A 31-year-old Georgia woman has been charged with murder by police who say she took pills to induce an illegal abortion. If state prosecutors decide to move forward with the murder charge brought by local police against Alexia Moore, her case would be one of the first instances of a woman being charged for terminating a pregnancy in Georgia since it passed a 2019 law banning most abortions. The arrest warrant charging Moore with murder uses language that echoes the law, saying police determined that Moore had been pregnant beyond six weeks “based on the medical staff’s knowledge that the baby had a beating heart and was struggling to breathe”. “No one should be criminalized for having an abortion,” Dana Sussman, senior vice-president of the advocacy group Pregnancy Justice said in a statement, calling Moore’s case “an unprecedented murder charge for an alleged abortion”. Court records say Moore arrived at a hospital on 30 December complaining of abdominal pain. She told medical workers that she had taken misoprostol, a drug used in medication abortions, and the opioid painkiller oxycodone, according to an arrest warrant obtained by police in Kingsland, about 100 miles (160km) south of Savannah. The fetus survived for about an hour after being delivered at the hospital, the warrant says. The police investigator obtaining the warrant wrote that Moore told the nursing staff: “I know my infant is suffering, because I am the one who did the abortion. I want her to die.” Georgia bans abortion after embryonic cardiac activity can be detected. That’s generally at about six weeks’ gestation – before many women know they’re pregnant. Moore has been jailed in coastal Camden county since 4 March on charges of murder and illegal drug possession, according to online jail records. Moore’s mother said she had no immediate comment when reached by phone on Thursday. A spokesperson for the Georgia Public Defender Council confirmed that one of its attorneys is representing Moore but ma...

Intuitive Machines, Inc. (LUNR) came out with a quarterly loss of $0.04 per share in line with the Zacks Consensus Estimate. This compares to earnings of $0.04 per share a year ago. These figures are adjusted for non-recurring items. This quarterly report represents an earnings surprise of +4.76%. A quarter ago, it was expected that this company would post a loss of $0.04 per share when it actually produced a loss of $0.06, delivering a surprise of -50%. Over the last four quarters, the company has surpassed consensus EPS estimates just once. Intuitive Machines, Inc., which belongs to the Zacks Aerospace - Defense industry, posted revenues of $44.79 million for the quarter ended December 2025, missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 16.05%. This compares to year-ago revenues of $54.66 million. The company has topped consensus revenue estimates just once over the last four quarters. The sustainability of the stock's immediate price movement based on the recently-released numbers and future earnings expectations will mostly depend on management's commentary on the earnings call. Intuitive Machines, Inc. shares have added about 11.6% since the beginning of the year versus the S&P 500's decline of 3.2%. What's Next for Intuitive Machines, Inc.? While Intuitive Machines, Inc. has outperformed the market so far this year, the question that comes to investors' minds is: what's next for the stock? There are no easy answers to this key question, but one reliable measure that can help investors address this is the company's earnings outlook. Not only does this include current consensus earnings expectations for the coming quarter(s), but also how these expectations have changed lately. Empirical research shows a strong correlation between near-term stock movements and trends in earnings estimate revisions. Investors can track such revisions by themselves or rely on a tried-and-tested rating tool like the Zacks Rank, which has an impressive track record of harnessing the power...

Meta Platforms: Key Insights for Investors Meta Platforms (META) has recently attracted significant attention among investors searching for trending stocks. If you're considering META, it's important to examine several critical factors that could influence its short-term performance. Recent Stock Performance In the past month, Meta Platforms' shares have declined by 5.9%. For comparison, the Zacks S&P 500 composite index dropped 3.6%, while the Zacks Internet - Software sector, which includes Meta, fell by 1.3%. This raises the question: where might Meta's stock be headed next? What Drives Stock Movements? While news headlines or speculation can cause quick price swings, long-term stock performance is ultimately determined by fundamental factors. Understanding these elements is essential for making informed investment decisions. Earnings Forecast Updates At Zacks, the focus is on changes in earnings projections, as these are strong indicators of a stock's fair value. When analysts revise their earnings estimates upward, it often signals that the stock is undervalued, which can attract buyers and push the price higher.

For the current quarter, Meta is projected to earn $6.67 per share, a 3.7% increase from the same period last year. This estimate has not changed in the past 30 days. The consensus estimate for the full year stands at $29.75 per share, up 26.7% from last year, with no recent changes.

Earnings Call Insights: Aveanna Healthcare Holdings Inc. (AVAH) Q4 2025 Management View CEO Jeffrey Shaner highlighted a fourth quarter revenue of approximately $662 million, a 27.4% increase over the prior year, and adjusted EBITDA of $85 million, up 54%. Full year 2025 revenue reached about $2.433 billion, and adjusted EBITDA was $320.8 million. Shaner stated, "our fourth quarter and full year 2025 results did benefit from a 53rd week due to our accounting calendar." He emphasized the success of the preferred payer and government affairs strategies, noting, "By focusing our clinical capacity on our preferred payers, we achieved solid year-over-year growth in revenue and adjusted EBITDA." Shaner also announced the acquisition of Family First Homecare, expected to close in Q2 2026, and set a goal to add eight new preferred payer agreements in 2026, targeting 38 by year-end. Shaner detailed segment performance, reporting 10 rate enhancements in Private Duty Services (PDS) for 2025 and outlining expectations for high single-digit state rate enhancements in 2026. Home Health episodic mix was 78%, with 25% year-over-year episodic volume growth. He said, "We believe our episodic payer mix will remain above 75% with organic growth rates approaching double digits." Shaner noted that Medical Solutions Q4 volume grew to approximately 92,000 unique patients, up 3.4% over the prior year, with expectations for mid-single digit growth in early 2026 and a return to double-digit growth by year end.

