Fourth quarter 2025 GAAP net income of $1.6 million or $0.12 per basic weighted average common share and Distributable Earnings(1) of $3.5 million or $0.27 per basic weighted average common share Full year 2025 GAAP net income of $12.1 million or $0.93 per basic weighted average common share and Distributable Earnings of $15.2 million or $1.19 per basic weighted average common share Board of Directors declares a first quarter 2026 dividend of $0.30 per common share WEST PALM BEACH, Fla., March 12, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Sunrise Realty Trust, Inc. (Nasdaq: SUNS) (“SUNS” or the “Company”), a lender on the Tannenbaum Capital Group (“TCG”) Real Estate platform, today announced its results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2025. SUNS reported generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) net income of $1.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2025, or $0.12 per basic weighted average common share, and Distributable Earnings of $3.5 million, or $0.27 per basic weighted average common share. The Company reported GAAP net income of $12.1 million for the 2025 fiscal year, or $0.93 per basic weighted average common share, and Distributable Earnings of $15.2 million, or $1.19 per basic weighted average common share. Brian Sedrish, Chief Executive Officer of SUNS, said, “Looking ahead to 2026, we continue to see a clear bifurcation in the commercial mortgage REIT landscape between lenders that are positioned to originate new loans and those that remain focused primarily on asset management. SUNS’ strategy is designed for this environment: we are a lower-leverage lender that prioritizes real estate fundamentals and structured solutions for transitional assets in the Southern U.S. As larger lenders concentrate further on multifamily and industrial, we believe a meaningful portion of the transitional lending market will remain underserved, creating an opportunity set where SUNS can continue to be selective and pursue compelling, risk-adjusted returns.” Common S...

Key Points Spousal benefits allow you to receive as much as 50% of your spouse's monthly benefit. Claiming spousal benefits before your full retirement age will reduce your monthly benefit amount. The Social Security Administration provides estimated monthly benefits, which can help you decide if this is the right move for you. The $23,760 Social Security bonus most retirees completely overlook › Your career earnings largely determine your monthly Social Security benefit amount. The more you earn, the more you pay in Social Security payroll taxes (up to a certain amount), and the larger your monthly benefits will be (again, up to a certain amount). The issue with this process is that not everyone has a sufficient work history. Some people are stay-at-home parents; some people work low-paying jobs; and some people have gaps in employment for one reason or another. Any of these situations could noticeably affect how much someone could receive in benefits. Where to invest $1,000 right now? Our analyst team just revealed what they believe are the 10 best stocks to buy right now. Learn More » Luckily, Social Security offers spousal benefits, which are a way for someone to claim Social Security based on their spouse's work history. They're not the best route for everyone, but can be extremely helpful in the right situation. Let's take a look at who's eligible to receive them. Who is eligible to receive Social Security spousal benefits? The two non-negotiable factors to qualify for Social Security spousal benefits are: having been married for at least one year, and the qualifying spouse currently receiving retirement benefits. From there, one of the following must also apply: You're at least 62 years old. You're caring for a child under age 16. You're caring for a child with a disability that began before age 22. To qualify, one of the three criteria above must be met. Even if you meet the one-year marriage requirement and your spouse is collecting benefits, you won't be e...

Elon Musk revealed a new collaboration between Tesla Inc. and his artificial intelligence startup xAI on Wednesday, introducing a project titled “Macrohard” designed to automate the core operations of traditional software firms. The initiative, which Musk also referred to as “Digital Optimus,” represents a significant step in the billionaire’s goal of expanding AI beyond physical robotics into the digital workspace. In a series of posts on his social media platform X, Musk described a system capable of emulating the functions of entire companies, positioning it as a direct challenge to established tech giants. The architecture of Macrohard relies on a dual-system approach. It pairs xAI’s Grok large language model, which acts as a high-level “navigator” or “thinker,” with a specialized AI agent developed by Tesla. This Tesla-built agent is designed to process real-time computer screen video and interpret keyboard and mouse inputs, allowing the AI to interact with software exactly as a human operator would. “In principle, it is capable of emulating the function of entire companies,” Musk said. “That is why the program is called MACROHARD, a funny reference to Microsoft.” The move comes at a time of heightened competition in the “agentic AI” sector. Recent product launches from competitors like Anthropic have already signaled a shift toward AI that can perform complex, multi-step computer tasks autonomously. Musk’s entry into this space leverages Tesla’s proprietary AI4 chips, which he claims will make the system more cost-competitive by reducing reliance on expensive external hardware. The announcement follows a period of corporate restructuring across Musk’s empire. In January, Tesla committed to a $2 billion investment in xAI. More recently, SpaceX acquired xAI in an all-stock transaction that valued the rocket manufacturer at $1 trillion. This consolidation has drawn scrutiny from some Tesla shareholders, who have filed legal challenges alleging that Musk is divert...

