Genius Sports Expands Beyond Data With $1.2 Billion Legend Acquisition

Posted on by slightbourne@noblecapitalmarkets.com

Genius Sports Limited (NYSE: GENI) has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Legend, a global digital sports and gaming media network, in a transaction valued at up to $1.2 billion. The deal, announced on February 5, 2026, marks a significant strategic step for Genius Sports as it expands beyond official sports data into a fully integrated media, advertising, and fan activation ecosystem.

Under the terms of the agreement, Genius Sports will pay $900 million at closing—comprised of $800 million in cash and $100 million in stock—along with a potential earnout of up to $300 million tied to profitability and cash flow targets over the two years following closing. The acquisition is expected to close in the second quarter of 2026, subject to customary regulatory and closing conditions.

Legend brings to the table a scaled and highly engaged media platform that monetizes sports fan attention through owned and operated digital properties, advanced marketing technology, and syndication partnerships with major publishers such as Sports Illustrated and Yahoo Sports. In 2025 alone, Legend generated approximately 320 million annual visits from 118 million unique users, with more than two-thirds returning regularly—providing Genius Sports with a predictable, high-quality audience base.

Strategically, the acquisition positions Genius Sports as the only company operating two synergistic businesses across official sports data and media and advertising. By combining Legend’s media reach with Genius Sports’ proprietary data, betting, and advertising infrastructure, the company expects to unlock greater scale, stronger margins, and higher cash conversion than previously outlined at its Investor Day.

Financially, the transaction is expected to be immediately accretive to Group Adjusted EBITDA margins and free cash flow conversion. On a 2026 annualized pro forma basis, the combined company is expected to generate approximately $1.1 billion in group revenue and $320–330 million in Group Adjusted EBITDA, with roughly 50% free cash flow conversion. Genius Sports reiterated its expectation to maintain at least a 20% compound annual revenue growth rate through 2028.

The integration of Legend into Genius Sports’ ecosystem will be powered by FANHub, the company’s sports fan activation platform. FANHub will connect Legend’s global audience and marketing technology with Genius Sports’ network of more than 2,000 sports, media, and betting partners through a single, integrated platform—enhancing monetization opportunities at moments when fans are most engaged and likely to act.

Genius Sports also provided preliminary unaudited results for fiscal year 2025, reporting group revenue of $669 million, up 31% year-over-year, and Group Adjusted EBITDA of $136 million, representing 59% growth and a 20% margin. Looking ahead, the company expects standalone 2026 revenue of $810–820 million and Adjusted EBITDA of $180–190 million, before factoring in the Legend acquisition.

Funding for the transaction will include an $850 million Term Loan B, with pro forma leverage expected to remain below 3.0x and decline significantly by 2028. With this acquisition, Genius Sports aims to redefine the digital sports and gaming media landscape—combining data, audience, and technology at unprecedented scale.

Research News and Market Data on FLWS

Jan 29, 2026

Reports Revenue of $702.2 million and Net Income of $70.6 million

Generates Adjusted EBITDA1 of $98.1 million

Provides Outlook for the Second Half of Fiscal Year 2026

JERICHO, N.Y.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– 1-800-FLOWERS.COM, Inc. (NASDAQ: FLWS), a leading provider of thoughtful expressions designed to help inspire customers to give more, connect more, and build more and better relationships, today reported results for its Fiscal 2026 second quarter ended December 28, 2025.

“Our teams remained focused on executing against our key strategic priorities throughout the holiday period, which continues to reflect the early stages of our broader transformation,” said Adolfo Villagomez, Chief Executive Officer. “While the topline impact of our initiatives will take time as we address structural challenges within the business, we made solid progress in the second quarter on our cost-optimization and organizational-streamlining efforts, including meaningful steps toward transforming our structure into a more functional and efficient organization. These actions are strengthening our operating foundation and better positioning the Company to achieve sustainable, profitable growth. I am proud of how our teams supported our customers and advanced the operational improvements and strategic priorities that are essential to our long-term success.”

