The CEO announced launches and expansion across eMMC, UFS, PCIe client SSD, and MonTitan enterprise SSD controllers, as well as the Ferri automotive portfolio. He stated, "we expect to deliver broad-based growth and to deliver the highest annual revenue in the history of the company in 2026 as we capitalize on multiple new products and execute on our continuing diversification strategy."

Larson reported the launch of new home plans at varying price points, referencing the Emerald Sky home, a "1,600 square foot, 3-bedroom, 2-bath home at a consumer retail price of approximately $185,000," well below the U.S. new home ASP.

Growth was also observed in Taiwan and Peru, with Japan and Colombia experiencing strong increases throughout the year. Sharng explained that restructuring initiatives announced last quarter are now "substantially complete," including relocating about 40% of product sourcing from America to East Asia, expected to reduce tariff uncertainty and streamline logistics while optimizing the workforce and downsizing several offices. "We expect to realize a significant portion of the associated $1.5 million annualized cost savings during 2026." Sharng announced a major 25th anniversary celebration in Hong Kong, expecting 1,500 attendees and signature product launches, indicating these programs are anticipated as a "catalyst for renewed momentum across our products and our business."

He noted that revenue in the primary market of Greater China increased 2% sequentially and highlighted improvements in Taiwan and Peru. Davidson stated, "Gross profit margin was 73.9% in the fourth quarter compared with 74.2% in the fourth quarter of last year due to the write-off of components inventory related to discontinued products and products whose manufacturing has transitioned outside the United States."

Despite a brutal selloff in software stocks ( IGV ), investors shouldn’t panic about capital fleeing equities, according to Keith Lerner, chief investment officer at Truist Wealth. “The money is not leaving the market. It’s just rotating,” Lerner said in an interview with CNBC, pointing to strength in sectors like energy ( XLE ), materials ( XLB ), and industrials ( XLI ) as tech names struggle. The software sector ( IGPT ), ( XSW ), ( IGV ) has been particularly hard hit, with the S&P 1,500 software index underperforming the S&P 500 ( SP500 ) by roughly 27% over the past three months. Lerner noted that investors have to go back to 2000 to find a comparable period of underperformance. The culprit, he explained, is the AI narrative and fears that the technology could disrupt traditional software business models in ways that are difficult to disprove. Importantly, this downturn reflects investor sentiment rather than deteriorating fundamentals. Lerner emphasized that software earnings trends are still moving up and that what the market is experiencing is a “rerating” driven by fear about the future. As evidence, he pointed out that the software index ( IGV ) traded at a 60% premium to the overall market in August but now sits at parity. “It’s the concerns about where those earnings may be going over the next several years,” he said. The rotation is benefiting pro-cyclical areas of the market, with transports ( IYT ), ( XTN ), ( FTXR ), banks ( KBE ), ( KRE ), and industrials ( IYJ ), ( VIS ), ( EXI ) outperforming. The equal-weight S&P 500 ( RSP ) is up 4%, while small caps ( IWM ) have posted even stronger gains, compared to just a 1% rise in the headline index. Lerner said this underlying strength, validated by recent ISM data, signals that an economic uptick is still underway. While Lerner acknowledged that the “rubber band is getting very stressed” in software names and that a mean reversion bounce is likely, he cautioned that any rally would probably be sold into...

NFL: ICE Will Not Be Present At Super Bowl Authored by Jill McLaughlin via The Epoch Times, Federal immigration officers will not make an appearance at the Super Bowl this year, NFL Chief Security Officer Cathy Lanier announced at a news conference on Feb. 2. “There are no planned ICE [Immigration and Customs Enforcement] or immigration enforcement operations that are scheduled around the Super Bowl or any Super Bowl-related events,” Lanier said during the briefing. The Seattle Seahawks will face the New England Patriots in Super Bowl LX on Feb. 8 at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California, about 45 miles south of San Francisco. The NFL’s announcement differed from an earlier statement made by Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem in October 2025, after Super Bowl officials announced that outspoken anti-ICE performer Bad Bunny had been selected as this year’s halftime headliner. Noem told conservative commentator Benny Johnson on his podcast that ICE officers would be present at the event and “all over that place.” President Donald Trump has previously criticized the artists selected to headline the Super Bowl halftime show, noting that both Bad Bunny and Green Day have been outspoken critics of him. “I’m anti-them. I think it’s a terrible choice. All it does is sow hatred. Terrible,” Trump told the New York Post. NFL commissioner Roger Goodell has voiced support for Bad Bunny, who won the Latin Grammy award for Album of the Year on Feb. 1. “We’re confident it’s going to be a great show,” Goodell said. “He understands the platform that he’s on, and I think it’s going to be exciting and a united moment.” Bad Bunny arrives at the 68th annual Grammy Awards in Los Angeles on Feb. 1, 2026. Jordan Strauss/Invision/AP San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie said his priority would be public safety as the city welcomes people from around the world during the Super Bowl. “Our city teams have been preparing for months,” Lurie posted on Feb. 2 on X.