Building a resilient portfolio means thinking beyond a single asset or market trend. Economic cycles shift, sectors rise and fall, and no one investment performs well in every environment. That's why many investors look to diversify with platforms that provide access to real estate, fixed-income opportunities, professional financial guidance, precious metals, and even self-directed retirement accounts. By spreading exposure across multiple asset classes, it becomes easier to manage risk, capture steady returns, and create long-term wealth that isn't tied to the fortunes of just one company or industry. Despite fragile sentiment, analysts say investors may benefit from focusing less on timing the exact bottom and instead gradually accumulating at favorable price levels in preparation for the next market cycle. The metric has recently fallen significantly again, suggesting Bitcoin could be approaching undervalued territory, although it has not yet dropped enough to confirm a definitive market bottom.

CryptoQuant also highlighted that Bitcoin may be moving toward a relatively undervalued zone based on the one-week to one-month holding ratio, an indicator used to measure short-term liquidity. According to the analysis, these signals indicate Bitcoin is being redistributed to new buyers with lower cost bases, while extended uncertainty causes some investors to lose interest or reduce exposure.

Third Quarter Key Highlights (FY’26 Q3 vs. FY’25 Q3, unless otherwise noted) Sales volumes declined 22.1% to 10,275 units, reflecting constraints on origination capacity resulting from the Company's ongoing capital structure transition as well as the significant weather event impacting the south-central states in late January Completed Phase 2 store consolidations in January 2026; active dealership count reduced to 136; 18 total locations consolidated across Phases 1 and 2 as part of our ongoing operational improvement initiative Completed ACM Auto Trust 2025-4 securitization in December 2025 and issued $161.3 million in asset-backed notes Total revenue of $286.8 million, down 12.0%; interest income increased 3.1% to $64.2 million Gross profit per unit improved 8.8% to $7,762; gross margin percentage of 35.8% vs. 35.7% Total collections of $179.0 million, up 1.5% year-over-year Net charge-offs as a percentage of average finance receivables were 6.5% vs. 6.1% SG&A of $51.5 million; includes $2.8 million in non-recurring store consolidation charges; adjusted SG&A 1 of $48.7 million, or 21.8% of sales of $48.7 million, or 21.8% of sales Recorded a non-cash charge of $47.0 million to establish a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets Loss per share of $9.25 and adjusted loss per share 1 of $1.53 of $1.53 Total cash including restricted cash of $237.0 million at January 31, 2026 President and CEO Doug Campbell commentary: "Our third quarter results reflect the impact of our ongoing capital structure transition on origination volumes.

boonstudio/iStock via Getty Images Introduction In recent years, I have written quite a number of articles on how I believe that the FANG trade of 2015-2021 (it turned out to be 2015-2021 with an extension) isn’t the right place to be overweight going forward. Generally speaking, this was all about my expected rotation from growth to value that abruptly ended in 2022 due to growth fears and the new AI trend, which literally created a new industry out of thin air. Now that trade is back, the first two months of this year saw outperformance of value stocks. The chart below shows the ratio between the S&P 500 Value ETF ( IVE ) and the S&P 500 Growth ETF ( IVW ). Most recently, we’ve seen some reversal, as the war in Iran has created new economic uncertainty. As I have written before, economic risks are toxic for cyclical value stocks, which explains the market’s renewed interest in Big Tech. StockCharts (IVE/IVW Total Return Ratio) Needless to say, the point is to run a well-balanced portfolio with a slightly bigger emphasis on value stocks, which is where I expect the most alpha to be. That opinion has slowly become mainstream, as there’s even a name for it. In other words, “forget” FANG (although some exposure to these stocks is perfectly fine) and focus on HALO. That seems to be the message, as The Wall Street Journal wrote last month. HALO was coined by Josh Brown, who is the CEO of Ritholz Wealth Management. He also has a podcast. Some of you may know him from that. In this article, I’ll focus on HALO, give you my alternative (which I think is better), and then give you the game plan and some actionable ideas. That’s why I’m cutting this intro short, as we truly have a lot to discuss. So, let’s get to it! HALO is Great, TOLL is Better I like HALO, which is why I’m not writing this to compete with Josh Brown. HALO stands for “Heavy Assets, Low Obsolescence.” It basically looks for companies that are focused on the physical world and are very resistant to disruption...

