Once Upon a Farm (OFRM) stock rose 16.9% in its market debut on Friday, as the Jennifer Garner-backed kids' food brand went public amid a pickup in IPO activity on Wall Street. The premium kids' food company is known for its products, ranging from refrigerated pouches and oat bars to protein bars, puffs, and melts. Its core consumer is kids between the ages of two and five. In the first half of 2025, the company's sales hit $201.6 million, up 64.6% from 2018, as it expanded its offerings and footprint. In 2017, Garner and industry veteran John Foraker joined the company as co-founders alongside Cassandra Curtis, who founded the company in 2015. Garner said at the time that she saw a "tiny little company" that offered organic, fresh, refrigerated food that she struggled to find as a mom. Upon meeting Foraker, she said the two shook hands, and the rest is history. The company continues to evolve its product lineup, with a particular focus on protein as Americans dramatically increase their consumption of the macronutrient. "We're raising our kids alongside our consumers, so we know that protein is ... at the forefront of their minds," Garner said.

REUTERS/Brendan McDermid/File Photo · Reuters / Reuters A majority of the company's sales are made at retailers like Target (TGT), Whole Foods (AMZN), Kroger (KR), Walmart (WMT), and wholesale clubs like Costco (COST), Sam's Club, and BJ's Wholesale Club(BJ). The company sources about 40% of its ingredients from foreign suppliers, but about 98% of packaging is sourced domestically. Foraker said tariffs "had a little impact" on the business and said the company has the ability to move sourcing, especially if a crop fails in a particular country. No stranger to the public markets, Foraker took another organic foods company, Annie's, public...

fokkebok/iStock via Getty Images I last wrote about Clearway Energy ( CWEN ) in August of 2023. There are 3 big changes since then which I think warrant a new thesis: The stock price is up substantially with the cheaper A shares ( CWEN .A) now trading at a 16.3X CAFD. Demand for incremental power development has become ubiquitous. Power purchase agreement ( PPA ) pricing has nearly doubled which has implications for both going in yield and rollover organic growth. I believe changes 2 and 3 make CWEN capable of hitting its recently issued ambitious growth guidance and that the guided growth rate fully justifies the now higher multiple. CWEN long-run guidance Clearway Energy put out some ambitious guidance with a 2030 Cash Available For Distribution (CAFD) of $2.90-$3.10 indicating a 7%-8% CAGR through 2030. CWEN Growth at that pace is quite unusual for a yield-co with a large dividend. The whole point of a yield-co is to own assets with steady cashflows. The yield-co then uses those cashflows to pay consistently large dividends to investors which means they have minimal retained cashflows with which to purchase more cashflows. Given that structure, growth in the 7%-8% range indicated by their guidance is generally not possible. However, this is an environment in which energy is in exceptionally high demand and CWEN has considerable expertise in developing large scale energy assets. In this article we will examine the plausibility of CWEN’s growth ambitions and evaluate CWEN’s total return prospects in the event they can hit their target. Ubiquitous demand with limited providers Decades of aggregate power demand being largely flat significantly tamped down America’s capabilities to build new power sources. Few entities retained active development pipelines and the building plans that do exist are slowed by cumbersome regulatory pipelines. As most of you know, the buildout of AI has broken the trend of flat electricity demand. Suddenly we need to rapidly increase capac...

Just days after Chinese leader Xi Jinping and US President Donald Trump held a two-hour phone call aimed at stabilising bilateral ties, the US confirmed it would play an active role at this year’s first Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation senior officials’ meetings in Guangzhou, signalling intensified engagement with Beijing. The US State Department announced on Friday that a “team of experts”, led by senior US official Casey Mace and Acting Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for Oceans and International Environmental and Scientific Affairs Ruth Perry, would use the gathering to advance the Trump administration’s “America first” foreign policy priorities. The US delegation aims to “deepen efforts to open Asian markets to American exports” and promote deregulation and US-friendly business policies, the note said.

FULL EVENT: US President Donald Trump speaks at Davos FULL EVENT: US President Donald Trump speaks at Davos By “promoting American technology and industry”, the administration said it was seeking to “open new markets in Asia”, “restore a level playing field for American companies” and support “good jobs at home”, while also “leading international efforts to protect the environment”.

