Trump Signals Massive Semiconductor Tariffs as U.S. Expands Trade Duties

Posted on August 15, 2025August 15, 2025 by slightbourne@noblecapitalmarkets.com

President Trump is preparing to roll out a new round of tariffs on semiconductor imports, signaling a sharp escalation in the United States’ trade strategy. The upcoming duties could reach levels as high as 300%, representing a major shift in the administration’s approach to key technology sectors. These tariffs are expected to be announced over the next couple of weeks and will likely have wide-ranging implications for the semiconductor industry and the broader economy.

This move continues a broader trend of imposing trade barriers across multiple sectors. Pharmaceutical imports are also expected to face similar duties in the near future, marking a significant expansion of tariffs beyond metals, machinery, and consumer goods. Economists anticipate that as these duties take hold, their effects will become more visible in economic indicators such as inflation and producer costs.

Early signs of tariff impact are already appearing in economic data. The wholesale price index showed a sharp rise in July, the fastest in roughly three years, suggesting that costs are increasingly being passed through to businesses. While the broader consumer inflation data has not yet reflected the full impact of previous tariffs, analysts expect that upcoming reports will more clearly show the consequences of higher import duties.

Despite concerns over inflation and trade disruptions, U.S. stock markets have so far remained resilient. Major indexes reached record highs recently, reflecting investor confidence and adaptation to the ongoing tariff environment. Revenue generated from existing tariffs has been substantial, though a portion of this revenue is indirectly borne by consumers through higher prices. The effect on corporate margins and consumer purchasing power is expected to intensify if new semiconductor and pharmaceutical duties are implemented at the highest proposed rates.

On the international front, trade negotiations continue to play a key role. An extension of the tariff truce with China has delayed further talks until November, temporarily easing tensions between the two largest economies. Current U.S. tariffs on Chinese imports average over 50%, creating a backdrop for the upcoming discussions with Canada, Mexico, and other trade partners. Reciprocal tariffs imposed on a range of countries earlier this month signal that Washington is aiming for a broader realignment of trade terms across multiple fronts.

Legal challenges to the tariffs remain unresolved. Multiple cases are currently pending in U.S. federal courts, including one high-profile appeal that could determine the legality of the administration’s tariff authority. A court ruling in either direction could significantly influence the trajectory of trade policy and investor sentiment.

As the U.S. government prepares to expand tariffs on semiconductors and pharmaceuticals, businesses and consumers alike are watching closely. The scale of the proposed duties represents one of the most aggressive trade actions in recent years, with potential ripple effects on global supply chains, technology production, and pricing. Economists, market analysts, and policymakers will be monitoring upcoming economic reports and legal developments to gauge how these tariffs will reshape the U.S. economy.

Release – Bit Digital, Inc. Announces Second Quarter of Fiscal Year 2025 Financial Results

Posted on August 15, 2025August 15, 2025 by aweinsoff@channelchek.com

Research News and Market Data on BTBT

NEW YORK, August 14, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Bit Digital, Inc. (Nasdaq: BTBT) (the “Company”), publicly traded digital asset platform focused on Ethereum-native treasury and staking strategies headquartered in New York City, today announced its financial results for the Second Quarter of 2025. The Company will host a conference call on August 15, 2025, at 10:00 AM ET to discuss results (click here for registration information).

WhiteFiber IPO and Retained Stake
In August 2025, Bit Digital completed the initial public offering of its high-performance computing subsidiary, WhiteFiber, Inc. The results reported in this release include WhiteFiber’s contributions for the full second quarter on a consolidated basis.

As of August 13, 2025, Bit Digital held 27,043,749 shares of WhiteFiber, representing approximately 74.3% of the company. Based on WhiteFiber’s closing price of $17.32 per share on that date, the Company’s retained stake was valued at approximately $468.4 million. Following the IPO, Bit Digital will continue to consolidate WhiteFiber’s results in its financial statements, with public ownership reflected as non-controlling interest, unless and until the Company’s ownership or control falls below the threshold required for consolidation under U.S. GAAP.

