Eli Lilly & Co. and Novo Nordisk A/S have reached a sweeping agreement with the Trump administration to cut the prices of their blockbuster obesity drugs in exchange for tariff relief and expanded Medicare access — a move poised to reshape both the weight-loss market and broader healthcare policy in the U.S.
Under the deal, the two pharmaceutical giants will lower prices on their popular medications, Zepbound and Wegovy, bringing the monthly cost for eligible Medicare and Medicaid patients with obesity and related conditions down to roughly $245, with co-pays for Medicare users capped near $50. Both companies will also offer discounted direct-purchase programs: Eli Lilly will sell Zepbound’s lowest dose for about $299 a month via its LillyDirect platform, while Novo Nordisk’s Wegovy will be available at $499 through NovoCare. That’s less than half their current U.S. list prices, which exceed $1,000 per month.
In return, the companies receive a three-year exemption from new import tariffs on pharmaceutical products and fast-track regulatory reviews for upcoming weight-loss pills, which could reach the market next year at introductory prices near $149 per month. Both Lilly and Novo have pledged to manufacture these new products in the U.S., aligning with the administration’s push to onshore critical drug production.
The timing of the announcement, coming just days after midterm election losses for the Republican Party, underscores the political weight behind lowering healthcare costs. The White House framed the move as part of a broader effort to ease cost-of-living pressures, a theme that has dominated recent public sentiment.
For the pharmaceutical industry, the agreement signals a new era of negotiation — one in which pricing concessions may secure favorable trade treatment and regulatory acceleration. Rival firms including Pfizer, AstraZeneca, and Germany’s Merck KGaA have reportedly pursued similar arrangements to avoid heavier restrictions or penalties.
The deal also reflects growing momentum toward allowing Medicare coverage for anti-obesity drugs — something long prohibited under federal law. Beginning next year, patients with qualifying health conditions such as prediabetes or heart failure will gain access to these treatments under government plans, marking a significant policy shift that could expand the addressable market for weight-loss medications to millions of new patients.
From an investment standpoint, the move could reverberate across healthcare and biotech stocks. Large-cap players like Lilly and Novo may face slimmer margins on price-controlled drugs but stand to gain from much higher volume and broader insurance access. Small-cap biotech firms developing next-generation metabolic or appetite-control treatments could benefit from renewed investor attention and potential partnership opportunities as major pharmaceutical companies look to diversify pipelines and defend market share.
While the announcement temporarily weighed on Lilly’s shares and lifted Novo’s, analysts expect the broader obesity-drug market to continue expanding rapidly — particularly if upcoming oral treatments deliver similar efficacy at lower costs. For investors, the balance between pricing pressure and explosive demand could define one of the most lucrative — and politically charged — healthcare themes heading into 2026.

Solid Q1 results. The company reported revenue of $292.3 million, up 12.3% from the prior year period and 2.2% above our estimate of $286.0 million. Notably, the strong revenue growth was largely driven by new location openings and acquisitions of water parks and family entertainment centers (FEC). Same store sales were flat compared to the prior year. Adj. EBITDA of $72.7 million was in line with our estimate of $72.5 million, despite the higher revenue, primarily due to increases in location operating costs and payroll and benefit costs, in part from recent acquisitions.
Improved revenue outlook. While the events business declined 11% y-o-y, management noted that trends have begun to improve, with October marking the strongest month for events year-to-date. Additionally, the company’s retail and league revenue, remained resilient, posting modest growth of 1.4% and 2.1%, respectively. Furthermore, the company should benefit in Q4 from its recent acquisitions of water parks and FECs.

3Q25 Results. Revenue of $580.1 million was up 18.1% y-o-y and exceeded our $550.6 million estimate. Adjusted EBITDA came in at $88.8 million, up 6.6% y-o-y and just below our $91.7 million estimate.