(RTTNews) - In a recent federal case heard in Arizona, a US jury has ordered ride-hailing company Uber (UBER) to pay $8.5 million in damages to a woman who reported being raped by a driver while using Uber's services in 2023. The jury found Uber liable under the "apparent agency" doctrine, meaning the company was responsible for the driver's actions while he was working on its behalf. The jury rejected Uber's claims that it was negligent or that its safety systems were defective, and declined to award punitive damages. However, Uber has stated that it plans to appeal the verdict. This case is one of several bellwether trials expected to shape outcomes in thousands of similar lawsuits filed against the company over alleged sexual assaults by Uber drivers.

XRP is soaring 24.1% today as Bitcoin stages a dramatic comeback. XRP (CRYPTO: XRP) is flying today, up 24.1% in the last 24 hours as of 5:05 p.m. ET on Friday. The massive gain is part of a larger rally across the cryptocurrency market after Bitcoin managed to reverse weeks of painful losses that brought it near $60,000 for the first time since the fall of 2024. Expand CRYPTO : XRP XRP Today's Change ( 25.47 %) $ 0.30 Current Price $ 1.48 Key Data Points Market Cap $90B Day's Range $ 1.14 - $ 1.53 52wk Range $ 1.14 - $ 3.65 Volume 14B Bitcoin rises, and XRP follows As Bitcoin goes, so too do altcoins -- at least the vast majority of the time. That was on display today, as there was no significant news driving the gain for XRP specifically. The recent Bitcoin meltdown was intensified by a larger sell-off in the tech market as investors grow weary of what some see as runaway artificial intelligence (AI) spending. A fresh round of earnings shows capital expenditures from big tech companies continuing to balloon to record levels. The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite lost nearly 4.5% from Monday through Thursday of this week, only to rally 2.1% on Friday. Is XRP a buy? While the technology surrounding XRP is extremely useful to banks that use it, its continued adoption won't necessarily lead to XRP rising in value, despite what bulls believe. I think much of its current valuation is built on hype, and that hype will inevitably fade. I would stay away from XRP.

Jim Cramer is urging Amazon investors to remain patient and trust the cloud and e-commerce company's massive spending strategy despite the evident risks it poses to profits. "I have total faith," Jim said on Friday's "Squawk on the Street." "[Amazon CEO Andy Jassy] knows how to do this. So, I believe, and I'm not bolting." Amazon shares fell 5.6% on Friday to $210 each after management issued the evening before a 2026 capital expenditures guide of $200 billion, compared to the $146.6 billion expected. The company also issued a lower-than-expected earnings outlook for the current quarter. Speaking to investors during their post-earnings conference call on Thursday, the team said a large part of that spending will go toward Amazon Web Services infrastructure, AI capabilities, and custom chips to meet rising cloud demand. Jassy touted the company's Trainium custom chips as a key pillar of AWS's strategy to make AI workloads more affordable. He said there is "very strong demand" for Trainium3 — the latest iteration – with nearly all supply expected to be committed by mid-year. He added that customers are already expressing strong interest in Trainium4, which is still in development. Outside spending and guidance, Amazon's reported fourth quarter results were solid, with revenue and operating income beating expectations. Amazon Web Services cloud growth accelerated to 24% year over year, the fastest pace in 13 quarters. "I don't want to get too negative [on Amazon] … only because it does sound like they have it in the backlog," Jeff Marks, portfolio director for the Club, said Friday. AWS backlog reached $244 billion for the quarter, up 40% year over year and 22% quarter over quarter. Marks also noted that margins in the cloud unit are strong, which tells investors that "there's no wasted capacity and it is running as efficiently as possible." However, Amazon's higher-than-expected capex implies it will have very little cash flow in the coming quarters. Going into Amazon...

