FAIR LAWN, N.J., Feb. 02, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Columbia Financial, Inc.

FAIR LAWN, N.J., Feb. 02, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Columbia Financial, Inc. (the “Company”) (NASDAQ: CLBK), the mid-tier holding company for Columbia Bank ("Columbia"), reported net income of $15.7 million, or $0.15 per basic and diluted share, for the quarter ended December 31, 2025, as compared to a net loss of $21.2 million, or $0.21 per basic and diluted share, for the quarter ended December 31, 2024. Earnings for the quarter ended December 31, 2025 reflected higher net interest income due to both an increase in interest income and a decrease in interest expense, a decrease in provision for credit losses and higher non-interest income, partially offset by higher income tax expense. During the fourth quarter of 2024, as previously disclosed, the Company restructured its balance sheet by selling debt securities available for sale and prepaying higher cost borrowings, which resulted in a pre-tax loss of $37.9 million. For the quarter ended December 31, 2025, the Company reported core net income of $15.9 million, an increase of $4.5 million, or 39.6%, compared to core net income of $11.4 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2024. (Refer to "Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures" for a reconciliation of GAAP net income to core net income.) The positive impact of the balance sheet repositioning transaction in 2024 significantly contributed to the net interest margin expansion in the 2025 period.

Sjors Hardholt/iStock via Getty Images Introduction Last year, I started using some Goldman Sachs research in my outlook, as the investment bank made the case for a “lost decade.” Their view was based on the market’s elevated valuation, which could offset earnings growth and lead to subdued returns. The Goldman Sachs strategist, who correctly predicted Wall Street’s underperformance this year, sees US equities continuing to lag other markets for the next decade. Oppenheimer and his team expect the S&P 500 to achieve annual returns of 6.5% in the coming 10 years, the weakest among all regions. Emerging markets are projected to be strongest, at 10.9% a year. - Bloomberg Bloomberg Meanwhile, people like Ed Yardeni make the case we’re in the “ Roaring 20s. ” As a lot has happened in recent weeks, I’m using this opportunity to explain why both make great points and how this can help us generate alpha in this market or simply achieve our personal goals much more easily. So, as we have a lot to discuss, let’s keep this intro short and get right to it! The Valuation Story - The Bad News Valuations are important. I have often explained this based on single stocks. For example, if Company A grows its earnings per share by 5% per year forever, its stock price rises by 5% per year as well if we ignore any valuation changes. However, if its valuation multiple drops, the return falls, as this headwind offsets some earnings gains. That’s basically Goldman Sachs’ argument in a nutshell. And, historically speaking, the relationship between the market’s longer-term performance and its starting valuations (see below) confirms that this is an important factor. JPMorgan As the market currently trades at 22.0x earnings, there’s a clear case to be made that we’re in for some trouble down the road. Historically speaking, of course. FactSet But that’s just a part of the story. If I were to use this info only, I could write a super bearish article, annoy many readers, and get many views. But...

jamesteohart/iStock Editorial via Getty Images Context When I last covered the stock (with a hold rating), MINISO Group Holding Limited ( MNSO ) was on a roll, trading slightly above fair value. Since then, fundamentals and valuations have flipped, with revenues and free cash flow continuing to grow, but the stock has declined by 20% over the past year. This drop was partly driven by investor concerns over competition from rival Pop Mart, which shot to fame thanks to their proprietary Labubu IP, which became a viral phenomenon, as well as by Miniso’s surprising CNY 6 billion investment in struggling Chinese supermarket chain Yonghui Superstores in 2024. Despite the drop, the stock is not a bargain and appears to be fairly valued. Business context Miniso is a trendy retailer of branded IP products and merchandise such as plushies, personal accessories (such as fragrances and bags), stationery, ‘kidult’ collectibles and blind boxes among other items, designed in-house in collaboration with partners like The Walt Disney Company ( DIS ), Sanrio Company, Ltd. ( SNROF ), Mattel, Inc.'s ( MAT ) Barbie, and Nintendo Co., Ltd.'s ( NTDOY ) Pokémon . Their products are mostly sold through their network of offline stores worldwide under the Miniso banner ( 7,800 stores at the end of September 2025), and to a lesser extent through their new Top Toy banner (300 stores). The vast majority of stores are operated under a retail partner model, with under 10% operated directly by Miniso. Financial context Revenues continue to grow (based on the latest figures, for the first nine months of 2025, revenues rose over 20%), with gross margins remaining unchanged at 44%. Net margins, however, dropped to about 9% from around 14% the same period last year, weighed down by net interest costs of over CNY 200 million or approximately 1.5% of revenues (owing to debt of more than CNY 5 billion taken in late 2024 to fund the purchase of Yonghui Superstores), in contrast to the previous year when th...