Financial Highlights for the Second Quarter of 2025

Total revenue for the second quarter of 2025 was $25.7 million; an 11.7% decrease compared to $29.0 million in the second quarter of 2024. The decline was primarily driven by a decrease in digital asset mining revenue as the Company focused on Ethereum-native treasury and staking strategies, which was partially offset by growth across other segments.
Revenue from digital asset mining was $6.6 million, a 58.8% decrease compared to $16.1 million in the prior year’s quarter. The decline was driven by increased network difficulty, the halving event in April 2024, and a reduction in active hash rate.
Revenue from cloud services was $16.6 million, a 32.8% increase compared to $12.5 million in the prior year’s quarter.
Revenue from colocation services was $1.7 million, compared to none in the prior-year quarter as the business was launched in late 2024.
Revenue from ETH staking was $0.4 million, a 2.3% decrease compared to $0.4 million in the second quarter of 2024. An increase in staking rewards was offset by a lower realized ETH price during the quarter.
Net income for the second quarter of 2025 was $14.9 million, or $0.07 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $12.0 million, or $(0.09) per diluted share, in the prior-year quarter.
Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter of 2025 was $27.8 million, compared to $(3.8) million in the second quarter of 2024. Second quarter 2025 adjusted EBITDA includes a $27.2 million gain on digital assets.
Cash and cash equivalents totaled $181.2 million as of June 30, 2025, compared to $95.2 million as of December 31, 2024.
Total digital assets were $91.2 million as of June 30, 2025, compared to $161.4 million as of December 31, 2024. Subsequent to quarter-end, the Company liquidated substantially all BTC and used the proceeds to acquire ETH.

Ethereum Treasury Strategy
During the second quarter, Bit Digital initiated a strategic transition to become a pure-play Ethereum treasury and staking company. The Company intends to allocate the majority of its capital to ETH accumulation and staking yield generation, positioning itself as a leading public ETH vehicle.

The Company’s ETH position[1] has grown materially as a result of this initiative:

June 30, 2025: 30,663 ETH held.
July 7, 2025: 100,603 ETH held.
August 11, 2025: 121,076 ETH held, valued at approximately $511.5 million as of that date, following additional purchases funded by the Company’s June and July 2025 equity offerings to support the ETH treasury strategy.

In the second quarter, Bit Digital earned approximately 166.8 ETH in staking rewards. As of June 30, approximately 21,568 ETH were actively staked, generating an annualized effective yield of approximately 3.1% for the quarter. As of August 11, 2025, Bit Digital had 105,015 ETH actively staked.

Bitcoin Mining Update
In June 2025, the Company announced plans to sunset its bitcoin mining operations as part of its transition to an Ethereum-focused strategy. The process is expected to result in the sale of mining assets or the orderly closure of operations as hosting contracts expire or equipment becomes unprofitable.

During the second quarter, the Company earned 68.2 BTC, compared to 83.3 BTC in the prior quarter, reflecting both network difficulty, curtailments, and the ongoing fleet redeployed following the exit from a hosting partners facility. As of June 30, 2025, the Company’s active hash rate was approximately 1.2 EH/s], with a fleet efficiency of approximately 25 J/Th. The Company expects active hash rate to increase with the deployment of 3,575 previously purchased S21 mining units, of which 2,130 have been deployed since June 30, 2025. Bitcoin mined on an ongoing basis is used for settlement of related expenses and conversions into ETH.

Management Commentary
“This quarter marked the beginning of Bit Digital’s transformation into a dedicated Ethereum treasury and staking platform,” said Sam Tabar, CEO of Bit Digital. “In June, we formally launched our ETH strategy and have already scaled our holdings significantly, reaching 121,076 ETH as of August 11, 2025. Our objective is to build one of the largest on-chain ETH balance sheets in the public markets and to generate attractive staking yields for shareholders. This isn’t a trend we’re chasing — we’ve held ETH since 2021 and have deep conviction in its long-term value.”

“We intend to opportunistically and cost-effectively scale our ETH position using a disciplined capital allocation framework. This includes deploying proceeds from operations and leveraging various capital markets tools where appropriate to maximize returns while maintaining prudent risk management. We are valuation-sensitive and focused on growing long-term value per share, not simply scaling for the sake of it.”