Douglas Cliff/iStock Editorial via Getty Images Article Thesis Novo Nordisk A/S ( NVO ) reported its earnings results on Tuesday, with those results being more or less in line with expectations. Novo Nordisk's guidance for the current year, however, was weaker than what many investors had believed, despite a so-far successful launch of the company's oral weight loss drug. Following the post-earnings selloff of roughly 20%, NVO is not expensive, and its longer-term growth outlook is far from bad, making shares potentially attractive. Past Coverage I have written about Novo Nordisk here on Seeking Alpha in the past, most recently in the fall of 2025 . I recommended buying NVO back then, which has worked out reasonably well, as shares are up from the fall lows, despite the post-earnings price slump we saw this week. With a couple of months having passed since my last article on NVO, and with the company releasing both its Q4 results and its 2026 guidance this week, it's time for me to take another look at NVO today. What Happened? Novo Nordisk released some of its FY2025 results on Tuesday , but had its earnings call on Wednesday, which is when the company also released its full financial statements for the year. The company's shares sold off following the releases, which was, I believe, mainly due to a rather weak guidance for the current year -- shares dropped by around 20% in total on Tuesday and Wednesday. Novo Nordisk's 2025 Results With the most recent report, we now have the full numbers for Novo Nordisk's fiscal year 2025. During the period, the company showed reasonable growth, with revenues climbing by 6% to around 310 billion Danish Krone, which is equivalent to around $49 billion at current exchange rates. At constant currency rates, revenues were up by 10% -- a compelling growth rate, I believe, compared to that of many other big pharma companies. The fact that reported growth, in Danish Krone, was weaker than the company's constant currency growth rate ca...

//php echo do_shortcode('[responsivevoice_button voice="US English Male" buttontext="Listen to Post"]') ?> Texas Instruments, a leading supplier of analog and power chips, is bolstering its embedded processing capabilities by acquiring Silicon Laboratories at a time when the IoT world is remaking itself with edge AI. Silicon Labs’s embedded processors, specializing in wireless connectivity and hardware security, are expected to bolster TI’s presence in IoT and edge AI designs. TI’s CEO, Haviv Ilan, acknowledged embedded processing as the primary driver of this acquisition. TI will acquire the Austin, Texas-based specialist of mixed-signal chips for approximately $7.5 billion; it’s TI’s largest acquisition since it bought National Semiconductor for $6.5 billion in 2011. It’s also another analog-meets-digital story. In a way, it seems a redux of Infineon’s 2020 acquisition of Cypress Semiconductor, which allowed the German chipmaker to venture into the IoT-centric connectivity world that’s gradually advancing toward the edge AI-enabled automotive, consumer, and industrial designs. According to industry insiders, though TI has a significant presence in the embedded processing space, its embedded solutions have a long way to go in IoT silicon and related software tools. On the other hand, Silicon Labs is known for robust software development kits (SDKs) and development tools for its wireless connectivity and hardware security silicon.

格隆汇2月5日｜据AXIOS网站报道，两名美国官员透露，周三，美国方面向伊朗传达了其立场，表示不会同意伊朗提出的更改原定于周五举行的会谈地点和形式的要求。此前，美国和伊朗已决定于周五在伊斯坦布尔举行会晤，其他中东国家将作为观察员参与此次会议。但伊朗方面于周二表示，他们希望将谈判地点改至阿曼，并以双边形式举行，以确保谈判仅聚焦于核问题，而不涉及导弹等美国及该地区其他国家所重视的其他事项。据悉，美国官员曾考虑过改变谈判地点的提议，但于周三决定予以拒绝。一位美国高级官员表示：“我们告诉他们要么这样做，要么什么都不要谈，而他们则说：‘好吧，那就不谈了。’”这位官员表示，如果伊朗方面愿意恢复原来的谈判模式，美国愿意在本周或下周进行谈判。这位高级官员称：“我们希望尽快达成切实的协议，否则人们就会考虑其他选择。”此言暗指特朗普曾多次威胁采取军事行动。

Klaus Vedfelt/DigitalVision via Getty Images Introduction To The iShares Core MSCI EAFE ETF 2025 was a year that reminded investors of the value of diversifying their equity positions internationally, as foreign markets, represented by the iShares Core MSCI Total International Stock ETF ( IXUS ), outpaced returns of the U.S. equity market. Data by YCharts For those seeking international diversification, ETFs have offered opportunities to become more specific than ever without incurring heavy trading fees and costs. The iShares Core MSCI EAFE ETF ( IEFA ) is one such ETF that can offer broad international diversification that's also very specific at the same time. This is a passively managed ETF that tracks large, mid, and small-cap stocks across all developed markets within MSCI's definition, excluding those based in Canada and the United States. It's an ETF that can make a lot of sense for certain investors and not so much for others. In this article, I'll discuss how IEFA operates, some use cases that it might best fit into, and various considerations to help you understand if the ETF is a useful vehicle for your investment purposes. IEFA's Strategy And Investor Suitability Launched on October 18, 2012 , IEFA has since garnered over $173B in AUM. The ETF is fundamentally a low-cost, index fund with an expense ratio of only 0.07% and tracks the MSCI EAFE IMI Index . This index, quote: ".. . captures large, mid and small cap representation across Developed Markets countries around the world, excluding the US and Canada.