ICE. ICE revenue increased 54.6% y-o-y to $215.9 million. With law enforcement as an essential government service, the extended government shutdown is not impacting detention populations or revenues. CoreCivic began receiving ICE populations at the newly reopened California City and West Tennessee facilities late in the third quarter, with stabilized occupancy expected during 1Q26.

In October 2025 private-sector employment rose by 42,000 jobs, according to the ADP National Employment Report. This marks a rebound after two months of declines and comes amid higher attention on private-payroll data due to the ongoing U.S. government shutdown.
The gain was modest, particularly when compared with the stronger hiring earlier in the year. Gains were concentrated in certain service sectors, including trade/transportation/utilities (+47,000) and education/health services (+26,000). Other segments — notably professional/business services, information, and leisure/hospitality — posted job losses yet again, continuing a three-month run of contraction in those areas.
Pay growth held steady in October: for workers who stayed in the same job, median year-over-year pay rose 4.5%, while workers who changed jobs saw a 6.7% rise. The data indicate that wage pressures remain but are not accelerating rapidly.
With the federal government shutdown delaying or halting key official employment and economic data, private-payroll releases like ADP’s have taken on extra significance for markets and policymakers. In that light, the 42,000 job gain — while weak in the absolute sense — offers a cautious note of hope that hiring may be stabilizing rather than collapsing.
Still, the uneven nature of the rebound raises concerns. The fact that job growth is concentrated among large firms (those with 500+ employees added 73,000 jobs in October) while small and medium firms saw declines suggests that the labor market may be bifurcated — strong for the largest players, but soft for smaller employers.
From a policy perspective, the modest rebound and still-muted hiring raise questions about how aggressively the Federal Reserve should expect inflation and labor market pressures to ease. Wage growth remains elevated relative to the Fed’s longer-term goals, although it is not spiking.
For equity investors — and particularly small-cap and cyclical stock holders — this data is a mixed signal. On one hand, job growth returning is supportive of consumer demand and economic activity. On the other hand, the weakness in smaller firms and certain industries could weigh on earnings and lead to a more cautious stance toward growth stocks.
Fixed income markets may also interpret the steady wage growth and modest job gain as a reason for the Fed to maintain a cautious stance on rate cuts. If the Fed perceives stubbornness in labor costs, the timeline for further easing could shift.
The October ADP report signals stability rather than strength in the labor market. That may be enough to reduce fears of a sharp downturn, but not yet sufficient to suggest a robust rebound. Investors should keep their eyes on upcoming data (including the official jobs report when released) and pay particular attention to hiring across smaller firms and service-oriented industries.

Powered by Microsoft Azure OpenAI, new solution automates reportable event detection for Pharma & Life Sciences companies across every customer channel
FLORHAM PARK, N.J. — Conduent Incorporated (Nasdaq: CNDT), a global technology-driven business solutions and services company, today announced the launch of a new GenAI-powered reportable event detection solution that dramatically improves the identification of events and empowers healthcare companies to uphold the highest standards of patient safety, both of which are critically important.
Built on Microsoft Azure OpenAI, Conduent’s reportable event detection solution enhances the speed, accuracy, and consistency to identify incidents that must be provided to the Food & Drug Administration (FDA) for compliance. These events include adverse reactions, product complaints, and usability issues that could arise across millions of customer interactions.
Why It Matters
Pharma and Life Science companies handle countless interactions with customers every day via emails, chats, voice calls, texts, faxes, and social and digital platforms, and within these interactions is vital information that potentially must be reported to the FDA.
Real-world examples of reportable events
A patient emailing about unexpected dizziness after taking a prescribed medication.
A caregiver calling to report a child’s rash after using a topical cream.
A customer texting that their insulin pen malfunctioned during use.
A chatbot conversation revealing confusion over dosage instructions.
A social media post describing a broken inhaler or packaging defect.
