Research News and Market Data on RAIL

05/04/2026

Continued Aftermarket revenue growth of 86% 

Gross profit margin of 17%, with 190 basis points of gross margin expansion

Sequential backlog growth of 14%

CHICAGO, May 04, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — FreightCar America, Inc. (NASDAQ: RAIL) (“FreightCar America” or the “Company”), a diversified manufacturer and supplier of railroad freight cars, railcar parts and components, today reported results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026.

First Quarter 2026 Highlights

  • Revenues of $64.3 million, consistent with expectations, compared to $96.3 million in the first quarter of 2025, with railcar deliveries of 577 units compared to 710 units in the prior year period
  • Gross margin of 16.8% with gross profit of $10.8 million, compared to gross margin of 14.9% with gross profit of $14.4 million in the first quarter of 2025
  • Recorded $49.1 million of non-cash adjustments related to warrant liability, resulting in net income of $41.6 million, or $1.15 per share, and adjusted net loss of $479 thousand, or $(0.04) per share
  • Adjusted EBITDA was $3.2 million, representing a margin of 4.9%, compared to $6.4 million and a margin of 6.7% in the first quarter of 2025
  • Ended the quarter with a backlog of 2,058 units valued at $156 million, reflecting a diversified mix of railcar conversion programs and new railcar builds

“Our first quarter results were in line with expectations and reflective of the current industry environment. Despite this environment, we continue to win high quality commercial opportunities, create new efficiencies and grow our aftermarket parts business. This represents our highest quarterly gross margin in over a decade and demonstrates that we are well positioned across the cycle,” said Nick Randall, President and Chief Executive Officer of FreightCar America. “Fleets continue to age and deferred replacement needs are contributing to pent-up demand across the industry. As replacement demand materializes, FreightCar America is well positioned to respond quickly and capitalize in a shorter lead-time environment, supported by scalable capacity and strong operational flexibility. At the same time, our differentiated full-service railcar offering, including retrofits, conversions and an expanding aftermarket presence, positions us well to drive growth and create value across a range of market conditions.”

Randall continued, “Looking ahead, we remain focused on disciplined execution against the opportunities we see across our business as the year progresses. Our tank car retrofit program remains on track, and we expect continued growth in our aftermarket program. Together, our total backlog, productivity improvements, flexible manufacturing footprint and disciplined commercial approach provide visibility into our full-year expectations and reinforce our ability to perform across a range of market conditions.”

Fiscal Year 2026 Outlook

The Company is reaffirming the outlook for fiscal year 2026:

 Fiscal 2026 OutlookYear-over-Year
Change at Midpoint
of Range
Railcar Deliveries4,000 – 4,500 Railcars3.0%
Revenue$500 – $550 million4.8%
Adjusted EBITDA1$41 – $50 million10.4%


1. The Company does not provide a reconciliation of forward-looking Adjusted EBITDA guidance due to the inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying adjustments necessary to calculate such non-GAAP measure without unreasonable effort. Material changes to such adjustments, including warrant liability and non-core operating items, could affect future GAAP results.

Mike Riordan, Chief Financial Officer of FreightCar America, added, “During the quarter, we continued to grow our backlog and maintained solid balance sheet flexibility, enabling us to further reduce debt and preserve financial strength. We are well positioned to continue executing on our capital allocation priorities, including targeted organic investments that expand our capabilities and disciplined selective opportunities that strengthen our platform. Looking ahead, we expect these investments to support profitable growth across the business and drive long-term value for our shareholders.”

The Company will host a conference call and live webcast on Tuesday, May 5, at 11:00 a.m. (Eastern Time) to discuss its first quarter 2026 financial results.

MALVERN, Pa., May 04, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Ocugen, Inc. (“Ocugen” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: OCGN), a pioneering biotechnology leader in gene therapies for blindness diseases, today announced its intention to offer, subject to market conditions and other factors, $115 million aggregate principal amount of Convertible Senior Notes due 2034 (the “notes”) in a private offering (the “offering”) to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Ocugen also expects to grant the initial purchaser of the notes a 13-day option to purchase up to an additional $15 million aggregate principal amount of the notes. The offering is subject to market and other conditions, and there can be no assurance as to whether or when the offering may be completed, or as to the actual size or terms of the offering.

