HOUSTON, Feb. 11, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Itafos Inc. (TSX-V: IFOS) (OTCQX: ITFS) (the “Company”) today announces its preliminary, unaudited Q4 2025 operational highlights and guidance for 2026. CEO Commentary “2025 marked another exceptional year for Itafos. Operating in a safe manner is our first priority, and I am proud to report that the Company had no reportable environmental releases and a Total Recordable Incident Frequency Rate (“TRIFR”) of 0.56, down from 0.86 in 2024”, said David Delaney, Chief Executive Officer of the Company. “At Conda, we maintained our US industry-leading operating rates, increasing production on a P 2 O 5 basis compared to 2024 and setting a new full-year plant production record under Itafos ownership. We finished mining at our Rasmussen Valley mine and achieved mechanical completion of the infrastructure at Husky 1 / North Dry Ridge (“H1/NDR”), delivering first ore from the new mine to the plant resulting in a seamless transition from our Rasmussen Valley Mine to H1/NDR.” “At Arraias, we generated record levels of adjusted EBITDA1, increasing production of sulfuric acid by 11% and dry fertilizers by 170% on a P 2 O 5 basis compared to 2024. We successfully restarted the granulation plant at the facility and produced a new granulated version of our SuperForte Duo product, which accounted for nearly $8 million in incremental sales during the year.” “We completed the sale of our Araxá Project and successfully monetized the equity interest received as partial consideration for the sale, generating nearly $43 million in pre-tax proceeds over the course of the year. As a result, we were able to return CAD$0.22 per share to our shareholders via two special dividends.” “As we look forward to 2026 and beyond, we are excited about new opportunities for our company and believe the industry is well positioned to benefit from a strong fundamental backdrop. At Conda, we have begun work on the magnesium reduction project that will allow us to main...

Arne Slot has said he does not believe his job security hinges on Liverpool securing Champions League qualification this spring but the Dutchman would much prefer not to put that assertion to the test. On this evidence there seems a decent chance the Champions’s manager will not have to. In finally ending Sunderland’s proud unbeaten home record in the Premier League this season, sixth placed Liverpool left themselves only three points adrift of fourth placed Manchester United and two behind fifth placed Chelsea. Régis Le Bris’s intelligent and supremely well organised side did not surrender lightly but, with Florian Wirtz continuing to go from strength to strength, Liverpool just about deserved to edge a match decided by Virgil van Dijk’s header from Mo Salah’s second half corner. The only downside for Slot was the nasty looking ankle injury sustained by Wataru Endo. It all began with both teams eyeing each other rather warily at a rain sodden Stadium of Light. With no one seeming to want to take any real risks too early the first half opened in mutually cautious, thoroughly cagey fashion. Although Liverpool had quite a bit of possession it initially foundered in the face of a meticulously organised Sunderland defence. Then, with around 30 minutes on the clock, Wirtz met Alex Mac Allister’s pass took a steadying touch and decided to try his luck from the edge of the area. While Robin Roefs did well to turn that one around a post, Sunderland’s goalkeeper was subsequently relieved to see a subsequent Wirtz shot rebound off the base of an upright after Andy Robertson’s cross bisected Le Bris’s backline. With Wirtz in increasingly catalytic mood as he assumed centre stage and Mo Salah, sporadically ruffling the already booked Reinildo, Le Bris had reason to look more than a little anxious at times. Yet his team, too, had their moments. All kaleidoscopic positional interchanging going forward, Sunderland were being fully stretched yet remained very much in the game. It w...

LorenzoT81/iStock Editorial via Getty Images Robinhood Markets, Inc. ( HOOD ) reported phenomenal results for 2025 , sending the stock to the stratosphere. The stock was due for a pullback, but now the financial services company has collapsed due to weak crypto numbers in Q4. My investment thesis is ultra Bullish on the stock after this crash, though Robinhood might need to fall to even $60 before bottoming. Source: Finviz Crypto Crash Dilemma Robinhood has a booming business with revenues surging from options transactions, prediction market growth, and a surge in net interest income. The revenue wasn't actually surging due to crypto transaction revenues, so the recent crypto dip isn't likely to crush the financials to start 2026. Source: Robinhood Markets Q4'25 presentation Robinhood reported Q4 '25 revenues grew by 27% to reach $1.28 billion. The crypto transaction revenues were only $221 million, down substantially from the record Q4'24 revenues of $358 million. The segment did report a big jump in 2025 over the minimal revenues until last Q4. The market wasn't expecting any big growth with crypto weakening in Q4. Bitcoin ( BTC-USD ) has now collapsed below $70K and has spent most of Q1 so far below 2025 levels. Robinhood clearly faces a period where trading transactions and volumes will likely be lower. The company generated more revenue from options transactions in Q4 at $314 million, but the growth mostly stalled sequentially. Either way, the financial market weakness is likely to pressure overall revenues. The January metrics aren't impressive, with crypto trading volumes down 57% to only $8.7 billion and options contracts traded only growing 20% YoY versus the 38% growth rate in Q4. As of yet, analysts haven't really cut revenue estimates for the current period. Bitcoin was up at $90K only a few weeks ago, so the major crypto and stock crash going on now wasn't present in the January metrics. Either way, investors need to understand both crypto and predictio...