Setting New Standard for Compliance
Quality control to ensure the highest standards of quality, accuracy, and compliance are met is typically a manual process that can only randomly evaluate a small percentage of customer interactions. This new GenAI-powered solution can review nearly 100% of interactions across all channels, using GenAI to analyze language, context, and compliance rules to revolutionize the identification of reportable events.
“Patient assistance programs and medical information engagements are complex and data-rich, which is perfect for GenAI,” said Kimberly Marshall, Head of Commercial Solutions and Account Management at Conduent. “By combining AI with deep compliance expertise, we’re helping clients report faster, more accurately, and more consistently while saving time and money.”
This solution integrates GenAI with logical reasoning, AI-driven search, client-specific rules, training materials, and regulatory framework, backed by Conduent’s infrastructure, to automate the capture and classification of reportable events.
Key Benefits:
Enhanced Efficiency : Streamlines the process of identifying reportable events, saving time and reducing manual efforts.
Quality and Consistency: Understands the variability of consumer language to better identify potential reportable events and product quality complaints, and provides consistent, high-quality reporting.
Regulatory Compliance : Enables adherence to FDA regulations and other compliance standards, minimizing the risk of penalties. Life Science companies can use the data to enhance their marketing strategies, product packaging and user experiences while ensuring compliance with FDA regulations.
The Conduent reportable event detection tool is another collaboration where Conduent leverages Microsoft Azure OpenAI to drive quality, improve customer experience, and save cost.

Third Quarter 2025 Summary(1)(3)
Total reported sales of $1.6 billion, down 9% versus the prior year period on a reported basis.

Consolidated Results
Reported (GAAP) Results Total reported sales for the third quarter of 2025 were $1.6 billion, a 9% decrease compared to the same period last year, primarily reflecting lower sales in both the consumer and business-to-business (B2B) divisions. The decline in the consumer division, Office Depot, was mainly driven by 63 fewer stores in operation due to planned closures, as well as reduced retail and online consumer traffic. On a comparable store basis, sales declined 7%, representing an improvement over the 10% decrease in the prior year period. In the ODP Business Solutions Division, sales declined 6% year-over-year, primarily reflecting ongoing macroeconomic headwinds and softer enterprise customer spending. Veyer continued to deliver strong logistical support for both the ODP Business Solutions and Office Depot divisions despite lower internal sales volume, while also advancing its growth strategy by providing supply chain and procurement solutions to third-party customers and driving increases in external revenue.
The Company reported GAAP operating income of $34 million in the third quarter of 2025, down compared to $102 million in the prior year period. Operating results in the third quarter of 2025 included $4 million of charges primarily related to $8 million in transaction and integration expenses associated with the Merger (as defined below), $5 million in non-cash asset impairments of operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets associated with the Company’s retail store locations, $2 million related to the impairment of operating lease ROU assets associated with the Company’s supply chain facilities, and $1 million related to the impairment of fixed assets. These charges were partially offset by $12 million in restructuring income primarily associated with the Optimize for Growth restructuring plan. Net income from continuing operations was $23 million, or $0.72 per diluted share in the third quarter of 2025, down compared to net income from continuing operations of $68 million, or $2.04 per diluted share in the third quarter of 2024.
Adjusted (non-GAAP) Results(1) Adjusted results for the third quarter of 2025 exclude charges and credits totaling $4 million as described above and the associated tax impacts.
Third quarter 2025 adjusted EBITDA was $62 million, flat with the prior year period. This included adjusted depreciation and amortization of $24 million in both the third quarter of 2025 and 2024
Third quarter 2025 adjusted operating income was $38 million, down compared to $41 million in the third quarter of 2024
Third quarter 2025 adjusted net income from continuing operations was $36 million, or $1.14 per diluted share, compared to $24 million, or $0.71 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2024, an increase of 61% on a per share basis
Division Results
ODP Business Solutions Division Leading B2B distribution solutions provider serving small, medium and enterprise level companies with an annual trailing-twelve-month revenue of $3.4 billion.
