  • Company has extended and converted $13.5 million in notes coming due with maturity out to 5 years until 2030.

Safety Standardization Mandatory Code / Insurance Specification and Recommendation:

  • SKYX’s Safety Code Standardization Team is receiving support from a new significant prominent leader with its government safety agency’s process for a safety mandatory standardization of its electrical ceiling outlet/receptacle technology.
  • SKYX’s code team is led by industry veterans Mark Earley, former head of the National Electrical Code (NEC), and Eric Jacobson, former President and CEO of the American Lighting Association (ALA). The Company’s safety Code Standardization team believes it will garner assistance from additional safety organizations with its code mandatory safety standardization efforts based on the product’s significant safety aspects. Mr. Earley and Mr. Jacobson were instrumental in numerous code and safety changes in both the electrical and lighting industries. Both strongly believe that, considering the Company’s standardization progress including its product specification approval voting for by ANSI / NEMA (American National Standardization Institute / National Electrical Manufacturers Association) and being voted into 10 segments in the NEC Code Book, it has met the necessary safety conditions for becoming a ceiling safety standardization requirement for homes and buildings.
  • With respect to insurance companies, the Company strongly believes its products can save insurance companies many billions of dollars annually by reducing fires, ladder falls, and electrocutions among other things. Management expects that once it completes an entire range and variations of its safe advanced plug & play products it will start being recommended by insurance companies.

Release – Conduent Collaborates with Alabama to Introduce Chip-Enabled SNAP Cards to Prevent EBT Fraud

Posted on by [email protected]

Research News and Market Data on CNDT

February 13, 2026

Government

Alabama becomes the first Conduent-supported state – and only the second state in the nation – to roll out chip-enabled EBT cards statewide

Chips allow beneficiaries to insert their cards into point-of-sale terminals, significantly enhancing the security of SNAP and TANF accounts

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. — Conduent Incorporated (Nasdaq: CNDT), a global technology-driven business solutions and services company, today announced its collaboration with the Alabama Department of Human Resources (DHR) to introduce chip-enabled EBT cards designed to help prevent fraud. The new cards, now mailed to EBT cardholders across the state, are expected to significantly enhance account security for beneficiaries, including those in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) and the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program.

Across the country, states have reported a sharp rise in fraud attempts targeting EBT cards, which traditionally rely on magnetic stripes and are vulnerable to skimming – where criminals install devices on point-of-sale terminals to steal card information. With chip technology, Alabama cardholders can now insert their cards into the terminals rather than swiping them, adding a critical layer of protection.

Following a pilot program launched in December, Alabama is the first Conduent-supported state – and only the second state nationwide – to introduce EBT cards to all cardholders. Additional states are preparing similar rollouts.

“I am so pleased to finally bring this instrumental change to our EBT cardholders statewide,” said Alabama DHR Commissioner Nancy Buckner. “After a successful pilot program, we have shown that these new cards are easy to use and offer much better protection for the benefits. I am pleased that with this chip technology upgrade, our clients can have more confidence that their benefits will be there when they purchase groceries. This is not the end; we will continue to work and develop new and innovative ways to better protect our clients and their benefits.”

“We are honored to help Alabama DHR lead the way in giving their beneficiaries this critically important tool to protect their accounts and funds,” said Anna Sever, President, Government Solutions at Conduent. “Transitioning to chip technology is a proven fraud-prevention strategy. Chip cards are widely used across the country for other types of accounts, and EBT payments deserve the same level of security.”

SNAP and TANF recipients in Alabama and several other states can also use Conduent’s ConnectEBT mobile app and cardholder portal, which allow beneficiaries to lock their accounts to block all purchases, providing greater control and helping prevent unauthorized transactions.

In addition, with Conduent’s support, Alabama DHR recently implemented a system enhancement that automatically defaults all EBT cards to block out-of-state and online transactions. Cardholders who wish to make these types of purchases can easily unlock their card through the ConnectEBT app or portal.

The technologies are part of Conduent’s VeriSight Anti-Fraud Suite, a set of innovative solutions that help agencies address fraud risks in public benefit programs. The suite includes adaptive fraud detection tools for EBT customer service centers that can identify and block suspicious activity, such as unusual phone numbers or high call volumes.

Conduent is a national leader in government payment disbursements, and it currently supports electronic payments for public programs in 37 states. Conduent also supports U.S. government agencies with end-to-end solutions for healthcare claims processing, eligibility and enrollment, and child support administration.