Getty Images This article was written by Kody Kester (Kody's Dividends). Next month (April 15), I will turn 29 years old. In my nearly nine years of investing, my journey has probably been different from most people. When I first started, I focused more on immediate income and somewhat discounted the "growth" aspect of dividend growth investing. This has just been a gradual realization for me that, God willing, I could have many more decades of compounding left in my future (I eat a reasonably healthy diet, stay active, and have some longevity genes in my family). That brings me to the focus for today, which is Alphabet Inc., aka Google ( GOOGL , GOOG ). When I last covered Google with a "Buy" rating in August , I was impressed by the strength throughout its business. I also thought that the company could maintain its operating momentum. The balance sheet was remarkably strong as well. Lastly, shares were moderately undervalued. Seven months later, I'm reiterating my "Buy" rating. Last month, Google delivered spectacular fourth-quarter results to close out 2025. Just as I thought last summer, I'm just as convinced now that the company has plenty of growth catalysts to sustain healthy growth. The AA+ S&P credit rating with a stable outlook remains a plus. Finally, even after a massive rally, shares still look to be reasonably valued. Growth Drivers Abound For Google Google Q4 2025 Earnings Presentation On Feb. 4, Google shared its earnings report for the fourth quarter ended Dec. 31, 2025. The company's total revenue jumped 18% higher over the year-ago period to $113.8 billion in the quarter. For more perspective, this was almost $2.4 billion above Seeking Alpha's analyst consensus during the quarter. As has been the case in past quarters, Google's vigorous topline growth for the fourth quarter was fueled by strength in every business except Google Network (down 1.6% year-over-year to $7.83 billion). The company's Google Search business was again the primary growth d...

Abstract Aerial Art/DigitalVision via Getty Images The last article noted that Kosmos Energy ( KOS ) had debt challenges. With the Iran situation raising just about every oil and gas stock around, management took advantage of the situation to raise some cash by selling stock . Investors need to note that management felt that they were getting a good price for the stock. It also should be noted that (typically) selling stock to pay debt is a last resort. It is probably best to let this company get its debt issues under control before investing as there could be more dilution down the road until debt is where it should be. Kosmos Energy Fourth Quarter Results The company showed exploration expenses that were nearly double the year before. Combine this with an impairment charge for a result of a loss of more than $1 per share. The Iran situation now has the stock price at roughly $2. The stock offering was priced at $1.90 and is expected to close on March 12. The company has nearly $3 billion in long term debt on the balance sheet with the fourth quarter earnings press release . All of this meets my definition of financial stress in a big way. Note that there was another roughly $130,000 of debt due under current liabilities. GAAP cash provided by operating activities for the fiscal year was only $134,000 (approximately). That was down considerably from an inadequate amount for the debt load for the previous fiscal year. It also goes a very long way towards explaining the stock offering to likely meet some debt requirements. This is a company that needs a whole lot of commodity price cooperation to straighten things out. Remember that debt has to be properly serviced during good and bad times. Right now, Mr. Market is accommodating this company thanks to the Iran situation. But the stock price is unlikely to wander too far until that debt comes way down. It would appear that management is using the current situation to fix the balance sheet as best as it can. That is e...

