BATTLEFIELD 6 OFFICIAL MULTIPLAYER GAMEPLAY TRAILER
The year is 2027. The world is on the edge of chaos. After a high-profile assassination shocks the world, major European countries have left NATO, while the US and its allies grapple with the fallout. A massive private military corporation unafraid to cross lines, with deep pockets and the latest tech, looks to fill the power vacuum. This army is PAX ARMATA. What's left of NATO is in tatters, wounded and battered. This is the world of Battlefield 6.
Battlefield 6 introduces a host of new features, including the all-new Kinesthetic Combat System, which brings enhancements to movement and gunplay. This gives players an unprecedented level of mobility, offering new tactical options such as Drag and Revive to pull teammates out of danger and back from the brink, and mounting weapons on walls to reduce recoil.
The iconic class system returns better than ever, with Assault, Recon, Support, and Engineer, empowering players to define their role on the battlefield. The four roles have been enhanced, designed to empower players to push their team towards victory, each with class-specific gadgets, signature weapons and dedicated training. Destruction also returns, but enhanced to offer an unparalleled level of freedom, letting players transform the combat zone, to create new paths, flank enemies and dominate the battle.
Battlefield 6 will launch with a robust package of multiplayer modes and maps, taking the fight around the world from Egypt, to Gibraltar and the streets of New York. Each map features multiple combat zones, hand-crafted and tailored to suit specific modes, ensuring each fight is designed to compliment the player experience and provide a variety of play options. Fan favorite multiplayer modes return in Battlefield 6, with classic staples making an appearance, including Conquest, Breakthrough, and Rush. Players will also experience a host of fast-paced and intense first-person shooter staples, including Team Deathmatch, Squad Deathmatch, Domination and King of the Hill. While a brand new mode called Escalation sees two teams fight to capture strategic control points.
'We knew when we set out to create the future of Battlefield, we had to nail the fundamentals of what players have loved about the series for more than 20 years,' said Byron Beede, Senior Vice President & General Manager of Battlefield. 'We're back in our all-out warfare playground, with four world-class teams developing the game as a single squad known as Battlefield Studios. Criterion, DICE, Motive, and Ripple Effect have put their heart and soul into this next Battlefield and we're thrilled to have shared our first look with you today and can't wait to see you playing next weekend during the Open Beta.'
Battlefield 6 also launches with an all-new and improved iteration of Portal – the creative toolset that lets you redraw the lines of war. Portal is more powerful and streamlined than ever before, giving players brand new tools to create completely unique content called Community Experiences. Ambitious post-launch support will continue to add more modes, maps, weapons, and other features to the game on a consistent basis.
'I've worked on a lot of titles over the years and can confidently say that Battlefield 6 is something special,' said Vince Zampella, Executive Vice President. 'We can't wait to show more of Battlefield 6 's intense tactical combat and epic warfare in the months to come, leading up to its release on October 10."
Battlefield' s biggest Open Beta ever goes LIVE for two weekends from August 9 through August 10 and from August 14 through 17. Fans will have the chance to join the Open Beta two days early on August 7, by watching some of their favorite streamers play the game.