Fiscal 2026 Second Quarter Performance

  • Total consolidated revenues decreased 9.5% to $702.2 million, compared with the prior year period, mainly due to a strategic shift that is focused on improving marketing effectiveness and profitability.
  • Gross profit margin decreased 120 basis points to 42.1%, compared with 43.3% in the prior year period, primarily due to deleveraging on the sales decline.
  • Operating expenses decreased $23.4 million to $221.1 million, compared with the prior year period, primarily due to lower marketing and labor costs. Excluding non-recurring charges and the impact of the Company’s non-qualified deferred compensation plan in both periods, operating expenses declined $25.9 million as compared with the prior year to $213.2 million.
  • Net income for the quarter was $70.6 million, or $1.10 per diluted share, as compared to a net income of $64.3 million, or $1.00 per share, in the prior year period.
  • Adjusted net income1 was $76.7 million, or $1.20 per diluted share, compared with an Adjusted Net income1 of $69.2 million, or $1.08 per share, in the prior year period.
  • Adjusted EBITDA1 for the quarter was $98.1 million, compared with Adjusted EBITDA1 of $116.3 million in the prior year period.

(1) Refer to “Definitions of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” and the tables attached at the end of this press release for reconciliation of non-GAAP results to applicable GAAP results.

Segment Results

The Company provides Fiscal 2026 second quarter selected financial results for its Gourmet Foods & Gift Baskets, Consumer Floral & Gifts, and BloomNet® segments in the tables attached to this release and as follows:

  • Gourmet Foods & Gift Baskets: For the quarter, revenues declined 3.8% to $499.0 million, as compared with the prior year period. Gross profit margin decreased 120 basis points from the prior year period to 42.3% due to deleveraging on the sales decline and increased tariff, commodity and shipping costs. The segment contribution margin1 was $105.3 million, compared with segment contribution margin of $111.4 million in the prior year period, excluding severance and system implementation costs.
  • Consumer Floral & Gifts: For the quarter, revenues declined 22.7% to $181.2 million, as compared with the prior year period. Gross profit margin decreased 180 basis points from the prior year period to 40.1% due to deleveraging on the sales decline, as well as higher tariff and commodity costs. The segment contribution margin1 was $16.6 million, compared with $21.6 million in the prior year period, excluding severance costs.
  • BloomNet: For the quarter, revenues decreased 3.1% to $22.1 million, as compared with the prior year period. Gross profit margin remained consistent with the prior year period at 50.9%. The segment contribution margin1 was $6.4 million, compared with $7.5 million in the prior year period, excluding severance costs.

Fiscal Year 2026 Outlook

The Company views Fiscal Year 2026 as a pivotal period of foundation setting. By transforming 1-800-Flowers.com, Inc. into a customer-centric, data-driven organization with clear objectives and ROI-focused decision making, the Company aims to position itself to fuel future growth.

For the second half of Fiscal Year 2026, the Company expects revenue to decline in the low double-digit range, reflecting a continued focus on improving marketing contribution margin, the impact of changes to search engine results page, including increased paid placements and AI-driven content, which negatively impacted organic visibility and direct traffic, and tougher comparisons following higher levels of less efficient marketing spend in the prior year.

For the second half of Fiscal Year 2026, the Company expects Adjusted EBITDA1 to decline slightly compared to the prior year. On a normalized basis for the second half of Fiscal Year 2026, Adjusted EBITDA1 is expected to increase slightly year over year, which excludes approximately $12 million of anticipated incentive compensation and consultant costs incurred in the period. Ongoing cost-optimization initiatives and organizational-streamlining efforts are expected to help offset topline pressure.

The Company’s strategic priorities are focused on positioning the organization for long-term growth. These priorities include:

  • driving cost savings and organizational efficiency,
  • building a customer-centric and data-driven organization,
  • broadening our reach beyond our e-commerce sites into new channels, and
  • strengthening our team through enhanced talent and accountability.

With a renewed commitment to agility and customer-centricity, the Company believes these foundational steps will set the stage for sustainable revenue and profit growth in the years to come.

Conference Call

The Company will conduct a conference call to discuss its financial results today, January 29, 2026, at 8:00 a.m. (ET). The conference call will be webcast from the Investors section of the Company’s website at www.1800flowersinc.com. A recording of the call will be posted on the Investors section of the Company’s website within two hours of the call’s completion.