Gerdau (NYSE:GGB), a Brazilian multinational steel producer, closed Wednesday at $4.35, up 2.59%. The stock moved as investors reacted to a mixed U.S. jobs report that shaped expectations for Federal Reserve rate cuts, and they are watching how shifting growth and rate views feed through to global steel demand and pricing. Trading volume reached 63 million shares, coming in about 286% above its three-month average of 16.3 million shares. Gerdau IPO'd in 1999 and has grown 1,370% since going public. How the markets moved today The broader U.S. markets finished little changed Wednesday, with the S&P 500 (SNPINDEX:^GSPC) unchanged at 6,941.5 and the Nasdaq Composite (NASDAQINDEX:^IXIC) easing 0.16% to 23,066. Within the steel industry, peers Nucor (NYSE:NUE) closed at $194.42, up 1.27%, and Steel Dynamics (NASDAQ:STLD) ended at $205.78, gaining 2.32%, as cyclicals tracked macro headlines. What this means for investors All eyes were on the January jobs report this morning and how that might influence upcoming Federal Reserve rate-cut decisions. Stocks in cyclical sectors like steel pushed higher on the strong report. Better-than-expected job growth and a continuing trend of low unemployment have investors thinking a boom in construction and other steel-intensive categories could be at hand. The U.S. added 130,000 jobs in January and unemployment fell to 4.3%. A strong economy could trend steel prices higher, giving steelmakers a strong tailwind for 2026 and possibly beyond. Gerdau’s stock is trading near a 52-week high, up 45% over the past six months. Should you buy stock in Gerdau right now?

Revenue came in below expectations, largely due to cryptocurrency weakness. Trading volume reached 68.3 million shares, coming in about 146% above its three-month average of 27.8 million shares. Robinhood Markets IPO'd in 2021 and has grown 105% since going public. How the markets moved today The S&P 500 (SNPINDEX:^GSPC) held steady at 6,941, while the Nasdaq Composite (NASDAQINDEX:^IXIC) eased 0.16% to finish at 23,066. Within financial services, industry peers Charles Schwab (NYSE:SCHW) closed at $95.45, down 3.83%, and Interactive Brokers Group (NASDAQ:IBKR) fell 1.10% to finish at $76.35. What this means for investors Cryptocurrency prices have been trending downwards since October. Lead crypto, Bitcoin (CRYPTO:BTC) lost 43% of its value in the past six months. Robinhood has fared a little better, but is still down over 30% in the same time period. It has built a name for itself as a leading crypto broker, making it susceptible to volatility in digital assets. Analysts at Piper Sandler (NYSE:PIPR), JPMorgan (NYSE:JPM), and Compass Point all cut their price targets today following mixed Q4 results. Robinhood reported a record $4.5 billion in revenue for 2025, but its Q4 figures didn’t quite meet analyst expectations. Disappointing revenue, particularly from crypto and options trading, shook investor confidence. The company continues to push into blockchain, with Robinhood Chain and decentralized finance products in the pipeline. Investors might weigh its efforts to diversify alongside wider cryptocurrency predictions. Should you buy stock in Robinhood Markets right now?

For the third quarter, SBI reported its highest-ever quarterly net profit of INR 21,028 crore, marking a 24.5% year-on-year increase. The strong earnings performance, coupled with improved asset quality, fueled investor optimism and lifted the bank's shares. Net interest income rose 9% year-on-year to INR 45,190 crore, reflecting steady growth in core lending operations. Asset quality improved sequentially, with the gross non-performing asset ratio declining to 1.57% from 1.73% in the previous quarter. Net NPAs eased to 0.39%, while provisions fell to INR 4,506 crore, signaling lower credit costs. Encouraged by the results, management raised its FY26 loan growth guidance to 13-15%, up from the earlier projection of 12-14%. SBI shares closed at INR 1,181.10, up about 3%, after hitting a 52-week high of INR 1,187.50. The bank's market capitalization reached INR 10.9 lakh crore, surpassing TCS at INR 10.53 lakh crore.

