Maximusnd/iStock via Getty Images The U.S. stock market posted modest gains in the fourth quarter of 2025 with the S&P 500 Total Return Index (“S&P”) and the Russell 1000 Growth Index (“RLG”) returning 2.66% and 1.12%, respectively. The RiverPark Long/Short Opportunity Fund was up slightly, returning 0.13% for the quarter. Performance within the Russell 1000 Growth Index was uneven, with notable strength in Health Care and Communication Services, while more defensive and interest-rate-sensitive sectors such as Utilities and Real Estate lagged. Market leadership remained concentrated, but dispersion beneath the surface increased. Investors favored companies demonstrating earnings durability and clear progress on monetizing secular growth investments, particularly in health care and select parts of the AI value chain. By contrast, stocks exposed to higher capital intensity, valuation sensitivity to interest rates, or slowing demand faced pressure, even when underlying fundamentals remained sound. From a macro standpoint, economic growth held up better than expected and inflation continued to moderate, allowing financial conditions to ease incrementally. While technology performance was mixed during the quarter, investor focus increasingly shifted toward return on invested capital rather than headline growth. Overall, our longs contributed 0.89% and our shorts cost us 0.29%. We were hurt by some of our broader hedges in the quarter including iShares MSCI Eurozone ETF ( EZU ) and the Invesco QQQ Trust Series ( QQQ ), and we benefited from several individual company shorts including CarMax ( KMX ), Fidelity National Information Services ( FIS ), Compass ( COMP ), and Duolingo ( DUOL ). In the short book, we continue to focus on businesses that we believe are losing competitive market share, that have business models we believe are flawed or are facing cyclical headwinds (including unprofitable technology, subscale internet media, residential real estate, cyclical industr...

Wing Tom Roebuck denies that England's squad unity is fracturing under the pressure of successive losses against Scotland, Ireland and Italy, and the subsequent scrutiny. Saturday's defeat by Italy, a first in 33 Test meetings between the teams, has left England on the brink of the worst Six Nations campaign in their history. An argument between captain Maro Itoje and Fin Smith over whether to kick for goal or to the corner from a second-half penalty was picked up on the referee's microphone, with Itoje tetchily telling his fly-half "don't argue with me, take the three". In the wake of the defeat, the Rugby Football Union released a statement backing head coach Steve Borthwick, while admitting results had been "hugely disappointing" and insisting it would attempt to "understand and rectify" the reasons behind their underwhelming campaign. Sam Warburton told BBC Rugby Special that he thinks there is more to England's nose-diving form than is apparent from outside. "Something is going on, I think, behind closed doors," said the former Wales and British and Irish Lions captain. "We can only guess what's going on, but that is not a camp which is all on the same page who know what they are doing. It is very disjointed."

Earnings Call Insights: Myomo, Inc. (MYO) Q4 2025 Management View Paul Gudonis, President, CEO & Chairman, highlighted progress on four major objectives: growing revenue through direct-to-patient marketing and recurring sources, expanding market access via new payer contracts, managing cost structure to demonstrate operating leverage, and advancing product innovation. He reported, “Fourth quarter of 2025 was our strongest revenue quarter of the year with $11.4 million in revenue. This brought our full year revenue to $40.9 million, representing 26% growth over 2024.” Gudonis emphasized the growth in orders: “We also recorded the highest number of orders in the company's history with 241 MyoPros ordered during the quarter, up 5% sequentially from the third quarter.” He cited expanded O&P channel penetration, early success of the MyoConnect referral program, and stronger international revenues as key drivers. He announced a new multistate agreement with Elevance Health, covering 45 million lives, as a “first such extensive payer arrangement, which provides for case-by-case authorization.” Gudonis disclosed the China JV is on hold after the majority shareholder declared bankruptcy. Management is working with investors to potentially recapitalize and restructure the venture. On the product front, he noted the upcoming rollout of the Myomo mobile app and development of the next-generation MyoPro 3. David Henry, Chief Financial Officer, stated, “Revenue for the fourth quarter of 2025 was $11.4 million, which was our highest revenue quarter this year, up 13% from the third quarter of 2025, but down slightly versus the prior year period.” He added, “Gross margin for the fourth quarter of 2025 was 68.6%, down from 71.4% a year ago and up from 63.8% in the third quarter.” Outlook Management expects first quarter 2026 revenue in the range of $9 million to $9.5 million. For full year 2026, the company guides for revenue between $43 million and $46 million. The company anticipat...

