MILWAUKEE, March 03, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Weyco Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: WEYS) (“we,” “our,” “us” and the “Company”) today announced financial results for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2025. Fourth Quarter 2025 Overview Net sales: $76.8 million (down 5% from $80.5 million in Q4 2024) Gross earnings: 44.1% of net sales (compared to 47.9% of net sales in Q4 2024) Earnings from operations: ...
MILWAUKEE, March 03, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Weyco Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: WEYS) (“we,” “our,” “us” and the “Company”) today announced financial results for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2025. Fourth Quarter 2025 Overview Net sales: $76.8 million (down 5% from $80.5 million in Q4 2024) Gross earnings: 44.1% of net sales (compared to 47.9% of net sales in Q4 2024) Earnings from operations: $10.2 million (down 12% compared to $11.5 million in Q4 2024) Net earnings: $8.7 million (down 13% from $10.0 million in Q4 2024) Diluted earnings per share: $0.91 (down from $1.04 in Q4 2024) North American Wholesale Segment Wholesale net sales were $56.7 million for the quarter, down 6% from $60.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2024. Sales were down due to lower shipping volumes, partially mitigated by our July 1, 2025 price increases. Sales of our Nunn Bush and Stacy Adams brands were both down 13% for the quarter, with sales volumes down across most trade channels amid ongoing uncertainty in the retail environment caused by tariffs and price increases. BOGS sales declined 6% for the quarter due to a reduction in pairs shipped, a reflection of continued softness in the seasonal footwear category, and Florsheim sales decreased 1% for the quarter. Wholesale gross earnings as a percent of net sales were 37.2% and 42.4% in the fourth quarters of 2025 and 2024, respectively. Gross margins for the quarter were negatively impacted by incremental tariffs, as discussed below. Although selling price increases helped mitigate the effect of these tariffs, they did not fully offset the resulting costs, leading to margin erosion for the period. Wholesale selling and administrative expenses totaled $12.7 million, or 23% of net sales, for the quarter versus $16.7 million, or 28% of net sales, last year. The decreases were largely due to lower employee costs in 2025. Wholesale operating earnings totaled $8.4 million for the quarter, down 6% from $8.9 million in 2024, due to lower sales...

Key Points Instead of betting on who wins the AI model race, these stocks let you invest in the companies supplying the tools everyone needs. The next phase of the AI boom isn’t just in GPUs. It’s in cooling, networking, automation, and security systems. 10 stocks we like better than Teradata › I've always been skeptical of artificial intelligence (AI) stocks, not because I doubt the technology, but because I think the sector is packed with inflated valuations, funding bubbles -- and, frankly, hype. That said, I genuinely believe the stocks below are the true cornerstones of AI infrastructure and have the potential to build serious wealth over time. For investors with patience and the stomach for volatility, today's under-the-radar AI enablers could become tomorrow's millionaire makers. Will AI create the world's first trillionaire? Our team just released a report on the one little-known company, called an "Indispensable Monopoly" providing the critical technology Nvidia and Intel both need. Continue » I chose these tickers because they aren't the poster children of the AI boom, and that's the point. My first two tickers wire the brains of the modern data center, while my final three push AI deeper into business workflows and the data layers that support them. All five have what it takes to generate market-beating returns. 1. Super Micro Computer Super Micro Computer (NASDAQ: SMCI) is the solid plumbing behind the AI boom. The company, commonly known as Supermicro, builds high‑performance, GPU‑dense servers and rack‑scale systems that hyperscalers and enterprises use for AI clusters. So, as spending on AI data centers explodes, every new rack needs exactly the kind of liquid‑cooled, power‑efficient designs Supermicro specializes in. My bullish thesis is simple: AI capital expenditures are shifting from just buying GPUs to optimizing full data‑center stacks (think power, cooling, and density). Supermicro's ability to quickly customize for Nvidia and other custom acc...

"FY26 will go down in our history books as CrowdStrike's best year yet," said George Kurtz, CrowdStrike's Founder and CEO. "We achieved $5.25 billion in ending ARR - the fastest and only pure-play cybersecurity software company to achieve this milestone - driven by a record $1.01 billion of net new ARR, our first year exceeding $1 billion of net new ARR. We also delivered record operating and free cash flow for both the quarter and year. Our record results showcase the durability of our growth and cash flow generation.

