BERKELEY HEIGHTS, N.J., April 23, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Tonix Pharmaceuticals Holding Corp. (Nasdaq: TNXP) (“Tonix” or the “Company”), a fully integrated, commercial biotechnology company, today announced an oral presentation and two poster presentations on its preclinical immuno-oncology portfolio at the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) Annual Meeting 2026, held April 17-22, 2026, in San Diego, California.
“We are pleased to report encouraging preclinical data on our TFF2-albumin fusion protein (TNX-1700) and our anti-BTLA monoclonal antibody (mAb) (TNX-4700) at AACR,” said Bruce Daugherty, PhD, MBA, Executive Vice President of Research at Tonix Pharmaceuticals. “TNX-1700 and TNX-4700 are investigational immuno-oncology candidates in pre-clinical development. TNX-1700 is in development for the treatment of gastric and colorectal cancer in combination with PD-1 inhibitors. TNX-4700 is in development for the treatment of potentially several cancers since its ligand HVEM is expressed and/or upregulated in the tumor microenvironment and generally correlates with reduced overall survival.”

Aging is a major risk factor for gastric cancer, but the underlying mechanisms remain poorly defined. The stomach undergoes profound epithelial and immune remodeling during aging. TFF2 is a mucosal protective factor implicated in epithelial repair and immune regulation. However, whether TFF2 regulates age-associated inflammation and tumor progression remains unknown.
TFF2-expressing epithelial cells were reduced in the stomachs of aged mice compared to young mice, with corresponding reductions in tissue and circulating TFF2 levels. Decline of TFF2 led to elevated IL-1β and promoted gastric inflammaging. The murine version of TNX-1700 (mTNX-1700 or TFF2-MSA) treatment reversed aging-associated inflammation. The aged stomach exhibited increased susceptibility to tumor progression. Myeloid-derived stem cells (MDSCs) accumulated and overexpressed IL-1β, interacting with IL-1R1⁺ cancer associated fibroblasts (CAFs). mTNX-1700 attenuated tumor progression in the aged gastric microenvironment.
Poster Presentation #7940: “Pharmacokinetics of TNX-1700 in Non-Human Primates and Human FcRn/Serum Albumin Transgenic Mice”
Presenting author: Bruce Daugherty, PhD, MBA, Executive Vice President of Research, Tonix
TNX-1700 was evaluated in double-transgenic mice expressing human FcRn and human serum albumin (HSA) and in non-human primates. All animals survived without clinical signs or greater than 10% body-weight loss. TNX-1700 exhibited dose-independent, linear pharmacokinetics, with comparable pharmacokinetic profiles and exposure observed across species and doses. TNX-1700 substantially extends the half-life of TFF2 and achieves durable systemic exposure, supporting its potential as a therapeutic candidate for gastric cancer.
Poster Presentation #6550: In Vitro Characterization of Fully Human Antagonistic Anti-BTLA Monoclonal Antibodies
Presenting author: Bruce Daugherty, PhD, MBA, Executive Vice President of Research, Tonix
B and T Lymphocyte Attenuator (BTLA) is a promising target in immuno-oncology since its ligand HVEM (herpesvirus entry mediator) is expressed in and upregulated in the tumor microenvironment of many cancers and generally correlates with reduced overall survival. Targeting BTLA offers opportunities for cancer immunotherapy and may demonstrate additive or synergistic activity when combined with other checkpoint antagonists, potentially overcoming resistance mechanisms and improving clinical outcomes.
Tonix studied several anti-BTLA mAbs, which demonstrated potent, high-affinity binding and functional antagonism of BTLA in vitro. Antagonists with reduced FcgRI binding and no binding to FcgRIIB may improve pharmacokinetics and confer a reduced risk of FcR-dependent adverse events, such as cytokine release syndrome or other immune-mediated toxicities.
Copies of the two poster presentations are available under the Scientific Presentations tab on the Tonix website at www.tonixpharma.com.
About Trefoil Factor Family Member 2 (TFF2) Human TFF2 is a secreted protein expressed in gastrointestinal mucosa where it functions to protect and repair the mucosal lining. In gastric cancer, TFF2 is epigenetically silenced, and TFF2 is suggested to be protective against cancer development through several mechanisms, including its activity as a partial agonist of CXCR4 that modulates myeloid cell trafficking to reduce accumulation of immunosuppressive neutrophils.
About TNX-1700 TNX-1700, a fusion protein of TFF2 and albumin, is in preclinical and pre-Investigational New Drug (IND) stage of development as a treatment of gastric and colorectal cancer in combination with PD-1 blockade.1 The Company in-licensed TFF2 technology from Columbia University. TNX-1700 is an immunotherapy being developed to treat gastric and colorectal cancers in combination with PD-1 blockers. Results of preclinical testing demonstrated that a mouse version of TNX-1700 was able to evoke an increase in anti-tumor immunity in combination with anti-PD-1 in several mouse models of gastric cancer by reducing immunosuppressive neutrophils and activating anti-tumoral CD8+ T cell responses. TNX-1700 administered as both monotherapy and in combination with anti-PD-1 dramatically reduced metastasis and increased survival in these models; these findings were recently published.1 TNX-1700 addresses a central mechanism of therapeutic resistance to anti-PD-1 therapy in gastric cancer by targeting the CXCR4-driven myeloid axis to normalize cancer-induced myelopoiesis and reprogram the tumor microenvironment.
About BTLA BTLA (B and T lymphocyte attenuator) is a protein on the surface of tumor infiltrating lymphocytes. Targeting BTLA is a promising target in immuno-oncology since its ligand HVEM is expressed and/or upregulated in the tumor microenvironment of many cancers including melanoma, non-small cell lung cancer, colorectal cancer, gastric cancer, glioblastoma, and prostate cancer and generally correlates with reduced overall survival. Targeting BTLA offers opportunities for cancer immunotherapy and may demonstrate additive or synergistic effects when combined with other checkpoint antagonists, potentially overcoming resistance mechanisms and improving clinical outcomes.
About TNX-4700 Tonix is developing TNX-4700 (anti-BTLA) mAb for immuno-oncology indications. The mAb technology was licensed from Curia.

HOUSTON, April 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Direct Digital Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: DRCT) (“Direct Digital Holdings” or the “Company”), a leading advertising and marketing technology platform operating through its companies Colossus Media, LLC (“Colossus SSP”) and Orange 142, LLC (“Orange 142”), today announced a 4-to-1 reverse stock split of all classes of its common stock. The Company expects the Class A common stock to begin trading on a split-adjusted basis on The Nasdaq Stock Market as of the commencement of trading on April 27, 2026. The reverse stock split is intended to allow the Company to maintain compliance with Nasdaq’s minimum bid price requirement of $1.00 per share.
As previously announced, Direct Digital Holdings’ Board of Directors and its stockholders approved one or more reverse stock splits for up to a ratio of 250-to-1 to be effected before December 26, 2026, with the authorization to determine the number of reverse stock splits and the final ratios for each such reverse stock splits having been granted to, and determined by, the Board. The 4-to-1 reverse stock split follows the 55-to-1 reverse stock split effected on January 12, 2026.
As a result of the reverse stock split, every four shares of the Company’s common stock issued and outstanding will be automatically converted into one share of common stock, with no change in the $0.001 par value per share or authorized number of shares of common stock. The number of outstanding shares of Class A common stock, which is traded on Nasdaq, will be reduced from approximately 2.8 million to approximately 0.7 million, and the number of outstanding shares of Class B common stock, which is exchangeable and votes with the Class A common stock, will be reduced from approximately 0.17 million to approximately 0.04 million.
Mark Walker, Chief Executive Officer of Direct Digital Holdings, commented, “Our Nasdaq listing is an important asset, and this reverse split positions us to continue to meet the listing requirements of Nasdaq and maintain an efficient public float that supports institutional and long-term investor interest. We are optimistic about our future as the team focuses on leveraging our deep industry experience and AI capabilities to execute our growth strategy.”
The Company’s Class A common stock will continue to trade on Nasdaq under the symbol “DRCT.” The new CUSIP number for the Class A common stock following the reverse split is 25461T303.
No fractional shares will be issued if, as a result of the reverse stock split, a stockholder would otherwise become entitled to a fractional share because the number of shares of common stock they hold before the reverse stock split is not evenly divisible by the split ratio. Instead, each stockholder will be entitled to receive a proportional cash payment in lieu of a fractional share. The Company’s transfer agent, Equiniti Trust Company, is acting as the exchange and paying agent for the reverse stock split. The Company does not expect that stockholders holding their shares in book-entry form or through a bank, broker or other nominee need to take any action in connection with the reverse stock split. Beneficial holders are encouraged to contact their bank, broker or other nominee with any procedural questions. Additional information concerning the reverse stock split can be found in the Company’s definitive proxy statement on Schedule 14A filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 15, 2025.

Demonstration Plant Commissioning Targeted for H2 2026; Company’s Chlor-Alkali Process Uses Salt-Based Reagents with No Direct Exposure to Rising Global Sulfur and Sulfuric Acid Prices
April 23, 2026 – Vancouver, Canada – Century Lithium Corp. (TSXV:LCE) (OTCQX:CYDVF) (Frankfurt:C1Z) (“Century Lithium” or the “Company”) is pleased to provide an update on the relocation of its Lithium Extraction Facility (“Demonstration Plant”) to the Company’s site in Tonopah, Nevada, USA. Current market conditions also highlight the competitive advantage of the Company’s 100%-owned Angel Island lithium project (“Angel Island”) in Esmeralda County, Nevada and its integrated chlor-alkali process as global sulfur and sulfuric acid prices rise.
“During the last five years, Century Lithium developed an integrated process flowsheet that successfully produced battery-grade lithium carbonate from Angel Island claystone. The patent-pending process uses salt, rather than sulfur-derived reagents, which distinguishes Angel Island from spodumene and most sedimentary lithium projects globally,” said Bill Willoughby, President and CEO of Century Lithium. “Moving the Demonstration Plant to Tonopah lets us show the operating benefits of our chlor-alkali process at a moment when sulfur demand and related reagent costs are rising. Our process was designed for its compatibility with our Angel Island lithium deposit and regionally obtainable resources. As pressures on international supply chains increase, that advantage becomes increasingly meaningful for our shareholders and future customers.”
Demonstration Plant: Progress and Planned Work at Tonopah
The Demonstration Plant operated at the Company’s Amargosa Valley facility for five years, producing battery-grade lithium carbonate and validating the integrated chlor-alkali flowsheet for Angel Island. Relocation to Tonopah is proceeding as planned. Equipment relocation, construction of a new process building, and application for a Nevada Water Pollution Control Permit are all in progress, with commissioning targeted for the second half of 2026.
Upon completion, the Company plans to conduct structured metallurgical testing per the recommendations of the 2026 Feasibility Study (described below), including full test runs on claystone zones 1 and 2. Bench-scale testing reported in the Feasibility Study indicates the deeper claystone performs as well as, or better than, the bulk samples of surface material used in earlier runs. The Company also plans to evaluate improvements to leaching, direct lithium extraction (“DLE”), and lithium carbonate and hydroxide production.
The Demonstration Plant will also serve as a showcase of salt-based lithium extraction for government agencies, community stakeholders, and potential funding partners. The Company is pursuing federal critical-minerals funding opportunities, including evaluation of the potential recovery of additional critical elements from Angel Island leach solutions as identified in the Feasibility Study.
Century Lithium’s Chlor-Alkali Process: Salt as the Foundation
Angel Island is built around a patent-pending chlor-alkali process in which hydrochloric acid (“HCl”) and sodium hydroxide (“NaOH”) are generated on-site from sodium chloride (“NaCl”) and electricity. HCl leaches lithium from Angel Island claystone; NaOH provides pH control throughout leaching, filtration, and DLE. Both reagents are continuously regenerated as co-products of the electrolytic cells, closing the loop and eliminating reliance on external acid supply chains.
The process does not use sulfuric acid and produces no sulfate by-products. The primary inputs are NaCl and electricity which are stable, domestically available, and structurally uncorrelated to sulfur markets. As set out in the 2026 Feasibility Study, NaOH surplus to process requirements, which is expected to be significant, available for sale as an economic by-product.
Global Sulfur Market Conditions: Why the Process Design Matters Now
Global sulfur markets are experiencing an extraordinary dislocation with direct consequences for agriculture and basic industries including metals. China’s spot sulfur price of US$950/tonne represents a 283% increase from approximately US$248/t in January 2025.1 In the United States, Tampa contract sulfur prices have surged from US$69 per long ton at the start of 2024 to a projected US$475 to $520 per long ton under Q1 2026 contracts, an increase of approximately 600% in under two years.2 U.S. sulfuric acid prices have followed, rising from US$85 per tonne in early 2024 to US$146 per tonne by March 2026.3
2026 Feasibility Study
The 2026 Feasibility Study on Angel Island, prepared by Mineral Property Development, LLC (“MPDI”), Global Resource Engineering, Ltd. (“GRE”) and SRK Incorporated (“SRK”) in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 (NI 43-101), confirms that the chlor-alkali process’s structural insulation from these supply chain forces underpins strong project economics with an after-tax NPV of US$4.01 billion and average operating costs of US$4,389/t of lithium carbonate.
The complete NI 43-101 technical report has been filed on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca. Investors are encouraged to read the technical report in its entirety for all material assumptions and qualifying factors.