Nick David/DigitalVision via Getty Images Caleres, Inc. ( CAL ) reported Q4 '25 results . The results had more negatives than positives, but the stock reacted very positively (up almost 20% on the day after the release). The reason behind the rally is probably that the company guided for a strong recovery in earnings next year. Coming back to the quarter, it was not very good. Organic sales were basically flat, but the company still posted a lot of deleverage, to the point that adjusted operating earnings excluding Stuart Weitzman were almost zero After that move, I believe the stock is now more or less fairly priced. At around $10.5 per share, and using management’s FY26 adjusted EPS guidance of $1.35 to $1.65, the stock trades at about 6.5x to 8x earnings. That looks optically cheap, but for a leveraged footwear brand with basically breakeven margins in many recent quarters, in a difficult consumer context, I think that is fair rather than attractive. I maintain a Hold. Q4 '25 results The company's results need to be read with and without the acquisition of Stuart Weitzman. Fortunately, the company did provide most of the separate figures in the call . The company reported Q4 sales up ~9% YoY, but this was almost entirely because of Stuart Weitzman. Excluding SW, sales were basically flat versus last year. Brand Portfolio sales were up 20% as reported, but only up 1.5% organically. Famous Footwear (the retail chain of the company) had sales down 1.2%, with comps basically flat. Further, I worry a little about the quality of the sales in the flat organic picture. Management highlighted double-digit e-commerce growth for FF and good e-commerce growth for the brand portfolio. E-commerce is usually worse structurally for margin because of fulfillment and customer acquisition costs. Excluding SW, adjusted gross margins were down 60bps. The more important point is inside Brand Portfolio, where adjusted gross margin excluding SW was down 120bps YoY, due to tariffs and ma...

March E-mini S&P futures (ESH26) fell -0.24%, and March E-mini Nasdaq futures (NQH26) fell -0.25%. Global stock and bond markets settled lower on Thursday on concerns that the world’s central banks will tighten monetary policy to keep inflation in check as energy prices soar amid an escalating war in Iran. US stock indexes added to Wednesday’s sharp losses on Thursday, with the S&P 500, the Dow Jones Industrials, and the Nasdaq 100 falling to 3.75-month lows. Join 200K+ Subscribers: However, stocks recovered most of their early losses on Thursday when WTI crude oil prices (CLJ26) gave up an early rally and sold off after Israel said it is helping the US open the Strait of Hormuz. Crude prices also tumbled after Treasury Secretary Bessent said the US will continue to take steps to add supplies to oil markets, including the possible removal of sanctions on Iranian crude already in transit or a new unilateral release of emergency crude reserves. Stocks initially sold off on Thursday amid hawkish comments from the BOE, ECB, and BOJ that pushed global bond yields higher, as they warned that the Iran war poses upside inflation risks, fueling speculation that the central banks may pursue tighter monetary policies. The 10-year German Bund yield rose to a 2.25-year high of 3.01%, the 10-year T-note yield rose to a 6.75-month high of 4.32%, and the 10-year UK Gilt yield climbed to a 14-month high of 4.91%.

(RTTNews) - The South Korea stock market ticked higher again on Thursday, one session after ending the two-day winning streak in which it had picked up almost 50 points or 2 percent. The KOSPI now sits just beneath the 2,600-point plateau although it may turn lower again on Friday. The global forecast for the Asian markets is soft on ebbing optimism over the outlook for interest rates. The European and U.S. markets finished slightly lower and the Asian bourses are expected to follow that lead. The KOSPI finished slightly higher on Thursday following gains from the financial shares and mixed performances from the industrial, technology and chemical companies. For the day, the index perked 4.80 points or 0.19 percent to finish at 2,599.16. Among the actives, Shinhan Financial rallied 2.53 percent, while KB Financial collected 0.56 percent, Hana Financial perked 0.16 percent, Samsung Electronics tanked 2.32 percent, Samsung SDI fell 0.40 percent, LG Electronics sank 0.82 percent, SK Hynix surged 4.89 percent, Naver soared 3.73 percent, LG Chem retreated 1.25 percent, Lotte Chemical strengthened 1.33 percent, S-Oil tumbled 1.90 percent, SK Innovation accelerated 3.89 percent, POSCO declined 1.20 percent, SK Telecom climbed 1.10 percent, KEPCO shed 0.50 percent, Hyundai Mobis spiked 2.07 percent, Kia Motors advanced 1.20 percent and Hyundai Motor was unchanged. The lead from Wall Street suggests mild consolidation as the major averages opened slightly under water on Thursday and pretty much stayed that way throughout the session. The Dow shed 57.88 points or 0.14 percent to finish at 42,454.12, while the NASDAQ dipped 9.57 points or 0.05 percent to close at 18,282.05 and the S&P 500 sank 11.99 points or 0.21 percent to end at 5,780.05. The modest weakness on Wall Street followed the release of a highly anticipated Labor Department report showing consumer prices in the U.S. increased by slightly more than expected in the month of September. The bigger than expected increa...