“At the same time, we are methodically winding down our bitcoin mining operations and redeploying capital into ETH. The recently completed WhiteFiber IPO unlocked substantial value for shareholders, and our retained stake gives us additional financial strength as we pursue this new direction. “It also provides strategic flexibility that could be monetized over time to further support our ETH strategy in a non-dilutive way. With a growing ETH treasury and a strong balance sheet, we believe we are well-positioned to deliver sustainable, ETH-based returns over the long term.”

Footnotes
[1] Includes approximately 6,062 ETH and ETH-equivalents held in an externally managed fund as of June 30, 2025, and 6,085 ETH and ETH-equivalents as of July 31, 2025.

Q2 Results. The company reported Q2 revenue of $1.3 million and an adj. EBITDA loss of $0.3 million, as illustrated in Figure #1 Q2 results. Importantly, while revenue was 22.3% lower than our estimate of $1.7 million, the adj. EBITDA loss of $0.3 million was largely in line with our expectations of a loss of $0.35 million. Furthermore, the on target adj. EBITDA figure was driven by the company’s strategic cost reduction and business transformation efforts, as well as the Lori Goldstein divestiture.

Favorable outlook. While the company is approaching the back half of the year with caution, largely driven by potential tariff impacts, we believe it stands to benefit from a number of favorable developments. Notably, the company is launching its Longaberger brand in Q3 on QVC and announced an accelerated timeline for its new influencer brands. Additionally, the company stands to benefit from its Halston brand as royalties kick in.

Friday, August 15, 2025

Robert LeBoyer, Senior Vice President, Equity Research Analyst, Biotechnology, Noble Capital Markets, Inc.

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

Actions Taken To Correct Manufacturing Findings. Unicycive reported a 2Q25 loss of $6.4 million or $(0.52) per share, with cash on June 30, 2025 of $22.3 million. Based on our current estimates, we believe this is sufficient to fund operations through 2H25. On June 30, the company received a CRL (Complete Response Letter) following an FDA inspection that found deficiencies at a contract manufacturer’s facility. The findings stopped the labeling discussions required for completion of the NDA review. The company has shifted to one of its other manufacturers, and filed a request for a meeting with the FDA.

A Request For A Type A Meeting Was Filed. Following the receipt of the CRL, Unicycive filed a request for a Type A meeting with the FDA. This type of meeting is held to discuss the issues that led to the CRL and how to correct them. These meetings are usually scheduled within 30 days of the request. After meeting is held the company will receive the meeting minutes with requirements for resubmission of the NDA application. Unicycive expects to announce an updated plan for OCL development during 3Q25.

Euroseas (ESEA) – Second Quarter Financial Results Exceed Expectations; Increasing Estimates

Posted on August 15, 2025August 15, 2025 by slightbourne@noblecapitalmarkets.com

Friday, August 15, 2025

Euroseas Ltd. was formed on May 5, 2005 under the laws of the Republic of the Marshall Islands to consolidate the ship owning interests of the Pittas family of Athens, Greece, which has been in the shipping business over the past 140 years. Euroseas trades on the NASDAQ Capital Market under the ticker ESEA. Euroseas operates in the container shipping market. Euroseas’ operations are managed by Eurobulk Ltd., an ISO 9001:2008 and ISO 14001:2004 certified affiliated ship management company, which is responsible for the day-to-day commercial and technical management and operations of the vessels. Euroseas employs its vessels on spot and period charters and through pool arrangements.

Mark Reichman, Managing Director, Equity Research Analyst, Natural Resources, Noble Capital Markets, Inc.

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

Second quarter financial results. Total net revenues for the second quartertotaled $57.2 million, a 2.5% decrease year-over-year, but slightly higher than our estimate of $56.7 million. Adjusted EBITDA and EPS were $39.3 million and $4.20, respectively, above our estimates of $38.5 million and $3.87. The better-than-expected results were due to higher time charter equivalent (TCE) rates of $29,420 per day compared to our estimate of $28,502 per day, along with modestly lower-than-expected operating expenses of $23.9 million compared to our estimate of $24.7 million.

Market outlook. TCE rates for feeder vessels increased 8% in the second quarter due to limited vessel availability and robust demand. While the global containership orderbook remains high, the feeder and intermediate segments have a much smaller pipeline of just 4 to 8%, offering some insulation from the potential negative impact of an oversupplied market. Ongoing Red Sea conflicts have further supported rates by prompting Suez Canal re-routings and increasing distance. Although U.S. trade policies cloud visibility, we expect TCE rates to remain strong through year-end 2025 and into 2026.

