Graphic Packaging Holding Co reported weaker-than-expected fourth-quarter and full-year 2025 results and issued conservative FY2026 guidance, triggering analyst downgrades and a slide in its shares in early February 2026. On Feb. 3 the company posted Q4 net sales of $2.10 billion and adjusted EBITDA of $311 million; adjusted EPS was $0.29, below consensus. Management set 2026 guidance of $0.75–1.15 EPS and adjusted EBITDA of $1.05–1.25 billion, with revenue of $8.4–8.6 billion and projected free cash flow of $700–800 million. New CEO Robbert Rietbroek announced a comprehensive operational review and a transformation office focused on inventory reduction (about $260 million targeted in 2026), cost discipline and lower capex (roughly $450 million planned for 2026). The company said Waco mill costs rose to about $1.67 billion, contributing to higher 2025 capex of $935 million and net leverage of roughly 3.8x. Analysts including Wells Fargo and Truist cut price targets (to about $11 and $14 respectively) on Feb. 4. Institutional holders remain large — institutional ownership reported near 99.7% — even as the stock hit 52‑week lows following the update.

Neil Green, executive vice president at Otis Worldwide Corp, sold 6,000 shares of the elevator and escalator maker on Feb. 2, 2026, at an average price of $86.45, for proceeds of about $518,700, according to an SEC filing disclosed this week. After the transaction Green held 3,773 shares, a reduction of roughly 61.4% of his prior stake. The sale comes days after Otis reported fourth-quarter results on Jan. 28 showing EPS of $1.03 in line with estimates and revenue of $3.80 billion, a 3.3% year-on-year rise but short of the $3.88 billion consensus. The company declared a quarterly dividend of $0.42 (ex-dividend Feb. 13, payable Mar. 13), implying about a 1.9% yield. Otis’s shares trade on the NYSE with a market capitalization near $34 billion, a price-earnings ratio around 25 and a 52-week range of roughly $84 to $106.83. Analysts’ consensus rating remains around “hold” with an average target near $101.44, and institutional investors own a large portion of the stock.

Multiple institutional investors disclosed sizeable reductions in holdings of Garmin Ltd (GRMN) in filings and market reports published Feb. 3–4, 2026. Zurcher Kantonalbank exited a position of 97,005 shares, Peterson Wealth Services sold 17,761 shares leaving 226, TD Waterhouse Canada sold 1,900 shares and reported a remaining holding of 231 shares, and BankPlus Trust reduced its stake by 502 shares to 6,751.

GRMN traded around $200 with a 52-week range of $169.26–$261.69 and a market cap near $38–39 billion.

Netflix Inc. shares fell to 52-week lows in early February as a wave of insider and institutional selling coincided with heightened deal and regulatory uncertainty. Director Reed Hastings sold 390,970 shares on Feb. 2 for about $32.7 million, part of nearly 967,530 insider shares disclosed as sold over the past 90 days. Several funds trimmed Netflix positions in the recent quarter: TD Waterhouse Canada cut its stake by 239,510 shares (down 44.2%), Zurcher Kantonalbank sold 181,043 shares, BankPlus Trust reduced holdings by 3,830 shares and various smaller managers (including Davidson Investment Advisors and Leisure Capital) also pared exposure. The stock traded around $80–$83, down roughly 3.4% on Feb. 3, after Netflix reported Q4 EPS of $0.56 and revenue of $12.05 billion. Market commentary flagged growing ad revenue (about $1.5bn) and ongoing takeover chatter — including regulatory scrutiny of a potential Warner Bros. deal — as factors amplifying near-term volatility.