Ocugen intends to use approximately $32.7 million of the net proceeds from the offering to fully repay the outstanding principal amount of, plus accrued and unpaid interest on, the loan outstanding under its Loan and Security Agreement with affiliates of Avenue Capital Group and pay the related prepayment fee and other fees and expenses in connection therewith. Ocugen expects to use the remaining net proceeds from the offering, including any additional proceeds from the initial purchaser’s exercise of its option to purchase additional notes, for general corporate purposes.

The notes will be Ocugen’s general unsecured obligations and will rank senior in right of payment to all of its future indebtedness that is expressly subordinated in right of payment to the notes, equal in right of payment to all of its existing and future liabilities that are not so subordinated, and junior to all of its secured indebtedness, to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness. Interest will be payable semi-annually in arrears. The notes may be converted into cash, shares of Ocugen’s common stock or a combination thereof, at Ocugen’s election. The interest rate, conversion rate and other terms of the notes are to be determined upon pricing of the offering.

The notes will only be offered to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act. Neither the notes nor the shares of Ocugen’s common stock potentially issuable upon conversion of the notes, if any, have been, or will be, registered under the Securities Act or the securities laws of any other jurisdiction, and unless so registered, may not be offered or sold in the United States except pursuant to an applicable exemption from such registration requirements.

This announcement is neither an offer to sell nor a solicitation of an offer to buy any of these securities and shall not constitute an offer, solicitation or sale in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale is unlawful.

Cautionary Note on Forward-Looking Statements

This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, which are subject to risks and uncertainties, including but not limited to, statements regarding the proposed terms of the notes; the anticipated terms of the notes; the size of the offering, including the initial purchaser’s option to purchase additional notes; the anticipated use of proceeds from the offering, including the repayment of the existing loan facility; the completion of the offering, and other statements contained in this press release that are not historical facts. Ocugen may, in some cases, use terms such as “predicts,” “believes,” “potential,” “proposed,” “continue,” “estimates,” “anticipates,” “expects,” “plans,” “intends,” “may,” “could,” “might,” “will,” “should,” or other words that convey uncertainty of future events or outcomes to identify these forward-looking statements. Such statements are subject to numerous important factors, risks, and uncertainties that may cause actual events or results to differ materially from Ocugen’s current expectations, including, but not limited to: uncertainties related to market conditions and whether the offering will be completed on the anticipated terms or at all; the impact of the offering on the market price of Ocugen’s common stock; risks related to the potential dilution to holders of Ocugen’s common stock; and uncertainties regarding the conversion price and other terms of the notes. These and other risks and uncertainties are more fully described in Ocugen’s periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), including the risk factors described in the section entitled “Risk Factors” in the quarterly and annual reports that Ocugen files with the SEC. Any forward-looking statements that Ocugen makes in this press release speak only as of the date of this press release. Except as required by law, Ocugen assumes no obligation to update forward-looking statements contained in this press release whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise, after the date of this press release.

Research News and Market Data on PNPNF

TORONTO, May 4, 2026 /CNW/ – Power Metallic Mines Inc. (the “Company” or “Power Metallic”) (TSXV: PNPN) (OTCBB: PNPNF) (Frankfurt: IVV1) is pleased to provide additional assays from its winter 2026 drill program.

Lion Zone MRE Infill Program

Drilling continued to define the high-grade Lion Zone in preparation for a 2026 Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE). The infill drill holes in this release are for holes that cover approximately 200 m of strike length from the middle core of the Lion Zone (PML-26-094) to the western edge (PML-26-104), defining mineralization at a vertical depth of approximately 100 m below surface (Figure 1). These holes will be important for future mineral resource estimates to an Indicated Resource classification, potentially for open pit exploitation.

The 2026 winter drill campaign continues to support the modelled interpretation of the Lion Zone based on earlier wider spaced drilling and includes PML-26-094 which intersected the interpreted core of the Lion Zone and adds further support to wide intersections of high-grade copper near surface with 17.45 m @ 9.47% CuEqRec1 including 6.30 m @ 17.91% CuEqRec1 (Table 1).

Hole PML-26-101 tested the zone approximately 100 m east of PML-26-094 at a slightly deeper vertical depth and contained high grade over a very wide intersection with 39.00 m @ 5.66% CuEqRec1 including 9.20 m @ 15.18% CuEqRec1. A further 100 m west hole PML-26-104 tested the western edge of the Lion Zone and intersected 7.40 m @ 1.07% CuEqRec1 and confirmed the expected mineralization modeled from the wider spaced earlier drilling in this area.