Key Points Opendoor stock achieved meme-stock status and posted massive gains in 2025. The company's sales are declining, and efficiency improvements may not be enough to make the stock a long-term winner. 10 stocks we like better than Opendoor Technologies › Opendoor Technologies (NASDAQ: OPEN) made waves in the stock market last year with some incredibly volatile moves. Despite some big pullbacks, the company's share price is still up more than 260% over the last 12 months of trading. On the other hand, the stock is also down 52% from its 52-week high. Opendoor is aiming to carry out a major turnaround strategy and energize its iBuyer real estate business, but some big questions remains about whether the comeback play will pan out. Does Opendoor have what it takes to disrupt the real estate industry, or is the stock just another value trap? Will AI create the world's first trillionaire? Our team just released a report on the one little-known company, called an "Indispensable Monopoly" providing the critical technology Nvidia and Intel both need. Continue » What's next for Opendoor? To chart what might come next for Opendoor, it's a good idea to put its big stock gains over the last year in context. The company's huge valuation run up over the last year was heavily powered by meme-stock momentum. Opendoor's share price surged last year after EMJ Capital founder and president Eric Jackson championed the stock as a potentially massive winner. But while the stock saw massive gains in conjunction with achieving hot meme-stock status, actual business performance was less flashy. Opendoor posted sales of roughly $915 million in last year's third quarter -- down substantially from the roughly $1.38 billion in revenue it recorded in the prior-year period. Meanwhile, gross profit came in at roughly $66 million -- down from $105 million in the prior-year quarter. In addition to the sales decline in the period, gross margin deteriorated to 7.2% from 7.6% in the previous year'...

The job is not done yet, far from it. But on a rainswept evening in West Yorkshire, the collective response from everyone associated with Leeds United for each of their goals left you in no doubt that this had the whiff of a season-defining night. With Leeds and Nottingham Forest sitting an advantageous but not decisive six points above the relegation zone before kick-off, and 18th-placed West Ham United away to Burnley on Saturday, it felt like both these famous old clubs knew victory here could dramatically shape the remaining three months of the campaign. For 20 minutes or so, it was unpredictable, end-to-end and pretty breathless viewing. But a four-minute period which encapsulated Forest’s season to date was decisive, as they spectacularly fell apart and conceded twice midway through the first half before Dominic Calvert-Lewin settled this quintessential relegation six-pointer shortly after half-time. The consequences of this result will fully be known only by the time the weekend is out. If West Ham do slip up, this could well be the night that goes a long way towards securing Premier League survival for Leeds. If they continue this sort of form at Elland Road – 22 of their 29 points have come at home – they will probably be fine no matter what. But it will be Sean Dyche and Forest who watch on nervously on Saturday now. For all the good work they have done of late with eight points from their last four games, a Hammers victory at Turf Moor makes things fascinating once again. Not that Leeds, their supporters and Daniel Farke – who deserves immense credit for this mid-season turnaround – will care right now. The game began at a frenetic pace despite horrendous conditions. Both sides clearly knew the importance of victory, both enjoying spells on the front foot inside the opening quarter. The first real chance came the way of the visitors though, as Nicolás Domínguez forced a wonderful save from Karl Darlow after a Forest counterattack. View image in fullscreen...

Earnings Call Insights: COPT Defense Properties (CDP) Q4 2025 Management View CEO Stephen E. Budorick stated that "2025 was another great year for the company as we outperformed on virtually all of our operating and financial metrics." He reported FFO per share of $2.72, above initial guidance and marking the seventh consecutive year of FFO per share growth. Same-property cash NOI rose 4.1% year-over-year, and occupancy increased by 40 basis points. Budorick highlighted $278 million committed to new investments across five projects in four markets, with an 81% pre-leased rate. He underscored major projects, including a $66 million fully pre-leased development with ARLIS at the Discovery District campus and an $88 million fully pre-leased project in San Antonio. The company expects these developments to generate an incremental $52 million of cash NOI annually once stabilized between 2026 and 2029. Budorick noted, "For 2026, we're establishing the midpoint of FFO per share guidance at $2.75, which implies $0.03 or 1.1% growth over 2025's outstanding results." He also referenced a $146 million capital commitment in January for a fully pre-leased development at National Business Park and a nearly 11-year lease with a top 10 U.S. defense contractor. The CEO emphasized the impact of the FY 2026 Defense Appropriations Act, stating, "This amounts to a Defense Budget of over $950 billion, which is the largest defense-based budget in our nation's history and is a 15% year-over-year increase." He expects increasing defense spending to drive long-term demand for the company’s properties. COO Britt Snider reported portfolio occupancy at 94% and Defense/IT portfolio at 95.5%. He recognized the team for executing 557,000 square feet of vacancy leasing, exceeding the initial target by 40%. In the Defense/IT portfolio, 424,000 square feet of vacancy leasing was achieved, surpassing the entire portfolio goal. CFO Anthony Mifsud stated, "We reported 2025 FFO per share of $2.72, which ...