Multiple institutional investors adjusted holdings in TKO Group Holdings Inc. (NYSE: TKO) in filings published early February 2026, underscoring active repositioning ahead of the company’s upcoming results. Optimize Financial reported a new 3rd‑quarter position of 7,640 shares (~$1.54m), AGF Management opened a 65,335‑share stake (~$13.2m), while Principal Financial cut its position by 57.2%—selling 533,303 shares and remaining with 399,373 shares valued at about $80.66m. Zurcher Kantonalbank sold 3,375 shares, leaving 18,703. Separately, insider sales have been heavy: Director Nick Khan sold 37,425 shares on Jan. 5, Mark Shapiro disposed of large blocks in January, and CFO Shane Kapral sold 616 shares on Feb. 2; aggregate insider disposals in recent months total roughly 167,000 shares. TKO’s shares were trading around $200–$204, with a market cap near $39bn, P/E about 77–78, a quarterly dividend of $0.78 (ex‑dividend Dec. 15) and a dividend payout ratio cited at ~119.5%. The company reported $0.47 EPS and $1.12bn revenue for the latest quarter, with revenue down about 27.3% year‑on‑year; analysts’ consensus remains a “moderate buy.”

J&J Snack Foods Corp. reported fiscal Q1 2026 results showing mixed operating trends and fresh shareholder returns. The Pennsauken, New Jersey-based maker of pretzels, frozen novelties and beverages posted adjusted EPS of $0.33 and adjusted EBITDA of $27 million, roughly in line with expectations, while revenue fell 5.2% year‑over‑year to $343.78 million versus consensus near $366 million. Gross margin expanded about 200 basis points to 27.9%, driven by Project Apollo plant consolidations and product‑mix improvements, but the company recorded roughly $6.1 million in non‑recurring plant‑closure costs and a $1 million product‑disposal charge that materially compressed GAAP results (reported EPS on a GAAP basis fell to $0.05). Management completed about $42 million of repurchases in the quarter and on Feb. 3 authorised an additional $50 million buyback (up to ~2.8% of shares). The firm maintained a $0.80 quarterly dividend (annualised $3.20) and reported roughly $67 million cash with no long‑term debt. Shares hit a 52‑week low early in the week before trading up after the results; market cap is roughly $1.5 billion and analyst ratings remain mixed.

Cantor Fitzgerald on Feb. 4, 2026 reiterated an "overweight" rating on JFrog Ltd (NASDAQ: FROG), maintaining a $80.00 price target that implies roughly 55% upside from recent trading levels around $51.40–$51.55. The July–February analyst coverage has broadly trended positive: multiple brokers including Truist, Morgan Stanley, Needham and KeyBanc have issued buy/overweight views and raised targets in recent months, while consensus pricing data shows average targets in the mid-$60s to low-$70s. JFrog reported revenue growth of 25.5% year-on-year in its most recent quarter and set FY2025 guidance of $0.78–0.80 EPS; the company has a market capitalisation near $6.1 billion. Market filings show notable insider sales late last year (including CTO and CRO transactions) and institutional owners hold the majority of shares. JFrog provides an end-to-end DevOps platform with significant revenue exposure to Israel and operations in the United States, India and other regions. The reiteration and consistent analyst upgrades come as the stock trades below recent 12-month highs and amid mixed sentiment from a minority of sell/hold ratings.

Aurora Cannabis Inc. reported fiscal third-quarter 2026 results on Feb. 4, 2026 for the period ended Dec. 31, 2025, highlighting a strategic pivot to higher-margin global medical cannabis. Total net revenue rose 7% year-over-year to C$94.2 million, with global medical revenue setting a record at C$76.2 million (up 12%). Consolidated adjusted gross margin improved 100 basis points to 62%; medical margins were 69%. Adjusted EBITDA was C$18.5 million and adjusted net income C$7.2 million. The company generated positive free cash flow of C$15.5 million and held C$154.4 million in cash and short-term investments, reporting no cannabis-business debt. Management said it will exit select lower-margin Canadian consumer markets, sell its controlling stake in plant-propagation business Bevo (to be treated as discontinued operations), and expects some one-time Q4 costs tied to those actions. Aurora also filed a prospectus supplement to establish an at-the-market (ATM) equity program to issue up to US$100 million of common shares to fund cultivation capacity, GMP expansion and potential M&A. Near-term headwinds include a 48% drop in consumer cannabis revenue and a sharp decline in plant propagation margins to 16% (including inventory write-offs).

