Bo Shen/iStock Editorial via Getty Images Shares of Bruker ( BRKR ) have come under some renewed pressure as of late, as shares are off to a soft start in 2026. In fact, shares are trading at levels around $33, having fallen some 40% from levels seen in the first week of trading this year! This came after investors were not impressed by the results for the final quarter of 2025 and the accompanied outlook for 2026. That did not come completely unexpectedly to me, as I concluded towards the year-end of 2025 that Bruker did not provide a healthy diagnosis to investors. Currently, the setup has improved given a serious renewed setback in the share price, as well as some comforting guidance for 2026, with the two developments gradually creating a more compelling situation here. Other, higher conviction ideas, including recent M&A efforts, can be found at Value In Corporate Events . Muddling Through In February, Bruker reported its 2025 results, with reported revenues for the year up 2% to $3.44 billion, as fourth-quarter revenues came in dead flat. In between some M&A efforts pursued during the year and favorable currency movements, the company ended the year with a minus 5% organic growth rate, which is hardly convincing. For the year, organic growth declines came in at minus 4%. These are soft results, despite, in general, a good positioning, as well as solid diversification between the major geographic regions of the world and across segments. Non-GAAP earnings fell by fifty-eight cents to $1.83 per share, this number being quite adjusted with GAAP losses reported at $0.15 per share. Many of these adjustments relate to amortization, impairment, and restructuring charges, or at least not stock-based compensation expenses, but still the adjustments feel large. Net debt was reported at $1.57 billion, a substantial number in relation to a $518 million adjusted operating income number reported for 2025, and while EBITDA could be a bit higher, leverage ratios are seen arou...

Over 25 years, Tottenham Hotspur owners Daniel Levy and Joe Lewis turned a mid-table team into a European heavyweight with a £1 billion ($1.3 billion) stadium. Behind the scenes, though, one of English football’s most enduring partnerships collapsed into a legal and financial feud. Over the weekend, Tottenham fired its third manager in a year as the team’s struggles get worse on the pitch. Away from it, Levy has considered suing his former business partner after being unceremoniously thrown out of the club he ran, according to people familiar with the matter. Levy also believes he owns more of the investment company that’s a majority shareholder in Tottenham to reflect the work he’s done at the club, the people said. They asked not to be named when speaking about internal matters. It’s hard to overstate how spectacularly wrong it’s going for Spurs. The club faces being dumped from England’s top division for the first time in almost five decades, a sporting failure that guarantees a sizable drop in its valuation at a time when the club is potentially for sale now Levy has gone . Meanwhile, the volatile cocktail of boardroom infighting and the looming financial hit relegation would bring threatens to severely deter potential buyers. Investors looking at Spurs are no longer just evaluating a football club , but risk walking into a complex civil war over shares, accounting reviews and intertwined family trusts, according to people who have worked directly with Levy, Lewis and the club. Representatives for Lewis and Tottenham Hotspur declined to comment. A spokesperson for Levy said he was unavailable for comment. Levy’s family has a long history in successful deal-making. His grandfather opened a hat shop in Stratford, east London, and a century later it had grown into one of the UK’s largest menswear chains. After graduating from Cambridge University , Levy struck out on his own, pivoting into corporate finance and property development. While the family business, Mr By...

Earnings Call Insights: Virgin Galactic Holdings, Inc. (SPCE) Q4 2025 Management View CEO Michael Colglazier highlighted the completion of structural assembly for all three major components of the company’s new spaceship, stating the “weight on wheels milestone for this first ship is expected in the next few weeks,” with ground test phase to begin in April and flight tests on track for Q3.