Intel Corp. named Craig H. Barratt as its next chairman, putting a tech veteran in the role at a time when the company is trying to reassert its chipmaking prowess. Barratt, who already serves on the board, will replace Frank Yeary in the chairman job after the annual meeting on May 13, Intel said in a statement Tuesday. Yeary, who joined the board in 2009 and led it since 2023, is a former investment banker. Barratt previously ran Atheros Communications , which was acquired by Qualcomm Inc. , and held key roles at Alphabet Inc. ’s Google . He also served as chief executive officer of startup Barefoot Networks , which was bought by Intel in 2019. The executive, who has a strikingly similar name to former Intel CEO and Chairman Craig Barrett , joined the board last year. Barratt, a Stanford University -educated Australian, takes over the board at a precarious moment. The company has suffered years of sluggish sales and shrinking market share, but Chief Executive Officer Lip-Bu Tan is trying to restore the company to its former glory. Tan, an Intel board veteran himself, is a year into his turnaround bid as CEO. Though he’s had success attracting investments from the US government, Nvidia Corp. and others, he still needs to show that Intel can field a competitive product line and attract outside customers to its factory network. “Craig brings deep semiconductor expertise and a strong record of technology and operational leadership in complex, engineering-driven businesses,” Tan said in the statement. “As we enter our next phase — focused on disciplined execution, product leadership and foundry progress — his experience will be instrumental in supporting management and driving sustainable long-term value for stockholders.” Tan has already made a series of changes to Intel’s leadership, bringing in outside executives to crucial roles. Yeary and the board said Tan’s contacts in the industry were part of the reason for choosing him to replace his ousted predecessor, Pat G...

A glimpse of Iran, through the eyes of its artists and journalists toggle caption NEON; Pantheon; Gandom Films Production; NEON; Vintage; Julia Gunther for NPR Few Americans have had the opportunity to visit or explore Iran, an ethnically diverse nation of over 90 million people which has been effectively shut off from the United States since the Iranian revolution of 1979. Now, with a U.S. and Israeli-led war on Iran underway, the ideas, feelings and opinions of Iranians may feel less accessible. However, some recent books, films and music made by artists and journalists in Iran and from the Iranian diaspora can help illuminate this ancient culture and its contemporary politics. These suggestions are just a starting point, of course — with an emphasis on recent works made by Iranians themselves, rather than by outsiders looking in. Sponsor Message Books For the Sun After Long Nights: The Story of Iran's Women-Led Uprising, by Fatemeh Jamalpour and Nilo Tabrizy Pantheon There are quite a few excellent titles that deconstruct the history of Iran from ancient times through the rule of the Pahlavi Dynasty to the Iranian Revolution. But there are far fewer books that help us understand the Iran of 2026 and the people who live there now. One standout is the National Book Award-nominated For the Sun After Long Nights: The Story of Iran's Women-Led Uprising by journalists Fatemeh Jamalpour and Nilo Tabrizy, which chronicles — almost in real time — the Woman, Life, Freedom movement that began in 2022, during which Jamalpour was working secretly as a journalist in Tehran. In 2024-25, Jamalpour (who is now living in exile in the U.S.) and I spent a year together at the University of Michigan's Knight-Wallace fellowship for journalists; her insights into contemporary Iran are among the best.

May NY world sugar #11 (SBK26) on Tuesday closed up +0.02 (+0.14%), and May London ICE white sugar #5 (SWK26) closed up +0.80 (+0.19%). Sugar prices posted modest gains on Tuesday, supported by surging crude oil prices. WTI crude (CLJ26) rose more than +4% on Tuesday to an 8.5-month high, which benefits ethanol prices and may prompt the world's sugar producers to divert more cane crushing toward ethanol production rather than sugar, thus reducing sugar supplies. Gains in sugar were limited due to Tuesday's rally in the dollar index ($DXY) to a 3.25-month high. Don’t Miss a Day: On February 12, sugar prices plunged to 5.25-year nearest-futures lows on concern that a global sugar surplus will persist. On February 11, analysts from sugar trader Czarnikow said they expect a global sugar surplus of 3.4 MMT in the 2026/27 crop year, following an 8.3 MMT surplus in 2025/26. Also, Green Pool Commodity Specialists said on January 29 that they expect a 2.74 MMT global sugar surplus for 2025/26 and a 156,000 MT surplus for 2026/27. Meanwhile, StoneX said February 13 that it expects a global sugar surplus of 2.9 MMT in 2025/26. Last Friday, the International Sugar Organization (ISO) forecast a +1.22 MMT (million metric ton) sugar surplus in 2025-26, below an earlier projection of +1.63 MMT. That follows a -3.46 MMT deficit in 2024-25. ISO said the surplus is being driven by increased sugar production in India, Thailand, and Pakistan. ISO is forecasting a +3.0% y/y rise in global sugar production to 181.3 million MMT in 2025-26. Signs of lower sugar output in Brazil are supportive of sugar prices, after Unica on February 18 reported that sugar production in Brazil's Center-South in the second half of January fell by -36% y/y to only 5,000 MT. However, cumulative 2025-26 Center-South sugar output through January is up by +0.9% y/y to 40.24 MMT. Also, the ratio of cane crushed for sugar rose to 50.74% in 2025/26 from 48.14% in 2024/25. Consulting firm Safras & Mercado said on Dece...