Definitions of non-GAAP Financial Measures:

We sometimes use financial measures derived from consolidated financial information, but not presented in our financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Certain of these are considered “non-GAAP financial measures” under the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission rules. Non-GAAP financial measures referred to in this document are either labeled as “non-GAAP,” “adjusted” or designated as such with a “1”. See below for definitions and the reasons why we use these non-GAAP financial measures. Where applicable, see the Selected Financial Information below for reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. Reconciliations for forward-looking figures would require unreasonable efforts at this time because of the uncertainty and variability of the nature and amount of certain components of various necessary GAAP components, including, for example, those related to compensation, tax items, amortization or others that may arise during the year, and the Company’s management believes such reconciliations would imply a degree of precision that would be confusing or misleading to investors. For the same reasons, the Company is unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information. The lack of such reconciling information should be considered when assessing the impact of such disclosures.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA:

We define EBITDA as net income (loss) before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA adjusted for the impact of stock-based compensation, Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation Plan (“NQDC”) investment appreciation/depreciation, and for certain items affecting period-to-period comparability. See Selected Financial Information for details on how EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA were calculated for each period presented. The Company presents EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA because it considers such information meaningful supplemental measures of its performance and believes such information is frequently used by the investment community in the evaluation of similarly situated companies. The Company uses EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as factors to determine the total amount of incentive compensation available to be awarded to executive officers and other employees. The Company’s credit agreement uses EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA-related items to determine its interest rate and to measure compliance with certain covenants. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are also used by the Company to evaluate and price potential acquisition candidates. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the Company’s results as reported under GAAP. Some of the limitations are: (a) EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, the Company’s working capital needs; (b) EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect the interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments, on the Company’s debts; and (c) although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized may have to be replaced in the future and EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements for such capital expenditures. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should only be used on a supplemental basis combined with GAAP results when evaluating the Company’s performance.

Segment Contribution Margin and Adjusted Segment Contribution Margin:

We define Segment Contribution Margin as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization, before the allocation of corporate overhead expenses. Adjusted Segment Contribution Margin is defined as Segment Contribution Margin adjusted for certain items affecting period-to-period comparability. See Selected Financial Information for details on how Segment Contribution Margin and Adjusted Segment Contribution Margin were calculated for each period presented. When viewed together with our GAAP results, we believe Segment Contribution Margin and Adjusted Segment Contribution Margin provide management and users of the financial statements meaningful information about the performance of our business segments. Segment Contribution Margin and Adjusted Segment Contribution Margin are used in addition to and in conjunction with results presented in accordance with GAAP and should not be relied upon to the exclusion of GAAP financial measures. The material limitation associated with the use of Segment Contribution Margin and Adjusted Segment Contribution Margin is that they are an incomplete measure of profitability as they do not include all operating expenses or non-operating income and expenses. Management compensates for this limitation when using these measures by looking at other GAAP measures, such as Operating Income and Net Income.

Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted or Comparable Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share:

We define Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted or Comparable Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share as Net Income (Loss) and Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share adjusted for certain items affecting period-to-period comparability. See Selected Financial Information below for details on how Adjusted Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share and Adjusted or Comparable Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share were calculated for each period presented. We believe that Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted or Comparable Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share are meaningful measures because they increase the comparability of period-to-period results. Since these are not measures of performance calculated in accordance with GAAP, they should not be considered in isolation of, or as a substitute for, GAAP Net Income (Loss) and Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share, as indicators of operating performance and they may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies.

Free Cash Flow:

We define Free Cash Flow as net cash provided by (used in) operating activities less capital expenditures. The Company considers Free Cash Flow to be a liquidity measure that provides useful information to management and investors about the amount of cash generated by the business after the purchases of fixed assets, which can then be used to, among other things, invest in the Company’s business, make strategic acquisitions, strengthen the balance sheet, and repurchase stock or retire debt. Free Cash Flow is a liquidity measure that is frequently used by the investment community in the evaluation of similarly situated companies. Since Free Cash Flow is not a measure of performance calculated in accordance with GAAP, it should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the Company’s results as reported under GAAP. A limitation of the utility of Free Cash Flow as a measure of financial performance is that it does not represent the total increase or decrease in the Company’s cash balance for the period.

Netflix Faces Pivotal Earnings Report as $72 Billion Warner Bros. Bid Looms

Posted on by slightbourne@noblecapitalmarkets.com

Netflix is set to report fourth quarter earnings Tuesday afternoon amid one of the most consequential moments in the streaming giant’s history—a high-stakes bidding war for Warner Bros. Discovery that could fundamentally reshape the entertainment landscape.

Wall Street expects Netflix to post revenue of $11.96 billion for the quarter, up from $10.25 billion in the same period last year. Adjusted earnings per share are projected at $0.55, in line with company guidance. For the full fiscal year, analysts anticipate revenue of $45.1 billion alongside adjusted earnings of $2.52 per share. First quarter revenue is expected to reach $10.54 billion with adjusted earnings of $0.66 per share.