Explicit goal: China's Xi signals a push for renminbi reserve currency status as Beijing eyes bigger role in global finance. Volatility spike The precious metals rally has been a wild one over the past three months. Gold ( XAUUSD:CUR ) first broke through the $4,000 barrier in early October, hit $4,500/oz by late December, and went on to top $5,000 and then $5,500 in the span of a few days in January. Silver ( XAGUSD:CUR ) has also seen tremendous gains, flying from an already elevated $50 to near $120 per ounce over the same timeframe. Too far, too fast: There were definitely catalysts to the rally, like central bank buying, debt and dollar concerns, and geopolitical tensions. However, anything that records such outsized returns during such a quick period is poised for a serious pullback, with gold and silver tumbling by 16% and 34% , respectively, over the past two sessions. A Warsh-led Fed and profit-taking were said to prompt the selling, as well as crowded and leveraged trading that saw the CME Group raise its margin requirements on precious metals.

Key Points Archer Aviation is pre-revenue now, but it will close in on almost $1 billion in annual revenue by 2028. Snap shares have fallen by almost 40% over the past year, but Snapchat's parent company should see revenue growth accelerate this year. Opendoor has been bid higher by meme stocks, but they may be right if the U.S. home resale market finally bottoms out here. 10 stocks we like better than Archer Aviation › Low price points typically indicate high risks, but also -- sometimes -- great potential. I want to dive into a few stocks with single-digit prices that I think can move higher this year. I feel that Archer Aviation (NYSE: ACHR), Snap (NYSE: SNAP), and Opendoor Technologies (NASDAQ: OPEN) can beat the market in 2026. Where to invest $1,000 right now? Our analyst team just revealed what they believe are the 10 best stocks to buy right now. Continue » 1. Archer Aviation Archer investors may want to buckle up for turbulence. Shares of the rising star in the nascent market for electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft have been cut by more than half since peaking in October. Archer Aviation stock fell 11% through the final three trading days of last week, after its largest rival, Joby Aviation (NYSE: JOBY), plummeted as a result of pushing to raise another $1.2 billion. The market for eVTOL is just starting to lift off. It's still speculative, and Archer has yet to generate any revenue, but analysts see the business ramping up dramatically in the coming years. Here are Wall Street's top-line targets analysts for the next four years: 2026: $32 million. 2027: $306 million. 2028: $967 million. 2029: $1,753 million. Going from $0 to more than $1.7 billion in five years is impressive. It also justifies Archer's market cap of $5.3 billion, a reasonable three times its revenue target for 2029. Its rival Joby trades at a 2029 revenue multiple approaching 9, and that is after that stock has declined 22% in the past three trading days. Archer's Midnig...

At least three people have died and nearly 30,000 people have been affected by flooding after Madagascar’s first tropical storm of the season hit over the weekend. Tropical Cyclone Fytia formed to the north-west of Madagascar over the northern Mozambique Channel on Thursday. Fytia was forecast to bring daily rainfall totals of about 150mm where rain is heaviest, leading to a risk of flooding and landslides. Travel disruption and school closures are likely and it is estimated that more than 40,000 homes could be flooded over the next few days. Red alerts were issued in regions in the track of the cyclone, indicating imminent danger, and mariners have been advised to seek shelter. According to a provisional report from Madagascar’s national bureau for disaster risk management, at least three people have died and 28,368 people have been affected by flooding. Fytia moved south-east through northern and central Madagascar on Saturday, bringing heavy rainfall, strong winds and rough sea conditions. Average wind speeds of more than 90mph have been recorded, along with gusts of up to 130mph as of Saturday, according to Météo Madagascar. As Fytia continued to move across Madagascar, it weakened into a tropical storm, though disruption will continue this week. 0:34 People walk on frozen Baltic Sea as extreme cold hits Poland – video Meanwhile, eastern Europe has been extremely cold for much of the winter so far.