1Copper Equivalent Rec Calculation (CuEqRec1)

CuEqRec represents CuEq calculated based on the following metal prices (USD) : 2,360.15 $/oz Au, 27.98 $/oz Ag, 1,215.00 $/oz Pd, 1000.00 $/oz Pt, 4.00 $/lb Cu, 10.00 $/lb Ni and 22.50 $/lb Co., and recovered grades based on recent locked-cycle metallurgical recoveries by SGS Canada Inc (see press release Jan 21, 2006).

Power Metallic is expecting more assay results from the MRE drilling and the regional exploration in the coming days and weeks.

Exploratory Drilling – Between Lion and Tiger

Drill holes PML-26-071, 074, and 078 were designed to test relatively shallow depths to explore for additional zones of mineralization between Lion and Tiger. While none of the holes hit sufficiently wide zones of mineralization, narrow zones included 0.8 meters @ 0.33% Cu, 0.78 g/t Pd, and 0.35 g/t Pt in hole PML-26-074, indicating the mineralizing structures are still present in the Lion to Tiger area.

“The heart of Lion continues to deliver impressive results. Both of these holes would have broken into our top six holes at the Lion Zone. We continue to build towards what we believe will be a very positive Mineral Resource Estimate in third quarter of this year,” commented Terry Lynch, CEO & Director.

About Power Metallic Mines Inc.

Power Metallic is a Canadian exploration company focused on advancing the Nisk Project Area (Nisk–Lion–Tiger)—a high–grade Copper–PGE, Nickel, gold and silver system—toward Canada’s next polymetallic mine.

On 1 February 2021, Power Metallic (then Chilean Metals) secured an option to earn up to 80% of the Nisk project from Critical Elements Lithium Corp. (TSX–V: CRE). Following the June 2025 purchase of 313 adjoining claims (~167 km²) from Li–FT Power, the Company now controls ~330 km² and roughly 50 km of prospective basin margins.

Power Metallic is expanding mineralization at the Nisk and Lion discovery zones, evaluating the Tiger target, and exploring the enlarged land package through successive drill programs.

Beyond the Nisk Project Area, Power Metallic indirectly has an interest in significant land packages in British Columbia and Chile, by its 50% share ownership position in Chilean Metals Inc., which were spun out from Power Metallic via a plan of arrangement on February 3, 2025.

It also owns 100% of Power Metallic Arabia which owns 100% interest in the Jabul Baudan exploration license in The Kingdon of Saudi Arabia’s Jabal Said Belt. The property encompasses over 200 square kilometres in an area recognized for its high prospectivity for copper gold and zinc mineralization. The region is known for its massive volcanic sulfide (VMS) deposits, including the world-class Jabal Sayid mine and the promising Umm and Damad deposit.

Release – ACCO Brands Reports First Quarter Results

Posted on by [email protected]

Research News and Market Data on ACCO

Apr 30, 2026 4:05 PM Eastern Daylight Time

  • Reported net sales increased 8% to $344 million; above the Company’s outlook
  • Diluted earnings per share of $0.20, reflecting gain on acquisition
  • Adjusted diluted earnings per share of $0.02, above the Company’s outlook
  • Provides 2Q outlook, reaffirms full-year 2026 outlook
  • Integration of the EPOS acquisition progressing well, with projected full-year sales in line with expectations and synergies on track

LAKE ZURICH, Ill.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–ACCO Brands Corporation (NYSE: ACCO) today reported financial results for its first quarter ended March 31, 2026.

“We delivered a solid start to the year, with both sales and adjusted EPS coming in above our first quarter outlook. Results reflected better-than-anticipated comparable sales and EPOS outperforming expectations. The integration of EPOS is progressing well and we see meaningful opportunities to expand the brand across our global portfolio,” stated ACCO Brands’ President and Chief Executive Officer, Tom Tedford.

“While the operating environment remains dynamic, we remain confident in our ability to deliver future value creation for our shareholders. We continue to focus on pivoting our portfolio to faster growing technology peripherals, supporting our category leading brands, executing and integrating acquisitions like EPOS, while maintaining strong cost discipline. With $75 million to $85 million in expected free cash flow and resulting leverage of 3.7x to 3.9x, and a clear path to our $100 million cost savings target, we are positioned to deliver improved profitability and cash flows in 2026,” added Mr. Tedford.

First Quarter Results

Net sales were $343.7 million for the first quarter, up 8.3 percent from $317.4 million in 2025. The net sales increase reflects the benefit of positive foreign exchange, the EPOS acquisition, growth in Latin America and in computer accessories in the Americas segment.