NEW YORK, April 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Travelzoo® (NASDAQ: TZOO):
Revenue of $24.3 million, up 5% year-over-year
Consolidated operating profit of $3.4 million
Non-GAAP consolidated operating profit of $3.5 million
Cash flow from operations of $3.9 million
Earnings per share (EPS) of $0.23
Travelzoo, the club for travel enthusiasts, today announced financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026. Consolidated revenue was $24.3 million, up 5% from $23.1 million year-over-year. In constant currencies, revenue was $23.6 million, up 2% year-over-year. Travelzoo’s reported revenue consists of advertising revenues and commissions, derived from and generated in connection with purchases made by Travelzoo members, and membership fees.
In Q1, we continued to invest significantly in acquiring more Club Members when we saw that we can achieve a positive return on investment (ROI). Marketing costs were expensed immediately. Membership fees revenue is recognized ratably over the subscription period of 12 months. In Q1, the number of renewals of memberships jumped to the highest ever. Because renewals of memberships have no acquisition costs, this had a positive impact on EPS. Going forward, we expect renewals of memberships to further increase because of a growing base of members. We refer to our investor presentation.
Net Income attributable to Travelzoo was $2.5 million for Q1 2026, or $0.23 per share, compared with $0.26 per share in the prior-year period.
Non-GAAP operating profit was $3.5 million. Non-GAAP operating profit excludes stock option expenses ($35,000) and severance expenses ($15,000). Please refer to “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” and the tabular reconciliation below.
“We will continue to leverage Travelzoo’s global reach, trusted brand, and strong relationships with top travel suppliers to negotiate more Club Offers for Club Members and add new benefits, such as our popular complimentary airport lounge access worldwide in case of a delayed flight,” said Holger Bartel, Travelzoo’s Global CEO. “Travelzoo members are affluent, active, and open to new experiences. We inspire travel enthusiasts to travel to places they never imagined they could. Travelzoo is the must-have membership for those who love to travel as much as we do.”
Travelzoo North America North America business segment revenue increased 4% year-over-year to $15.7 million. Operating profit for Q1 2026 was $3.2 million, or 21% of revenue, compared to operating profit of $3.6 million or 24% of revenue in the prior-year period.
Travelzoo Europe Europe business segment revenue increased 8% year-over-year to $7.3 million. Operating profit for Q1 2026 was $279,000, or 4% of revenue, compared to operating profit of $228,000, or 3% of revenue in the prior-year period.
Jack’s Flight Club Jack’s Flight Club is a membership subscription service in which Travelzoo has a 60% ownership interest. Revenue increased 2% year-over-year to $1.3 million. Jack’s Flight Club’s revenue from subscriptions is recognized ratably over the subscription period (quarterly, semi-annually, annually). Operating loss for Q1 2026 was $48,000, compared to operating profit of $12,000 in the prior-year period.
New Initiatives New Initiatives business segment revenue, which includes Licensing and Travelzoo META, was $17,000. Operating loss for Q1 2026 was $34,000.
In 2020, Travelzoo entered into royalty-bearing licensing agreements with local licensees for the exclusive use of Travelzoo’s brand, business model, and members in Australia, Japan, New Zealand, and Singapore. Under these arrangements, Travelzoo’s existing members in Australia, Japan, New Zealand, and Singapore will continue to be owned by Travelzoo as the licensor. Licensing revenue from the licensee in Australia was $10,000 for Q1 2026. Licensing revenue from the licensee in Japan was $7,000 for Q1 2026. Licensing revenue is expected to increase going forward.
Reach Travelzoo reaches 30 million travelers. This includes Jack’s Flight Club. Comparisons to prior periods are no longer meaningful due to strategic developments of the Travelzoo membership.
Income Taxes The reported income tax provision and reserves for Q1 2026 are $942,000. Travelzoo intends to utilize available net operating losses (NOLs) to largely offset its tax liability for Q1 2026.
Balance Sheet As of March 31, 2026, cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash were $11.3 million. Cash flow from operations was $3.9 million.
Deferred revenue increased because membership fees are earned over the subscription period. Membership fees revenue is recognized ratably over the subscription period.
Share Repurchase Program During Q1 2026, the Company repurchased 500,000 shares of its outstanding common stock.
Looking Ahead For Q2 2026, we expect year-over-year revenue growth to continue. We also expect revenue growth in subsequent quarters, as membership fees revenue is recognized ratably over the subscription period of 12 months, as we acquire new members, and as more Legacy Members become Club Members. Over time, we expect profitability to increase as recurring membership fees revenue will be recognized. In the short-term, fluctuations in reported net income are possible. We might see attractive opportunities to increase marketing. We expense marketing costs immediately.
In 2024, we introduced a membership fee for Travelzoo. Legacy Members, who joined prior to 2024, continue to receive certain travel offers. However, Club Offers and new benefits are only available to Club Members, who pay the membership fee. Therefore, we are seeing many Legacy Members become Club Members over time—in addition to new members who join.

Two of the offshore energy sector’s most recognized names are joining forces. Helix Energy Solutions Group (NYSE: HLX) and Hornbeck Offshore Services have announced a definitive all-stock merger agreement that will create one of the most comprehensive integrated deepwater services companies in the world — and the timing couldn’t be more calculated.
Under the terms of the deal, Hornbeck shareholders will own approximately 55% of the combined company while Helix shareholders retain roughly 45% on a fully diluted basis. The newly formed entity will operate under the Hornbeck Offshore Services name and trade on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol “HOS.” Todd Hornbeck, currently Chairman, President and CEO of Hornbeck, will lead the combined company, with William Transier serving as Chairman of a seven-member board comprised of three Helix directors and four from Hornbeck.
Why This Deal Makes Strategic Sense
This isn’t a merger of desperation — it’s a merger of expansion. Helix brings deep subsea expertise, well intervention capabilities, and a global robotics fleet with operations spanning the Gulf of America, Brazil, North Sea, West Africa and Asia Pacific. Hornbeck contributes a fleet of technologically advanced, high-specification offshore support vessels with a strong concentration in the Americas, including Brazil and Mexico, along with meaningful exposure to U.S. government and offshore wind contracts.
Together, the combined company covers the entire life cycle of deepwater field operations — from installation and production enhancement to decommissioning — across energy, defense and renewables. That kind of end-to-end service coverage significantly reduces the cyclicality risk that has historically plagued pure-play offshore services companies.
The Numbers Behind the Deal
The transaction is expected to generate $75 million or more in annual revenue and cost synergies within three years of closing. Those synergies will come from integrated service offerings, expanded customer reach and fleet optimization that reduces reliance on expensive third-party vessel charters.
The combined backlog currently stands at approximately $2 billion — split evenly between the two companies — with $1 billion tied to long-term contracts in Hornbeck’s military and specialty vessel segments. That backlog provides meaningful near-term revenue visibility as the integration unfolds.
Helix also reported Q1 2026 revenue of $287.95 million, beating analyst estimates by roughly $24 million, and reiterated full-year 2026 guidance of $1.2 billion to $1.4 billion in revenue with EBITDA projected between $230 million and $290 million. The company closed Q1 with $501 million in cash and just $10 million in funded debt — a balance sheet position that gives the combined entity significant flexibility for organic growth or further M&A post-close.
What to Watch
The merger requires Helix shareholder approval and customary regulatory sign-offs, with closing expected in the second half of 2026. Notably, Ares Management funds, representing a significant portion of Hornbeck’s ownership, have already delivered written consent approving the transaction — removing one of the more common deal-risk variables upfront.
For investors tracking the small and midcap offshore services space, this deal reshapes the competitive landscape. The combined HOS will be a scaled, diversified operator in a sector where scale increasingly determines who wins long-term contracts and who gets squeezed out.
The deepwater services consolidation wave continues — and this merger puts the new Hornbeck Offshore squarely at its center.

STAFFORD, Texas, April 23, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Greenwich LifeSciences, Inc. (Nasdaq: GLSI) (the “Company”), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on its Phase III clinical trial, FLAMINGO-01, which is evaluating Fast Track designated GLSI-100, an immunotherapy to prevent breast cancer recurrences, today announced that an abstract has been accepted for publication at the upcoming 2026 ASCO Annual Meeting along with a corresponding poster presentation.
The 2026 ASCO Annual Meeting will be held from May 28 to June 2, 2026. The full text of the abstract and poster will be available on June 1, 2026, the day of the presentation.
CEO Snehal Patel commented, ” We look forward to meeting many of our principal investigators at the conference. Our abstract will be the second abstract co-authored by the Company and the full Steering Committee of FLAMINGO-01 presenting preliminary injection site reaction immune response data from the non-HLA-A*02 open-label arm.”
In addition to ASCO, the Company plans to attend ESMO Breast, BIO partnering, and investor conferences in the coming months.

About FLAMINGO-01 Open Label Phase III Data
More than 1,300 patients have been screened with a current screen rate of approximately 800 patients per year. The 250 patient non-HLA-A*02 arm is now fully enrolled, where all patients received GLSI-100, which is 5 times more treated patients and recurrence rate data than the approximately 50 patients treated in the Phase IIb trial. The Primary Immunization Series (PIS), which includes the first 6 GLSI-100 injections over the first 6 months and is required to reach peak protection, is followed by 5 booster injections given every 6 months to prolong the immune response, thereby providing longer-term protection.
In the non-HLA-A*02 arm, a preliminary analysis of recurrence rates after the PIS is completed shows an approximately 70-80% reduction in recurrence rate.
This observation is trending similarly to the Phase IIb trial results and hazard ratio where HLA-A*02 patients were treated and where breast cancer recurrences were reduced up to 80% compared to a 20-50% reduction in recurrence rate by other approved products.
The immune response at baseline prior to any GLSI-100 treatment, the increasing immune response during the PIS, and the safety profile of non-HLA-A*02 patients is trending similarly to the HLA-A*02 arms of FLAMINGO-01 and to the Phase IIb study.
The AACR Meeting 2026 delayed-type-hypersensitivity (DTH) poster can be downloaded here.
The frequency of DTH reactions increased by approximately 4x (290%) in the total open-label non-HLA-A*02 population, increasing from 5.2% of the patients experiencing a DTH reaction at baseline, prior to any GLSI-100 administration, to 20.4% of the patients experiencing a DTH reaction in month 4 or month 6 (McNemar, p < 0.001).
As reported in Table 1 of the poster, each HLA-A type exhibited more frequent immune reactivity after treatment with GLSI-100 than at baseline with frequency increasing from 100% to 700%.
Baseline DTH reaction prior to any treatment suggests that GP2 may be a natural antigen and that GP2 specific T cells may exist in some patients prior to any treatment with GLSI-100. Baseline immune response to GP2 prior to any vaccination with GP2 was also observed in the Phase IIb trial and is being observed in the blinded randomized arms of FLAMINGO-01, where HLA-A*02 only patients are being vaccinated.
Analysis of the open label data from FLAMINGO-01 has been conducted in a manner that maintains the study blind. The open label recurrence rate, immune response, and safety data is based on the patients enrolled to date in FLAMINGO-01 and the data provided by the clinical sites so far, which is not completed or fully reviewed, and is thus preliminary. While comparing any preliminary FLAMINGO-01 data to the Phase IIb clinical trial data may be possible, these preliminary results are not a prediction of future results, and the results at the end of the study may differ.
About GLSI-100 Phase IIb Study
In the prospective, randomized, single-blinded, placebo-controlled, multi-center (16 sites led by MD Anderson Cancer Center) Phase IIb clinical trial of HLA-A*02 breast cancer patients, 46 HER2/neu 3+ over-expressor patients were treated with GLSI-100, and 50 placebo patients were treated with GM-CSF alone. After 5 years of follow-up, there was an 80% or greater reduction in cancer recurrences in the HER2/neu 3+ patients who were treated with GLSI-100, followed, and remained disease free over the first 6 months, which we believe is the time required to reach peak immunity and thus maximum efficacy and protection. The Phase IIb results can be summarized as follows:
80% or greater reduction in metastatic breast cancer recurrence rate over 5 years of follow-up with a peak immune response at 6 months and well-tolerated safety profile.
The PIS elicited a potent immune response as measured by local skin tests and immunological assays.
About FLAMINGO-01 and GLSI-100
FLAMINGO-01 (NCT05232916) is a Phase III clinical trial designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Fast Track designated GLSI-100 (GP2 + GM-CSF) in HER2 positive breast cancer patients who had residual disease or high-risk pathologic complete response at surgery and who have completed both neoadjuvant and postoperative adjuvant trastuzumab based treatment. The trial is led by Baylor College of Medicine and currently includes US and European clinical sites from university-based hospitals and academic and cooperative networks with plans to open up to 150 sites globally. In the double-blinded arms of the Phase III trial, approximately 500 HLA-A*02 patients are planned to be randomized to GLSI-100 or placebo, and up to 250 patients of other HLA types are planned to be treated with GLSI-100 in a third arm. The trial has been designed to detect a hazard ratio of 0.3 in invasive breast cancer-free survival, where 28 events will be required. An interim analysis for superiority and futility will be conducted when at least half of those events, 14, have occurred. This sample size provides 80% power if the annual rate of events in placebo-treated subjects is 2.4% or greater.