Blue Owl Tech (OTF) Q2 Income Beats 8%
Key Points Adjusted net investment income per share was $0.36 for Q2 2025, exceeding expectations by 8.05%. The investment portfolio reached $12.7 billion as of June 30, 2025, up from $6.2 billion a year earlier following the OTF II merger. Dividend payout increased, with a new regular $0.35 per share dividend and the first of five $0.05 per share special dividends announced for Q3 2025. These 10 stocks could mint the next wave of millionaires › Blue Owl Technology Finance (NYSE:OTF), a major player in lending to technology companies, delivered its second quarter 2025 results on August 6, 2025. Adjusted net investment income per share was $0.36. Surpassing analyst estimates of $0.33 (non-GAAP). Total revenue (GAAP) was $319.5 million, just under the $319.6 million forecast. The period saw sharply higher investment activity and expansion of the loan book. Though adjusted profits fell year over year. Overall, the quarter demonstrated robust portfolio growth and strong credit quality, set against some margin compression and increased expenses linked to the recent OTF II merger. Metric Q2 2025 Q2 2025 Estimate Q2 2024 Y/Y Change EPS (Adjusted Net Investment Income per Share, Non-GAAP) $0.36 $0.33 $0.46 (21.7%) Revenue (Total Investment Income, GAAP) $319.5 million $319.61 million $174.2 million 83.5% Net Asset Value per Share $17.17 $16.74 2.6% Total Investments at Fair Value $12.7 billion $6.2 billion 104.7% Net Investment Income $0.34 $0.49 -30.6% Source: Analyst estimates for the quarter provided by FactSet. About Blue Owl Technology Finance and Its Business Model Blue Owl Technology Finance (NYSE:OTF) specializes in providing loans and structured investments to technology companies, with a focus on those in the software and enterprise IT sectors. The company operates as a business development company (BDC), which requires at least 70% of its assets to be in qualifying assets as defined by the 1940 Act, and intends to invest at least 80% of its assets in technology-related companies. This enables it to tap into the rapid expansion and recurring revenues seen in modern enterprise software and healthcare tech. Recent business focus has centered on expanding its technology-related loans while managing risk through diversified lending and conservative credit policies. The company's strategy includes using leverage—borrowing capital to multiply investment returns—and leveraging its external management team for deal sourcing and risk management. Success depends on its sector focus, effective cost control, and prudent capital deployment. Key Developments in the Quarter The period marked a critical milestone for Blue Owl Technology Finance as it completed its merger with Blue Owl Technology Finance II. This action increased the portfolio's investments to $12.7 billion at fair value as of June 30, 2025, a 106.8% rise from a year earlier. The number of portfolio companies expanded to 184, now diversified across 37 industries. Technology remains central to its investments, with significant portions in systems software and healthcare technology. New investment commitments surged to $1.47 billion, more than doubling from $820 million in the prior quarter and up from $1.11 billion a year ago. The average investment commitment also grew, rising to $84.3 million from $49.2 million a year earlier. The credit quality of the portfolio remained strong, with investments on non-accrual—meaning loans not currently paying interest—continuing to be less than 0.1% of the portfolio by fair value. This points to very few troubled loans relative to the total, which is notable given the rapid scaling of the loan book and the technology sector's typical risk. On the expense front, total operating costs (GAAP) jumped to $159.0 million from $82.1 million in the prior quarter. The increase stemmed mainly from the larger portfolio after the merger and higher interest and management fees. Net debt-to-equity stood at 0.58x, higher than the prior quarter but still conservative versus management's target leverage range. Liquidity remained healthy, with $170.5 million in cash and $3.3 billion in untapped credit. The company's lending remains anchored in first-lien senior secured loans—these are loans with the highest claim on collateral if a borrower defaults, making up 78.0% of fair value. Floating rate loans, whose yields adjust with interest rates, made up 97.3% of debt investments. Management announced a regular dividend of $0.35 per share and the first of five planned $0.05 per share special dividends for Q3 2025. Together, these bring the annualized dividend yield, based on net asset value as of June 30, 2025, to 9.3%. The company continues to pay regular quarterly dividends and has added a series of special payments to reflect additional distributable income. Looking Ahead: Outlook and Investor Considerations Blue Owl Technology Finance did not provide specific financial guidance for the upcoming quarter or fiscal 2025. Leadership highlighted a strong investment pipeline, ongoing stable credit conditions, and plans to maintain both regular and special dividends as previously announced. Investors may want to focus on the interplay between portfolio yields, expenses, and the deployment of leverage in coming quarters. Expense growth is outpacing revenue quarter-over-quarter, reflecting both merger-related costs and new deal activity. Margin compression—the reduction in earnings per dollar invested—remains an area to watch amid rising competition in the technology lending marketplace. The board recently declared a total dividend of $0.40 per share, continuing its trend of special distribution payments for Q3 2025. Revenue and net income presented using U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) unless otherwise noted.

After all, Stock Advisor's total average return is 1,026%* — a market-crushing outperformance compared to 180% for the S&P 500.