The company recently declared a $0.08 quarterly dividend (record date Feb. 17, payable Mar. 3), announced a $1 billion senior notes offering and board changes including Steve Raymund as chair. Jabil reported strong Q4 revenue ($8.3bn) and EPS ($2.85) in December; analysts’ average 12-month target sits near $264, implying upside from current levels. The company’s market cap is about $26bn with a P/E around the high 30s.

Capri Holdings (CPRI) reported fiscal Q3 results on Feb. 3-4, 2026 that modestly beat expectations and materially reshaped its balance sheet following the sale of Versace. Revenue for the quarter was $1.025 billion, down about 4% year-on-year, while non-GAAP EPS rose roughly 30% to $0.81, topping consensus by a few cents. Management said improved full-price sell-through and lower promotional activity boosted underlying margins, offset by higher tariff costs. Proceeds from the Versace sale (reported at about $1.4–1.5 billion) were used to cut net debt from roughly $1.6 billion to about $80 million. Capri provided FY26 guidance of $1.30–$1.40 EPS and roughly $3.45–$3.5 billion in revenue, and signaled priorities to reinvest in Michael Kors and Jimmy Choo, renovate stores and enhance digital capabilities, with a previously authorized $1 billion buyback program expected to begin in fiscal 2027. The earnings period coincided with wide analyst activity Feb. 3–4: Barclays raised its price target to $32 (overweight), Robert W. Baird upgraded to outperform ($26), while Goldman Sachs and Wells Fargo trimmed targets to $24 and $21 respectively; Telsey held at $23.

Galaxy Digital reported mixed Q4 and full-year 2025 results on Feb. 3-4, 2026, prompting a flurry of analyst revisions and share volatility. The company posted quarterly adjusted EPS of -$1.08, modestly beating a consensus -$1.24, while revenue fell to about $10.4 billion and trading volumes weakened. For the full year, Galaxy disclosed a GAAP net loss of $241 million but a record adjusted gross profit of $505 million and adjusted EBITDA of $34 million. Balance-sheet highlights include roughly $2.6 billion in cash and stablecoins, over $3 billion in equity capital and total assets near $11.3 billion. Galaxy’s data‑center business has 1.6 GW of approved power capacity, with initial data halls expected to begin generating cash by end-Q1 2026; full buildout timelines extend into 2028–29. Analysts reacted unevenly: Morgan Stanley kept an overweight rating but cut its target to $36, Goldman Sachs trimmed its target to $24 and maintained neutral, while BTIG, Canaccord and Citizens/JMP held higher targets ($50–$60). Shares slid across U.S. and Canadian listings following the results and guidance uncertainty.

Stanley Black & Decker on Feb. 4 reported mixed fourth-quarter and full‑year 2025 results, beating EPS expectations but showing revenue weakness and cautious 2026 guidance. Q4 net sales were $3.7 billion, down about 1% year‑on‑year with a 7% volume decline, while adjusted Q4 gross margin expanded to 33.3%. Full‑year net sales were $15.1 billion, adjusted gross margin 30.7% and adjusted EPS $4.67. The company generated strong cash flow (Q4 free cash flow $883 million; full‑year free cash flow roughly $688–700 million) and completed a global cost‑reduction program capturing $2.1 billion in run‑rate pretax savings. Management announced a definitive agreement to sell its aerospace fasteners (CAM) business for about $1.8 billion gross (net proceeds ~$1.5–1.6 billion) to materially reduce debt and target net leverage ≤2.5x. Stanley Black & Decker set FY‑2026 EPS guidance of $4.90–$5.70 (below Street) and expects top‑line volatility into Q1 due to tariff timing, volume deleverage and a transition to a licensing model for some outdoor products that will reduce reported revenue in 2026.