Solid Q2 results. Q2 revenue of $754 million aligned with our estimate, while adj. EBITDA of $37 million exceeded our forecast of $33 million. All three segments delivered sequential, new business, Annual Contract Value (ACV ) growth, a key forward indicator. This sales momentum supports our view that Conduent is on track to return to top-line growth in 2026.

Big Beautiful Bill may present upside. We view the recently passed “Big Beautiful Bill” as a potential tailwind for Conduent’s Government segment. The legislation tightens eligibility enforcement for public benefits, which may drive increased demand for outsourced eligibility verification and fraud detection, which are core capabilities for the company.

Strong September Corporate Bond Issuance Expected Despite Rate Cut Uncertainty

Posted on August 15, 2025August 15, 2025 by slightbourne@noblecapitalmarkets.com

The U.S. corporate bond market is gearing up for a strong September, with investment-grade issuance expected to remain one of the highest of the year. Market strategists and bankers anticipate that companies will proceed with large volumes of bond sales despite a shift in expectations for Federal Reserve interest rate cuts.

Historically, September has been one of the busiest months for investment-grade corporate bond activity, averaging around $140 billion in new deals. Last year set a record, surpassing $172 billion, as companies took advantage of robust investor demand for higher-yielding assets. This year’s issuance is projected to be similarly active, driven primarily by corporate financing needs rather than short-term changes in interest rate forecasts.

Recent economic data has tempered expectations for a substantial Fed rate cut in the near term. Producer price growth accelerated, while consumer price increases aligned with forecasts, suggesting inflation remains stubborn. As a result, markets now anticipate smaller or delayed rate adjustments compared to earlier projections.

Despite the evolving interest rate outlook, corporate treasurers are unlikely to postpone planned September bond offerings. Issuance decisions are typically based on long-term funding strategies and capital requirements, not on the immediate direction of monetary policy. Analysts note that minor movements in yields or credit spreads rarely deter companies from moving forward during this historically active month.

Corporate credit spreads—the additional yield investors demand over U.S. Treasuries—have experienced only modest changes in recent weeks. On average, spreads tightened by about one basis point, leaving them close to multi-decade lows. Bond yields remain below January levels, maintaining favorable financing conditions for issuers.

Industry experts expect that the two weeks leading up to Labor Day will be relatively quiet, as is common, but issuance is likely to accelerate sharply in September. With annual investment-grade supply in the U.S. often approaching $1.5 trillion, market participants anticipate continued heavy calendars in late summer and early fall.

The upcoming wave of bond sales will also be influenced by broader market dynamics, including investor appetite for corporate debt and the ongoing search for yield in a still-uncertain interest rate environment. Many institutional investors view investment-grade corporate bonds as an attractive balance between risk and return, especially when economic data signals resilience in corporate earnings and credit quality.

Overall, the combination of strong historical precedent, stable credit conditions, and ongoing financing needs suggests that September will remain a peak month for U.S. corporate bond issuance. Whether or not the Fed adjusts rates in the near term, companies are expected to press forward, ensuring the corporate bond market stays active as the year heads into its final quarter.

InPlay Oil Corp. Announces Second Quarter 2025 Financial and Operating Results and Provides Operations Update

Posted on August 14, 2025August 14, 2025 by aweinsoff@channelchek.com

Research News and Market Data on IPOOF

Aug 14, 2025, 07:30 ET

CALGARY, AB, Aug. 13, 2025 /CNW/ – InPlay Oil Corp. (TSX: IPO) (OTCQX: IPOOF) (“InPlay” or the “Company“) announces its financial and operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 which is our first quarter following the April 7, 2025 closing date of the strategic acquisition of Cardium focused light oil assets in the Pembina area of Alberta (the “Acquisition“). InPlay’s condensed unaudited interim financial statements and notes, as well as its Management’s Discussion and Analysis (“MD&A”) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 will be available at “www.sedarplus.ca” and on our website at “www.inplayoil.com“. An updated corporate presentation is available on our website.

