Earnings Call Insights: Biofrontera Inc. (BFRI) Q4 2025 Management View CEO Hermann Lubbert stated that fiscal year 2025 was a “transformational year” for Biofrontera, highlighting record annual revenues of $41.7 million, with Q4 revenue reaching $17.1 million, the highest quarterly revenue in the company’s history. Lubbert attributed this growth to “the strength of our commercial execution and the growing adoption of Ameluz PDT across the dermatology community.” Lubbert announced the closing of a new asset purchase agreement with Biofrontera AG, resulting in the acquisition of all U.S. rights, approvals, and patents for Ameluz and RhodoLED. He emphasized that “the new royalty, our earn-out structure is 12% when annual U.S. Ameluz net sales are at or below $65 million and 15% in years where they exceed that threshold. This replaces a transfer pricing model that previously ranged anywhere from 25% to 35% of revenue.” Lubbert highlighted clinical progress, including the submission of a supplemental NDA for sBCC with a PDUFA target action date of September 28, 2026, and positive Phase III results for actinic keratosis on the extremities, neck, and trunk. He said, “We anticipate filing a supplemental NDA in Q3 of 2026 to expand the label for Ameluz.” Chief Commercial Officer George Jones detailed that “Ameluz’s unit volumes for full year 2025 increased meaningfully. Fourth quarter unit volumes were particularly strong at approximately 49,840 tubes.” Jones reported the successful launch of an inside sales pilot in Q4, with plans for a full rollout in 2026. CFO Eugene Leffler stated, “Revenues for the fourth quarter of 2025 were approximately $17.1 million compared with $12.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2024. This is an increase of approximately 36%.” Leffler added, “Our gross profit on sales improved significantly, going from about 58% to 82% in the fourth quarter of 2025.” Outlook Lubbert indicated that the company expects “the full benefit of the new cost structur...

After six years on the sidelines, Uber is making a clear push to deploy its own robotaxis again, with deal structures that seem designed to limit its risk. It’s a significant reversal from a few years ago, when Uber sold its self‑driving unit, ATG, after a fatal crash in 2018 and years of heavy losses. Since then, Uber has gone a different path—inking deals with nearly every major robotaxi player in the market, from Waymo to WeRide. It’s only Tesla that doesn’t work with the ride-hail company, though that wasn’t for lack of trying on Uber’s part. In all of those deals, Uber has integrated other companies’ AV fleets into its app; the AV companies own and operate the cars. That’s changing. First, there was the deal with Lucid Motors in 2025 to purchase and deploy up to 20,000 vehicles equipped with Nuro’s autonomy stack. On Thursday, Uber announced a similar deal with Rivian for its yet‑to‑be‑built R2 platform. The company is planning to purchase 10,000 fully autonomous R2‑based robotaxis if Rivian meets development and validation milestones, with an option to scale to 50,000, according to SEC filings and company statements. Uber is also making a $300 million investment in the company as part of the deal, and potentially another $950 million more should Rivian meet certain, undisclosed development requirements. Rivian has also agreed not to sell fully autonomous vehicles to Uber’s direct ride‑hailing rivals for a specified exclusivity period, according to the SEC filing. Uber is planning to deploy the new fleet in San Francisco and Miami in 2028, and hopes to be in 25 cities by 2031, the companies said. Uber said in January it was still planning to deploy Lucid vehicles later this year. To be clear, there’s still a lot that will need to happen first for the Rivian deal. Rivian laid out what its R2 autonomy platform will look like in December—a multi-modal sensor suite with 11 cameras, five radars, and one LiDAR that is built on two of Rivian’s in-house RAP1 chips—but ...

Getty Images By Ezequiel Gomes Ethereum ( ETH-USD ) is being traded around $2,130 this Thursday, March 19. It was able to lift above the overnight low for some time during the day, but the rebound turned inevitable as markets continued to digest the Federal Reserve stance that offered no relief for risk assets. Ethereum no longer looks comfortably range-bound. What had started as a pause above $2,300 has turned into a lower trading shelf, with price now leaning on the $2,100 area and testing whether buyers still have the appetite to absorb dips. The chart does not show full-scale capitulation, but it also does not show much urgency from the long side. Bounces in price have been brief, and the market keeps fading before it can rebuild any rhythm above the closest resistances. A fall under $2,100 would leave traders looking toward the $2,050 region first and then the deeper $2,000 marker. If price manages to recover from the current value, the first zone that needs to give way sits around $2,200, while a stronger repair would only start to look credible closer to $2,280 and above. ETH-USD price dynamics (Source: TradingView) Monetary policy and the hunt for yield The broader macroeconomic environment continues to dictate the pace of Ethereum’s recovery. By maintaining the current federal funds rate while acknowledging that the path to 2% inflation remains bumpy, the central bank has effectively sidelined the most aggressive bears. This “wait-and-see” stance from policymakers has stabilized the U.S. Dollar Index, which in turn has relieved the downward pressure on dollar-denominated digital assets that characterized Wednesday’s trading session. Internal network dynamics are also playing a role in the current price floor. The total amount of Ethereum participating in staking protocols has reached a new all-time high of 30% of the total supply. This massive reduction in liquid, exchange-available tokens is creating a structural supply crunch that competes with macro-dri...