Strong operational start in 2026. Kuya Silver’s first-quarter 2026 results represented a clear inflection point in the ramp-up of its Bethania Silver Project, with record production of 3,076 tonnes and throughput of 100 tonnes per day achieved at the end of March and into early April 2026. Increased mining volumes, along with continued underground development, suggest the operation is scaling efficiently with the buildout of infrastructure needed to support future growth.
Meaningful improvement in grades and recovery rates. Higher grades and improved recovery rates supported a revenue profile heavily weighted to silver, while the planned acquisition of the Camila plant is expected to enhance processing control and efficiency. A cash position of approximately $27 million further strengthens the company’s ability to fund ongoing growth initiatives.

Greenwich LifeSciences, Inc. (GLSI/$22.91 | Price Target: $45) Robert LeBoyer [email protected] | (212) 896-4625 Preliminary FLAMINGO-01 Data Presented At AACR Rating: OUTPERFORM
Phase 3 FLAMINGO-01 Data Presented. Greenwich LifeSciences and the FLAMINGO-01 Steering Committee made two presentations at the American Association of Cancer Research (AACR) 2026 Meeting. One detailed the FLAMINGO-01 trial design while the other presented preliminary results from delayed-type hypersensitivity (DTH) response data showing a statistically significant immune response.
First Poster Presentation Included DTH Data. As discussed in our Research Note on March 18, the company announced a preliminary analysis of recurrence rates in the non-HLA-A*02 arm. Immune responses to GP2 were measured using Delayed-Type Hypersensitivity (DTH) skin tests at baseline, then after 4 or 6 months. This open-label arm of the trial has enrolled about 250 patients, with data reported for 191 patients who completed the six-monthly doses of GLSI-100 at four-month or six-month evaluation points.
Titan International (TWI/$8.02 | Price Target: $11) Joe Gomes [email protected] | 561-999-2262 Model Tweaks Ahead of 1Q26 Earnings Rating: OUTPERFORM
Model Tweaks. With 1Q26 results to be released next week, we reviewed our assumptions and resulting estimates for the quarter. Titan continues to face inflation and tariff pressure and, more recently, extra pricing pressure from OEMs facing their own end market challenges. In addition, after speaking with management, we were too low on our tax assumption. Given the above, we lowered our earnings expectations, although we are maintaining our revenue and adjusted EBITDA projections.
Details. Revenue for 1Q26 is estimated at $495 million, consistent with our prior expectation. Adjusted EBITDA is $21.5 million, also consistent with our prior projections. We did lower our gross profit assumption to 13.9% from 14.9% and increased our tax expense assumption from $2.5 million to $5 million. As a result of the changes, our projected EPS goes from $0.09/sh to a loss of $0.02 per share.

Shareholders approve CEO option grant. Travelzoo shareholders approved a 600,000-share non-qualified stock option grant to CEO Holger Bartel, formalizing a performance-based compensation structure tied directly to stock price appreciation and marking a clear inflection point in management incentives. The grant represents a significant 5.5% of the current total shares outstanding.
Structure emphasizes near-term performance and meaningful upside. The options carry a $5.05 exercise price, vest semi-annually over two years, and have a five-year term, creating a relatively short execution window in which management must deliver results to realize value.

Euroseas (ESEA)/OUTPERFORM – Updating Estimates to Reflect EM KEA Time Charter Extension Resolution Minerals Ltd (RLMLF)/OUTPERFORM – Progress on Multiple Fronts
Euroseas (ESEA/$72.18 | Price Target: $90) Mark Reichman [email protected] | (561) 999-2272 Updating Estimates to Reflect EM KEA Time Charter Extension Rating: OUTPERFORM
Time charter contract extension. Euroseas Ltd. executed a time charter contract extension for the EM Kea at a gross daily rate of $30,000 for a minimum period of 36 months to a maximum of 38 months, at the charterer’s option. The EM Kea is a 2007-built 3,100 twenty-foot equivalent unit (TEU) feeder container ship. The new charter will commence on July 14, 2026, in direct continuation of its present charter. The charter underscores the shortage of prompt tonnage, which, along with macroeconomic disruptions and uncertainty caused by the war in the Middle East, continues to sustain the firmness of the containership market.
Higher rate and improved charter coverage. The new time charter is an improvement over the previous contract rate of $19,000 per day and is expected to contribute EBITDA of $22.5 million during the minimum contracted period. The new time charter enhances charter coverage for 2025, 2026, and 2027 to approximately 91%, 76%, and 44%, respectively.
Strong Metallurgical Progress. Resolution has advanced metallurgical work at its Antimony Ridge project in Idaho, successfully producing a high-purity antimony trioxide intermediate (99.38% Sb2O3) from stibnite using conventional pyrometallurgical processing. Test work across pyrometallurgy, hydrometallurgy, and ore concentration continues to advance, with further results expected in the near term. The project is supported by high-grade antimony mineralization, consistently exceeding 30% and reaching up to 50%, underscoring its development potential as a domestic source of critical minerals.
Strategic U.S. Processing Opportunity. Resolution is also advancing a strategic plan to establish a U.S.-based antimony processing hub in Idaho, addressing the current lack of modern domestic processing capacity. By leveraging existing infrastructure at the Johnson Creek Mill site, Resolution aims to fast-track development of an integrated “mine-to-product” solution, strengthening supply chains for critical minerals essential to U.S. defense and industrial sectors.

Incremental Term Loan. CoreCivic obtained an incremental term loan in the amount of $100 million from existing lenders under its credit facility. The Company expects to use the $100 million to pay down a portion of the amounts outstanding under its revolver and for working capital and general corporate purposes. With the DHS funding issues, we suspect the federal government has been slow in payment, likely resulting in elevated A/R for CoreCivic.

Following the transaction, CoreCivic’s Amended Credit Facility is in the aggregate principal amount of $800 million, consisting of a $125 million initial term loan, the incremental term loan, and a $575 million revolving credit facility, which has a $25 million sublimit for swingline loans and a $100 million sublimit for the issuance of standby letters of credit.
Graham (GHM/$91.97) Joe Gomes [email protected] | 561-999-2262 Accounts Advised by T. Rowe Price to Invest $50 Million in Graham Rating: MARKET PERFORM
Investment. Yesterday, Graham announced the sale of $50 million of GHM common stock to certain accounts advised by T. Rowe Price Investment Management, Inc. Graham intends to use proceeds from the stock sale to further strengthen the Company’s balance sheet and financial flexibility through debt repayment and help fund future investment in organic and inorganic growth opportunities.
Details. The T. Rowe Price accounts will acquire 599,808 shares, approximately 5% of the outstanding common, of Graham common stock at $83.36 per share, based upon the 20-day average closing price of the company’s common stock on the New York Stock Exchange on April 13, 2026. The transaction is expected to close on April 16, 2026. The T. Rowe accounts will become the fourth largest shareholder following completion of the transaction. The shares will be registered for resale on a registration statement to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission within 30 days.
Power Metallic Mines Inc. (PNPNF/$0.84 | Price Target: $2.65) Mark Reichman [email protected] | (561) 999-2272 Lion Zone Momentum Builds Rating: OUTPERFORM
Continued drilling success in the Lion Zone. Recent Winter 2026 drill results further defined the high-grade Lion Zone ahead of a planned 2026 Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) for the Nisk project that will incorporate Lion Zone mineralization. Infill drilling confirmed continuity of mineralization, highlighted by notable intercepts, including 4.76 meters grading 10.43% copper equivalent (CuEq) and 4.35 meters at 5.94% CuEq, along with broad intervals including 27.1 meters at 2.17% CuEq. These results reinforce confidence in the geological model and support potential resources in the Indicated category.
Near-surface drilling reinforces development potential. Shallow drilling continues to demonstrate strong near-surface mineralization that may be suitable for open-pit extraction, enhancing the project’s development potential. Additional noteworthy results, including 3.10 meters at 5.38% CuEq, further validate the presence of consistent high-grade zones that could underpin future economic studies, including a preliminary economic assessment (PEA).
Strong Q4 caps solid year. Vince delivered Q4 revenue growth of 4.7% to $83.7 million, with DTC up over 10%, and profitability exceeding the high end of guidance despite a ~$2M Saks-related headwind. Adj. EBITDA exceeded our expectations at $4.5 million versus our $2.0 million estimate. This performance underscores the company’s ability to execute effectively even amid wholesale channel disruption and macro uncertainty.
DTC strength and pricing power drive results. Growth was fueled by robust full-price demand, improved customer experience, and successful pricing actions that offset tariff and freight pressures while maintaining unit volumes. Importantly, this signals a structurally higher-quality revenue base with less reliance on promotions.

Commercial Vehicle Group (CVGI/$4.09 | Price Target: $6) Joe Gomes [email protected] | 561-999-2262 Sale/Leaseback; Continuing Positive Class 8 Orders Rating: OUTPERFORM
Sale/Leaseback. Commercial Vehicle Group has completed a sale-leaseback transaction for its manufacturing facility in Vonore, Tennessee, which generated $16 million in proceeds. The Company used the net proceeds from the transaction to prepay a portion of its existing term loan facility, thereby reducing the Company’s leverage profile.
Leverage. At the end of 2025, CVG had net debt of $73.1 million, representing a 4.1x net leverage ratio on 2025 adjusted EBITDA. CVG’s near-term focus remains on cash generation and lowering debt levels. Following this transaction, we believe CVG is even better positioned to drive future growth.

First Phosphate Corp. (FRSPF/$0.85 | Price Target: $1.65) Mark Reichman [email protected] | (561) 999-2272 First Phosphate Achieves Another Major Milestone Rating: OUTPERFORM
Advancing financing efforts with international support. First Phosphate has secured a letter of interest (LOI) from the Export and Investment Fund of Denmark (EIFO) for up to €170 million to support equipment and service purchases for its Begin-Lamarche igneous phosphate project in Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean, Quebec. EIFO, owned and backed by the Danish government and effectively AAA-rated, would provide a guarantee to participating banks, with its involvement expected to be pro rata and pari passu alongside other senior lenders.
Global experience in export and project finance. EIFO brings extensive global experience in export and project finance, having supported numerous international transactions. The proposed guarantee remains subject to EIFO’s internal credit approvals and completion of project due diligence. The LOI is non-binding pending finalization of borrower, guarantor, and security arrangements, and will be governed by Danish law.
Snail Renegotiates ARK License. The amendment lowers fixed licensing costs from $2.0 million to $1.5 million per month, implying $1.5 million in quarterly savings. The obligation remains in place until the release of ARK 2, preserving near-term cost visibility. The move shows that the company is independently evaluating contracts on a timely basis.
DLC Payment Terms Revised to Reduce Future Cash Obligations. The amendment replaces blanket $5 million DLC payments with a more selective structure, excluding certain content such as DLCs already bundled in ARK: Survival Ascended. This change further moderates future cash outflows tied to the franchise. Improved cash flow generation provides greater flexibility to invest in upcoming titles and franchise development. It also reduces financial risk as the company transitions toward the next major ARK release.
The Oncology Institute, Inc. (TOI/$3.3 | Price Target: $8) Robert LeBoyer [email protected] | (212) 896-4625 CMS Model Shows Medicare Cost Savings, Supporting Our Investment Thesis Rating: OUTPERFORM
TOI Methodology Continues To Improve Medicare Cost Savings. TOI announced new data from the Enhancing Oncology Model (EOM) developed by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). Data from CMS shows that during Performance Period 3, the six-month period beginning July 2024, TOI achieved cost savings of $1.8 million, equating to $6,400 per patient-episode. This compares with the Performance Period 2, from January 2024 to June 2024, in which savings were $1.1 million or $3,500 per episode.
TOI Methodology Fits Well With The EOM. The CMS Innovation Center developed the EOM as a total-cost-of-care model to improve cancer care for Medicare Fee-for-Service beneficiaries. It incentivizes oncology practices to deliver coordinated care for patients receiving chemotherapy. The EOM model has identified pharmacy, avoidable acute care, and supportive care as the three main areas for cost reduction and quality-of-care improvements.

