neiu20001/iStock Editorial via Getty Images Yesway Is Growing Profitably Yesway, Inc. ( YSWY ) has filed to raise public capital from an IPO of its Class A common stock, per an S-1 registration statement recently filed with the SEC. The company operates a network of convenience stores mostly in lower-tier and rural markets in the central and southern United States. Revenue is growing moderately, but the firm is profitable and is pursuing both organic growth (new store development) and acquisition growth drivers to expand its footprint. The IPO will likely be in demand from institutional investors, assuming management’s valuation assumptions are reasonable. What Does Yesway Do? Yesway is expanding its network of convenience stores and fueling stations operating via its brands Yesway and Allsup’s. The firm previously began an IPO process in late 2021, as I wrote about here , but ended that process due to unfavorable IPO market conditions at the time. Since then, Yesway has grown its network by a net of 16 stores, while total revenue has risen from a run rate of about $1.6 billion in 2021 to $2.7 billion in 2025, and total liabilities have also risen materially. Operating margin has also increased since the original IPO attempt, as has operating cash flow. The company had 419 stores in seven states as of December 31, 2025, per the map below: SEC Yesway sells both third-party convenience store merchandise and its house brand products. The firm was founded in 2015 by private equity firm Brookwood and has grown substantially through 27 acquisitions while building organically (90 stores by the end of 2025). However, if Yesway wants to expand its geographic footprint, it would have logistics constraints in that it would have to build (or buy) distribution and other capabilities to support the expanded footprint while building brand density for marketing and logistics efficiencies of scale. The company's 2025 revenue contribution by segment is shown in the pie chart below: S...

Michael Allen, a former White House adviser in the Bush administration, said Iran still appears to be in the hands of a hardliners which could mean a more drawn-out conflict and make striking a deal difficult. US President Donald Trump repeated threats to destroy Iranian energy assets if the Strait of Hormuz isn’t reopened soon, raising fears the war could escalate after more American troops arrived in the region. The US “is in serious discussions” with what he called a new regime in Iran to end military operations, Trump said in a social-media post on Monday. But if a deal isn’t reached and Hormuz reopened, “we will conclude our lovely “stay” in Iran by blowing up and completely obliterating all of their Electric Generating Plants, Oil Wells and Kharg Island (and possibly all desalinization plants!).” (Source: Bloomberg)

The White House threatened further escalation of attacks on Iran, including critical civilian energy infrastructure, as the fifth week of war jolts global markets with little sign of relief. President Donald Trump earlier on Monday posted on social media that if Tehran doesn’t re-open the Strait of Hormuz, “we will conclude our lovely ‘stay’ in Iran by blowing up and completely obliterating” electricity plants, oil facilities and “possibly” desalination infrastructure. Trump has regularly vacillated between saying a deal with Iran is imminent and warning he’s prepared to increase the military tempo. The threat to water facilities would constitute a war crime as defined by the Geneva Conventions. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said the US is “conducting more intense, targeted strikes with devastating combat power with each passing day” and the US operations are proceeding “according to plan,” even as she echoed the president in saying talks are on track. The administration hasn’t identified which Iranian officials it’s dealing with, directly or indirectly. Despite the mystery surrounding peace talks, Leavitt said the Iranians were “increasingly eager” to negotiate and agreed to “some of the points” that the US has put forward to end the conflict. Iran has consistently said peace talks aren’t progressing and has signaled it can carry on fighting for much longer. “These folks are appearing more reasonable behind the scenes,” Leavitt added. The back-and-forth on negotiations happened as Israel and Iran exchanged missile strikes. The conflict is threatening to cause severe economic damage around the world , with the closure of the critical Hormuz waterway choking supplies of energy, fertilizer and other critical commodities.

Songwriter and musician best known for the enduring hit Wild Thing, made famous by the Troggs and Jimi Hendrix In a career spanning seven decades, Chip Taylor, who has died aged 86 of cancer, wrote songs recorded by a huge array of artists from Willie Nelson, Linda Ronstadt and the Hollies to Janis Joplin, Frank Sinatra, Aretha Franklin and Emmylou Harris. Yet it was the primitive but irresistible Wild Thing , composed in a matter of minutes, that became his best-known calling card. He wrote it in 1965 when commissioned to write a song for Jordan Christopher and the Wild Ones, but their version was not a hit. However, when the Troggs recorded it the following year it topped the US chart and became a smash around the world. Continue reading...

The purchase, disclosed Friday in an SEC filing, totaled 68,085 shares at about $10 million. Wall Street viewed the purchase as an upbeat sign for the downtrodden sector, lifting shares of Palo Alto 6%. Shares have dropped 15% this year. Cybersecurity stocks have plummeted over the last few months as the software sector falls prey to the narrative that new AI tools will upend their longstanding business models and automate tasks. In February, Anthropic revealed a tool capable of scanning code vulnerabilities that rattled investors. A report that the AI lab is developing a new and more powerful AI model that could make it easier for hackers to attack, fueled panic on Friday. Arora addressed these concerns in a blog post on Monday, arguing that AI labs and cybersecurity businesses should join forces in the industry's "most consequential moment." "The stakes are high," he wrote. "The window to act is open, and we need to act swiftly with intent, together. Over the last year, Arora has ramped up the company's bets on cybersecurity with a massive acquisition of Israeli identity security company CyberArk , which closed in February. The company is also leaning into AI with new automation tools and bought AI observability platform Chronosphere for over $3.3 billion . Okta , CrowdStrike and Netskope rose about 3% on Monday.

Turkey Reports Another Iranian Missile Near-Miss Over NATO Skies Another near-miss has unfolded over NATO skies, with Turkey on Monday announcing that air defenses intercepted a ballistic missile fired from Iran. It's another dangerous indication that the Iran war could easily expand into a broader conflict at any moment. The intercept was carried out by air and missile defense assets positioned in the Eastern Mediterranean , according to the Turkish defense ministry, which offered no further initial details concerning trajectory, type, or what the intended target ultimately was. US Navy image, illustrative This marks the fourth fourth such interception since March of the war and Operation Epic Fury, which has surpassed the one-month mark. The timing is notable given Ankara is simultaneously trying to play middleman between Washington and Tehran, alongside Pakistan where regional diplomats have been trying to jump-start direct Tehran-Washington talks, which has proven elusive. Turkish and NATO officials have struck a familiar tone, describing that "all necessary measures" are being taken to counter threats to Turkish territory and airspace, and further saying that ongoing developments will be "closely monitored". There's been speculation that these ballistic missiles from Iran could be intended for US-British military assets in Cyprus . Earlier in the conflict drones were sent - likely from Iranian allies in Lebanon - onto a British airbase in EU-member Cypriot territory. NATO command has previously stated that "Our deterrence and defense posture remains strong across all domains, including when it comes to air and missile defense." This developing pattern of large Iranian missiles flying over Turkey has raised the potential for invoking NATO Article 5, despite US officials having downplayed this option. During the first incident, Pentagon chief Pete Hegseth had described , "On the matter with Turkey, I'll have to get back to you on exactly what the intercept looked...
