Ross Stores ( ROST ) announced the grand opening of 17 new stores nationwide during February and March, including 13 Ross Dress for Less and four dd's DISCOUNTS locations. The retailer added stores in 11 different states over the two months. These openings represent the first wave of Ross Stores' ( ROST ) fiscal 2026 expansion plan to add approximately 110 new stores for total unit growth of 5% in the year. "Following strong new store performance in 2025, these openings build on that momentum. We expanded Ross Dress for Less in the Mountain, Midwest, and Northeast regions while also strengthening our presence in key Sunbelt states.

Pichsakul Promrungsee/iStock via Getty Images The AMG GW&K Small Cap Core Fund (Class N) returned 3.54% for the fourth quarter of 2025, compared with 2.19% for its benchmark, the Russell 2000 ® Index. For the 12 months ending December 31, 2025, the Fund returned 7.24%, while the benchmark returned 12.81%. Please note that this Fund has multiple share classes. Market Overview Could a play written in the early 1600s be the perfect theme for the 2025 stock market? All's Well that Ends Well, Shakespeare's tragicomedy, is probably as apt a description of the past investment year as we are going to find. It was a year more colorful than most and contained a few moments when things looked bleak as investor storylines potentially veered toward tragedy. However, the end result included all-time highs among many stock indexes and above average U.S. market returns. The comedic storyline stayed mostly intact, with even beleaguered U.S. small cap indexes finishing with double digit returns. As the year progressed through twelve months and five acts, inflation moderated, interest rates generally declined, and the economy persevered, if only in a lopsided, k-shaped, manner. Uncertain trade policy and the friction it added to the system was certainly the biggest distraction. However, capital markets remained focused on areas of outsized growth during the year, especially artificial intelligence (AI) investment, as well as other industries of focus for the Trump administration. Markets also overcame frequent concerns about valuation. Oftentimes these valuation issues were not just of the “that price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio looks a tad high” variety, but instead more like “that company has no revenues to measure against its $10B+ market cap” and “when will investors see the return from the billions of dollars of spending on AI infrastructure?” The Russell 2000® Index cobbled together a 12.8% return for the full year, by nearly all accounts “ending well.” After rallying in January, th...

Volkswagen AG is broadening its battery ambitions beyond electric vehicles into large-scale energy storage and trading as global EV demand falls short of expectations. Europe’s biggest automaker started operations at its first major storage facility on Monday in Salzgitter, Germany. The setup, part of VW’s Elli energy subsidiary, can supply as many as 20,000 homes for roughly two hours. The site connects directly to the grid and will also be used for energy trading on the European power exchange EPEX SPOT . It uses cells from Volkswagen’s in-house PowerCo division, which once targeted as many as seven EV battery plants and has already scaled back ambitions for its German cell factory, also located in Salzgitter. Volkswagen is seeking new battery revenue streams as China’s dominant suppliers cut their prices and EV growth rates slow. The automaker previously targeted enough production to supply about 3 million EVs annually by 2030 — a goal set when growth forecasts were far more bullish. Energy storage is in high demand due to a surge in power-hungry data centers and more renewable energy plants feeding into electricity grids. Read More: VW Weighs Slower Ramp Up of Battery Production on EV Downturn “Energy storage and energy trading represent a new strategic business area with strong growth potential,” Chief Executive Officer Oliver Blume said. Since launching PowerCo in 2022, Volkswagen has halved the ramp-up capacity at the Salzgitter cell plant to 20 gigawatt-hours annually, reflecting weaker-than-expected EV uptake. While the company has stuck with plans for long-term capacity of as much as 200 gigawatt-hours across three planned factories in Germany, Spain and Canada, executives have acknowledged that the expansion will depend on conditions in the automotive market. VW has also reduced overall investment plans for the group, and said PowerCo may seek external funding for mid-term financing. By linking cell manufacturing, stationary storage and digital energy tra...