Resolution Minerals Ltd (RLMLF/$0.04 | Price Target: $0.15) Mark Reichman [email protected] | (561) 999-2272 Antimony Ridge Takes a Big Step Forward Rating: OUTPERFORM
Fast-41 Designation. Resolution Minerals Ltd (OTCQB: RLMLF, ASX: RML) is advancing its Antimony Ridge Project in Idaho as a strategically significant source of antimony within the United States, reinforced by its recent inclusion in the Federal FAST 41 Permitting Transparency Program. This designation underscores the project’s importance to national security and critical mineral supply chains while supporting accelerated permitting, enhanced regulatory coordination, and increased visibility with investors and strategic partners.
Large-Scale Potential. The project demonstrates strong large-scale potential, with recent modeling defining an extensive and expanding mineralized system hosting high grade antimony and silver across a substantial footprint. Historical production and recent sampling confirm exceptionally high grades, while mineralization remains open in multiple directions, indicating considerable upside and resource growth potential.
Resources Connection (RGP/$3.46 | Price Target: $6) Joe Gomes [email protected] | 561-999-2262 3Q26 Results In-Line, But End Markets Remain Challenging Rating: OUTPERFORM
Overview. For the third quarter of fiscal 2026, Resources Connection produced results that were aligned with management’s previous guidance for revenue and gross margin, while run-rate SG&A expenses were better than the outlook. During the quarter, management continued to strengthen leadership, meaningfully reduced the cost structure, took steps to simplify the business portfolio, and began reinvesting selectively to support future growth.
3Q26 Results. Revenue in 3Q26 was $107.9 million compared to $129.4 million in 3Q25. We were at $108 million. On a same-day constant currency basis, revenue decreased by $25.4 million, or 19.6%. Billable hours decreased 16.3% year-over-year, and the Company average bill rate for 3Q26 decreased 1.0% year-over-year, or 2.1% on a constant currency basis. RGP reported a GAAP net loss of $9.5 million, or a loss of $0.28/sh. Adjusted net loss was $0.09/sh. We were at a loss of $0.31/sh and $0.08/sh, respectively.

Solid holiday performance. For the nine-week period ended January 3, 2026, total company net sales increased 5.3% year over year, supported primarily by steady demand and continued strength in the Direct-to-Consumer segment. Furthermore, management attributed the improvement to ongoing investments in customer experience, digital capabilities, and omnichannel engagement.
DTC leads the way. Notably, Direct-to-Consumer revenue increased 9.7% versus the prior-year holiday period, underscoring strong traffic conversion across e-commerce and retail locations. In contrast, the Wholesale segment declined 2.7% year over year, reflecting disruption in receipt flow related to its partner Saks Global. Despite this pressure, management indicated that strong point-of-sale performance with key partners partially offset the disruption.

FY 2026 financial results. AZZ will release fourth quarter and FY 2026 financial results after the market close on Wednesday, April 22. Management will host an investor conference call and webcast on Thursday, April 23, at 11:00 am ET. We anticipate the company will elaborate on its FY 2027 corporate guidance and capital allocation priorities, along with discussing the market outlook and strategic drivers for each of its business segments.
Corporate guidance. FY 2026 sales, EBITDA, and EPS are expected to be in the range of $1.625 to $1.725 billion, $360 to $380 million, and $5.90 to $6.20, respectively. FY 2027 sales are expected to be in the range of $1.725 to $1.775 billion, adjusted EBITDA is expected to be in the range of $360.0 to $400.0 million, and adjusted diluted EPS is expected to be in the range of $6.50 to $7.00.
QuoteMedia Inc. (QMCI/$0.15 | Price Target: $0.23) Michael Kupinski [email protected] | (561) 994-5734 Entering a Multi-Year Growth Phase Rating: OUTPERFORM
Q4 exceeds revenue expectations. QuoteMedia reported Q4 revenue of $5.35M (+14% y/y) and FY2025 revenue of $20.3M (+8% y/y), reflecting solid top-line momentum, while profitability declined with Adjusted EBITDA of $1.0M (vs. $1.8M prior year) and a net loss of $2.3M, driven by investment and accounting treatment of development costs.
Revenue Drivers & Earnings Dynamics. Growth was led by Corporate Quotestream (enterprise), benefiting from larger contracts, higher ARPC, and cross-selling of data and SaaS solutions, while earnings were pressured by higher expensing of development costs (vs. capitalization), which impacted reported profitability but not cash flow.
Xcel Brands (XELB/$1.53 | Price Target: $5) Michael Kupinski [email protected] | (561) 994-5734 Jacob Mutchler [email protected] | A Solid Foundation For Growth Rating: OUTPERFORM
Q4 Results. The company reported Q4 revenue of $1.2 million and an adj. EBITDA loss of $0.6 million, both of which were modestly lower than our estimates of $1.7 million and a loss of $0.5 million, respectively, as illustrated in Figure #1 Q4 Results. Notably, we view 2025 as a transformational year for the company, given several key partnerships and a more efficient operating structure that positions the company for growth.
Favorable Release Pipeline. In 2026, the company is expected to enter a more significant phase of its growth strategy, centered on brand launches and portfolio expansion. Cesar Millan, Gemma Stafford, and Jenny Martinez are expected to debut on QVC and HSN in Q2, with distribution expanding to brick-and-mortar retail and Amazon in the back half of the year. Additionally, Coco Rocha is expected to launch later in 2026.

Preclinical Study Compared Single-Dose MVA With Two-Dose Standard Vaccine. GeoVax presented preclinical data at the World Vaccine Congress Washington 2026 comparing its current pre-Phase-3 GEO-MVA vaccine for Mpox with its new MVA-X version. The new MVA-X includes a peptide sequence that elicits a strong T-cell response that requires only one dose to achieve protection instead of two.
Immune Checkpoint Modulation Improves The Response. The new MVA-X includes an immunomodulatory peptide designed to improve T-cell responses. The peptide modulates the PD-1 immune checkpoint pathway to block inhibitory signaling to magnify T-cell activation, improve the durability of the T-cell response, and enhance immune memory.

New Data Added To Expand Patent Claims. Greenwich LifeSciences announced that it has filed new patent claims to expand the patent estate covering GP2, the proprietary compound in GLSI-100. The new claims add recently announced data from the Phase 3 FLAMINGO-01 trial that show the immune response and recurrence rate for non-HLA*02 patients. These claims could expand both the scope and the term of the patent estate beyond previous claims from HLA*02 patients.
Broadening Patent Protection Protects Against Competitors. Patent claims covering the immune response that results from GLSI-100 treatment could help lock out competitors trying to develop similar compounds. If a new compound were able to avoid patents covering GP2, it would be blocked by the new claims covering the immune response that follows.

Strategic partnerships. The company’s influencer brands, with Jenny Martinez, Gemma Stafford, Cesar Millan, and Coco Rocha, are expected to launch throughout 2026. Notably, these partnerships have driven the company’s social media following from 5 million at the start of 2025 to approximately 46 million today. In our view, the company is well-positioned to reach its goal of 100 million social media followers in 2026.

Strong Q4 execution with continued top-line momentum.

The company continues to scale across cable, streaming (FAST), subscription, and digital platforms, expanding distribution to 100+ countries and reinforcing its position as the #4 cable news network.
Affiliate fee upside remains key long-term catalyst. Ongoing contract renewals and repricing opportunities provide meaningful upside potential, with current rates still significantly below industry peers. Based on recent contracts and a favorable 2026 outlook, we have revised our 2026 affiliate fee revenue estimate upward from $43.4 million to $49.8 million.

Cocrystal Receives Fast Track Designation. CDI-988 has been awarded Fast Track Designation by the FDA, a designation given to drugs that treat serious conditions with no effective treatments. It is intended to streamline the clinical development and shorten regulatory review for products treating unmet medical needs. The designation should save Cocrystal time and clinical expenses, as well as give recognition to CDI-988 as a meaningful new vaccine for the prevention and treatment of norovirus.
Fast Track Designation Is Intended To Help Drug Development. The FDA’s Fast Track designation has several benefits to help companies develop drugs for unmet medical needs. During the development process, Cocrystal can have more frequent communications with the FDA to obtain its guidance throughout the process.
Nutriband (NTRB/$3.63 | Price Target: $15) Robert LeBoyer [email protected] | (212) 896-4625 First Marketing Partnership Expands Territory and Brings A Product Approval Rating: OUTPERFORM
Marketing Partnership Covering Costa Rica Brings First Success. In February, Nutriband signed an agreement with Costa Rica’s Innomedica CCB, making it the territory’s exclusive distributor of Nutriband products and AVERSA Fentanyl upon approval. Shortly afterward, the Costa Rican Ministry of Health approved the Nutriband kinesiology tapes for import and sale, making them the first Nutriband products that Innomedica has guided through local regulatory approvals. It plans to begin marketing efforts for the kinesiology tapes, the mosquito repellent patch, and begin AVERSA Fentanyl patch marketing in anticipation of approval.
Moving Forward With AVERSA Fentanyl. Nutriband is preparing to start its clinical trial testing to test the abuse deterrence of its proprietary AVERSA Fentanyl patch. This trial will test a generic fentanyl patch against the AVERSA Fentanyl patch to determine if substance abusers can obtain the drug without activating the with aversive chemicals. We expect the trial to begin around mid-FY2026.
Ocugen (OCGN/$1.79 | Price Target: $12) Robert LeBoyer [email protected] | (212) 896-4625 Dosing Completed Early In The OCU410ST Phase 2/3 GARDian Trial Rating: OUTPERFORM
OCU410ST Treatment Has Been Completed Ahead Of Schedule. The Stargardt disease Phase 2/3 Trial testing OCU410ST has completed patient enrollment and treatment in 9 months, beating our estimated time of 12 months. The trial enrolled 63 patients, with an interim analysis planned when 24 patients have completed the follow-up evaluation at month 8 after treatment. This is expected to be announced in 3Q26. The primary endpoint for the BLA is based on the 1-year evaluation, which should occur around 1Q27.
OCU410ST Restores Pathways To Prevent Blindness. OCU410ST (AAV5-hRORA) uses Ocugen’s proprietary modifier gene technology to deliver hRORA, a gene that controls pathways that can lead to macular degeneration in Stargardt disease. OCU410ST is a single subretinal injection that leads to durable gene expression, restoring homeostasis in those pathways, preventing death of cells in the retina, and preserving visual function.
Updating 1Q 2026 estimates. We have lowered our 1Q and FY 2026 EPU estimates to $(0.02) and $2.20, respectively, from $0.61 and $2.60. We have marked-to-market ARLP’s holding of bitcoins, which amounted to 592 bitcoins as of year-end 2025. The price of bitcoin closed at $87,508.83 on December 31, 2025, compared to $68,233.31 on March 31. We anticipate that the value of digital assets in Q1 2026 could decrease by approximately $11.4 million if all bitcoins were held through the end of the first quarter. Because it would represent a non-cash unrealized loss, it has no impact on our adjusted EBITDA estimate. Moreover, our EPU estimate reflects a non-cash impairment charge of $43 million related to a decision to cease longwall production at the Mettiki Mining complex, although it has no impact on our adjusted EBITDA estimate.
FY 2026 estimates. We have also adjusted the cadence of coal sales throughout the year, with lower volumes in the first quarter, along with higher segment adjusted EBITDA expense per ton. While we have lowered our FY 2026 EPU estimates, our adjusted EBITDA estimate declined only modestly to $708.3 million from $708.4 million due, in part, because our estimates reflect greater tonnage in the second half of the year when adjusted EBITDA expense per ton is lower, and margins are stronger. Quarterly coal sales volume is expected to be lowest in the first quarter, increase modestly in the second, and peak in the back half as longwall move disruptions abate.