Silvaco (SVCO) Q2 Revenue Drops 19%
Key Points GAAP revenue dropped 19% year-over-year to $12.05 million in Q2 2025, GAAP revenue missed estimates by 15.3%. Non-GAAP earnings per share fell to $(0.16). Shift in business mix: TCAD segment GAAP revenue declined 34% year-over-year. while EDA and SIP segments grew, signaling a transition for the company. These 10 stocks could mint the next wave of millionaires › Silvaco Group (NASDAQ:SVCO), a provider of design software and Silicon Intellectual Property (SIP) for semiconductor companies, released its Q2 2025 results on August 6, 2025. The company reported GAAP revenue of $12.05 million, missing analyst estimates by $2.18 million (GAAP). Non-GAAP earnings per share came in at $(0.16). These results reflect both a sharper-than-anticipated drop in the core Technology Computer-Aided Design (TCAD) segment, with TCAD revenue down 34% year-over-year, and continued investment in new areas, with meaningful execution risk but also clear signs of progress in customer wins and technology integration. Source: Analyst estimates provided by FactSet. Management expectations based on management's guidance, as provided in Q1 2025 earnings report. Business Overview and Recent Focus Silvaco Group's business centers on providing advanced software tools and silicon intellectual property components for semiconductor design and manufacturing. Its core offerings include technology computer-aided design (TCAD) software, used to simulate manufacturing processes, and electronic design automation (EDA) software, which helps automate chip and system-level design. The company also provides silicon intellectual property (SIP), which are reusable design blocks licensed to semiconductor makers. The company has recently pursued growth by expanding its suite of EDA tools and SIP libraries, integrating machine learning and artificial intelligence into its solutions. A critical area of focus is diversifying its business mix, both geographically and across product lines. Key success factors include technological innovation, cultivating strategic partnerships, growing its presence in high-growth verticals like automotive and photonics, and prudent cost and margin management while sustaining investment in product development. Details of the Quarter: Financial and Operational Developments The results underscored a challenging period, with GAAP revenue dropping 19% year-over-year. The miss versus consensus was driven largely by a steep decline in TCAD revenue (GAAP), which fell 34% year-over-year to $6.8 million (GAAP) and now accounts for just 56% of GAAP revenue, down from 69% in Q2 2024. The EDA segment, which provides software for chip design automation, saw GAAP revenue rise 15% year-over-year to $3.4 million and now makes up 29% of the total. The SIP segment grew 11% year-over-year to $1.8 million, representing 15% of total revenue (GAAP). Regionally, there was a significant pivot toward the Asia-Pacific, with this geography delivering 57% of revenue compared to 41% in Q2 2024. The Americas revenue share fell to 36% from 51%, and EMEA (Europe, Middle East, and Africa) accounted for 7% of revenue. About 14% of revenue came from new customer 'logos,' with an additional 6% from customers added in the previous two quarters, showing traction in landing new accounts. However, Gross bookings fell sharply, down 34% year-over-year, highlighting volatility as the company integrates new acquisitions and waits for delayed orders to close. Gross margin on a non-GAAP basis declined to 76%, a 10 percentage point drop from the prior year. The company reported a GAAP net loss of $9.4 million, an improvement from a $38.4 million GAAP net loss in Q2 2024, when results included a litigation settlement. However, on a non-GAAP basis, the company reported a net loss of $4.6 million, compared to a GAAP net profit in Q1 2024. The company cited several operational milestones, including the launch of new EDA and SIP products and securing 10 new major customers across photonics, automotive, military, foundry, and power verticals—critical end markets for semiconductor suppliers. About 40% of revenue came from customer renewals; 40% from expansion among existing customers, indicating the company's 'land and expand' strategy is gaining some traction. A major acquisition, Mixel Group, Inc, closed just after the quarter, increasing the serviceable addressable market by $110 million and bringing the year-to-date total to $710 million added via acquisitions. This effort supports the company's plan to further diversify its revenue base and target design segments with higher growth potential. Looking Forward: Guidance and Investor Considerations For Q3 2025, management guided for revenue in a range of $14.0 to $18.0 million, projecting a minimum of 28% year-over-year growth. The target for non-GAAP gross margin is 81–85%, still trailing historical highs. Non-GAAP net income (or loss) per diluted share is expected to land between $(0.12) and $0.02. Bookings are also expected to rebound, with a $14.0–$18.2 million range, up at least 42% from the prior year's quarter. For FY2025, Silvaco projects revenue of $64.0 to $70.0 million and a non-GAAP net income (or loss) per share between $(0.07) and $0.03, significantly lower than the previous year's net income.