We are excited about InPlay’s future following the highly accretive acquisition completed in the second quarter. This transformative transaction has significantly enhanced the Company’s scale, market capitalization, and long-term sustainability. With a longer reserve life and an expanded inventory of high quality drilling locations, the combined Company is well positioned to generate strong free adjusted funds flow (“FAFF”)⁽³⁾ for many years to come.

InPlay is off to a very strong start with second quarter production exceeding expectations by approximately 1,000 boe/d. This outperformance was driven by base production performing above expectations and seven (7.0 net) wells brought onstream in March significantly outperforming our type curves by ~135% on average based on the first 120 days of initial production (“IP”). Notably, three wells brought onstream in March ranked among the top ten Cardium producers in April with two of them holding the number one and two spots in April and May, and ranking second and third in June. These wells achieved payout in under 90 days in a US$60 WTI pricing environment. As a result of this outperformance, current production based on field estimates remains at 19,400 boe/d even though no new wells have been brought on since March. We now expect 2025 average production to be at the upper end of our guidance range. In addition, strong capital efficiencies are expected to result in capital spending landing in the lower half of our previously announced capital budget of $53 – $60 million. The Company continues to prioritize free cash flow generation to be used for debt reduction and the continued return of capital to shareholders through our monthly dividend.

Another exciting development is the recent announcement that Delek Group Ltd. (“Delek”) has become a 32.7% strategically aligned shareholder of InPlay. Delek brings a proven track record of value creation in the energy sector. They hold a 45% working interest in the largest natural gas field in the Mediterranean, with an estimated 23 TCF of recoverable natural gas. Additionally, Delek has been instrumental in the growth of Ithaca Energy plc, where they hold a 52% equity stake and have overseen production growth from 30,000 boe/d to over 120,000 boe/d since 2019.

For the remainder of 2025, InPlay plans to drill 5.0 – 5.5 net Cardium wells in Pembina. InPlay’s second half drilling campaign recently commenced in August, with the spudding of a three well pad which are in close proximity to the Company’s top producing Cardium wells and are expected to be on production near the beginning of October. The application of InPlay’s drilling and completion techniques to the acquired assets is expected to drive continued strong performance from new wells with additional capital directed to facility upgrades, optimization and required infrastructure projects.

InPlay will continue to be disciplined and timely in capital spending in the current commodity price environment, maintaining a focus on strong FAFF, debt reduction, per share growth and continuation of our return to shareholder strategy. To further enhance stability and mitigate risk, the Company has secured commodity hedges extending through 2025 and into 2026. InPlay has hedged over 70% of natural gas production and approximately 60% of light crude oil production for the second half of 2025.

Second Quarter 2025 Highlights

Successfully closed the strategic acquisition of Cardium focused light oil assets at highly accretive metrics, enhancing FAFF by 65% on a per share basis, expanding our drilling inventory to over 400 locations, lowering our corporate base decline rate to 24% and strengthening dividend sustainability (2025 forecasted FAFF equal to 2.5 times base dividend).
Achieved average quarterly production of 20,401 boe/d⁽¹⁾ (62% light crude oil and NGLs), a 125% increase from Q1 2025, including a 13% increase to light crude oil and liquids weighting to 62% from 55% and a 35% increase in light oil weighting to 51% from 38% in the first quarter of 2025 with oil being the main driver behind our netbacks.
Generated strong quarterly Adjusted Funds Flow (“AFF”)⁽²⁾ of $40.1 million ($1.49 per basic share⁽³⁾).
Achieved significant FAFF of $35.5 million ($1.32 per basic share⁽³⁾) allowing the Company to reduce net debt by approximately $26 million, more than originally forecasted, resulting in a quarterly annualized net debt to earnings before interest, taxes and depreciation (“EBITDA”)⁽³⁾ ratio of 1.2 times.
Realized operating income of $50.5 million⁽³⁾, an increase of 140% compared to Q1 2025 leading to a strong operating income profit margin⁽³⁾ of 55%, up from 54% in Q1 2025.
Improved field operating netbacks⁽³⁾ to $27.20/boe, a 6% increase compared to Q1 2025 despite an 11% decrease to WTI pricing (13% decrease to realized crude oil pricing) and a 22% decrease in AECO natural gas pricing compared to Q1 2025.
Returned $7.9 million to shareholders via monthly dividends, representing a 10% yield relative to the current share price. Since November 2022, InPlay has distributed $52 million in dividends (including dividends declared to date in the third quarter).