Total company revenues of $8.4 million were better than our $7.7 million estimate. Q4 adj. EBITDA loss was in line with expectations, at $3.6 million versus $3.4 million.
Buy-side momentum offsetting structural sell-side decline. The primary driver of the quarter was strength in the buy-side segment, supported by improved customer acquisition, higher conversion rates, and increased contribution from returning customers, while the sell-side business experienced significant contraction due to reduced inventory and strategic deprioritization.
Results weaker than expected. Full year 2025 revenue of $361.9 million was well below our $434.2 million estimate. Management emphasized that the Medicare Advantage market remains in a structural reset heading into 2026, with carriers prioritizing retention, member quality, margin integrity, and disciplined unit economics over enrollment growth. Full year 2025 adj. EBITDA loss estimate of $35.1 million was more than our loss estimate of $29.6 million.
Strategic reset. The company has deliberately reduced Medicare Advantage enrollments where first-renewal economics were unattractive, prioritizing long-term profitability and appropriate consumer plan fit. Importantly, the company managed cash flow despite the significant revenue drop, a testament to its structural cost restructuring.
Great Lakes Dredge & Dock (GLDD/$17) Joe Gomes [email protected] | 561-999-2262 Acquisition by Saltchuk Completed Rating: NOT RATED
Acquisition Completed. The acquisition of Great Lakes Dredge & Dock by Saltchuk Resources was completed on April 1st. Announced on February 11th, Saltchuk paid $17/sh for the outstanding GLDD stock, an enterprise value of approximately $1.5 billion.
Tender Offer. As of the expiration of the tender offer, approximately 53,738,558 shares of Great Lakes common stock were validly tendered and not validly withdrawn pursuant to the tender offer, representing approximately 79.88% of the issued and outstanding shares of Great Lakes common stock. As a result of the completion of the transaction, prior to the opening of trading on the NASDAQ on April 1, 2026, all shares of Great Lakes common stock ceased trading, and all shares of Great Lakes common stock will subsequently be delisted from NASDAQ and deregistered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
Private placement financing. Summit Midstream announced a private placement of 1,351,351 shares of its common stock with an affiliate of Tailwater Capital LLC at a price of $31.08 per share to raise $42.0 million. Summit intends to use the net proceeds to reduce borrowings under the company’s asset-based lending credit facility and to fund organic growth capital projects. Following the transaction, Tailwater and its affiliated entities are expected to own ~39% of Summit’s outstanding equity.
Updating estimates and valuation. Following the financing, Summit will have 13.8 million common shares, along with 6.5 million Class B shares outstanding for a total of 20.3 million shares. We have made no changes to our revenue or EBITDA estimates, although the higher share count has a minor impact on per share estimates and lowers our valuation per share to $46.00 from $48.50.

Progress On CAD-1005 Reported With FY2025 Results. Cadrenal reported a loss for 4Q25 of $3.0 million or $(1.42) per share and a FY2025 loss of $13.2 million or $(6.64) per share. Importantly, it recently held its End-Of-Phase 2 meeting with the FDA to receive guidance for the planned Phase 3 trial for CAD-1005 in HIT (heparin-induced thrombocytopenia). The company had cash and equivalents of $4.0 million on December 31, 2025.
Lead Indication Reported Phase 2 Data. As discussed in our Research Note on February 25, Cadrenal reported results from its Phase 2 study of CAD-1005 in HIT. The trial was designed to show CAD-1005 improved platelet recovery and tested platelet count recovery as a biomarker for thrombosis and outcome. The data did not show a correlation between platelet count normalization and thrombotic events, but did show an important reduction in thrombotic events exceeding 25% in the CAD-1005 treatment arm compared with placebo.
First Phosphate Corp. (FRSPF/$0.7 | Price Target: $1.65) Mark Reichman [email protected] | (561) 999-2272 Firing on All Cylinders Rating: OUTPERFORM
Expanded infill drill program. First Phosphate completed an expanded infill drill program, totaling approximately 40,000 meters, that was launched in October at its Begin-Lamarche property in Saguenay-Lac-St. Jean, Quebec. The drilling program, which was expanded from 30,000 meters of drilling, confirmed continuity of phosphate mineralization across the existing resource horizon and discovered two new mineralized intersects in the Northern and Southern zones.
Updated geological model. The incremental 10,000 meters of drilling was designed to better understand the new intersects and test mineralization at depth in areas across the Northern and Southern zones. The company is processing the full set of drill results from its original and expanded drill program with the goal of updating the geological model in the coming weeks.

MAIA Biotechnology (MAIA/$1.4 | Price Target: $14) Robert LeBoyer [email protected] | (212) 896-4625 MAIA Reports Two-Year Survival Data At Medical Conference Rating: OUTPERFORM
New Data Presented Shows Long-Term Survival. MAIA presented data from its Phase 2 THIO-101 trial at the European Lung Cancer Congress 2026 (ELCC) held recently in Copenhagen, Denmark. The presentation included data from patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who had relapsed after treatment with standard chemotherapy. Data from 8 patients showed survival exceeding 2 years and greatly exceeded the expected survival for patients at their stage of disease.
Phase 2 Trial Design. THIO-101 was designed in three stages. Part A was basic safety, and Part B was a dose-finding stage. These two stages treated a total of 79 patients. The ongoing Part C is an expansion stage enrolling up to 48 participants in Asia and Europe. The patients are treated with ateganosine (aka THIO) followed by cemiplimab (Libtayo, from Regeneron).

NDA Sumisssion Was Accepted In January. Unicycive reported loss for FYQ25 of $26.6 million or $(1.67) per share. Importantly, the resubmission of the NDA for oxylanthanum calcium (OLC), its phosphate binder for controlling high phosphate levels in renal dialysis patients, was accepted for filing by the FDA. The PDUFA data is June 19, 2026. Cash on December 31, 2026 was $54.9 million, which we estimate is sufficient to last through product launch and the first quarter of OLC sales.
We Believe Previous Issues Have Been Settled. The NDA was submitted in December 2025 and accepted for filing in January. FDA acceptance and notification of the PDUFA date signifies that the application is complete for review. There were no questions about the third-party manufacturing issue that stopped the review process in June 2025. We believe the corrective actions have addressed the problem, allowing for marketing approval by June 2026.

FreightCar America (RAIL/$8.04 | Price Target: $16.5) Mark Reichman [email protected] | (561) 999-2272 Hans Baldau [email protected] | Updating Estimates; Rating Remains an Outperform Rating: OUTPERFORM
Updating estimates. We revised our FY 2026 estimates to reflect lower margins in the first and second quarters. While our full year revenue, EBITDA, and EPS estimates are unchanged, the quarterly allocations have shifted. We forecast first quarter revenue, EBITDA, and EPS of $86.0 million, $7.0 million, and $0.04, respectively, compared to our prior estimates of $89.0 million, $8.8 million, and $0.08. We have assumed growing Aftermarket segment revenue throughout the year. Our FY 2026 revenue, EBITDA, and EPS estimates remain $525.0 million, $44.5 million, and $0.54, respectively.
Lowering 1H’ 2026 expectations. We think the first quarter of 2026 will reflect the fewest deliveries during the year, along with a less favorable product mix. Accordingly, we expect 2026 deliveries, revenue, and earnings to be weighted toward the second half of the year, supported by higher volumes, an improved product mix, and increased contributions from new builds and retrofit programs.

Newsmax (NMAX/$5.98 | Price Target: $21) Michael Kupinski [email protected] | (561) 994-5734 Jacob Mutchler [email protected] | Among The Few Media Growth Companies Rating: OUTPERFORM
Exceeds Q4 results. Newsmax delivered solid fourth quarter results with total revenue of $52.2 million, representing a 9.6% year-over-year increase, driven primarily by growth in broadcasting revenue, particularly affiliate fees and linear advertising demand. Importantly, profitability trends improved meaningfully, with adjusted EBITDA outperforming expectations, reflecting early signs of operating leverage despite continued investment in content and infrastructure.
Quarter Highlights: The quarter was characterized by strong execution across key operating metrics, including robust affiliate fee growth (+17.9%), continued resilience in advertising revenue, and significant audience expansion across both linear and streaming platforms.
Q4 results. SKYX reported revenue of $24.9M versus our $26.5M estimate, reflecting a modest miss tied to the delayed rollout of the SKYFAN & Turbo Heater and disruption from its new AI-driven e-commerce platform. Adj. EBITDA loss of $2.7M was worse than our expectation of a loss of $0.4M.
Near-term catalysts. The SKYFAN & Turbo Heater has launched across major retailers, and we expect broader distribution and SKU expansion to support growth through 2026. The new AI-driven platform should improve conversion across the company’s owned websites following near-term disruption.

Cardiff Oncology (CRDF/$1.73 | Price Target: $12) Robert LeBoyer [email protected] | (212) 896-4625 KOL Discussion Of Onvansertib Supports Our Outperform Rating Rating: OUTPERFORM
Cardiff Oncology Held A KOL Discussion. On March 25, Cardiff Oncology held a webcast with two world-renown oncologists with experience in drug development and patient treatment. The discussion began with a review of the Phase 2 data by Dr. Mani Mohindru, the Interim CEO. The discussion centered on aspects of the trial, including the outcome data, practical use, and competitive therapies.
The Discussion Included Significance Of Phase 2 Outcomes. The presentation began with a review of Phase 2 data announced in January 2026, with comments by the KOLs. They pointed to the response rate (RR) of 72.2% and the median progression-free survival (PFS) that has not yet been reached. Importantly, onvansertib did not cause additional toxicities to the combination chemotherapy regimen.

Mpox Vaccine Clinical Supplies Expected To Be Ready Soon. GeoVax announced the completion of clinical supply testing of GEO-MVA, its modified vaccinia ankara (MVA) vaccine for Mpox/smallpox. The release of vaccine that can be used in clinical trials is expected in early April. This is an important milestone in preparation for the Phase 3 trial planned for late FY2026.
Preparation for Phase 3 Bridging Study and Commercialization. GeoVax is preparing for an immune bridging study to show GEO-MVA stimulates an immune response that is non-inferior to a commercial Mpox vaccine. The study was designed to meet requirements for the European Medicines Agency’s expedited development pathway for Marketing Authorization.
Resolution Minerals Ltd (RLMLF/$0.04 | Price Target: $0.15) Mark Reichman [email protected] | (561) 999-2272 Hans Baldau [email protected] | Idaho’s Next Gold and Critical Minerals District Rating: OUTPERFORM
Initiating coverage with an Outperform. Resolution Minerals Ltd (ASX: RML, OTCQB: RLMLF) is advancing the Horse Heaven Gold–Antimony–Tungsten–Silver Project in Idaho, now covering 14,580 hectares. Following China’s December 2024 ban on antimony exports to the U.S., the country faces a structural supply deficit with no meaningful domestic mining or processing capacity. Resolution is positioned to address this gap through both resource development and intention to build a commercial-scale hydrometallurgical processing facility, aligning the project with U.S. policy priorities around domestic critical mineral supply chains.
Golden Gate. Phase 1 drilling at the Golden Gate Prospect confirmed a fault-controlled Intrusion Related Gold System with indications of meaningful scale. All 14 holes intersected mineralization from surface, including intercepts of 253m at 1.50 g/t Au, 265m at 0.60 g/t Au, and 189m at 1.30 g/t Au, all open at depth, while a second discovery at Golden Gate South expanded the mineralized footprint to more than 1.5km of strike. Importantly, the historical Golden Gate Tungsten Mine, last in production in 1980, is located within Resolution’s property boundary, with management evaluating a restart. A Phase 2 program of up to 45 diamond holes across 13,700 meters commences in early May 2026.
Leadership transition introduces seasoned external operator. The company announced that CEO Scott Buchanan has stepped down effective March 23, 2026, with founder Brandon Mintz stepping down as Executive Chairman and remaining on the Board in an advisory capacity. The Board appointed Alex Holmes as CEO and Chairman. Mr. Holmes brings relevant experience from his tenure as CEO of MoneyGram, particularly in payments infrastructure and regulatory compliance.
Transition comes at a pivotal time for the business. The leadership changes follow a quarter impacted by regulatory headwinds and ahead of a guided 30% to 40% decline in core BTM revenue in 2026. At the same time, the company is beginning to pursue new business initiatives, including its expansion into peer-to-peer betting and merchant cash advances. While the company noted the departures were not due to disagreements, in our view, the timing suggests the Board may be positioning the company for its next phase of execution as it navigates both regulatory pressure and early-stage diversification efforts.
Comstock (LODE/$2.78) Mark Reichman [email protected] | (561) 999-2272 Hans Baldau [email protected] | Review of 2025 and Outlook for 2026 Rating: MARKET PERFORM
A year of repositioning. During 2025, Comstock Inc. repositioned itself around two scalable growth businesses: Comstock Metals, which targets solar panel recycling and critical mineral recovery, and its investment in Bioleum Corporation, which is advancing biomass-based renewable fuels.
Near-term revenue visibility. Comstock Metals represents the most immediate catalyst for value creation. Comstock has validated a zero-landfill solar panel recycling process and completed permitting for its first industry-scale facility in Nevada, with operations expected to commence in the second quarter of 2026. The company has also secured logistics infrastructure and customer agreements across key U.S. regions, reflecting growing demand for end-of-life solar panel processing. Over time, the strategy could include multiple facilities and integrated refining capabilities that target recovery of higher-value metals such as silver.