Operating loss was $10.4 million for the quarter versus an operating loss of $6.7 million in 2025. Restructuring expense primarily related to EPOS and a litigation settlement totaled $10.7 million, compared to $2.3 million in the prior year. Adjusted operating income was $11.7 million, compared to $6.9 million in 2025. The increase in adjusted operating income reflects cost savings, partially offset by lower organic volumes.

For the first quarter, net income was $19.4 million, or $0.20 per share, compared to a net loss of $13.2 million, or $(0.14) per share, in 2025. Net income was positively impacted by $37.6 million, due to a bargain purchase gain related to our preliminary purchase price allocation from the acquisition of EPOS. Adjusted net income was $1.8 million, compared to adjusted net loss of $2.0 million in 2025, and adjusted earnings per share were $0.02 per share, compared to an adjusted loss per share of $(0.02) in 2025.

Cash Flow, Debt and Dividend

For the quarter, operating cash flow was $3.5 million versus $5.5 million in the prior year. Free cash flow was $1.4 million versus $3.3 million in the prior year. The Company’s consolidated leverage ratio as of March 31, 2026 was 4.1x.

In the quarter, the Company paid dividends of $6.9 million.

On April 24, 2026, ACCO Brands announced that its board of directors declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.075 per share. The dividend will be paid on June 17, 2026 to stockholders of record at the close of business on May 22, 2026.

Business Segment Results

ACCO Brands Americas – First quarter segment net sales of $178.5 million increased 2.6 percent from $173.9 million in the prior year. Net sales in the quarter were positively impacted by favorable foreign exchange, the EPOS acquisition, growth in Latin America and computer accessories. Comparable sales were $169.9 million, down 2.3 percent versus prior year. Comparable sales declines reflect reduced demand for office product categories.

First quarter operating income was $3.4 million, compared to $0.9 million a year earlier. Restructuring expense primarily related to EPOS and the multi-year cost reduction program was $2.2 million, compared to $1.8 million in the prior year. Adjusted operating income was $12.8 million, up from $10.0 million in the prior year. The increase in adjusted operating income reflects cost savings, which more than offset unfavorable product mix, as well as lower volume in certain categories.

ACCO Brands International – First quarter segment net sales of $165.2 million increased 15.1 percent from $143.5 million in the prior year, with the increase due to favorable foreign exchange, which increased sales by 9.8 percent and the EPOS acquisition. Comparable sales were $139.5 million, down 2.8 percent versus the prior year. Comparable sales declines reflect reduced demand for office product categories.

First quarter operating income was $2.4 million, compared to $5.1 million in the prior year. Restructuring expense related to EPOS and the multi-year cost reduction program of $4.5 million, compared to $0.5 million in the prior year. Adjusted operating income was $11.1 million, compared with $9.6 million in the prior year. The increase in adjusted operating income primarily reflects cost savings.

Outlook

“The first quarter performance gives us confidence in our full-year outlook. The combination of EPOS, stabilizing demand in several categories and favorable foreign exchange position us for revenue growth in 2026. Our multi-year cost reduction program is on track to deliver $100 million in savings by year-end, and we are positioned to deliver improved profitability, while investing in higher-growth technology peripherals,” concluded Mr. Tedford.

For the full year, the Company continues to expect reported sales to be in the range of flat to up 3.0%. This range anticipates the potential softening in customer demand reflecting the recent macroeconomic uncertainties. Full year adjusted EPS is expected to be within the range of $0.84 to $0.89. The Company expects 2026 free cash flow to be within the range of $75 million to $85 million, with a consolidated leverage ratio within a range of 3.7x to 3.9x.

In the second quarter, the Company expects reported sales to be in the range of up 1.0% to 4.0%, with a reduced foreign exchange impact. Adjusted EPS is projected to be within a range of $0.24 to $0.28.

Webcast

At 8:30 a.m. ET on May 1, 2026, ACCO Brands Corporation will host a conference call to discuss the Company’s first quarter 2026 results. The call will be broadcast live via webcast.