Harsha V. Agadi, Chief Executive Officer stated. “Q4 and full‑year 2025 reflected mixed execution for Conduent.

Performance Commentary
At the end of 2025, Conduent maintained a cash balance of $243 million along with $223 million unused capacity under its recently renewed credit facility.

Full year 2025 pre-tax income (loss) was $(160) million versus $504 million in the prior year. This decrease is primarily caused by the divestiture-driven gains in the prior year.

2025 Adjusted EBITDA of $164 million and Adjusted EBITDA margin of 5.4% increased versus the prior year and were in line with guidance showing continued momentum toward our target margin.

CEO Priorities

  • Increase speed and accountability: Accelerate decision making and operational excellence across a global enterprise that is focused on being client centric.
     
  • Enforce financial discipline: Drive all decisions through the lens of their impact to revenue growth, margin expansion, and free cash flow.
     
  • Reduce cost structure: Leaner organization with clear line of sight for business leaders. We will reduce layers and empower leaders with full P&L ownership.
     
  • Optimize the portfolio: Execute a fix, sell, or grow strategy to improve performance, reduce debt, and invest in growth.
     
  • Convert pipeline to growth: Improve pipeline execution to deliver consistent revenue growth.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We have reported our financial results in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (U.S. GAAP). In addition, we have discussed our financial results using non-GAAP measures. We believe these non-GAAP measures allow investors to better understand the trends in our business and to better understand and compare our results. Accordingly, we believe it is necessary to adjust several reported amounts, determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, to exclude the effects of certain items as well as their related tax effects. Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide an additional means of analyzing the results of the current period against the corresponding prior period. However, these non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as a substitute for, our reported results prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Our non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable U.S. GAAP measures and should be read only in conjunction with our Consolidated Financial Statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Our management regularly uses our non-GAAP financial measures internally to understand, manage and evaluate our business and make operating decisions. Providing such non-GAAP financial measures to investors allows for a further level of transparency as to how management reviews and evaluates our business results and trends. These non-GAAP measures are among the primary factors management uses in planning for and forecasting future periods. Compensation of our executives is based in part on the performance of our business based on certain of these non-GAAP measures. Refer to the “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” section attached to this release for a discussion of these non-GAAP measures and their reconciliation to the reported U.S. GAAP measures.

AI Shifts From Market Booster to Source of Volatility for Stocks

Posted on by [email protected]

Investors are discovering that artificial intelligence (AI) is no longer a guaranteed driver of stock market gains. What once lifted technology stocks across the board has increasingly become a source of volatility, forcing a reevaluation of valuations across multiple sectors.

The surge in AI enthusiasm contributed to a strong U.S. bull market, with gains in technology companies and firms tied to data center expansion. Many investors anticipated that 2026 would mark the point when AI-driven efficiency would translate into measurable bottom-line growth.

Recent developments, however, reveal that AI’s impact is more nuanced. Concerns over the disruptive potential of the technology are affecting sectors beyond software, including legal services, wealth management, and insurance. Questions about the scale and timing of AI capital spending are placing pressure on the share prices of major companies.

Early 2026 has already seen headline-driven market swings. The introduction of AI-powered tools by software startups triggered selling in established software stocks, contributing to a notable decline in the S&P 500 software and services index. Wealth management and insurance firms also experienced losses following the rollout of AI-enabled financial and comparison tools.

Even leading technology stocks have faced headwinds. Declines in stock prices reflect investor concern that high AI-related expenditures may not yield adequate returns. At the same time, some analysts see opportunity in these drops, as valuations for software and services have fallen to their lowest levels in nearly three years, suggesting potential value for patient investors.

The speed of AI adoption has made it challenging for companies to demonstrate the full impact of their investments on earnings. Investors are increasingly looking for firms with strong competitive advantages—economic “moats”—as a way to distinguish sustainable winners from overhyped names.

The AI trade lifted technology stocks for much of 2025, contributing to a third consecutive year of double-digit returns for the S&P 500. Entering 2026, optimism about corporate earnings—expected to rise more than 14%—and potential interest rate cuts provided additional support for equities. However, AI-driven volatility has highlighted the importance of selective stock picking, with a focus on avoiding companies vulnerable to significant setbacks.

In summary, while AI remains a powerful engine for growth, it is increasingly clear that its influence can cut both ways: creating opportunities for companies positioned to capitalize on the technology while introducing risk for those unprepared for rapid disruption. Investors navigating this landscape must balance optimism with caution, identifying firms that combine AI adoption with solid fundamentals to maximize potential returns.