Phimprapha Kitaiamphaisan/iStock via Getty Images By Rich Hill, Global Head of Real Estate Research & Strategy and Art Jones, Senior Director, Global Real Estate Research and Strategy Executive summary Artificial intelligence (AI) is adding complexity to an already volatile macro environment, but its long-term impact on commercial real estate (CRE) is likely to mirror past waves of innovation - causing near-term disruption while ultimately expanding economic capacity. Public markets offer early signals: U.S.-listed REITs have posted one of their strongest starts in decades, with broad-based gains led by data centers, specialty, and triple net sectors, while office continues to face structural headwinds. This resilience reflects confidence in the durability of long-term leases and stable earnings, despite concerns about AI-driven shifts in labor demand. In private real estate, AI is set to widen performance dispersion as investors gravitate toward high-quality assets and markets best positioned to benefit from productivity gains. Business-driven sectors like office and life sciences may see slower hiring and space demand, whereas consumer-oriented sectors, including residential, retail, and industrial, could benefit if AI supports economic growth and incomes. Selectivity will remain essential, as even challenged sectors may exhibit pockets of localized strength. Ultimately, investment success will hinge on disciplined asset selection, market focus, and the ability to drive net operating income in an environment where fundamentals, not cap rate compression, will determine returns. This paper examines these themes more fully, offering a framework for understanding AI’s influence on CRE performance and the strategic choices now facing investors. In our 2026 Annual Inside Real Estate Outlook we argued that if the global macro landscape feels unusually complex and disorderly, that’s because it is. We’re not imagining the heightened uncertainty - we’re witnessing multiple ...

It's tense at the top and nail-biting at the bottom. With fewer than 10 rounds of games left, we take a look at how the Premier League title race, the fight for Champions League places and the relegation battle are shaping up. At the summit, Arsenal enjoy a seven-point lead over Manchester City but have played a game more. Looking at the remaining fixtures, the Gunners have a slightly easier run-in on paper, although their eight remaining games include what could be a title-defining trip to the Etihad on 19 April. Beyond that, it is worth noting that four of Arsenal's next five league games are at home against mid-table sides while four of Manchester City's next five are away, including a trip to Chelsea.

US medical equipment provider Stryker said its global networks were disrupted by a cyberattack on Wednesday, allegedly carried out by a hacking group linked to Iran. The attack impacted Stryker’s internal Microsoft environment and deleted information from devices, with one employee telling NBC News that company phones stopped working, grinding work and communications to a standstill. In an SEC filing disclosing the attack, Stryker says the “full scope” of the operational and financial impact on its business “are not yet known,” and that it’s unable to provide a full restoration timeline. The situation was still ongoing as of 12:32AM ET on Thursday, when Stryker said that it was working to bring its systems back online as quickly as possible. “We are continuing to resolve the disruption impacting our global network, resulting from the cyber attack,” Stryker said in the latest statement on its website. “At this time, there is no indication of malware or ransomware and we believe the situation is contained to our internal Microsoft environment only. Our products like Mako, Vocera and LIFEPAK35 are fully safe to use.” An Iranian-linked hacker group called Handala has taken responsibility for the attack on X, claiming that it has extracted 50 terabytes of “critical data” from Stryker and wiped “over 200,000 systems, servers, and mobile devices.” Information from Reddit users linked to Stryker and The Wall Street Journal corroborates Handala’s involvement, reporting that the hacking group’s logo has appeared on Stryker employee login pages. Previous hacks that targeted US agencies and organizations have been attributed to Iran-linked groups before, but this marks the first significant cyberattack since war broke out between the two countries. The attack is believed to have impacted all of Stryker’s operations in Europe, Asia, and the US. An employee at its base in Cork, Ireland — Stryk...