Investor webinar. CEO John Passalacqua recently presented to investors via Simone Capital. During the call, Mr. Passalacqua commented on the signed contribution agreement with Natural Resources Canada, the ongoing drill program and future feasibility study, the ADR launch, and the strength of the stock in recent weeks relative to a difficult broader market. Management attributed the stock’s resilience to the quality of the shareholder base, consistent milestone execution, and the visible de-risking effect of government backing.
NRCan contribution agreement signed. First Phosphate has executed a formal agreement with Natural Resources Canada providing up to C$16.7 million in non-repayable government funding under the Global Partnerships Initiative. The structure is a reimbursement model, whereby the company incurs eligible expenditures and receives reimbursement of up to 75% within approximately three months, supporting technical and engineering validation work through 2028. Combined with approximately C$20-C$22 million in cash on hand, we estimate total accessible financial resources of approximately C$36-C$38 million, sufficient to fund the company through drill completion, feasibility study, and final investment decision.
Ocugen (OCGN/$1.92 | Price Target: $12) Robert LeBoyer [email protected] | (212) 896-4625 Raising Price Target After Positive OCU410 Data Reported Rating: OUTPERFORM
Top-Line Phase 2 ArMaDa Trial Data Reported. Ocugen reported Phase 2 data for OCU410, its gene therapy for geographic atrophy in dry age-related macular degeneration (GA-dAMD). The data shows clinically meaningful and statistically significant benefit of 31% for treated patients compared with placebo. Based on the trial results, we are including OCU410 revenues in our FY2029 earnings model and raising our price target to $12 per share.
Results Show Preservation of Function and Cell Structure. The primary endpoint showed 31% reduction in lesion growth at the optimal dose (medium) group compared to controls (p< 0.05). A secondary endpoint of photoreceptor cell loss, correlating with visual function, showed a 27% slower rate compared to controls. In addition, 55% of treated patients demonstrated a lesion size reduction of greater than 30% compared with controls.
Solid Q4 results. The company reported Q4 revenue of $90.0 million and adj. EBITDA of $15.0 million. While revenue was modestly below our estimate of $99.0 million, adj. EBITDA was in line with our estimate of $15.1 million. Notably, the strong adj. EBITDA figure was largely driven by more efficient use of marketing spend, which decreased approximately 25% compared to the prior year period.
Key operating metrics. Bookings and monthly paying users (MPU) decreased by 7% and 10%, respectively, compared with the prior year period, but the decrease was expected as the company is focused on the quality of gameplay and retaining high-quality users. Furthermore, the company’s strategy appears to be paying off, as average bookings per paying user (ABPPU) increased from $102 in Q4’24 to $106 in Q4’25.

Eledon Pharmaceuticals (ELDN/$2.88 | Price Target: $10) Robert LeBoyer [email protected] | (212) 896-4625 FY2025 Reported With Tegoprubart Updates and Phase 3 Expectations Rating: OUTPERFORM
Tegoprubart Trials To Advance In FY2026. Eledon reported a 4Q loss of $10.4 million or $(0.11) per share and a FY2025 loss of $45.6 million or $(0.52) per share. The FY Total Operating Expenses were $83.3 million, with non-cash items (including changes in the fair value of warrant liabilities) of $33.4 million. Net Loss excluding these items would have been $79.1 million for full year. Updates for tegoprubart clinical development were also confirmed with the announcement. Cash on December 31, 2025 was $45.6 million.
Clinical Trials In Transplantation Have Several Milestones Ahead. Eledon expects to meet with the FDA to discuss plans for a Phase 3 tegoprubart trial for prevention of kidney transplant rejection. We expect the guidance to clarify required endpoints and could lead to the start of Phase 3 by year-end. Guidance is also expected for Islet cell transplantation in diabetes and xenotransplantation.
Titan International (TWI/$6.81 | Price Target: $11) Joe Gomes [email protected] | 561-999-2262 Production Consolidation Rating: OUTPERFORM
Consolidation. Last week, Titan announced a decision to consolidate production within its North American manufacturing footprint, which will result in the closure of its manufacturing facility in Jackson, Tennessee, by the end of October 2026. The Company expects production currently performed in Jackson to be transitioned to other existing Titan facilities over the coming months. We view this action as part of the Company’s ongoing efforts to optimize its manufacturing footprint and improve capacity utilization, given the uncertain operating environment.
Details. The Jackson closure is part of the ongoing synergies the Company expected to deliver from the Carlstar acquisition. The one-time costs for the plant closure and manufacturing relocation are estimated to be in the $7 million range, likely to hit in relatively equal amounts over the next three quarters. Estimated annual savings are in the $5 million range, with the full amount likely to begin in 2027.

Two newbuilds. Euroseas announced contracts for the construction of two 2,800 TEU high-reefer containership newbuilds, with deliveries expected sequentially in the second and third quarters of 2028. The total acquisition price for each of the two newbuild vessels is $46.35 million, with financing expected to include a combination of debt and equity.
Strategic expansion. The vessels will be built to EEDI Phase 3 and IMO NOx Tier III standards and will be equipped with more than 1,000 reefer plugs, optimizing them for high-reefer-density trades. This enhances Euroseas’ exposure to growing refrigerated cargo demand. Importantly, the agreement includes options for up to four additional vessels of similar design, with either reefer or conventional configurations. In our view, this aligns with the company’s strategy of modernizing and diversifying its fleet, lowering the average age, and improving environmental efficiency.
Space Force. The Space Force’s Space Systems Command awarded Kratos a $447 million follow-on contract for Ground Management and Integration for the first two sets of Medium-Earth Orbit Missile Warning and Tracking satellites, according to a press release from the Agency. This follow-on award continues the positive award environment for Kratos, in our view.
Focus. SSC’s Resilient MWT MEO program under SYD 84 is focused on the rapid acquisition of robust infrared sensing technology and integrating it into an entirely new satellite constellation in MEO.

ARK franchise momentum remains strong, with ASA surpassing 4M units sold and continued engagement across ASA, ASE, and ARK Mobile, reinforcing long-term durability. There appears to be a robust multi-year content pipeline which provides visibility, though updated timing shifts a portion of expected revenue and adj. EBITDA from 2026 into 2027.

Kuya Silver (KUYAF/$0.52 | Price Target: $3.5) Mark Reichman [email protected] | (561) 999-2272 Hans Baldau [email protected] | Driving Mineral Resource Growth Rating: OUTPERFORM
Kuya Silver is significantly scaling its exploration efforts at Bethania. The company has expanded its fully funded 2026 drill program to approximately 20,000 meters, making it the largest drilling campaign in the project’s history. By combining 10,000 meters of surface and 10,000 meters of underground drilling, Kuya seeks to extend known mineralization near existing operations and test new district scale targets, positioning the project for meaningful resource growth.
High-grade regional targets highlight strong expansion potential. Exploration has identified multiple vein systems beyond the current mine area, with high priority prospects such as Millococha, Tito PH, and Carmelitas demonstrating encouraging grades and geological continuity. These areas, supported by historic artisanal mining and recent sampling, suggest the presence of a broader mineralized system that could materially increase the overall resource base
Take Private Proposal. Perfect Corp. received a preliminary, non-binding proposal from a consortium led by CEO Alice H. Chang and CyberLink to take the company private at $1.95 per share. The transaction would be funded through rollover equity, company cash, and potential debt. The board intends to form a special committee to evaluate the proposal, and there is no assurance that a transaction will be completed.
Ownership structure supports a high likelihood of completion. The consortium controls approximately 53.4% of shares and 81.2% of voting power. In our view, this significantly increases the likelihood of a transaction, subject to special committee approval.
SelectQuote (SLQT/$0.61 | Price Target: $5) Patrick McCann [email protected] | (314) 724-6266 Michael Kupinski [email protected] | (561) 994-5734 Launching Franchise-Based Distribution Channel Rating: OUTPERFORM
SelectQuote Local. SelectQuote announced SelectQuote Local, a new franchise model designed to complement its core telephonic insurance distribution platform by offering in-person sales and support. Management indicated the initiative leverages the company’s existing marketing, technology, and carrier relationships, positioning it as a natural extension of the platform rather than a shift in strategy.
Complementary model and TAM expansion. In our view, SelectQuote Local is unlikely to cannibalize the company’s core call center operations, as it targets a distinct subset of consumers who prefer in-person engagement. We believe the company can leverage excess lead flow and brand recognition to support early franchise success without significant incremental marketing investment. Additionally, we expect the in-person model could enhance cross-sell opportunities with Healthcare Services, as local relationships may improve customer engagement and trust.
Star Equity Holdings, Inc. (STRR/$9.6 | Price Target: $16) Joe Gomes [email protected] | 561-999-2262 Fourth Quarter 2025 Results Rating: OUTPERFORM
Overview. Star Equity’s fourth quarter and full-year financial results reflect positive momentum and improvement over the prior year quarter, largely driven by the August 2025 merger. Overall, 2025 was a transformational year for Star. The merger strengthened the Company’s operating and financial position and accelerated the growth strategy.
4Q25 Results. Fourth quarter 2025 revenue of $56.8 million rose 69% y-o-y, but was slightly below our $58 million estimate. Adjusted EBITDA increased to $2.2 million versus $0.9 million last year. We had projected $2.3 million. Adjusted net loss was $0.10/sh, compared to adjusted net income of $0.04/sh in 4Q24.

Century Lithium Corp. (CYDVF/$0.27 | Price Target: $3.05) Mark Reichman [email protected] | (561) 999-2272 Hans Baldau [email protected] | Updated Feasibility Study Highlights Incremental Value Rating: OUTPERFORM
Updated feasibility study. Century recently filed its updated 2026 NI 43-101 feasibility study for its 100%-owned Angel Island Lithium Project in Nevada. The updated study reflects engineering optimization and improvements that materially strengthen the project’s economic profile and highlight Angel Island as one of the most significant and economically robust sedimentary lithium developments in the United States.
Lower initial capital expenditures. Phase I initial capital expenditures are estimated to be $997 million, a significant reduction from the $1.5 billion outlined in the 2024 Study. The updated study streamlines development into a two-phase approach. Phase I contemplates 7,500 tonnes per day (tpd) of mill feed, expanding to 15,000 tpd in Phase II beginning in Year 5. Phase II expansion capital is estimated at $660 million. A previously planned third expansion phase was eliminated, lowering overall capital requirements. The economic analysis is based on a 40-year production schedule, with planned life-of-mine average production of 26,500 tonnes per annum of battery-grade lithium carbonate.
Greenwich LifeSciences, Inc. (GLSI/$30.05 | Price Target: $45.00) Robert LeBoyer[email protected] | (212) 896-4625 Preliminary Phase 3 FLAMINGO-01 Update Shows Reduction In Breast Cancer Recurrence Rate Rating: OUTPERFORM
New Analysis Shows Less Than 1% Recurrence Rate. Greenwich Pharmaceuticals announced a preliminary update from its FLAMINGO-01 trial. The data from the open-label arm of the trial showed a recurrence rate of less than 1% per year compared to a recurrence rate of 4% per year for patients treated with Kadcyla (ado-trastuzumab emtansine or T-DM1, from Genentech) in the Phase 3 KATHERINE Study. This is a 70% to 80% reduction in the historical recurrence rate for these patients.
Background On The Phase 3 FLAMINGO-01 Trial. The trial tests GLSI-100, an immunotherapy to prevent recurrence of HER2-positive breast cancer. Its design has a doubleblind portion that enrolls patients with the immune marker HLA-A02 to receive either GLSI-100 or placebo, and an open-label arm that enrolls patients that have other HLA types (non-HLAA02). The new data is from the open-label arm of the trial.
Gyre Therapeutics, Inc (GYRE/$7.49 | Price Target: $20.00) Robert LeBoyer[email protected] | (212) 896-4625 Priority Review Received For Hydronidone In China Rating: OUTPERFORM
Gyre Receives Priority Review. Hydronidone has been awarded Priority Review Status by the Center for Drug Evaluation (CDE) of China’s National Medical Products Administration (NMPA). This is consistent with our expectations for an accelerated NDA review and late FY2026 approval for Hydronidone.
Meeting With The CMPA Was Positive. In early January, Gyre Pharmaceuticals (China) held a Pre-New Drug Application meeting with the CDE. At that time, the CDE agreed that data from the Hydronidone Phase 3 trial for treating chronic hepatitis B (CHB)-associated liver-fibrosis supported an application for conditional approval. It also met the criteria for Priority Review.