Release – ISG Acquires AI Maturity Index Platform as Part of Broader AI Acceleration Strategy

Forms AI Acceleration Unit to help clients drive AI at scale

Plans launch of insights platform with AI-powered ‘intelligence advisor’

Ranks among top 8% of Nasdaq-listed info-tech companies (sub-$1B market cap), for 2025 share performance

STAMFORD, Conn.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Information Services Group (ISG) (Nasdaq: III), a global AI-centered technology research and advisory firm, said today it has acquired the AI Maturity Index, a SaaS platform that allows organizations to assess the AI readiness of their workforces and improve their employees’ ability to leverage AI technology.

The move comes as part of a broader AI acceleration strategy by ISG that includes the formation of an AI Acceleration Unit that brings an integrated, expert-led approach to helping clients rapidly scale AI, and the upcoming launch of a proprietary insights platform with an AI-powered “intelligence advisor” to give organizations real-time access to highly sought-after ISG data and analysis.

“ISG is moving with speed on AI,” said Michael P. Connors, chairman and CEO. “As an AI-centered technology research and advisory firm, we are committed to helping clients achieve maximum ROI from their AI investments with our unique blend of market insights, advice, ecosystem expertise and platform offerings. In this fast-paced, rapidly changing environment, clients need a trusted partner like ISG to help them cut through the AI noise and identify the best path forward to growth and value.”

AI Maturity Index Acquisition

ISG’s acquisition of the AI Maturity Index, developed and launched last year, is fundamental to its integrated AI approach. The ISG AI Maturity Index allows enterprises to assess, quantify and benchmark their employees’ readiness to adopt AI, while, importantly, prescribing a path forward to further improvement. The platform is the brainchild of co-founders Eryn Peters, a certified change management professional, founder of the Startup Consortium and editor of Weekly Workforce, and Iwo Szapar, a future-of-work evangelist and remote work infrastructure pioneer.

“The AI Maturity Index provides us with a high-impact, scalable entry point into every client’s AI journey,” said Connors. “Clients will benefit from the insights and actionable data provided by this platform, which also reinforces our core strengths in data-driven research and advisory.”

In its short time on the market, the AI Maturity Index has assessed more than 6,000 individual AI users and collected more than 400,000 data points—adoption that will expand exponentially as the platform gains broader use.

“The AI transformation market is surging, with investments outpacing organizations’ ability to broadly adopt and scale this game-changing technology,” said Peters, who will be product and strategy leader of the ISG AI Maturity Index as it is rolled out to ISG clients. “Research shows that 92 percent of companies are increasing their AI investment, but only 1 percent consider themselves AI-mature. Our AI maturity assessment platform allows companies to identify gaps in their workforce readiness and use a data-driven approach to achieve rapid improvement.”

AI Acceleration Unit

The new ISG AI Acceleration Unit, under the leadership of Chief AI Officer Steve Hall, will integrate expertise from across ISG to further enhance the firm’s AI advisory and research offerings for clients and turbocharge the firm’s AI growth. The unit will provide focused leadership to ensure all parts of the firm are working together to help clients determine their AI maturity and workforce readiness, set their AI strategy, develop and govern their provider ecosystem, and leverage change management to ensure maximum AI adoption and return on AI investment.

“Our new AI Acceleration Unit is comprised of an elite group of ISG leaders in the vanguard of developing and instituting our expert-led approach to AI adoption and value creation,” said Connors. “This unit is charged with delivering the full benefits of AI for our clients and our firm.”

New AI-Powered Insights Platform Planned

ISG also said it plans to launch a proprietary insights platform with an AI-powered “intelligence advisor” that will allow clients to access ISG’s rich trove of data and analysis on the broader technology market and the capabilities of specific technology and software providers. The launch of this new platform is slated for the first quarter of 2026, ISG said.

Nasdaq 2025 Ranking

According to Nasdaq, ISG ranks among the top 8 percent of listed information technology companies (under $1 billion in market capitalization) for 2025 share price performance. ISG shares appreciated 78 percent in value in 2025.

“ISG is pleased to be among the top performers in our sector for 2025, as ranked by Nasdaq,” said Connors. “We continue to work with our clients to reimagine how they can enhance their operations with technology and leverage AI, creating value for them—and for our shareholders.”