However, subscriber growth and content spending metrics may take a backseat to the elephant in the room: Netflix’s amended all-cash offer of $27.75 per share for Warner Bros. Discovery, valuing the deal at $72 billion in equity. The revised proposal comes as Netflix faces stiff competition from Paramount Skydance, which has offered $30 per share, or $108 billion, for the entire company including cable and news assets. Netflix’s bid specifically targets Warner Bros.’ film and streaming properties, excluding the Discovery Global assets.

The acquisition represents a dramatic strategic shift for Netflix, which has historically relied on organic growth and original content production rather than major acquisitions. Manhattan Venture Partners’ head of research Santosh Rao emphasized that as the industry leader, Netflix must maintain its competitive advantage, particularly as its growth rate shows signs of slowing.

The market has responded skeptically to the acquisition plans. Netflix shares have tumbled nearly 27% over the past six months, declining steadily since the company announced its Warner Bros. pursuit in late 2025. Investors appear concerned about the financial burden and integration challenges of such a massive acquisition, particularly as streaming competition intensifies and subscriber growth moderates.

While Netflix no longer discloses subscriber figures, Wall Street estimates total streaming memberships now exceed 325 million—representing approximately 8% year-over-year growth. That’s a significant slowdown from the 16% growth rate posted in the fourth quarter of 2023 and 13% growth between 2022 and 2023. The deceleration underscores why Netflix may be pursuing inorganic growth through acquisition rather than relying solely on its traditional playbook.

CFRA analyst Kenneth Leon has cautioned that the acquisition uncertainty could weigh on the stock for 18 to 24 months, with outcomes remaining unclear. He noted that Netflix would likely need to sell assets to manage the debt load from such a substantial transaction. The concern is valid—a $72 billion all-cash deal would substantially increase Netflix’s leverage and potentially constrain its ability to invest aggressively in content, the very fuel that powered its dominance.

Warner Bros. Discovery’s board has unanimously endorsed the Netflix offer, with leadership highlighting that the all-cash structure provides greater certainty for shareholders while allowing them to participate in the strategic value of the remaining Discovery Global assets. Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos has expressed strong confidence that the proposed combination would benefit all stakeholders, from investors to content creators.

Despite near-term headwinds, some analysts maintain a constructive long-term view. Rao acknowledged legitimate concerns about the immediate impact but argued that the acquisition would ultimately strengthen Netflix’s content library, production capabilities, and overall competitive position in an increasingly crowded streaming marketplace.

As Netflix reports earnings, investors will scrutinize not just the quarterly numbers, but management’s commentary on the acquisition rationale, financing plans, and vision for integrating one of Hollywood’s most storied studios into the streaming era’s dominant platform. The results could provide critical insights into whether Netflix can successfully execute this transformative deal while maintaining the operational excellence that made it an industry leader.

Mortgage Rates Drop to Three-Year Low Following Trump’s $200 Billion Bond Purchase Plan

Posted on by slightbourne@noblecapitalmarkets.com

In a dramatic market shift that caught many economists off guard, mortgage rates have tumbled to their lowest point since September 2022, following President Trump’s bold announcement that government-sponsored enterprises Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac would purchase $200 billion in mortgage bonds.

The average 30-year fixed mortgage rate dropped to 6.06% this week, down from 6.16% the previous week, according to Freddie Mac data. The 15-year rate similarly declined to 5.38% from 5.46%, marking a significant milestone for prospective homebuyers and homeowners considering refinancing.

The president’s January 8th social media post declaring he was “instructing my Representatives to BUY $200 BILLION DOLLARS IN MORTGAGE BONDS” sent immediate ripples through financial markets. The announcement specifically targeted mortgage-backed securities, driving up demand for these bonds and subsequently pushing their yields downward—a direct pathway to lower consumer mortgage rates.

Market response was swift and substantial. The Mortgage Bankers Association reported a 16% surge in home purchase applications and a remarkable 40% jump in refinancing applications through the following Friday. These numbers suggest Americans are eager to capitalize on improved borrowing conditions after years of elevated rates that have kept many potential buyers sidelined.

“With mortgage rates much lower than a year ago and edging closer to 6 percent, MBA expects strong interest from homeowners seeking a refinance and would-be buyers stepping off the sidelines,” said Bob Broeksmit, president and CEO of the Mortgage Bankers Association.

However, industry experts are tempering expectations about a rapid housing market recovery. While lower rates provide relief, significant affordability challenges persist. Home prices remain elevated in many markets, and a substantial number of existing homeowners hold mortgages with rates far below current levels—creating what economists call the “lock-in effect” that discourages moving.

