referendum on the issue. Palauans would be asked whether their country should accept non-Palauan individuals who have been removed from the US. The referendum would be non-binding but lawmakers said it would “serve as guidance to the national government in determining whether to accept any individuals” under the US deal. In a written statement to the Guardian, Whipps Jr said the deal with the US will offer “a lawful, humane solution that respects our people, our laws, and our limited capacity as a small island nation”. Still, the deal to resettle US deportees to Palau has drawn sharp opposition from the country’s traditional leaders and lawmakers since the Trump administration approached Palau in July 2025. In letters to the president, the Council of Chiefs – an influential group which brings together Palau’s 16 tribal chiefs – said the country was “not ready, willing, and prepared to venture into this new area of responsibility”. It warned that allowing deportees into Palau risked undermining the country’s social cohesion and cultural values. “We were taken by surprise when a signed MOU [memorandum of understanding] between our government and the US embassy was brought to our attention very recently,” the Council of Chiefs said in a letter...

Davos 2026: Acknowledging The End Of Pax Americana Authored by Ret. Admiral Cem Gürdeniz via Michel Chossudovsky's substack, The end of the Pax Americana established after 1945 was officially acknowledged by both the leaders of finance capital and the elected leaders in Davos 26. The World Economic Forum (WEF) 2026 in Davos, which has served as the vision and doctrine center of global capitalism for half a century, was held between January 19–23 under the theme “A Spirit of Dialogue.” At what was arguably the most significant meeting in its history, the end of the Pax Americana established after 1945 was officially acknowledged by both the leaders of finance capital and the elected leaders of states inheriting Europe’s colonial-imperial legacy, notably France, Germany, and the United Kingdom. Another point openly recognized was the end of globalization and neoliberalism . Representatives of finance capital emphasized that political and economic elites had lost public trust and conceded that the neoliberal order had reached the stage of collapse due to the unsustainability of income inequality. Politicians, for their part, admitted that law has increasingly been replaced by force and that the so‑called rules‑based international order is partly a fiction, as great powers suspend rules whenever it suits their interests. Among these statements, perhaps the most unsettling for Donald Trump came from Canada. The Canadian Prime Minister, whom Trump had explicitly included within the Western Hemisphere in his revised national security doctrine and openly threatened, acknowledged that the narrative of a rules‑based order is fictional. He stated that finance, trade, energy, and supply chains no longer function as mechanisms of mutual benefit but as tools of pressure and weaponization, and that the Western world is not undergoing a transition but an open rupture. This was, in fact, an inevitable outcome of geopolitical realities and the interests of finance capital. The Forced...

Precision components maker Indo-MIM Ltd. is preparing to launch its initial public offering in India seeking to raise as much as $700 million at a reduced valuation, according to people familiar with the matter. The company has begun meetings with potential investors for an offering as early as next month, the people said, asking not to be identified as the information is private. Indo-MIM has lowered its valuation target to about $2.5 billion from an earlier $3.2 billion, they said. Deliberations are ongoing and details including the valuation and timing may change, the people said. A spokesperson for the company didn’t respond to requests for comment. Indian IPOs are off to a weak start of 2026 — having set a record for proceeds last year — as a downturn in the secondary market is prompting companies to delay listing plans and wait for better valuation. Only three IPOs were launched in January, with Shadowfax Technologies Ltd., Amagi Media Labs Ltd. and Bharat Coking Coal Ltd. raising a combined 47.65 billion rupees ($518 million), according to data compiled by Bloomberg. More than 110 companies have already received regulatory approvals for the IPOs, according to the Sebi data. Indo-MIM’s proposed offering will include the sale of new shares worth about 10 billion rupees, along with a secondary sale of roughly 129.67 million shares or 26% of the total equity capital by existing investors, including the Indian Institute of Technology Madras, according to the company’s draft prospectus. The company manufactures precision engineering components using metal injection molding technology, according to its website. It operates 15 manufacturing facilities, including six in India, six in the US, two in the UK and one in Mexico, the prospectus shows. Net proceeds from the offering will be used to repay outstanding borrowings and for general corporate purposes. The company reported revenue from operations of 33.30 billion rupees for the fiscal year ended March 2025 and a ne...

Dalin Ou/iStock via Getty Images Overview After observing different option ETFs for the last few years, I've come to the conclusion that the FT Vest Technology Dividend Target Income ETF ( TDVI ) is one of the highest quality choices out there. While the fund isn't perfect, I believe that it is one of the few high-yield ETFs that can be a suitable buy-and-hold position for long-term investors. When I previously covered TDVI, I issued a strong buy rating due to its outperformance against peers and efficient portfolio strategy. Now that we've crossed into the new year, I wanted to revisit TDVI to discuss what investors should expect from the fund looking forward. Looking at the performance over the last twelve months, we can see how TDVI's share price has increased by nearly 17%. The fund has demonstrated its ability to participate in market rallies, despite the inclusion of an option writing strategy. When including all distributions that were paid out, the total return jumps up to 25.6% over the same time frame. TDVI now offers investors a starting dividend yield of 7.4% while issuing payouts on a monthly basis. Although the fund's operating history is short, TDVI has maintained an attractive level of payout consistency over time. Data by YCharts While I believe that TDVI is a great long-term holding, there are some risks and tradeoffs that investors should consider. For instance, TDVI is likely to underperform standard growth ETFs over time. Additionally, the heavy focus on technology stocks means that TDVI is vulnerable to a sentiment shift in the sector. If technology stocks pull back from their highs, TDVI's share price and distributions are likely to decline in an unfavorable cycle. So let's start by taking a look at the underlying strategy that TDVI implements to generate its amplified income. Fund Strategy According to the latest fund overview , TDVI has total net assets of $273.8M that are spread across 93 different positions. The fund's primary objective is...