随AI的出现，“短剧之都”的成本优势已经不复存在。 王本致突然被告知，年前面试通过的新工作，已经不需要再去上班了。 王本致是一名短剧从业者，今年春节前夕，他到一家短剧承制公司应聘“现场制片”岗位，本已通过面试，计划年后正式上班。但等到正月初七，他被告知，公司的短剧项目有了新变化，需要等到3月才能最终确定。到了3月初，王本致再次被告知，该真人短剧项目已经叫停，全面转向AI短剧，不再需要“现场制片”岗位了。 王本致联系了年前曾向其发出邀约的另外几家短剧公司，惊讶地发现，这些短剧公司要么转型AI短剧，要么将员工从雇佣制转为合伙制，还有一些短剧公司干脆解散了。 同样感受到短剧市场变化的，还有西安造梦工厂实景基地工作人员刘钢涛。他指着办公室内的一张大黑板对第一财经记者说，去年，这上面的进场剧组拍摄日期表，几乎每个星期都得更新一次，可如今已到3月，预约进场拍摄的剧组，才排了不到半板。 不只西安，郑州的多家短剧拍摄基地负责人也告诉记者，往年这个时候，基地里到处都是短剧剧组，可如今半天碰不到一个。 “短剧才红火几年，这咋说冷就冷了？”曾亲身经历短剧市场崛起的王本致，如今想要在这个行业谋得一份稳定的工作已经不易。 AI来了 中商产业研究院的一份数据显示，2020年，整个短剧市场还只有不到10亿元的市场规模，到2022年，快速成长为100亿元以上市场规模的产业。 一份由中国网络视听协会发布的《中国微短剧行业发展白皮书（2024）》显示，2024年，中国短剧市场规模已经攀升至504.4亿元，同比增长34.9%，首次超越电影票房。 短剧市场规模的膨胀，吸引了大批王本致这样的从业者入行。中国网络视听协会的另一份报告显示，相较于电影和长剧，微短剧因制作成本低、制作周期短，往往能快速立项开机，为影视从业者提供了大量进组机会，其中，2024年，我国微短剧行业直接就业岗位约为21.9万个，间接带动就业岗位达42.8万个，微短剧总计带动约64.7万个就业机会。 一些原本在传统影视产业链中优势并不突出的城市，也因此快速崛起为“短剧之都”，其中包括西安、郑州。 《西安日报》的一篇报道显示，早在2023年时，西安就已经有短视频制作公司200多家，全国约60%的微短剧由西安制作生产，随着西安微短剧的制作生产，当地出现了多家为微短剧拍摄服务的影视基地，还催生出了产业园区，连接行业上中下游。 西安造梦工厂实景基地...

wildpixel/iStock via Getty Images Are there cockroaches still crawling around? Private credit fears are on the rise again as major funds reveal redemption pressures and banks move to cut their risk tied to the sector. It's also creating a big dilemma for the industry, whose loan holdings and values are quite opaque and cannot offer immediate liquidity due to long-term investor capital. Private credit crisis is a result of 'really bad underwriting' Backdrop: The modern private credit industry opened for business after the global financial crisis, as all types of caps and limits were slapped on banks. Private credit firms emerged, and initially funded loans to businesses that weren't able to access financing, but these higher interest rates ended up being highly attractive to many investors. As funds piled in from institutions, private equity firms like Blackstone ( BX ) and Apollo ( APO ) set up their own credit shops. Lending expanded to larger companies to fund everything from data centers to AI startups, and the products were eventually marketed to the retail crowd. Eye on the shadows: As long as defaults are low, private credit can be a lucrative investment, with double-digit returns on lending. The problem is that there is not much insight into how the entire market is leveraged and how much risk is being taken on to underwrite new loans and capital. If things also go south in a sector that is highly funded by private credit, like an AI disruption to software companies, it can also have knock-on effects on the entire system. Apollo aims to mark private credit daily, eventually Red flags first appeared in the fall after auto parts maker First Brands and subprime auto lender Tricolor Holdings went bankrupt. Things escalated last month, as redemption requests spiraled at direct lender Blue Owl ( OWL ), while BlackRock ( BLK ) later curbed withdrawals from one of its largest private credit funds. Now, JPMorgan ( JPM ) is reportedly marking down loan portfolios of pr...

柬埔寨警方在金邊破獲一個電信詐騙中心，拘捕數十人，包括8名中國籍男子。柬方稱，爭取在下月底前，清除全國所有同類場所。 《柬中時報》報道，金邊警方周二突襲市區一棟公寓，破獲一個電信詐騙中心，當場拘捕65人，包括8名中國籍男子和57名柬埔寨籍男女。 現場查獲包括數百部手機、幾十台電腦和一批國際電話卡等大量涉案設備。警方表示，該詐騙集團以柬埔寨為基地，主要以「虛假投資項目」為手段，誘騙受害者轉帳匯款，詐騙對象主要針對歐洲地區。 柬埔寨打擊網絡詐騙委員會稱，自從去年七月以來，當局已經鎖定了250個相信正在實施高利潤犯罪活動的據點，並破獲了其中約八成，即200個。 警方稱有詐騙集團利用人工智能(AI)犯罪。 一名金邊市警官指出︰「他們偽造制服和身份證，還利用人工智能生成大量假臉。」 當局稱爭取在下月底前，清除境內所有電騙中心。美聯社引述聯合國專家和其他分析人士報道，網絡犯罪在東南亞氾濫，尤其是柬埔寨和緬甸，全球各地詐騙受害者每年被騙金額達數百億美元。