Hannah Jones, senior economic research analyst at Realtor.com, projects mortgage rates will hover in the low-6% range throughout 2026, potentially supporting “modestly improving home sales.” Yet she emphasizes that any recovery will likely be “gradual rather than rapid” given persistent affordability constraints.

The policy move represents an unconventional approach to economic stimulus, directly targeting housing market conditions through government-sponsored enterprise balance sheets. While the immediate effect on rates has been clear, longer-term implications for the housing market, federal housing finance policy, and the broader economy remain subjects of intense debate among economists and policy analysts.

For now, Americans looking to enter the housing market or refinance existing mortgages have a window of opportunity that hasn’t existed since rates began their historic climb in late 2022.

U.S. Inflation Cools in December as Core Prices Rise at Slowest Pace Since 2021

Posted on by slightbourne@noblecapitalmarkets.com

U.S. inflation showed further signs of cooling in December, offering fresh evidence that price pressures across the economy are continuing to moderate as the year comes to a close. According to the latest Consumer Price Index (CPI) report released Tuesday by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, core consumer prices rose at their slowest annual pace since March 2021, reinforcing expectations that the Federal Reserve will keep interest rates steady in the near term.

On a core basis—excluding the volatile food and energy categories—prices increased 0.2% from November and rose 2.6% compared with a year earlier. That annual reading matched November’s figure and marked the weakest pace of core inflation in nearly five years. Headline inflation, which includes all categories, rose 0.3% month over month and 2.7% year over year, in line with economists’ expectations.

While inflation remains above the Federal Reserve’s long-term 2% target, the steady downward trend over the past year has eased concerns that elevated prices could derail economic growth. Policymakers have increasingly signaled that inflation now poses less of a threat than a potential slowdown in the labor market, a view supported by recent economic data.

Economists pointed to signs that underlying inflation pressures are genuinely cooling. Stephen Brown, an economist at Capital Economics, noted that December’s softer core reading came despite some price rebounds following unusually weak data in October and November. This, he said, suggests that inflation momentum has meaningfully slowed rather than temporarily paused.

The CPI report follows last week’s December jobs data, which showed the unemployment rate pulling back from a four-year high. Together, the inflation and labor market reports have strengthened investor confidence that the Federal Reserve will leave interest rates unchanged at its January 27–28 policy meeting. Futures market data from CME Group now indicate a roughly 95% probability that rates will remain steady.

A closer look at the report revealed mixed price trends for households. Food inflation remained a notable pressure point, with food prices rising 0.7% in December, outpacing overall inflation. Five of the six major grocery store food categories posted monthly increases, including grains, dairy, fruits, and beverages. Only meat prices declined, slipping 0.2% during the month.

Offsetting some of those pressures were declines in several key core categories. Used car and truck prices fell 1.7% in December, while airline fares dropped 0.5%. Transportation services overall also declined by 0.5%, helping keep core inflation contained.

Energy prices provided additional relief. Gasoline prices plunged 5.3% in December amid falling oil prices, contributing to a 2% monthly decline in the energy index. These declines helped temper headline inflation despite higher food costs.

Nationwide chief economist Kathy Bostjancic described the report as “very encouraging,” adding that it supports expectations that lingering tariff-related pressures on goods prices will fade in 2026. As inflation continues to cool and economic growth remains resilient, markets and policymakers alike appear increasingly confident that the worst of the inflation surge is firmly in the past.

Refer to the full report for the price target, fundamental analysis, and rating.

4Q25. Preliminary total GAAP revenues for 4Q25 are expected to be approximately $207 million, a 6.8% decrease from $222 million in 4Q24 and below the $223 million consensus estimate. This decline was primarily driven by RA Sushi and Kona Grill closures as part of the portfolio optimization and the change in the Company’s fiscal year. The Grill closures are expected to reduce total GAAP revenues by approximately 2.4%, representing 35% of the expected total GAAP revenue decline.

Calendar Impacts. The fiscal calendar change to 4 equal quarters in 2025 created timing differences that impacted quarterly comparisons: 4Q25 had 91 days versus 92 days in 4Q24. Additionally, the New Year’s Eve holiday shifted from fiscal 2025 to fiscal 2026. The exclusion of New Year’s Eve in the current year impacted total GAAP revenues by approximately 2.5%, representing 37% of the expected total GAAP revenue decline. Fourth quarter comparable sales are expected to decrease by approximately 1.8%.