Reported sales for the third quarter of 2025 were $862 million, a decrease of 6% year-over-year. This result reflects an improvement in revenue trends compared to the prior year period, despite ongoing macroeconomic challenges and continued softness in enterprise demand. Year-over-year revenue trends improved by about 200 basis points, driven by ODP Business Solutions’ success in onboarding new customers, executing targeted sales initiatives, and generating incremental growth in hospitality sector
Total adjacency category sales, including cleaning and breakroom, furniture, technology, and copy and print, were 45% of total ODP Business Solutions’ sales, representing an increase over the same period last year
Drove accelerated sales growth in Operating, Supplies & Equipment (OS&E) categories within the hospitality business and expanded presence in new markets helping drive increased demand for traditional product categories. Onboarded more than 600 new hotel properties as customers under the Company’s existing hospitality agreement. Made meaningful progress on potential new agreements with several leading hospitality management companies
Operating income was $14 million in the third quarter of 2025, down compared to $28 million in the same period last year on a reported basis
Office Depot Division Leading provider of retail consumer and small business products and services distributed via Office Depot and OfficeMax retail locations and eCommerce presence.
Reported sales were $749 million in the third quarter of 2025, down 13% year-over-year, reflecting an improvement over prior year trends. Sales were impacted by 63 fewer retail locations due to planned store closures, lower demand in certain product categories, and reduced online sales. Comparable store sales declined 7%, an improvement versus the 10% decrease in the prior year period, as targeted, profitable sales strategies gained traction. The Company closed 12 retail stores during the quarter, ending with 822 retail locations
Store and online traffic were lower year-over-year due to macroeconomic factors. However, targeted sales promotions resulted in higher average order volumes and sales per shopper, which supported top-line results and margins
Operating income was $31 million in the third quarter of 2025, compared to $23 million during the same period last year on a reported basis. As a percentage of sales, operating income was 4%, increase of 140 basis points from the same period last year
Veyer Division Nationwide supply chain, distribution, procurement and global sourcing operation supporting Office Depot and ODP Business Solutions, as well as third-party customers. Veyer’s assets and capabilities include 7 million square feet of infrastructure through a network of distribution centers, cross-docks, and other facilities throughout the United States; a global sourcing presence in Asia; and business next-day delivery capabilities to 98.5% of U.S. population.
In the third quarter of 2025, Veyer provided support for its internal customers, ODP Business Solutions and Office Depot, as well as its third-party customers, generating reported sales of $1.1 billion
Reported operating income was $12 million in the third quarter of 2025, compared to $9 million in the prior year period
In the third quarter of 2025, sales generated from third-party customers increased by 64% compared to the same period last year, resulting in sales of $23 million. EBITDA generated from third-party customers was $7 million in the quarter
Balance Sheet and Cash Flow
As of September 27, 2025, ODP had total available liquidity of $730 million, consisting of $182 million in cash and cash equivalents and $548 million of available credit under the Fourth Amended Credit Agreement. Total debt was $148 million.
For the third quarter of 2025, cash provided by operating activities of continuing operations increased to $90 million, which included $10 million in restructuring spend, compared to $81 million in the third quarter of the prior year, which included $10 million in restructuring spend. The year-over-year increase in operating cash flow is primarily related to operational discipline including strong cash conversion, as well as prudent working capital management helping to offset the impact of lower sales.
Capital expenditures were $12 million in the third quarter of 2025 versus $22 million in the prior year period, as the Company continued to prioritize capital investments towards B2B growth opportunities supporting its supply chain operations, distribution network, and digital capabilities. Adjusted Free Cash Flow(3) was $89 million in the third quarter of 2025, up compared to $68 million in the prior year period.
“Optimize for Growth” B2B Revenue Acceleration Plan
In the third quarter of 2025, the Company advanced its “Optimize for Growth” restructuring plan, an initiative aimed at reducing fixed-cost infrastructure while leveraging core strengths to accelerate growth in B2B market segments. This includes expansion into new enterprise verticals such as hospitality, healthcare, and other adjacent sectors.
