We recently published 10 Big Names With Explosive Gains. Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ:META) was one of the top performers on Thursday. Facebook operator Meta Platforms jumped by 10.40 percent on Thursday to close at $738.31 apiece as investors took heart from an investment firm’s 9 percent price target upgrade for its stock despite reporting lower profits in full-year 2025. In its market report, BofA Securities raised its price target for the stock to $885 from $810 previously, while reaffirming its “buy” recommendation, noting that AI is driving returns for the tech giant more than its peers.

The U.S. will seek to reach consensus with allies on a pricing mechanism to help insulate rare earth mineral refiners and extractors during meetings with dozens of foreign ministers in Washington next week, a senior Trump administration official told Bloomberg News. In an interview on Thursday, US Under Secretary of State for Economic Affairs Jacob Helberg said he expects a lot of “momentum and excitement” toward “agreeing on a pricing mechanism that we can all coordinate together on in order to ensure price stability for people in the mineral refining and extraction business.” The move follows a late-Wednesday selloff in rare earth stocks after Reuters reported that the Trump administration had stepped back from plans to guarantee minimum prices for U.S. critical minerals projects. U.S. mining and processing companies have pushed for price floors and other government backstops to help them compete with China, whose state-backed producers can cut prices to punish rivals, undercut projects, and deter private investment.

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.

It Is Still A Little Sad, Says Elon Musk Responding to a post on the social media platform X on Wednesday, Musk shared that it was sad to see the two models being pulled out of the automaker's lineup. "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, ...