Douglas Rissing DoubleLine Capital CEO Jeffrey Gundlach warned Thursday that the Federal Reserve’s next move could be a rate hike rather than the cuts many investors had anticipated. With a war-induced surge in global energy prices stoking near-term inflation fears, “the 2 year U.S. Treasury yield has risen 50 basis points in less than three weeks. It now suggests one Fed HIKE may be coming,” Gundlach posted on X. His warning comes as Wall Street has stopped believing in an interest-rate cut this year by the Fed. Traders have now wiped out the last fully priced bet for a 2026 rate reduction, a shift that follows the Fed’s decision a day ago to hold its policy rate steady at 3.50% to 3.75% while maintaining a single quarter-point cut in its median 2026 outlook. The policy-sensitive two-year Treasury yield ( US2Y ) ( SHY ) climbed to a seven-month high earlier in the session as markets moved a step more hawkish than the Fed itself, with some 6% odds of a Fed hike now baked into futures pricing. At least two 2026 rate cuts had been penciled in before the war started and sent energy prices sharply higher.

Looking at the universe of stocks we cover at Dividend Channel, in trading on Monday, shares of Target Corp (Symbol: TGT) were yielding above the 4% mark based on its quarterly dividend (annualized to $4.4), with the stock changing hands as low as $105.75 on the day.

Looking at the universe of stocks we cover at Dividend Channel, in trading on Monday, shares of Target Corp (Symbol: TGT) were yielding above the 4% mark based on its quarterly dividend (annualized to $4.4), with the stock changing hands as low as $105.75 on the day. Dividends are particularly important for investors to consider, because historically speaking dividends have provided a considerable share of the stock market's total return. To illustrate, suppose for example you purchased shares of the S&P 500 ETF (SPY) back on 12/31/1999 — you would have paid $146.88 per share. Fast forward to 12/31/2012 and each share was worth $142.41 on that date, a decrease of $4.67/share over all those years. But now consider that you collected a whopping $25.98 per share in dividends over the same period, for a positive total return of 23.36%. Even with dividends reinvested, that only amounts to an average annual total return of about 1.6%; so by comparison collecting a yield above 4% would appear considerably attractive if that yield is sustainable. Target Corp (Symbol: TGT) is an S&P 500 company, giving it special status as one of the large-cap companies making up the S&P 500 Index. In general, dividend amounts are not always predictable and tend to follow the ups and downs of profitability at each company. In the case of Target Corp, looking at the history chart for TGT below can help in judging whether the most recent dividend is likely to continue, and in turn whether it is a reasonable expectation to expect a 4% annual yield. TGT has been growing its dividend for more than 20 years consecutively. For more dividend growth stocks view our Dividend Aristocrats List on Dividend Channel.

Lemon_tm/iStock via Getty Images By Elior Manier The past day's FOMC session wasn't easy on investor sentiment, as a coordinated oil–petrodollar–hawkish–repricing attack played war on stock bulls. The downtrend in global indexes is now more severe – the pricing out of cuts , leaving the way open for hikes in central banks, was confirmed by the streak of hawkishness resounding in rate decision press conferences. The Swiss National Bank, Bank of Japan, Bank of England, and European Central Bank confirmed once again that the rise in energy commodities and supply shocks would bar the way for any soft prints in prices and that, without accounting for the direct effect of oil price rises on goods, they have also raised concerns about economic growth. Global central banks are now back to hawkish. It's been difficult to justify buying stocks in this environment – See how global stock benchmarks have struggled. Global Stocks Performance. March 19, 2026 – Source: TradingView One particular element that did not help risk sentiment was that Brent prices , which track more closely with ex-American energy prices, have largely decoupled from WTI – Brent spiked back to $116 per barrel overnight and holds right around $110, creating a new wave of anxiety around the globe. On the North American side, however, WTI oil is holding below $100 per barrel, and this has been helping to contain the market open. What is sure, at least, is that metals haven't liked the new rise in Brent the slightest – gold is down 3% from the previous session and now down 15% from its $5,400 war highs. Oil 1H Chart. March 19, 2026 – Source: TradingView The previous session's news around attacks on Iranian and Qatari/Saudi energy infrastructures created the gigantic movement and divergence in commodities.

Bots are taking over the web, according to Cloudflare CEO Matthew Prince. In an interview at the SXSW conference in Austin this week, he said that with the speed at which artificial intelligence is growing, AI bot traffic will exceed the amount of human traffic that’s online by 2027. Prince explained that bots’ web usage has been increasing alongside the growth of generative AI technology because bots are capable of visiting far more sites to get answers for users’ chatbot queries. “If a human were doing a task — let’s say you were shopping for a digital camera — and you might go to five websites. Your agent or the bot that’s doing that will often go to 1,000 times the number of sites that an actual human would visit,” Prince said. “So it might go to 5,000 sites. And that’s real traffic, and that’s real load, which everyone is having to deal with and take into account.” Before the generative AI era, the internet was only about 20% bot traffic, with Google’s web crawler being the largest, according to Prince, whose infrastructure and security company is used by one-fifth of all websites. But beyond some other reputable crawlers, the only other bots were those used by scammers and bad actors. “With the rise of generative AI, and its just insatiable need for data, we’re seeing a rise where we suspect that, in 2027, the amount of bot traffic online will exceed the amount of human traffic that’s online,” Prince said. The executive also noted that this change to the web would require the development of new technologies, like sandboxes for AI agents that can be spun up on the fly and then torn down when their task has finished. These could come into play when consumers ask AI agents to perform certain tasks on their behalf, like planning a vacation. “What we’re trying to think about is, how do we actually build that underlying infrastructure where you can — as easily as you open a new tab in your browser — you can actually spin up new code, which can then run and service t...