As part of this plan in the third quarter of 2025, the Company recognized $13 million of restructuring income primarily related to a $17 million gain on disposal of an owned distribution facility. The Company closed 12 retail stores, 15 satellite locations and one distribution facility. In total, over the multi-year life of the plan, the Company expects to incur costs in the range of $185 million to $230 million, which we anticipate will generate approximately $380 million in EBITDA improvement and generate over $1.3 billion in total value.
Transaction Update
As previously announced on September 22, 2025, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to be acquired, via merger (the “Merger”), by an affiliate of Atlas Holdings. The Company’s Board of Directors has unanimously approved the Merger, which the Company continues to expect will be completed by the end of 2025. The Merger is subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory approvals and approval by the Company’s shareholders. In light of the pending Merger, the Company will not hold an earnings conference call or provide forward-looking guidance.

VIRGINIA CITY, Nev., November 05, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Comstock Inc. (NYSE: LODE) (“Comstock” and the “Company”) and Comstock Metals LLC (“Comstock Metals”), a leader in the responsible recycling of end-of-life solar panels with the only certified, north American, zero-landfill solution, announced today that it has received its notification of eligibility for a Written Determination Permit from the Nevada Division of Environmental Protection – Bureau of Sustainable Materials Management (NDEP-BSMM), subject to certain normal compliance conditions and public notice periods, for the processing of waste solar panels and photovoltaics for its industry-scale materials recovery facility located in Silver Springs, NV. This timely approval keeps our scale up plans for commissioning our first industry-scale facility in Silver Springs, NV, right on schedule.
Comstock Metals expects the receipt of a similar notification of approval for the Air Quality control permit in the next few weeks, also with the normal conditions and public notice period. These permits, once final, represent the complete scope of required regulatory approvals for commissioning the scale up of a facility designed for processing over 3 million panels per year from one, continuous production line, representing up to 100,000 tons per year of waste materials being processed. This facility integrates technologies for efficiently crushing, conditioning, extracting, and recycling metal concentrates from photovoltaics. The Company previously ordered all of the equipment and expects deliveries by year end, so that it can commence installation, testing, and commissioning of the industry-scale facility during the first quarter of 2026.
“We appreciate BSMM’s collaborative efforts in issuing this first solar panel recycling Written Determination permit and enabling the only Nevada-based, zero-landfill, end-of-life solar panel solution serving this broad region and keeping these critical materials out of our landfills,” said Dr. Fortunato Villamagna, President of Comstock Metals. “Our original expectations for the receipt of these permits were for the end of October, so these notifications keep us right on schedule. This is a true testament to the strong working relationship we have with our regulators and the successful efforts of a complex process.”
Most of the U.S. solar panels have been deployed in the southwestern U.S., primarily California, Arizona, and Nevada, with decommissioning of these solar panels occurring now, accelerating supply and increasing the demand for environmentally responsible end-of-life solutions. Comstock has positioned itself to ensure the safe deconstruction and productive reuse of these important materials. Establishing our platform in Nevada establishes the leading solar recycling position over more than half the U.S. market for end-of-life panels and establishes a platform for rapid expansion across the rest of the United States.
“We are receiving waste panels continuously into our facility and very much look forward to commencing our commissioning activities. We are receiving more and more customer inquiries as waste panels are becoming rapidly available from many different sources, directly enabling and supporting our ramp up efforts” stated Dr. Villamagna.
“We have quickly established a leadership position in this readily available, and rapidly growing photovoltaic market,” stated Corrado De Gasperis, Comstock’s Executive Chairman and CEO. “Our metals team is already assessing additional sites for our industry scale solution and an expanded storage capability, as we look to capitalize and expand our lead in this rapidly growing end-of-life solar dilemma. Comstock Metals is the leading zero-landfill, end-of-life solution for these wasted solar panels.”