Strategic updates ahead of Q4 Earnings Call. At the Game Developers Conference (GDC) in San Francisco last week, the company provided updates across its game portfolio, outlining a steady pipeline of ARK franchise releases, expansions for existing titles, and new indie projects. The announcements were delivered ahead of the company’s Q4 and full-year 2025 earnings call scheduled for March 19, 2026, at 4:30 p.m. ET, providing a preview of its strategic product developments.
Strong Early Access sales. Notably, Bellwright has surpassed 1 million units sold on Steam during Early Access, demonstrating strong player engagement ahead of its 1.0 launch and planned expansion to Xbox and PlayStation. As a reminder, development is now fully in-house following the acquisition and integration of Donkey Crew, the Poland-based studio behind Bellwright, strengthening the franchise’s long-term potential.
Summit Midstream Corp (SMC/$30.73 | Price Target: $48.5) Mark Reichman [email protected] | (561) 999-2272 Hans Baldau [email protected] | Double E Pipeline Underpins Favorable Growth Outlook Rating: OUTPERFORM
Double E Pipeline growth. Summit recently signed two new long-term take-or-pay agreements totaling 540 MMcf/d of incremental firm capacity on the Double E Pipeline, an 11-year, 210 MMcf/d contract with a large investment-grade shipper and an 11-year, 230 MMcf/d agreement with an undisclosed shipper, alongside the previously announced 100 MMcf/d Producers Midstream II commitment, which received an affirmative FID during the quarter. These contracts are expected to grow the Permian Segment Adj. EBITDA from ~$34 million in 2025 to ~$60 million by 2029.
2026 guidance. Summit expects full-year 2026 Adj. EBITDA of $225 million to $265 million, with total capital expenditures of $85 million to $105 million, including approximately $35 million attributable to Double E. The outlook assumes WTI at approximately $64 per barrel and Henry Hub at approximately $3.40 per MMBtu, both materially below current strip prices, suggesting meaningful upside if the commodity environment is sustained. The company expects 116 to 126 well connections supported by seven active rigs and approximately 90 DUCs.

Q4 results. Bitcoin Depot reported Q4 revenue of $116.0 million, above our estimate of $112.0 million, reflecting somewhat stronger transaction activity than anticipated despite emerging regulatory headwinds. Adj. EBITDA of $1.6 million was below our forecast of $2.5 million due to higher operating expenses during the quarter.
Initial steps toward revenue diversification. The company is beginning to expand beyond the core Bitcoin ATM network through new fintech initiatives. It recently acquired Kutt, a peer-to-peer social betting platform, and launched ReadyBucks, a merchant cash advance platform targeting small businesses and gig workers. Management indicated that both initiative are starting small and not expected to materially impact near-term revenue.
NeuroSense Therapeutics Ltd. (NRSN/$0.81 | Price Target: $9) Robert LeBoyer [email protected] | (212) 896-4625 Phase 2b PARADIGM Study Published In JAMA Neurology Rating: OUTPERFORM
Presigious Journal Publishes The Phase 2b PARDIGM Study. JAMA Neurology has published an article dissussing the Phase 2b PARDIGM clinical trial. This peer-reviewed journal is published by the American Medical Association and regarded as one of the most prestigious journals in the field of neurology. We see this as a validation the clinical results and an acknowledgement of the impact PrimeC had on the amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) patients in the study.
PrimeC Addresses Important Mechanisms Of Neuron Degeneration. PrimeC is a proprietary fixed-dose oral combination of celecoxib and ciprofloxacin. These drugs target pathways of neuronal cell death, including regulation of microRNA synthesis, reduction in neuroinflammation, and modulation of iron accumulation. Additional testing by NeuroSense determined the optimal dosage combination of the two drugs for human studies and the extended releaase formulaton.
Townsquare Media (TSQ/$6.14 | Price Target: $15) Michael Kupinski [email protected] | (561) 994-5734 Jacob Mutchler [email protected] | Were We On The Same Investor Call? Rating: OUTPERFORM
In-line Q4 results. The company reported Q4 revenue and adj. EBITDA of $106.5 million and $21.5 million, both of which were in line with our estimates of $106.1 million and $22.0 million, respectively. Notably, the company continued to face headwinds in its digital businesses, which have been its primary growth engine.
Advertising trends appear to be improving. Digital revenues remained the company’s largest contributor and primary growth engine, representing approximately 55% of total revenue in 2025, up from 52% in 2024, and generated 56% of segment profit, compared with 50% a year earlier. Despite the stronger mix, fourth quarter Digital Advertising revenue declined 1%, as weakness in remnant advertising offset growth in direct-sold and programmatic digital advertising.

Gyre Therapeutics, Inc (GYRE/$7.81 | Price Target: $20) Robert LeBoyer [email protected] | (212) 896-4625 4Q25 Report Meets Expectations As A Transition Year Begins Rating: OUTPERFORM
4Q25 Revenues Showed Modest Increase. Gyre reported a 4Q loss of $1.7 million or $(0.02) per share and profit of $5.0 million or $0.06 per basic share and $0.02 per fully diluted share. Revenues of $116.6 million increased 10.2% over the $105.8 million in FY2024. These results are consistent with our view that FY2026 is a transition year, as the company focuses on approval and launch of Hydronidone plus the acquisition of Cullgen, Inc, adding its degrading protein technology platform (discussed in our Research Note on March 3).
Product Sales and Financials. FY2025 revenue of $116.6 million was driven by continued sales of Etuary and new product launches. Etuary sales of $106.1 million for FY2026 compare with $105.0 million in 4Q25. During the year, Gyre launched Contiva (avatrombopag maleate tablet) in March 2025 and Etorel (nintedanib ethanesulfonate capsules) in June 2025. Contiva sales were $5.5 million and Etorel sales were $4.6 million for the full year. The company expects the National Drug Procurement Program in China and market conditions to lower sales of $100.5 million to $111.0 million.
Saga Communications (SGA/$11.09 | Price Target: $18) Michael Kupinski [email protected] | (561) 994-5734 Jacob Mutchler [email protected] | Stepping Up Digital Investments Rating: OUTPERFORM
Q4 Results. The company reported Q4 revenue and adj. EBITDA of $26.5 million and $0.8 million, respectively, modestly below our estimates of $27.7 million and $2.0 million, as illustrated in Figure #1 Q4 Results. Results were impacted by softness in traditional broadcast revenue, while digital Interactive revenue remained a bright spot, increasing 25.8% y-o-y.
Strong digital results. The company continued to implement its blended digital-radio strategy, integrating broadcast and digital solutions to enhance advertiser engagement and retention. Total Interactive revenue reached $4.3 million, an increase of 25.8% year over year, with full year growth reaching 19.1%. Furthermore, the growth was driven by several verticals, including search advertising, targeted display, and e-commerce platforms, reflecting growing adoption of integrated radio and digital advertising campaigns.
Seanergy Maritime (SHIP/$12.68 | Price Target: $18) Mark Reichman [email protected] | (561) 999-2272 Hans Baldau [email protected] | Fleet Expansion Continues; Squireship Sale Rating: OUTPERFORM
Newbuild program expands to five vessels. Seanergy announced the acquisition of two Japanese newbuild scrubber-fitted 181,500 dwt Capesize vessels, expanding the total newbuild program to five vessels, including four Capesize vessels and one Newcastlemax, with a combined contract value of approximately $384 million. The first Japanese vessel is a direct purchase with delivery expected between Q2 and Q3 2027, while the second is structured as a 10-year bareboat-in contract with a Q1 2029 delivery and a purchase option beginning at year five. The combined cost of both Japanese vessels is approximately $158 million.

The transaction is expected to generate net proceeds of approximately $13.5 million after debt repayment and produce an accounting gain of roughly $4 million. The sale is consistent with management’s capital recycling strategy, monetizing an older vessel at an attractive valuation while funding the newbuilding program and reducing average fleet age.

Importantly, 4Q25 Revenues of $142.0 million were up 41.6% over 4Q24, close to our estimate of $142.4 million, with a slightly different mix from Patient Services and Dispensary Revenues. EBITDA in 4Q25 was $0.15 million, turning positive for the first time, and compares with $(7.8) million in 4Q24. Cash balance on December 31, 2025 was $33.6 million.
Margins Improved During 4Q and For FY2025. Overall Gross Margin for 4Q2025 improved to 16.0% of revenues compared with 14.6% in 4Q2024.

Despite continued demand challenges globally and tariff-related disruptions in the U.S., ACCO maintained or grew its market position in most categories, demonstrating the resilience and strength of the brand portfolio. ACCO delivered sales and adjusted EPS in-line with management’s outlook.
4Q25 Results. Net sales were $428.8 million, down 4.3% y-o-y, reflecting soft global demand for certain products, partially offset by growth in gaming accessories. We were at $435 million.

Overview. CVG delivered strong year-over-year improvement in profitability despite a challenging demand environment, particularly in the North American Class 8 truck market. The continued year-over-year improvement in profitability was again driven by management’s focus on operational efficiency improvement. Another highlight of the quarter is the continued strong performance within the Global Electrical Systems segment. During the third quarter, CVG saw segment performance inflect with revenues up 6% compared to the prior year. The fourth quarter saw further acceleration, with revenues up 13% y-o-y.

FY2025 financial results. FreightCar America generated 2025 adjusted earnings per share (EPS) of $0.50 per share compared to $0.15 per share in 2024. Gross margin as a percentage of revenue increased to 14.6% compared to 12.0% in FY2024. Revenue and rail car deliveries decreased to $501.0 million and 4,125, respectively, compared to $559.4 million and 4,362 in 2024. Adjusted EBITDA increased to $44.8 million compared to $43.0 million in 2024. Full year adjusted free cash flow amounted to $31.4 million versus $21.7 million in 2024.
FY2026 corporate guidance. Railcar deliveries are expected to be in the range of 4,000 to 4,500, revenue in the range of $500 to $550 million, and adjusted EBITDA of $41 to $50 million. Guidance for 2026 adj. EBITDA reflects facility lease expenses recorded in cost of goods sold instead of previously classified within interest expense. On a lease-adjusted basis, 2025 adj.