A video has shown a US Tomahawk missile hitting the Iranian naval base next to a primary school in Minab where more than 168 people, mostly children, were killed – adding to evidence that indicates the US was responsible for the school strike. The video, released by the Iranian news agency Mehr and geolocated to the site by the investigative collective Bellingcat, shows the missile hitting the Minab compound on the morning of 28 February, when US-Israeli strikes on Iran began. Combined with other evidence from the site, including videos verified by the Guardian, photos of the aftermath and satellite imagery of the strike, the new footage indicates that Shajareh Tayyebeh primary school was hit during a set of strikes by the US, as it targeted an adjacent Islamic Revolutionary Guards (IRGC) naval compound. The strike demolished approximately half the school, killing scores of seven- to 12-year-old girls as they attended morning classes. The evidence directly contradicts statements by the US president, Donald Trump, on Sunday that Iran was responsible for the school bombing. “In my opinion, based on what I’ve seen, that was done by Iran,” Trump said, without offering any evidence for his claim. “They’re very inaccurate, as you know, with their munitions. They have no accuracy whatsoever. It was done by Iran.” Munitions experts say the missile shown in the video is clearly a Tomahawk, which is only used by the US in the current conflict. “The video shows a Tomahawk missile striking a target. Given the belligerents, that indicates it is a US strike, as Israel is not known to possess Tomahawk missiles,” said NR Jenzen-Jones, the director of Armament Research Services, an intelligence consultancy that provides munitions analysis to governments and NGOs. He added: “Despite various claims circulating online, the munition in question is clearly not an Iranian Soumar missile [as] the Soumar has a distinctive external engine located towards the rear, on the underside of the mun...

Netflix Inc. ’s stock price is staging a dramatic reversal triggered by management’s decision to walk away from its proposed acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery Inc. late last month. “The core business is phenomenal and they never needed that deal — it was a nice to have, not a must have,” Wedbush analyst Alicia Reese said. “It’s hard to look at this in any negative way.” The streaming giant emerged as the favorite to buy Warner in early December and agreed to a $72 billion acquisition on Dec. 5 that eventually increased to $83 billion. Netflix shares immediately went into a tailspin, as investors worried that the deal would distract the company from its core business and that it wasn’t necessary for Netflix’s continued growth. Along the way, Paramount Skydance Corp. surfaced as a major competitor for Warner and refused to disappear even as Warner said it preferred a combination with Netflix. On Feb. 23, Paramount raised its offer to more than Netflix was willing to pay, and by Feb. 27 it had won the bidding as Netflix formally stepped aside. While the deal’s collapse could be seen as a loss for the company, it was a winner for its stock price. Netflix shares plunged more than 30% from Dec. 3, when the chatter around a bid got serious, until Feb. 23, by which time Netflix appeared ready to walk. Since then, the stock has gained 30% in nine sessions, its best nine-day performance since October 2022, and that includes Friday’s 0.2% dip. “I think a lot of the worry for the stock was investors were kind of doubting whether that organic growth is slowing,” Bloomberg Intelligence’s Geetha Ranganathan said.

In this article NVO HIMS NVO Follow your favorite stocks CREATE FREE ACCOUNT Novo Nordisk has dropped its legal case against telehealth provider Hims & Hers over patent infringement, after the two companies agreed Hims would sell Novo's branded medicines through its platform. "We have decided to drop the current court proceedings and, of course, we reserve to bring that back if need be, but I don't foresee that happening," Novo Nordisk CEO Mike Doustdar told CNBC's Charlotte Reed on Monday. Under the agreement, Hims will offer access to injectable and oral semaglutide, sold as Ozempic and Wegovy, at the same price as other telehealth platforms, and Hims will no longer advertise compounded GLP-1 drugs on its platform or in its marketing, the companies said in statements on Monday. watch now VIDEO 7:02 07:02 Novo Nordisk and Hims & Hers to collaborate on weight loss treatment Squawk Box Europe Shares of Hims soared as much as 50% in premarket trading. Novo's Copenhagen-listed stock climbed 1.7%. In February, Novo said it would sue Hims for what it called "mass illegal compounding" after the latter announced it would sell a copycat version of the Wegovy pill for $49, roughly $100 less than Novo sells the branded pill for through its direct-to-consumer platform NovoCare. Hims quickly pulled the pill after backlash from Novo and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, which pledged to take "decisive steps" to restrict such practises by compounding pharmacies, including Hims. Hims has profited hugely from selling copycat versions of the blockbuster weight-loss drug through a loophole in U.S. regulations that allows companies other than the patent holder to sell a drug if it is in shortage. While semaglutide was in shortage in the early days of the drug, Novo has since resolved supply restraints as it ramped up manufacturing. Hims, however, continued selling copycat versions of the drugs, arguing that its copies are "personalized" and therefore legal. Semaglutide's patent i...