One of the biggest stories in the entertainment industry so far in 2026 is Netflix (NFLX 0.68%) missing out on its proposed acquisition of parts of Warner Bros. Discovery. On Dec. 5, 2025, Netflix announced it had signed a deal to acquire the Warner Bros. studio and other entertainment assets from Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD 0.72%) for $27.75 per share, with a total enterprise value of $82.7 billion. This set off a complex high-stakes bidding war with Paramount Skydance (PSKY 6.59%), which submitted its own competing offer. On Feb. 26, Netflix announced that it was declining to raise its offer, leaving Warner's board to accept a superior offer from Paramount. The entire Warner Bros. Discovery company is now being acquired by Paramount Skydance for $31 per share, or about $110 billion of total enterprise value. In an interview with Bloomberg on March 1, Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos said it was unlikely Netflix would pursue another studio acquisition, saying, "We are builders, not buyers." That's something co-CEO Greg Peters said back in October 2025 when rumors were building about Netflix trying to buy parts of Warner Bros. Discovery. Here are key takeaways from the end of Netflix's pursuit of Warner Bros. and what it might mean for investors in this media stock. Netflix might be better off Was losing the Warner deal a "loss" for Netflix? Maybe not. The streaming giant's stock is up 5.6% year to date as of market close March 6 and about 17% since Feb. 26. Netflix even got paid a $2.8 billion breakup fee by Paramount Skydance. Meanwhile, Paramount Skydance stock is down about 10% year to date, and its credit rating was cut to "junk" status on March 2 by Fitch Ratings due to concerns about Paramount Skydance's rising debt levels and uncertainties related to the acquisition. Missing out on the WB deal could be good news for Netflix. Sarandos told Bloomberg that the company had a "very tight range" that it was willing to pay for Warner Bros. and that "I'm happy where we g...

Along a stretch of shopfronts in downtown Guangzhou, dozens of middle-aged day laborers linger in the winter chill, waiting for agents from nearby factories in southern China to offer some work.

Along a stretch of shopfronts in downtown Guangzhou, dozens of middle-aged day laborers linger in the winter chill, waiting for agents from nearby factories in southern China to offer some work. For Sheng, 55, the goal is simply to earn enough to eat and pay rent: His income more than halved to less than 100 yuan (around $14) per day over the past few years. “Some people can’t find work for months,” said Sheng, who asked to use only his surname. “People are here looking for jobs 24 hours a day.” The group immediately swarmed one factory manager who pulled up on an electric scooter. She offered 20 yuan an hour to sew trousers — less than half the federal US minimum wage — and quickly found a few takers. “Last year was the worst since I joined the industry a decade ago,” said the manager, who asked to be identified by her surname Yuan. Her clothing company made a loss for the first time in 2025, and profit margins dropped to less than a single yuan per item. President Xi Jinping ’s increasingly powerful export machine stunned the world last year by generating a record $1.2 trillion trade surplus even after US counterpart Donald Trump raised American tariffs to the highest in nearly a century. Leaders from Europe to South America have warned that unstoppable Chinese exports threaten to decimate local industries. Yet in China’s sprawling Guangdong province, long the main engine driving the nation’s manufacturing prowess, ordinary workers have seen a sharp decline in their living standards. Interviews with some two dozen workers and business owners painted a bleak picture of falling salaries and disappearing jobs. For the ruling Communist Party, the disconnect between China’s strong exports and strained households is a warning after Xi devoted years to pivoting his economy toward high-end manufacturing, a mission reinforced at this month’s annual parliamentary meetings. Future technologies such as batteries, cars and chips — deemed essential for competing with the US — a...