  • Ongoing Phase 1b human challenge study with oral, direct-acting protease inhibitor is designed to demonstrate proof-of-concept as a preventive and a treatment
  • Fully enrolled first cohort is assessing the infectivity of the human challenge inoculum
  • There are no approved treatments or vaccines for norovirus, the leading cause of acute gastroenteritis across all age groups and geographies with a $60 billion annual economic burden
  • FDA Fast Track designation granted for CDI-988 underscores the lack of approved therapies and seriousness of norovirus infection

BOTHELL, Wash., April 30, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Cocrystal Pharma, Inc. (Nasdaq: COCP) (“Cocrystal” or the “Company”) announces that the mechanism of action and clinical advancement of its first oral protease inhibitor CDI-988 were featured today in an oral presentation at the 39th International Conference on Antiviral Research (ICAR 2026) in Prague, Czech Republic. The presentation, titled “First Oral Direct-Acting Antiviral CDI-988 for Norovirus Infection Prevention and Treatment: Novel Mechanism of Action and Phase 1 Study Results,” was delivered by Sam Lee, Ph.D., President and co-CEO of Cocrystal. Presentation slides are available on the Company’s website here.

“It was an honor to share our progress with CDI-988 with the global antiviral research community attending ICAR 2026,” said Dr. Lee. “Following favorable Phase 1 data, we have advanced CDI-988 into a Phase 1b study under a human challenge model that provides an efficient framework to rapidly demonstrate proof of concept as a preventive and as a treatment for norovirus infection. We have now completed enrollment of the stage 1 study cohort, which will establish the infectivity rate of the GII.2 (Snow Mountain Virus) challenge inoculum. This is a critical step in validating infectivity in the study cohorts.

“Multiple norovirus vaccine clinical studies have been initiated over the past decade, yet none have led to an approval in part due to the virus’s extensive genetic variation and drift, spanning 10 genogroups and 49 genotypes,” Dr. Lee added. “CDI-988 is designed to target the highly conserved region of the 3CL protease across all known norovirus strains, including GII.4 and the re-emerging GII.17 variants, as well as all coronaviruses. We believe this compound could offer a much‑needed option for prevention and treatment in a convenient oral formulation that can be readily stockpiled in advance of norovirus outbreaks.”

CDI-988 is a first, oral direct-acting antiviral and was developed using Cocrystal’s proprietary structure-based drug discovery platform technology. As presented by Dr. Lee, in preclinical studies CDI-988 showed favorable gastrointestinal-targeted pharmacokinetics at the site of norovirus infection and also demonstrated potent antiviral activity in GII.4-infected human enteronoid model systems.

In a completed randomized, double‑blind, placebo‑controlled single‑ and multiple‑ascending dose Phase 1 study in healthy adults, CDI‑988 was generally safe and well tolerated across doses up to 1,200 mg, with headache as the most common treatment‑emergent adverse event and no serious adverse events reported. These results, together with a no-observed adverse effect of 1,000 mg/kg in GLP toxicology studies, support CDI-988’s further clinical development in norovirus.

The ongoing Phase 1b randomized, double‑blind, placebo‑controlled challenge study (NCT07198139) is being conducted at Emory University School of Medicine in collaboration with the University of North Carolina. The study is designed to enroll up to 40 healthy adults, ages 18 to 49, in staged cohorts. The stage 1 infectivity cohort, now fully enrolled, will be followed by prevention and treatment cohorts in which CDI‑988 is administered at 1,200 mg twice daily for five days. The primary efficacy endpoint is reduction in the incidence of clinical symptoms, with secondary endpoints including reduction in viral shedding, disease severity, safety and pharmacokinetics.

CDI‑988 has been granted Fast Track designation by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment and prophylaxis of norovirus infection, underscoring the serious nature of norovirus disease and the lack of approved therapies. Fast Track status is intended to facilitate development and expedite the review of drugs that address unmet medical needs, providing opportunities for more frequent FDA interactions, rolling review of a potential New Drug Application and potential eligibility for Priority Review.

About Norovirus

Norovirus is the leading cause of acute gastroenteritis among all age groups and all geographic regions. It is highly contagious and causes symptoms including nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, diarrhea, fatigue, fever and dehydration. It is notorious for outbreaks in semi-closed environments such as hospitals, nursing homes, cruise ships, schools and military facilities. Norovirus is responsible for an estimated 685 million cases and an estimated 200,000 deaths globally each year, with an approximate $60 billion in worldwide economic impact. In the United States alone, the virus is associated with 21 million infections annually, resulting in around 109,000 hospitalizations, 465,000 emergency department visits and 900 deaths. The estimated annual economic burden in the U.S. exceeds $10.6 billion. In developing nations, norovirus contributes up to 1.1 million hospitalizations and 218,000 pediatric deaths each year.
