Docebo ( DCBO ) announced that the board of directors has approved a substantial issuer bid under which the company will offer to repurchase for cancellation up to $60B of its outstanding common shares at a price of $20.40 per common share. In connection with the offer, Docebo also announced preliminary financial results for the three months ended December 31, 2025 and financial guidance for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2026. The company intends to fund the offer through a combination of approximately $30B of cash on hand and an approximate $30B draw down on its credit facility. The company is seeking to increase the size of its credit facility from $50B to $100B, which increase has been conditionally approved by its lenders. Following the offer, the company expects to continue having access to liquidity which, combined with the cash flow that it expects to generate, will allow the company to continue investing in areas of growth, including through strategic investments such as acquisitions. Intercap Equity, which beneficially owns approximately 56.6% of the company’s issued and outstanding common shares, has informed the company that it does not intend to participate in the offer. The offer will be for up to approximately 10.23% of the total number of issued and outstanding common shares on a non-diluted basis.

Guido Mieth/DigitalVision via Getty Images Gilat Satellite Networks ( GILT ), a small satellite broadband solutions provider from Israel, is up ~200% this past year. This may make investors think that its upside potential is already over. This stance has merit - after such a run, GILT no longer looks cheap. However, there is a reason this could be wrong. Despite its spike, it could well be that the market is misclassifying GILT as just another cyclical satellite ground-equipment vendor, whereas its core growth - in years to come - might well be in IFC or in-flight connectivity. Q3 results seem to indicate that something may be amiss with the received view. Yes, revenue did grow 58% year-over-year, guidance got raised, and both backlog and liquidity were strengthened. However, reported margins remained narrow, and there’s a disconnect between earnings and earnings potential, at least in the mid-term. These things indicate that Gilat is in the middle - not the end - of a transition. If that be so, the current run only reflects the market’s faith in execution potential, not complete implementation of it. The market still doesn’t discount the company’s IFC-led growth, its multi-orbit platform, and a lineup of large orders from aviation to military to communication. Not a SATCOM vendor any more It is interesting to note from GILT’s Q3 results that much of the 116% YoY growth in the commercial segment has come from in-flight connectivity (IFC). While management did not break out the in line numbers, they were unusually explicit that the Q3 growth was “primarily driven by the in-flight connectivity vertical.” It can be understood that a bulk of this growth came from the $60+ million Sidewinder ESA orders, the $7+ million IFC system orders, and rapid aircraft deployment growth with 350+ aircraft, 300k+ flight hours. This is a major shift in Gilat’s business, from the cyclical, one-time nature of SATCOM sales to the longer-term IFC business. This shift did not emerge suddenl...

An informant who reported illegal bid-rigging of used car auctions to federal authorities received a $1 million reward, the Justice Department said Thursday, the first antitrust whistleblower award under a program announced last year. Information from the whistleblower led to a deferred prosecution agreement under which eBlock Inc. , a Canadian firm whose software helps auto dealers buy and sell inventory, will pay a $3.28 million criminal fine. The whistleblower’s identity remains confidential because the investigation is continuing. According to court filings, a California-based auction platform started conspiring in 2015 with an auto wholesale company to rig used car transactions by sharing bids and placing fake offers to increase prices, impacting more than $16 million in sales. In 2021, eBlock acquired the auction platform and sought to end the illegal conduct, though the conspiracy continued until the next year, the Justice Department said. “This whistleblower helped expose a brazen $16 million scheme that made it more expensive for hardworking Americans to afford second-hand cars across the country,” said Omeed Assefi, deputy assistant attorney general for criminal antitrust enforcement. “Whistleblowers serve as the Justice System’s greatest disinfectant against criminal antitrust conspiracies.” The federal government has long operated programs that reward whistleblowers who report certain white collar crimes – such as foreign bribery or tax evasion . But in July, the Justice Department announced a new system allowing individuals who reported criminal antitrust violations, such as price-fixing or bid-rigging, to be eligible for awards. Whistleblowers whose tips lead to fines of at least $1 million can receive up to 30% of the proceeds. In an interview, Assefi said the new program has led to new tips and investigations after “many more” informants than expected provided information to the Justice Department on antitrust crimes.

