Monty Rakusen/DigitalVision via Getty Images I wrote about Arcturus Therapeutics ( ARCT ) before . At the time, the company was mostly seen as a Covid vaccine play. Well, the company is no longer a Covid story. Yes, the company still has exposure to its Covid assets, and the Kostaive program will help finance the rest of the portfolio, but the focus is now on two main asset therapeutics options: ARCT-032 (cystic fibrosis) and ARCT-810 (OTC deficiency). We can boil down Arcturus as a “two shot biotech program” priced like a busted story, but with decent cash runway to keep swinging until 2028 . I look at the Kostaive program more as a support asset that will generate some recurring cash going forward, since the company still holds 40% of the net profits of the program. Nevertheless, we should not assume the program alone will finance the company. Arcturus is best seen as an offset to dilution with a free call option on two interesting programs. The reset If you have followed my pieces on this stock, you will know that the company has done a wonderful job so far in protecting its balance sheet while spending the necessary cash to develop its therapy pipeline. The company did so through partnerships, especially in the Covid vaccine program, by adopting a payment schedule tied to R&D milestones. This has conserved cash runway without too much dilution (mainly SBC). During the first half of 2025, the story for the company seemed solid, with the Kostaive program serving as a proof-of-concept and bringing in some cash, while retaining optionality on the rest of the pipeline. The troubles for the company emerged after reporting interim results for ARCT-032 (mRNA CF therapy), with the results casting doubts over the therapy's success. Arcturus Thesis Pillar #1: ARCT-032 (cystic fibrosis) ARCT-032 is an inhaled therapy that delivers CFTR mRNA to the lungs. The interim phase II reports that the drug was “generally safe and well-tolerated” and found mucus reduction in 4 out of ...

Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lee Zeldin talks to residents and small business owners impacted by the Palisades Fire on Feb. 4, 2026 in Pacific Palisades, California. Mario Tama | Getty Images News | Getty Images The Trump administration repealed a key defense in the U.S. fight against climate change — and it will likely have far-reaching impacts on people's finances, according to experts on the economic effects of global warming. The Environmental Protection Agency on Thursday overturned the "endangerment finding," a cornerstone of U.S. climate policy since the Obama era. The finding underpins the federal government's legal authority to regulate greenhouse gas emissions, which trap heat in the atmosphere and warm the planet . Experts have said the change is the Trump administration's most aggressive move yet to hobble U.S. climate policy. Repealing the endangerment finding leaves the U.S. with fewer ways to curb emissions and increases Americans' exposure to climate damages, Chris Field, director of the Woods Institute for the Environment at Stanford University, said in a September briefing . President Donald Trump has called climate change a " con job " and a " hoax ." But scientists almost universally agree that climate change is real and mainly caused by humans via greenhouse gas emissions.

cdesigner38/iStock via Getty Images Financial stress is accelerating beyond previous records, according to the National Foundation for Credit Counseling (or NFCC), which released its Q1 2026 Financial Stress forecast . After returning to a peak of 6.5 in Q4 2025, the NFCC forecasts stress will climb to a new historic high of 6.8 in the first quarter of 2026. The Federal Reserve’s report confirmed that total household debt has swelled to $18.8T, but the NFCC’s data suggests the situation is even more dire. According to the NFCC, an increasing number of counseled consumers are “technically insolvent”—they have income, but “no remaining disposable cash flow to fund a more affordably structured repayment plan after covering basic necessities.” “The Fed’s data tells us who missed a payment yesterday; our forecast of 6.8 tells us who is going to hit the wall tomorrow,” said Mike Croxson, CEO of the NFCC. “We are seeing a disturbing shift from discretionary debt to survival debt. When the financial buffer runs out, the climb in stress isn’t gradual. It’s vertical.” Key insights from the NFCC forecast reveal troubling patterns in household finances. The Financial Stress Forecast held at 6.6 for three consecutive quarters—a sign, the NFCC notes, that “high financial stress has become the new normal for middle-income households.” The organization also identified a “functional tightening” of credit, explaining that high interest rates and inflation “have raised the barrier to entry so high that distressed borrowers are being priced out of the lifelines they need most.” The NFCC’s report also highlights what it calls “invisible distress” that traditional credit reports miss entirely. According to the forecast, traditional credit reporting models fail to capture the full picture because consumers are “prioritizing credit card payments over other obligations to maintain liquidity, masking their true financial fragility until the moment of default.” The NFCC Financial Stress Forec...

HT Ganzo/iStock via Getty Images In the world of commodities, producers tend to do best during bull markets and suffer when the prices of the ores they extract from the Earth’s crust decline. While uranium does not actively trade on futures markets in the United States or Europe, it is becoming as critical a metal as the nonferrous metals traded on the London Metals Exchange and the precious metals traded on the CME’s COMEX and NYMEX divisions. Most metal prices have moved significantly higher over the past few years, and uranium ( UXA:COM ) is no exception. The Sprott Junior Uranium Miners ETF ( URNJ ) could have substantial upside potential, as technical and fundamental factors remain bullish in February 2026. Uranium is an Energy Commodity Uranium is primarily an energy commodity, used to power nuclear power plants. However, it is a multipurpose commodity: it is a critical ingredient in nuclear reactors that power naval propulsion and the primary material for the cores of nuclear warheads. Uranium’s extreme density, approximately 70% higher than lead’s, makes depleted uranium ideal for use in armor-piercing projectiles and protective tank plating. AI Infrastructure and Military Spending Requirements Are Bullish The quest for green energy and growing demand for AI power are driving up nuclear power demand. Moreover, the bifurcation of the world’s nuclear powers, Russia’s war against Ukraine, NATO’s military buildup, China’s plans for reunification with Taiwan, Iran’s quest for enriched uranium for nuclear weapons, and increasing U.S. military spending are a potent combination of factors that are increasing the demand for uranium production.

AMD stock tumbles 3%: analysts say market is missing this key catalyst Invezz

Hiroshi Watanabe/DigitalVision via Getty Images Market Review With 2026 underway, a few factors are readily apparent across the global fixed income markets: the slow-going bull market remains in the sweet spot; attractive yield levels should continue to accrue into solid returns over the intermediate to longer term; and the unusual geopolitical backdrop and asynchronous central bank cycles should continue to create opportunities to add value through active management. Although events like Q1's tariff unveiling and accompanying market swoon created bumps along the way, the ongoing economic expansion with moderate growth and inflation has kept yields generally high and range bound—an environment where the highest-yielding sectors continued to post the highest returns. Although excess returns from spread products were once again positive in 2025—as they have been throughout the three years of the bull market—they were more muted. Spreads are narrower, and the bulk of the capital gains potential from narrowing spreads is well behind us at this point of the cycle. Thanks to the positive yield curve and a slight drop in yields, Treasuries finally outperformed cash and joined the bull market last year. Two prevailing themes from late 2025—renewed divergence across global monetary policy rates and the repricing of term premia—will likely remain at play within developed market rate complexes with 2026 underway. So, while we expect a smaller return contribution from spread product going forward, long-term fixed income should pick up a tailwind from the yield advantage and roll down benefits provided by the newly positive yield curves. In the U.S., the Fed's 25 bp rate cut in December carried a dovish tone, leading to a bull steepening along the curve with only slight movement in the 10-year yield. The narrow move on the 10-year underscored its prevailing low-volatility, range-bound conditions throughout 2025. The low-volatility conditions in the U.S. were further amplified by...