Payroll processor ADP reported on Feb. 4 that U.S. private-sector employers added just 22,000 jobs in January, roughly half the Dow Jones consensus of about 45,000 and below December’s revised gain of 37,000. Job growth was heavily concentrated in education and health services, which added an estimated 74,000 positions; by contrast professional and business services shed 57,000 jobs and manufacturing fell by 8,000. Medium-sized firms (50–499 employees) accounted for most net gains while large employers cut about 18,000 roles. ADP’s release also showed annual pay for job-stayers up 4.5% and pay for job-changers slowing to 6.4%. The report incorporated an annual benchmarking to QCEW through March 2025, lowering ADP’s historical job tallies. The Bureau of Labor Statistics has delayed the official January nonfarm payrolls release to Feb. 11 and moved the January CPI to Feb. 13 after a brief partial government shutdown, leaving markets to scrutinize private data for near-term signals.

Smurfit Westrock plc on Feb. 3–4 announced a quarterly dividend increase to $0.4523 per share (annualised $1.81) with an ex-dividend and record date of Feb. 17 and payment on March 18, 2026. The move lifted investor sentiment and shares rose roughly 6–8% in intraday trading on Feb. 4, trading in the low $40s (intraday highs reported around $43.7–$44.18). Analysts retain a broadly positive stance — MarketBeat and GuruFocus cite a consensus “moderate buy”/outperform view with an average target near $51.60 (GuruFocus average ~ $52.16) — even as some firms trimmed targets. Institutional ownership is high (about 83% reported) and filings show active position changes by funds including Federated Hermes and Zurcher Kantonalbank. The company is due to report Q4 2025 results and a medium-term investor update on Feb. 11, and summaries note a recent $1.3 billion senior note issuance that will affect its balance sheet. Key financial ratios cited include a current ratio ~1.48 and reported debt-to-equity around 0.72–0.77.

Keurig Dr Pepper (NASDAQ: KDP) said on Feb. 3-4, 2026 its board declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.23 per share, payable April 10 to shareholders of record on March 27 (ex‑dividend date March 27). The payout equates to $0.92 annualized and a yield of roughly 3.2–3.3% based on recent prices. The announcements came amid trading around $28 and a market capitalisation near $38 billion, with a 52‑week range of $25.03–$36.12. At the same time, several institutional investors trimmed KDP positions: Zurcher Kantonalbank sold 51,347 shares (a 7.58% reduction), leaving 626,108 shares valued at about $17.5 million per its 13F filing, and Truist Financial disclosed it sold 94,295 shares, cutting its holding to 207,798 shares (a 31.2% decrease).

Retail-focused initiatives (event contracts and micro products) showed early traction, with some 68 million event contracts traded in six weeks. Management flagged elevated volatility, fee and margin changes across metals and grains, legal uncertainty around prediction markets, and tokenized-collateral risks as operating challenges.

Zurn Elkay Water Solutions Corp (NYSE: ZWS) reported robust fourth-quarter and full-year 2025 results, driven by core sales growth and margin expansion. Q4 net sales were $407.2 million, up 10% core year‑over‑year; adjusted EBITDA for the quarter was $104.1 million (25.6% margin). For full-year 2025, net sales were $1.696 billion (+8% core), adjusted EBITDA was $442 million (26.1% margin) and record free cash flow was $317 million. The company returned capital with $160 million in share repurchases and $64 million in dividends, cutting net debt leverage to 0.4x.

The release noted segment softness in some residential and commercial end markets and flagged risks from metal prices, tariffs and inflation. The stock traded to a 52‑week high on the results.

Devon Energy and Coterra Energy announced an all‑stock merger this week to create a combined shale producer with an enterprise value of about $58 billion, the companies said on Feb. 2–3, 2026.

Devon CEO Clay Gaspar will remain chief executive; Coterra CEO Tom Jorden will become non‑executive chairman. Management forecasts roughly $1 billion of annual synergies by end‑2027 from capital and operating efficiencies and corporate cost cuts. The announcement prompted broad analyst upward revisions: Barclays upgraded DVN to Overweight with a $50 target on Feb. 4, while Susquehanna, Scotiabank and Wolfe Research also raised targets in early February. Shares traded higher, hitting a 52‑week intraday high on Feb. 4 amid heavy call‑option activity (about 36,923 calls traded). Institutional filings show some portfolio moves around the deal — including Zurcher Kantonalbank’s exit of a 405,540‑share position — and shareholder‑rights firms have opened probes over deal fairness.
