Earnings Call Insights: Granite Point Mortgage Trust Inc. (GPMT) Q4 2025 Management View Jack Taylor, President and CEO, stated that "2025 was a constructive year for the commercial real estate industry," highlighting increased capital availability in the market, including for certain office properties, and "improving fundamentals across many markets and most property types." He noted that 2025 included 5 loan resolutions, 7 full loan repayments, 1 REO property sale, and a reduction in cost of debt.

Quantum computers, which can process specific tasks much faster than classical computers, are still mainly used for niche research projects rather than mainstream computing applications. That's because they're much larger, pricier, and consume more power than classical computers. Yet as more companies miniaturize and improve those systems, that technology could become more widely adopted and attract a broader range of customers. One of those companies is IonQ (NYSE: IONQ) , which boasts two major strengths against its industry peers. Image source: Getty Images. Continue reading

Trump Warns Republicans Will 'Suffer The Consequences' If They Vote Against Tariffs Authored by Jack Phillips via The Epoch Times, President Donald Trump on Feb. 12 warned Republican lawmakers they will face consequences if they vote against his tariff agenda, after a handful of GOP lawmakers sided with Democrats to pass a measure this week. “Any Republican, in the House or the Senate, that votes against TARIFFS will seriously suffer the consequences come Election time, and that includes Primaries!” Trump said in a post on Truth Social. The president said that the Dow Jones Industrial Average and S&P 500 markets have reached new highs in the midst of the tariff policies that he imposed last year under an emergency 1977 provision. “The mere mention of the word has Countries agreeing to our strongest wishes. TARIFFS have given us Economic and National Security, and no Republican should be responsible for destroying this privilege,” he added. Trump wrote in a separate post on Truth Social that Canada has taken advantage of the United States on trade and border security. With the tariffs, Trump said that the United States can have an advantage over its northern neighbor. Several House Republicans on Feb. 11 voted to overturn an executive order that imposed tariffs on Canada, siding with nearly every Democratic lawmaker in the lower congressional chamber to pass the measure. The resolution, introduced by Rep. Gregory Meeks (D-N.Y.), is now being considered by the Senate. Last year, the Trump administration imposed tariffs on Canada, Mexico, and China in a bid to curb the flow of illegal drugs, including fentanyl, into the United States. The vote in the House on Feb. 11 was the first time the congressional chamber has formally offered a vote on the policy. Despite the House’s vote to pass the rebuke of the Canadian tariffs, it is unlikely to become law. It would take two-thirds majorities in both chambers to overcome an expected Trump veto, and most Republicans have been ...

Ontario’s gambling regulator moved to temporarily suspend the registration of PointsBet ’s Canada subsidiary after the online sportsbook operator allegedly failed to report suspicious wagers related to a 2024 bet-rigging scheme involving a Toronto Raptors player. The suspension will last five days, marking the first time the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario has taken such an action against an internet gambling company since the Canadian province legalized online wagers in 2022. PointsBet Canada has the right to appeal the notice. After allegations of insider betting tied to former Raptors player Jontay Porter surfaced in 2024, the AGCO asked the province’s regulated sportsbooks to report whether they had offered wagers on the player, the regulator said in a statement . Initially, PointsBet Canada said it had not offered bets on Porter, the AGCO said, but walked back those remarks in October following a US Justice Department indictment that exposed a larger insider betting scheme. PointsBet Canada did not immediately respond to requests for comment by telephone and email. In January, the AGCO fined FanDuel Canada, another sportsbook operator, for its failure to report match-fixing activity in Czech table tennis tournaments. The regulator has previously sanctioned PointsBet for violations of advertising and responsible gaming standards.

Vertigo3d/E+ via Getty Images Freshpet ( FRPT ) announced on Thursday that it is the first and only dog food brand to have its entire U.S. and Canadian portfolio earn the Clean Label Project Purity Award. The company said the distinction positions it to further differentiate its fresh, refrigerated offering against traditional dry dog food on safety and quality grounds. The clean label development is seen as underscoring Freshpet's ( FRPT ) premium positioning since every product in its North American line has met the strict thresholds for heavy metals, pesticides, and industrial contaminants, following a certification process that began in early 2025. The nonprofit’s Purity Award was noted to be reserved for the top third of products in a category, giving Freshpet ( FRPT ) third‑party validation it can use in marketing, retailer discussions, and consumer education around ingredient quality and food safety. The certification comes alongside a new Clean Label Project Dog Food Category Report, which highlights elevated levels of arsenic, lead, mercury, DEHP, and acrylamide in many popular dry dog foods compared with fresh and frozen options and with more than 3,280 human food products tested over the past decade. In testing of 79 top‑selling dog foods, traditional dry formulas averaged 13.3 times more arsenic and 20 times more lead and mercury than fresh dog food. The report is seen as supporting the narrative that fresh, gently cooked diets are structurally cleaner than extruded kibbles. Shares of Freshpet ( FRPT ) are up more than 11% on a year-to-date basis. More on Freshpet Freshpet Looks Better Now Than It Ever Has Before (Upgrade) Freshpet, Inc.

Sen. Mark Kelly, D-Ariz., at left, and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. Reuters A federal judge on Thursday temporarily enjoined Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth from officially censuring Sen. Mark Kelly over that Arizona Democrat's participation in a video reminding American military service members they have a right to refuse illegal orders. Judge Rich Leon's order in U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C. , also blocks Hegseth, for now, from reducing Kelly's U.S. Navy rank and pay, as punishment for his role in the video. Kelly retired from the Navy as a captain. The order came two days after news broke that the U.S. Attorney's Office for DC had tried, and failed, to get a federal grand jury to indict Kelly and Sen. Elissa Slotkin, D-Mich., on criminal charges related to their participation in the video released with four other members of Congress in November. Leon, in a scathing opinion explaining his order, noted that Hegseth, in seeking to punish Kelly for his public statements as a member of Congress, relied "on the well-established doctrine that military service members enjoy less vigorous First Amendment protections given the fundamental obligation for obedience and discipline in the armed forces." "Unfortunately for Secretary Hegseth, no court has ever extended those principles to retired servicemembers, much less a retired servicemember serving in Congress and exercising oversight responsibility over the military," Leon wrote. "This Court will not be the first to do so!"