May ICE NY cocoa (CCK26) on Tuesday closed down -6 (-0.20%), and May ICE London cocoa #7 (CAK26) closed up +22 (+1.04%). Cocoa prices are settled mixed on Tuesday as currency fluctuations affected prices. Tuesday's rally in the dollar index ($DXY) to a 3.25-month high undercut NY cocoa, while Tuesday's decline in the British pound (^GBPUSD) to a 3-month low boosted London cocoa. Don’t Miss a Day: On Monday, May NY cocoa posted a contract low, and nearest-futures London cocoa (H26) fell to a 3-year low after the International Cocoa Organization (ICCO) raised its global 2024/25 cocoa surplus estimate to 75,000 MT from a November forecast of +49,000 MT, the first surplus in four years. The ICCO also forecasts global cocoa production in 2024/25 will climb by +8.4% y/y to 4.7 MMT. Cocoa prices are in the midst of a seven-week-long downtrend, with NY cocoa falling to a 2.75-year low last Friday amid robust global supplies and slack demand. On January 29, StoneX forecasted a global cocoa surplus of 287,000 MT in the 2025/26 season and a 267,000 MT surplus for 2026/27. Also, the International Cocoa Organization (ICCO) reported on January 23 that global cocoa stocks rose +4.2% y/y to 1.1 MMT. International cocoa buyers are reluctant to pay official farm-gate prices in the Ivory Coast and Ghana, which are well above current world prices. The lack of buyers is boosting supplies as ICE cocoa inventories rose to a 6.5-month high of 2,200,058 bags on Tuesday. Last month, Ghana cut the official price it pays its cocoa farmers by nearly 30% for supplies for the 2025/26 growing season, and the Ivory Coast said it was considering a 35% cut in prices that would kick in for the mid-crop harvest that starts in April. The Ivory Coast and Ghana produce more than half of the world's cocoa. Favorable growing conditions in West Africa are also a negative factor for cocoa prices. Tropical General Investments Group recently said that favorable growing conditions in West Africa are expected to ...

May arabica coffee (KCK26) on Tuesday closed down -1.45 (-0.51%), and May ICE robusta coffee (RMK26) closed down -67 (-1.78%). Coffee prices gave up an early advance on Tuesday and settled lower, with arabica falling from a 1-week high and robusta sliding from a 2-week high. Weakness in the Brazilian real sparked long liquidation in coffee futures on Tuesday after the real (^USDBRL) fell to a 1.5-month low against the dollar. The weaker real encourages export sales from Brazil's coffee producers. Don’t Miss a Day: Supply concerns initially boosted coffee prices on Tuesday as the war in Iran has halted shipping traffic through the Strait of Hormuz, boosting global shipping rates, insurance, and fuel costs, which will raise costs for coffee importers and roasters. Beneficial rains in Brazil have improved the outlook for the country's coffee crop, and are a bearish factor for prices. Somar Meteorologia reported Monday that Brazil's largest arabica coffee-growing area, Minas Gerais, received 78 mm of rain during the week ended February 20, or 131% of the historical average. Coffee prices have sold off sharply over the past five weeks, with arabica falling to a 15-month low last Tuesday and robusta tumbling to a 6.75-month low last Monday as signs of a bumper Brazilian coffee crop have improved the global supply outlook. On February 5, Conab, Brazil's crop forecasting agency, said that Brazil's 2026 coffee production will climb by +17.2% y/y to a record 66.2 million bags, with arabica production up +23.2% y/y to 44.1 million bags and robusta production up +6.3% y/y to 22.1 million bags. Meanwhile, last Wednesday, Rabobank said that global coffee production is projected to reach a record 180 million bags in the 2026/27 season, up by about 8 million bags from a year earlier. Soaring coffee exports from Vietnam, the world's largest robusta producer, are bearish for robusta prices. On February 6, Vietnam's National Statistics Office reported that Vietnam's Jan coffee exports...

imaginima/E+ via Getty Images Energy stocks have led market gains over the past few days as the U.S.-Israel-Iran conflict intensifies, with crude oil prices surging over 9% to near $80/barrel on fears of supply chokepoints like the Strait of Hormuz and potential strikes on Iranian oil facilities or Saudi infrastructure. The Energy Select Sector SPDR ETF ( XLE ) has jumped sharply, reflecting broad strength across integrated majors. Amid the rally, value hunters are zeroing in on a handful of energy-related stocks trading at deeply depressed price-to-earnings (P/E) multiples below 10, which is a threshold often signaling undervaluation relative to historical norms and peers. Standouts include Edison International ( EIX ) (P/E 6.44), AES Corporation ( AES ) (9.38), Ferrellgas Partners ( FGPR ) (2.63), and Star Group L.P. ( SGU ) (6.80), which screen as bargains despite the sector's momentum. A P/E below 10 means the stock trades at less than 10 times its annual earnings per share, a fundamental metric prized by value investors as it implies a modest price tag for each dollar of profits generated. Whether these low-P/E names represent true opportunities or traps in a volatile war-driven market depends on sustained oil prices and broader economic fallout.
