Why BeautyHealth (SKIN) Stock Is Up Today
Shares of skincare company BeautyHealth (NASDAQ:SKIN) jumped 3.2% in the afternoon session after the release of a favorable Consumer Price Index (CPI) report, which showed inflation cooling more than anticipated. The July report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics indicated a year-over-year inflation rate of 2.7%, just below the 2.8% economists had forecast. This suggests that price pressures on consumers may be easing. Particularly beneficial for the sector was the news that the food index remained flat, with grocery prices even declining by 0.1% month-over-month. This development is seen as a positive for the profitability of food, beverage, and personal care companies, as lower input costs and increased consumer purchasing power could boost sales.
A Federal Reserve official's comments on the same day, noting that consumer spending fundamentals remain solid, further bolstered investor confidence in the sector's resilience.
After the initial pop the shares cooled down to $2.26, up 2.2% from previous close.

What Is The Market Telling Us
BeautyHealth's shares are extremely volatile and have had 73 moves greater than 5% over the last year. In that context, today's move indicates the market considers this news meaningful but not something that would fundamentally change its perception of the business.
The previous big move we wrote about was 4 days ago when the stock gained 20.6% on the news that the company reported second-quarter financial results that significantly beat analyst expectations on profitability and raised its full-year outlook. The company posted earnings per share of $0.03, decisively beating analyst estimates of a $0.05 loss, while revenue of $78.2 million also topped forecasts. Although total sales decreased by 13.7% compared to the previous year, investors were encouraged by a significant improvement in profitability, with adjusted EBITDA of $13.9 million significantly exceeding the consensus estimate of $3.59 million. The strong results were driven by a notable increase in gross profit margin, which expanded by 17.6 percentage points year on year. Bolstered by this performance, Beauty Health raised its full-year guidance for both net sales and adjusted EBITDA, signaling confidence in its ongoing strategy.
BeautyHealth is up 40.7% since the beginning of the year, and at $2.26 per share, it is trading close to its 52-week high of $2.28 from July 2025.

Siebert Reports Second Quarter 2025 Financial Results
MIAMI--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Siebert Financial Corp. (NASDAQ: SIEB) ('Siebert'), a diversified provider of financial services, today reported financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2025. Second Quarter 2025 Financial and Operational Highlights* Adjusted Revenue** was $21.7 million, compared to revenue of $20.9 million in the second quarter of 2024 Realized a $2.4 million year-to-date total gain from an investment in an equity security, which Siebert acquired in connection with a private placement from a private U.S. company. The transition from a $9.2 million unrealized gain in the first quarter of 2025 to a $6.8 million loss in the second quarter of 2025 impacted the results of the first and second quarter of 2025. Adjusted Operating Income** was $1.0 million, compared to operating income of $5.6 million in the second quarter of 2024, primarily due to the additional investment in new personnel related to technology initiatives and expansion into new business lines such as investment banking and servicing active trader customers. Stock borrow/stock loan revenue was $7.5 million, compared to $4.7 million in the second quarter of 2024, reflecting meaningful growth in this business line Second Quarter 2025 and Recent Business Highlights Added to the Russell 2000 Index, enhancing visibility with institutional investors Invested $2.0 million in IQvestment Holdings ('FusionIQ'), a cloud‑native digital wealth management platform Gebbia Media (a subsidiary of Siebert) acquired Big Machine Rock, expanding Siebert's presence in the music industry Launched Gebbia Media's Sports Division, providing holistic financial, tax, brand, wealth advisory services and financial literacy to elite athletes Introduced 'Tactical Wealth' podcast through Gebbia Media, featuring military and veteran financial success stories, strengthening the bond with the military and veteran community.

Gebbia, Chairman and CEO of Siebert. 'While our financial results for the quarter were impacted by the quarterly loss on our equity investment following the IPO of the underlying company, we generated a total gain of $2.4 million on this investment year‑to‑date. We remain focused on executing our growth strategy, enhancing client experiences, and positioning Siebert to capitalize on opportunities in emerging markets and digital finance.' Andrew Reich, CFO of Siebert, added: 'The timing of the recording of the year-to-date $2.4 million gain from our equity investments resulted in our second quarter revenue and operating income being lower. We continue to invest in new personnel related to technology initiatives and expansion into new business lines such as investment banking and servicing active trader customers. We also advanced our strategic initiatives with the $2.0 million investment in FusionIQ and the acquisition of Big Machine Rock, reinforcing our commitment to long‑term growth and diversification.

Inflation holds firm
The latest reading of the consumer price index (CPI) showed monthly and annual inflation plateauing as declining gasoline prices wiped out increases in the costs of medical care, airfares, household furnishings and a wide range of other goods and services. Prices rose 0.2 percent on the month and 2.7 percent over the past year, according to the BLS, in line with June levels. But core inflation — which strips out volatile food and energy prices — came in at 0.3 percent higher over the past month and rose 3.1 percent over the past year. The July CPI report was largely in line with the expectations of economists, who projected a 0.2 percent monthly increase in prices and an annual inflation rate of 2.7 percent, according to consensus estimates. We have more here.

‘Crazy!!': How Labor Statistics staff reacted to Trump firing commissioner after dismal jobs report
The emails obtained by The Associated Press under the Freedom of Information Act suggest an agency with little of the corrupting partisanship that Trump had claimed. He called the report 'phony' and 'rigged' after it indicated a paltry 73,000 jobs were added in July and after downward revisions that showed 258,000 fewer jobs were added in May and June than previously reported. After the commissioner's firing, BLS employees talked about the importance of accurate numbers and professional integrity in producing data that is foundational for measuring the economy and holding elected officials accountable for how the nation performs. Advertisement Officials at the agency sought to rally morale by focusing on their task at hand at a time when outside economists wondered if Trump had compromised the credibility of reports on jobs, inflation and other key economic indicators. The president has said without evidence that the numbers were meant to make him and other Republicans look bad — his latest effort to interfere with the functions of executive branch agencies, including the Federal Reserve. 'This news is sudden, but our mission is unchanged — to provide high quality data to the nation,' William Wiatrowski, the acting commissioner, told the staff in an email. 'Thank you for all the good work you do.' One assistant commissioner told staff to persevere just as a ship's crew might after losing its captain. Advertisement 'We may have lost our captain but the ship will not go down,' the assistant commissioner wrote. 'We will neither hit an iceberg and sink to the ocean floor, nor run aground on a low-lying shoal. We are not rudderless. We remain ... guided by our mission to provide gold-standard statistics the public can trust.' For her part, McEntarfer stayed stoic in her email to staff, choosing not to dwell on her firing by the president. Instead, she thanked BLS employees for the importance of their work. 'Our data moves markets because it is some of the most timely and accurate information on economic conditions that businesses and policymakers have,' she wrote. 'BLS data impacts the decisions of the Fed, the President, Congress, and millions of businesses and households. The work of this agency is vital to the US economy.' The White House maintains that McEntarfer was removed because the size of the revisions suggested that the monthly jobs report was flawed. As part of each jobs report, the BLS revises the prior months' data two times. It also issues an annual benchmark revision after getting more complete survey information, an effort that is meant to balance being timely with being accurate. Trump announced Monday that he would nominate Antoni told Fox News Digital in an interview before the announcement that the BLS 'should suspend issuing the monthly job reports' because of inaccuracies and offer quarterly updates instead. When asked at Tuesday's White House briefing whether the monthly jobs report would continue to be released, press secretary Karoline Leavitt said the administration hoped it would be. Advertisement 'I believe that is the plan and that's the hope,' Leavitt said.