NN (NNBR/$1.3 | Price Target: $6) Joe Gomes [email protected] | 561-999-2262 Toward a Brighter Future Rating: OUTPERFORM
Momentum. NN is bringing solid momentum into 2026. A number of end markets are showing improvement, including the commercial vehicle market, where orders continue to show year-over-year strength. Management noted on the call that the electric grid, data center, defense, and electronics sectors are all growing in the first quarter and are expected to grow in the full year 2026.
Improved Margins. As the business mix moves up the value chain, NN is experiencing higher margins. Adjusted gross margin performance was 18.8% in the fourth quarter and 18.5% for the full year, which again has NN trending towards management’s five year goal of 20% consolidated gross margins.
Power Metallic Mines Inc. (PNPNF/$0.87 | Price Target: $2.65) Mark Reichman [email protected] | (561) 999-2272 Hans Baldau [email protected] | High-Grade Lion Drilling Continues to Expand Near-Surface Potential Rating: OUTPERFORM
Best copper intercept to date. Power Metallic reported results from the first hole of the 2026 winter drill campaign. Hole PML-26-049 intersected 16.55 meters grading 10.08% copper (15.11% CuEq) within massive to brecciated copper sulphides, representing the strongest copper intersection reported at the Lion Zone to date. The hole was drilled to support interpretation of near-surface mineralization and to expand the deposit’s footprint in an area that management believes may be amenable to open-pit extraction.
Infill drilling is supportive. Results from holes PML-26-049 and PML-25-047 confirm strong grade continuity within the modeled Lion Zone geometry, improving confidence that portions of the deposit may ultimately support Indicated Resource classification. Deeper drilling has also expanded high-grade lenses within the system, including 7.60 meters grading 7.30% CuEq within an 18.0-meter interval grading 3.18% CuEq, further extending mineralization within the Lion zone.
The Beachbody Company (BODI/$8.33 | Price Target: $15) Michael Kupinski [email protected] | (561) 994-5734 Jacob Mutchler [email protected] | Turnaround Complete, Growth Phase Begins Rating: OUTPERFORM
Q4 results exceeded expectations. Q4 revenue of $55.5 million and adjusted EBITDA of $12.9 million, surpassed our estimates of $53.0 million and $5.0 million, respectively. Although revenue declined 7.3% sequentially and 35.7% year over year due to the continued wind-down of the legacy MLM model, operating income reached $8.2 million, marking the second consecutive profitable quarter and a $41.1 million year-over-year improvement.
Lean cost structure continues to drive strong operating leverage and profitability. Consolidated gross margin expanded 400 basis points year over year to 74.5%, supported by improved operational efficiency and lower digital amortization costs. Total operating expenses declined 64.6% year over year to $33.2 million as restructuring initiatives and the elimination of MLM-related costs materially reduced SG&A. As a result, the company generated $5.2 million in net income and its ninth consecutive quarter of positive adjusted EBITDA.

In FY2025, railcar deliveries were 4,125, revenue amounted to $501.0 million, and adjusted EBITDA totaled $44.8 million. FY2026 guidance is below our current 2026 estimates. Following relatively soft industry orders during the fourth quarter of 2025, we think management is taking a conservative view based on an increasingly uncertain economic outlook and an EOY 2025 backlog of 1,926 units valued at $137.5 million. Moreover, 2026 adj. EBITDA guidance reflects facility lease expenses recorded in cost of goods sold instead of previously classified within interest expense. On a lease-adjusted basis, 2025 adj. EBITDA was $41.2 million.
Solid Q4 results. The company reported Q4 revenue of $90.0 million and adj. EBITDA of $15.0 million. While revenue was modestly below our estimate of $99.0 million, adj. EBITDA was in line with our estimate of $15.1 million, as illustrated in Figure #1 Q4 Results. Notably, the strong adj. EBITDA figure was largely driven by more efficient use of marketing spend, which decreased approximately 25% y-o-y.
Key operating metrics. Bookings and monthly paying users (MPU) decreased by 7% and 10%, respectively, compared with the prior year period, but the decrease was expected as the company is focused on the quality of gameplay and retaining high-quality users. Furthermore, the company’s strategy appears to be paying off, as average bookings per paying user (ABPPU) increased from $102 in Q4’24 to $106 in Q4’25.
Viewership Milestone. The company announced that more than four million viewers tuned in to its broadcast and streaming platforms for its live coverage of the President’s State of the Union address on February 24. Notably, the Newsmax channel garnered 2.8 million total viewers, with an additional 1.3 million streaming the coverage on Newsmax2. The strong viewership marked a major ratings and digital engagement milestone, reflecting the network’s growing reach across traditional and digital platforms.
Ratings Leadership. The network’s total audience exceeded the combined viewership of Fox Business, CNBC, and NewsNation by 23%. Throughout the evening, the Newsmax team provided continuous updates on Newsmax.com and engaged more than 23 million social media followers. Additionally, a wide range of lawmakers, administration officials, and political commentators joined the network on both broadcast and streaming coverage.

Information Services Group (III/$4.53 | Price Target: $6.5) Joe Gomes [email protected] | 561-999-2262 Jacob Mutchler [email protected] | AI Demand Drives Solid Results Rating: OUTPERFORM
Q425. Operating performance in 4Q25 was solid and came in at the upper end of management’s guidance. Revenue came in at $61.2 million, up 6% y-o-y. Adjusted EBITDA grew 24% to $8.1 million, and adjusted EBITDA margin expanded 189 basis points to 13.2%.

InPlay Oil (IPOOF/$12.46 | Price Target: $17) Mark Reichman [email protected] | (561) 999-2272 Hans Baldau [email protected] | Pembina Assets Shine, Disciplined Outlook Rating: OUTPERFORM
2025 financial results. InPlay Oil reported full-year 2025 adjusted funds flow (AFF) of C$114.4 million, or C$4.68 per share, above our estimate of C$112.9 million, or C$4.58 per share. Revenue for the year totaled C$291.4 million, ahead of our C$290.6 million forecast, as stronger Q4 production of 19,589 boe/d exceeded our estimate of 19,419 boe/d, in addition to stronger than expected AECO pricing. Full-year production averaged 17,043 boe/d, slightly above our 17,000 boe/d estimate.
Updated 2026 estimates. In the first quarter of 2026, we expect now revenues of C$79.9 million, AFF of C$27.4 million, and AFF per share of C$0.98, compared to prior estimates of C$79.0 million, C$26.6 million, and C$0.95, respectively. For the full-year 2026, we now estimate revenues of C$340.1 million, AFF of C$126.7 million, and AFF per share of C$4.53, up from C$340.1 million, C$125.2 million, and C$4.45. We are maintaining our production estimate of 18,605 boe/d in the first quarter and 18,900 boe/d for the year. These estimates are reflective of slightly higher commodity pricing.

First Phosphate Corp. (FRSPF)/OUTPERFORM – Gaining Government Support and Commercial Momentum NN (NNBR)/OUTPERFORM – First Look: 4Q25 and Full Year 2025 Results Ocugen (OCGN)/OUTPERFORM – FY2025 Reported With All Three Clinical Trials On Schedule
First Phosphate Corp. (FRSPF/$0.76 | Price Target: $1.65) Mark Reichman [email protected] | (561) 999-2272 Hans Baldau [email protected] | Gaining Government Support and Commercial Momentum Rating: OUTPERFORM
Canadian government steps up with financial support. First Phosphate received conditional approval for up to C$16.7 million in non-repayable funding through Natural Resources Canada under the Global Partnerships Initiative. The contribution will fund the assessment of technical and engineering parameters, including processing circuits and equipment, needed to validate the company’s ability to produce battery-grade phosphate concentrate aligned with its definitive offtake agreement. The funding supports study activities through 2028. First Phosphate received US$523,017 under a long-term phosphate concentrate offtake agreement, reinforcing commercial validation and establishing initial cash flow tied to downstream demand.
Phosphate added to Canada’s critical minerals list. The Canadian federal government amended the 2025 budget to include phosphate as a critical mineral essential for clean technology. This designation makes First Phosphate eligible for the 30% Critical Mineral Exploration Tax Credit (CMETC) and the 30% Clean Technology Manufacturing Investment Tax Credit (CTM). The CMETC enhances the company’s ability to raise exploration capital, while the CTM offers the potential to materially reduce downstream capital intensity for the planned phosphoric acid and LFP cathode active material facilities.
NN (NNBR/$1.53 | Price Target: $6) Joe Gomes [email protected] | 561-999-2262 First Look: 4Q25 and Full Year 2025 Results Rating: OUTPERFORM
Overview. For the full year 2025, NN delivered a third consecutive year of improved financial performance, although 4Q25 results were modestly below our expectations. Importantly, NN completed the most capital-intensive portion of its transformation plan that included plant closures, significant headcount realignment, and exiting dilutive business. As a result, NN enters 2026 as a healthier, leaner, and more focused company, performing on multiple fronts, which should result in the next chapter of net sales growth.
4Q25 Results. Sales in 4Q25 were $104.7 million, down 1.7% y-o-y, primarily due to rationalization of underperforming business and plants and lower volumes. Adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter of 2025 was $12.9 million, or 12.3% of sales, compared to $12.1 million, or 11.3% of sales, for the same period of 2024. Adjusted net loss for the fourth quarter of 2025 was $0.1 million, or $0.00 per diluted share, compared to adjusted net loss of $0.9 million, or $0.02 per share, in 4Q24. We had estimated $107.5 million, $14.5 million, and $0.04, respectively.
Ocugen (OCGN/$1.96 | Price Target: $8) Robert LeBoyer [email protected] | (212) 896-4625 FY2025 Reported With All Three Clinical Trials On Schedule Rating: OUTPERFORM
FY2026 Reported With Important Milestones Ahead. Ocugen reported a loss for 4Q25 of $17.7 million or $(0.06) per share, with a FY2025 loss of $67.8 million or $(0.23) per share. Cash on December 31, 2025, was $18.6 million, not including $22.5 million from a common stock offering in January 2026. Importantly, the company confirmed several clinical trial milestones had been achieved or were on schedule for announcement later in 2026. This maintains the goal of submitting three BLAs for three products during the next three years.
Topline Data From OCU400 Expected In March 2027. The Phase 3 liMeliGhT trial testing OCU400 for retinitis pigmentosa (RP) has completed enrollment. The patients have a 1-year evaluation after treatment, with top-line data expected during March 2027. Ocugen plans to begin a rolling BLA submission with the Manufacturing and Preclinical Data sections later in 2026. The Phase 3 data and clinical sections are expected to be filed shortly after the final analysis. The full filing is expected to be completed in 1Q27. We anticipate 6-month review, with FDA approval received in Fall 2027.
Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) dropped one of the biggest corporate leadership announcements in years on Monday: Tim Cook will step down as CEO on September 1, 2026, transitioning to executive chairman, while John Ternus — currently Senior Vice President of Hardware Engineering — becomes the company’s eighth chief executive. The move was unanimously approved by Apple’s board of directors.
Ternus, 50, is a 25-year Apple veteran who joined the company in 2001 as a product design engineer and rose through the ranks overseeing hardware development for the iPhone, iPad, AirPods, and Mac product lines. His appointment continues Apple’s tradition of internal succession — the same approach used when Cook replaced Steve Jobs in 2011.
The transition is effective September 1, with Cook remaining in his CEO role through the summer to ensure continuity. Arthur Levinson, Apple’s non-executive chairman for the past 15 years, will shift to lead independent director at the same time Ternus joins the board.
For investors, the leadership change raises a question that goes beyond Apple’s $4 trillion market cap: what does a hardware-first CEO mean for the company’s strategic direction — and who benefits downstream?
Cook’s tenure was defined by operational excellence and margin expansion. Under his leadership, Apple’s profit more than quadrupled, and the company became the first to achieve a $1 trillion market cap. But the knock on Cook heading into his final years was the same one analysts have leveled at Apple broadly — a lagging AI strategy relative to peers.
Ternus inherits that problem directly. Apple has faced a bumpy rollout of its AI-enhanced Siri platform and relied on Google’s Gemini in January as a bridge while its own large language model development hit snags. The company is now accelerating development of AI-driven wearables — reportedly including smart glasses, a pendant device, and camera-equipped AirPods — along with a foldable iPhone that some analysts are calling the most significant hardware moment in years. Bloomberg has also reported Apple is eyeing deeper moves into robotics.
That product roadmap matters significantly for the small and microcap companies sitting inside Apple’s supply chain. Shifts in hardware strategy at the CEO level translate directly into procurement decisions, component specifications, and manufacturing volumes that flow through dozens of smaller, publicly traded suppliers. When Apple pivots toward new form factors — AI wearables, foldable displays, edge-computing hardware — it creates winners and losers across a web of suppliers many of which operate well below the $2 billion market cap threshold.
Wall Street’s initial read on the Ternus appointment has been cautiously positive. Morgan Stanley noted that promoting a product-centric engineer signals Apple’s core hardware flywheel will remain intact. Wedbush’s lead tech analyst characterized the move as an opportunity for Apple to shift from a defensive to offensive posture in the AI hardware race.
Whether Ternus can deliver on both sides of that mandate — preserving Cook’s operational discipline while channeling the kind of product innovation the market has been waiting for — will define not just Apple’s next chapter, but the trajectory of an entire ecosystem of smaller companies built around it.
Apple is scheduled to report fiscal second-quarter earnings next week, with Cook still at the helm for that call. Ternus, however, will almost certainly face pointed questions from investors about his vision from day one.
