Earnings Call Insights: BRC Group Holdings (RILY) Q4 2025 Management View Bryant Riley (Co-Founder, Chairman & Co-CEO) said the company “filed on time” its 10-K, calling it “an important milestone for our counterparties, shareholders and the organization as a whole,” and framed the last two years as a period of “rebuilding our balance sheet, shifting operations, refocusing parts of the platform and positioning BRC GH for what comes next.” Riley highlighted 2025 profitability and deleveraging, saying, “In 2025, we reported net income available to common shareholders of $299.4 million and earnings per share of $9.80. We reduced net debt significantly,” and added that the firm “welcomed the new CFO, Scott Yessner, enhanced our finance staff and transitioned to BDO as our auditing partner.” Riley positioned small- and mid-cap conditions as supportive of BRC’s core franchise, saying “traditional lenders have pulled back,” and that demand for BRC’s capabilities “is growing,” while announcing, “yesterday, we announced BRC Specialty Finance, a dedicated platform” aimed at that gap. Riley also cited litigation developments: “the Delaware Court of Chancery dismissed, in full, the Marstons versus Riley derivative action,” adding, “We will not be commenting further on pending litigation.” Thomas Kelleher (Co-Founder, Co-CEO & Director) detailed 2025 divestitures used to deleverage, including “the sale of Atlantic Coast recycling for a purchase price of approximately $102 million with net cash proceeds…of approximately $69 million,” a partial sale of W2 Wealth “representing…approximately $4 billion in assets under management for a net consideration of $26 million,” and the sale of GlassRatner and B. Riley Farber advisory “generating cash consideration of approximately $118 million.” Kelleher said the firm finished transition agreements tied to prior divestitures and emphasized cost actions in wealth: “we…consolidate[d] the clearing arrangement…which streamlines back-office opera...

Gold held three days of gains after President Donald Trump said he expected the US to end the war with Iran within two to three weeks. Bullion was steady near $4,670 an ounce in early trading, having risen 3.5% in the previous session. Trump suggested that the US had largely accomplished its military goals and would leave it to other nations to resolve issues with the Strait of Hormuz. Earlier on Tuesday, Iranian state media quoted President Masoud Pezeshkian as saying the Islamic Republic was ready to end the war if its demands are met. Read More: Trump Says US Will Leave Iran Within Two to Three Weeks Despite a rebound in the past few days, bullion’s near-12% decline in March marked its worst month since 2008. The Middle East conflict, now in its fifth week, has upended global markets and choked supplies of energy and other goods, triggering concerns about a simultaneous spike in inflation and slowdown in economic growth. Spot gold rose 0.1% to $4,670.78 an ounce as of 6:23 a.m. Singapore time. Silver gained 0.2% to $75.31. Platinum and palladium also advanced. The Bloomberg Dollar Spot Index , a gauge of the US currency, ended the previous session down 0.6%.

Idaho Passes Strictest Law In The US For Transgenders Using Incorrect Bathrooms The transgender movement is widely regarded as a political insurgency rather than a civil rights movement, and for good reason. Leftist activists often declare themselves to be "trans" as a political statement, even when they don't actually suffer from gender dysphoria, a rare mental illness that has little to do with gay rights or "social justice". Children, by extension, are easily manipulated by such activists in the form of parents and teachers, and they tend to declare they are trans in order to please the brainwashing lunatics in their lives. The idea that gender is an amorphous condition separate from biological sex is pure theory based on little or no scientific data. In a non-political and truly scientific environment gender identity claims are treated as ideological, not tangible. In other words, trans is a trend, not an inherent sexual identity group that needs to be protected from discrimination. The purpose of the transgender movement is to further deconstruct western society and inject concepts of relativity. It is designed to make us question concrete reality and abandon objective logic in favor of a perception-based society, a moral desert. Thankfully, nearly half of the states in the US are rejecting this madness and passing laws to prevent it from taking hold yet again. It took ten years, but the idea of catering to transgenders is in swift retreat. Much to the chagrin of Democrats, Idaho has recently passed one of the strictest transgender bathroom laws in the U.S. House Bill 752 requires people to use bathrooms, locker rooms, or changing rooms matching their biological sex, but that's not all. The new law applies to both government buildings and private businesses with facilities of public accommodation. This means any public bathroom, locker room, changing room etc. in any business is subject to the law. This helps to eliminate the corporate activism loophole, which ...

Stocks in Asia are poised to track a euphoric Wall Street rally on hopes that the war that’s jolted global markets and disrupted energy supplies may be nearing a conclusion. Equity futures indicate Sydney, Tokyo and Hong Kong will open at least 1% higher. S&P 500 contracts were little changed after the index jumped 2.9% on Tuesday, its biggest daily gain since May 12. A gauge of US-listed Chinese shares climbed the most in almost two months. Oil steadied early Wednesday after President Donald Trump said the US plans to leave Iran within two to three weeks, and would leave it to other nations to resolve issues with the Strait of Hormuz. West Texas Intermediate was around $102 a barrel after falling 1.5% on Tuesday. Iran’s state news agency earlier reported a phone call between European Union Council President Antonio Costa and President Masoud Pezeskhian , who said the Islamic Republic has “the necessary will to end this war,” but only with guarantees “to prevent the recurrence of aggression.” The Wall Street Journal reported that Trump and his aides assessed that a mission to reopen the Strait of Hormuz would push the war beyond his timeline of four to six weeks. He later told the New York Post the US is “not going to be there too much longer,” adding that the waterway would open “automatically” after the US leaves. “Markets have taken it on the chin for over a month and expectations may have hit a low enough point that any glimmer of hope is now much more valuable,” said Michael Bailey at FBB Capital Partners. The Tick Index , which measures the amount of equities on the New York Stock Exchange moving higher versus lower on a second-by-second basis, spiked to the highest on record at one point Tuesday. “While Trump may be considering an end to hostilities, the key issue — the status of the Strait — remaining unresolved will be what’s more important from the market’s point of view,” said Fawad Razaqzada at Forex.com. “It’s difficult to see Iran stepping back without...