(RTTNews) - Alphabet Inc. (GOOGL) is rolling out new features that allow consumers to shop directly within its artificial intelligence products, marking a significant step in the company's effort to generate more revenue from AI-powered search and chat. In a letter to advertisers, Google announced it has begun testing new ad formats in Google Search's AI Mode, enabling retailers to promote products directly within AI-generated responses. Additionally, users can now purchase items from merchants such as Etsy and Wayfair inside Google's Gemini chatbot. The company also introduced a "Direct Offers" feature, which will allow brands to present discounts to shoppers within the AI Mode. "We aren't just bringing ads to AI experiences in Search; we are reinventing what an ad is," said Vidhya Srinivasan, Google's vice president overseeing ads and commerce. As consumers increasingly rely on AI tools for answers and recommendations, technology companies are seeking ways to monetize these interactions beyond subscription models. Advertising and embedded commerce are expected to help offset the massive infrastructure investments fueling the AI boom, with capital spending by Google, Amazon, Meta, and Microsoft projected to reach a record $650 billion in 2026. Google's push follows similar moves by OpenAI, which has begun testing ads in ChatGPT, and by Perplexity AI, both of which are integrating shopping features into their platforms. Earlier this year, Google also introduced AI agents into its shopping ecosystem, partnering with Shopify, Target, and Walmart to standardize payments and digital identity, allowing users to check out directly within AI products. The expansion has drawn scrutiny from Washington. Senator Elizabeth Warren has raised concerns about consumer privacy and the risk of AI nudging shoppers toward higher spending. Google has stated that it prohibits merchants from listing higher prices on Google than on their own websites. The views and opinions expressed herei...

Welcome back to Canada Daily, the newsletter on business, economics and politics from Vancouver to Montreal and beyond. If this was forwarded to you, sign up here . Canada is in mourning, and in shock, after Tuesday’s mass shooting in Tumbler Ridge, a northeastern British Columbia community of 2,600 people. Nine people were killed, including the suspect, and around 25 injured in one of the deadliest such attacks in the country’s history. Students and teachers at Tumbler Ridge Secondary School “bore witness to unheard-of cruelty,” Prime Minister Mark Carney told the House of Commons. Lawmakers observed a moment of silence in honor of the victims. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police said the deceased included five students aged 12 and 13, a 39-year-old teacher, and the mother and 11-year-old stepbrother of the suspect. Two others are in critical but stable condition, according to police. The suspect, 18-year-old Jesse Van Rootselaar, appears to have died from a self-inflicted injury. The Canadian flag will be lowered to half-mast at Parliament and across federal buildings for the next week. Carney had been preparing to unveil a major defense-industrial strategy on Wednesday before leaving for a security conference in Germany, but postponed his plans following the shootings. “To the students, the teachers, the parents, and every resident of Tumbler Ridge: all of Canada stands with you. May the memories of those lost be a blessing,” Carney said. “May this community, which has shown its resilience so many times before, once again find the strength to heal.” The following was produced with the assistance of Bloomberg Automation. Top stories President Donald Trump is privately musing about exiting the North American free trade pact , people familiar with the matter said. The president has asked aides why he shouldn’t withdraw from the agreement, which he signed during his first term, though he has stopped short of flatly signaling that he will do so, the people said.

CHOLTICHA KRANJUMNONG/iStock via Getty Images Investment Thesis The iShares Core S&P MidCap ETF ( IJH ) is a good "sweet spot" ETF right now from a fundamentals perspective, and the results are starting to follow suit. In this article, I will explain how, in the last few months, IJH has leapfrogged the iShares Core S&P 500 ETF ( IVV ) in my factor-based rankings system and why I think it now offers a nice balance of quality, growth, and value. As such, I've rated IJH a "buy," with comprehensive performance and fundamentals-based comparisons with the iShares Core S&P 500 ETF ( IVV ) and the iShares Core S&P Small-Cap ETF ( IJR ) to follow below. I hope you enjoy the read. IJH Overview IJH tracks the S&P MidCap 400 Index, selecting stocks ranked #501-900 by market capitalization from the S&P 1500 Composite Index. This parent Index is managed by a committee, so it won't necessarily hold the 1500 largest U.S. stocks. There's a profitability requirement for new entrants, which sometimes prevents fast-growing companies from qualifying. However, that's not much of an issue with the mid-cap segment, and the reason is because the aggregate market cap of IJH is only a fraction of IVV's ($3.80 trillion vs. $63.02 trillion). That means less weight dispersion among its 400 constituents, so even if stocks like Roku, Inc. ( ROKU ) or Rivian Automotive, Inc. ( RIVN ) were to turn a profit and qualify, their impact on the Index would be quite small. Currently, IJH's top ten holdings account for just 7.76% of the fund. IJH itself is extremely well established, with $112 billion in net assets and a nearly 26-year track record, having launched on May 22, 2000. Its fund page lists a 0.05% expense ratio and a 0.01% 30-day median bid/ask spread, and a 1.33% 30-day SEC yield, which is slightly more than my 1.25% estimate. Either way, I don't think income is the main attraction here. Investors have long worried about S&P 500 Index valuations, and IJH offers substantial discounts across the ...