Second Quarter 2025 Financial & Operations Overview:

InPlay’s second quarter results exceeded expectations and marked the first reporting period incorporating the recently acquired assets, with pro forma operations effective April 8, 2025. Due to the outstanding efforts of our team and InPlay’s strong knowledge and focus in the area, the acquired assets were seamlessly integrated with no disruption to the Company’s ongoing operations.

Quarterly production averaged 20,401 boe/d⁽¹⁾ (62% light crude oil and NGLs) which was approximately 1,000 boe/d above internal forecasts. Base production exceeded expectations, and the seven (7.0 net) wells drilled on the combined assets in the first quarter significantly outperformed internal forecasts by approximately 135% (based on IP 120) as highlighted in the table below.

Current	791	82 %	299	44 %	217	77 %
	>300% above type curve		>75% above type curve		>25% above type curve

InPlay generated AFF of $40.1 million ($1.49 per basic share) a 138% increase from the first quarter of 2025. Limited capital spending in the second quarter of $4.6 million, resulted in $35.5 million of FAFF ($1.32 per basic share), highlighting the strong FAFF generation of the combined Company. These strong results were achieved despite an 11% decrease to WTI pricing (13% decrease to realized crude oil pricing) and a 22% decrease in AECO natural gas pricing compared to Q1 2025. The Company paid $7.9 million ($12.0 million in the first half of 2025) in dividends during the quarter.

During the quarter InPlay generated a net loss of $3.2 million. After excluding one-time transaction costs and the impact of unrealized mark-to-market hedging gains/losses, InPlay generated adjusted net income⁽³⁾ of $2.0 million ($0.08 per basic share) in the quarter.

Strong results had net debt levels at the end of the quarter at $223 million, $5 million lower than originally anticipated. The quarterly annualized net debt to EBITDA ratio for the second quarter of 1.2x is evidence that our post-Acquisition accelerated debt reduction goals are well on track.

Operating synergies and stronger production allowed InPlay to maintain operating costs per boe in the second quarter in line with pre-acquisition levels and synergies have started to show a reduction in G&A cost per boe.

Selected financial and operational highlights should be read in conjunction with Hemisphere’s unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements and related notes, and the Management’s Discussion and Analysis for the three months ended June 30, 2025 which are available on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca and on Hemisphere’s website at www.hemisphereenergy.ca.

Quarterly Dividend

Hemisphere is pleased to announce that its Board of Directors has approved a quarterly base cash dividend of $0.025 per common share in accordance with the Company’s dividend policy. The dividend will be paid on September 12, 2025 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on August 29, 2025. The dividend is designated as an eligible dividend for income tax purposes.

Operations Update

With significant volatility in the economy and oil markets earlier this year, Hemisphere elected to defer the majority of its capital spending into the latter third of the year. With relatively flat base production, the Company has focused on balance sheet strength and shareholder returns through its share buyback program, base quarterly dividends, and the announcements of two special dividends year-to-date.

The Company’s drilling program is now scheduled to commence late in the third quarter. It will include several development wells in Atlee Buffalo in addition to at least one new well in Marsden, which will test a second oil-bearing zone on Hemisphere’s lands adjacent to its oil treating facilities and active polymer pilot project.

Management will continue to closely monitor oil market volatility and adjust capital spending accordingly. With almost $14 million in working capital, an undrawn credit line, and stable cash flow from its production base, Hemisphere is in a unique position to act on potential acquisition opportunities and continued shareholder returns in addition to executing its drilling program.

EnerCom Denver Conference

Ms. Ashley Ramsden-Wood, Chief Development Officer of Hemisphere, will be presenting at the EnerCom Denver Conference on Tuesday, August 19 at 2:45 pm Mountain Daylight Time (1:45 pm Pacific Daylight Time). The presentation will be livestreamed on EnerCom’s website at www.enercomdenver.com/webcast (Confluence C) and archived on Hemisphere’s website at www.hemisphereenergy.ca.