On Tuesday, Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) CEO Tim Cook faced renewed criticism over the company's artificial intelligence strategy. Investor Ross Gerber Calls For Tim Cook's Exit Over AI Strategy Ross Gerber, co-founder of investment firm Gerber Kawasaki, took to X and criticized Apple's leadership. He argued that the tech giant has fallen behind in AI race. "It’s time for Tim Apple to resign. He hasn’t done a thing really in years," Gerber wrote, adding that Apple "completely missed the AI boat" and now "needs Google to survive." "No excuses. Tim Cook needs to go," he wrote. Ya.

Barclays sees more gains ahead for ASML after a big earnings beat Wednesday coupled with better than expected guidance. The bank upgraded the Dutch semiconductor equipment overweight from equal weight Thursday. Shares rose more than 3.5% in premarket trading following the rating change. Barclays analyst Simon Coles said demand for ASML's product — extreme ultraviolet lithography machines critical for the development of advanced semiconductors — to support data centers is materializing more quickly than they had expected. As foundries like Taiwan Semiconductor and Intel increase competition, that will only further accelerate ASML's demand, he said. ASML YTD mountain ASML year-to-date chart "We also see a variety of other upside scenarios that could help the investment case further… in particular foundry competition which we don't think is fully reflected yet," Coles wrote. "With two foundries playing catch up to the leader, we see upside risk from this competition driving increasing investment which should benefit ASML/semicap into 2027." China has been a risk for the company, Coles said, with export control risks adding "uncertainty" to the future of that market for ASML. However, he argued that ASML's guidance for China sales to fall 10% year over year is likely an overestimation. He noted that recent Chinese import data shows demand in the country is strong. And while ASML's 2026 sales guidance was ahead of estimates, Coles wrote it's still "conservative," creating potential for more beats this year. "Given upside to estimates, scope for beats and raise and insatiable AI demand we upgrade to OW believing there is more outperformance ahead," he wrote. ASML is up 33% in 2026, and nearly 100% in the past year.

RA'ANANA, Israel, Jan. 29, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Inspira™ Technologies OXY B.H.N. Ltd. (NASDAQ: IINN, IINNW) ("Inspira," "Inspira Technologies," or the "Company"), a pioneer in innovative life-support and diagnostic technologies, today announced that its U.S. Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”)-cleared INSPIRA™ ART100 system has completed its full clinical evaluation and advanced to a budgeted procurement execution process at a leading U.S. academic medical center, ranked among the top hospitals in the United States.

The business may not be as strong as its performance this year suggests. Over the past five years, Novavax (NVAX 6.01%), a vaccine maker, lost more than 90% of its market value. Though it succeeded in its goal of launching a coronavirus vaccine, the biotech did so much later than some anticipated and struggled to keep its sales competitive with the market leaders in that niche. However, Novavax has made several moves in recent years that could help it bounce back. The company's shares are already up by 28% in 2026 after it announced a deal with a pharmaceutical giant. With that as a backdrop, are Novavax's shares attractive right now? Let's find out. Novavax's in-demand technology On Jan. 20, Novavax announced that it had entered into a nonexclusive licensing deal with Pfizer for its proprietary Matrix-M adjuvant technology. The pharmaceutical leader will be eligible to use the tech in up to two disease areas. Novavax will receive an up-front payment of $30 million, be eligible for milestone payments of up to $500 million, and could also get royalties on future approved products that use its adjuvant technology. Of note, this isn't the first time another company has struck a licensing deal with Novavax for its Matrix-M platform. Sanofi, a France-based biotech leader, did the same about two years ago. Is Novavax's stock a buy? Novavax's revenue has been inconsistent in recent years. And with U.S. regulators changing official recommendations on who is eligible for coronavirus vaccines, things won't get much better on that front for the company. True, Sanofi will lead commercialization efforts in the U.S. and other markets abroad for Novavax's vaccine going forward, with the smaller biotech set to receive royalties on sales. However, that hardly changes the calculus for Novavax: Much of its revenue over the next couple of years should come from its coronavirus franchise, whether through direct sales or royalties. And this market now looks very uncertain. Novavax could ...
