TXO Partners, L.P. (NYSE:TXO), based in Texas, is an oil and natural gas company focused on acquiring, developing, optimizing, and exploiting conventional hydrocarbon reserves in North America. The company holds assets in the Permian, San Juan, and Williston Basins. Established in 2012, the company's focus is on operational efficiency and low‑risk, long‑lived properties.
On May 13, 2025, the company announced entering into a definitive agreement to acquire oil, gas, and mineral assets from White Rock Energy, LLC. The acquisition, valued at $350 million, with an additional $70 million payable a year after closing, involved the company's subsidiary, Morningstar Operating LLC, partnering with North Hudson Resource Partners LP.
Following the announcement, on May 20, 2025, TXO Partners, L.P. (NYSE:TXO) saw insider buying from William H. Adams III, who acquired 10,000 shares at $15.26 each, committing $152,600 to the transaction.
The purchase increases the insider optimism for the company, and with the stock now trading at a bargain price of $15.16 and offering a high dividend yield of 15.63%, income-focused investors are provided with a slightly discounted entry point.

Thoma Bravo nearing deal to acquire software firm Dayforce, source says
(Reuters) -Private equity firm Thoma Bravo is nearing a deal to acquire HR software company Dayforce, a source familiar with the matter told Reuters on Monday. Shares of Dayforce, which has seen its stock lose more than 27% of its value so far this year, were up about 29% in late-afternoon trading. Dayforce had a market value of $8.44 billion as of Friday's closing price. Dayforce offers a cloud-based human capital management platform that includes payroll, workforce management, benefits, talent management, compliance and analytics. Thoma Bravo has been actively pursuing software acquisitions this year, betting on the build-out of artificial intelligence and the resilience of recurring revenue in a volatile economy. A deal could be announced as early as this week or possibly next week, the source said. Thoma Bravo and Dayforce did not immediately respond to requests for comment. Bloomberg News, which first reported the potential deal on Sunday, said that while the talks were advanced, they could still be delayed or falter. Dayforce beat Wall Street expectations for second-quarter revenue and raised its annual revenue forecast last week, as more enterprises increase use of AI and cloud-based platforms to run day-to-day operations.

Bayer Reaches Settlement Over Seattle-Area School PCB Cases
(Bloomberg) -- Bayer AG agreed to settle cases related to a Seattle-area school where more than 200 people were exposed to toxic chemicals made by the company's Monsanto unit. A Photographer's Pipe Dream: Capturing New York's Vast Water System A London Apartment Tower With Echoes of Victorian Rail and Ancient Rome Festivals and Parades Are Canceled Amid US Immigration Anxiety Princeton Plans New Budget Cuts as Pressure From Trump Builds Chicago Schools Seeks $1 Billion of Short-Term Debt as Cash Gone Bayer didn't disclose the financial terms of the accord, but said the cost was covered by a $618.3 million provision taken this month to deal with the company's liabilities for polychlorinated biphenyls, or PCBs, once manufactured by Monsanto. The company's shares rose 2.3% in Germany. Ex-students and teachers at the Sky Valley School outside Seattle sued Bayer and Monsanto over injuries tied to PCBs contained in aging fluorescent-light fixtures. The deal announced by Bayer — already enmeshed in multiyear litigation over its herbicide Roundup — is seen as a positive development in its handling of a wave of PCB lawsuits over Monsanto building materials made half a century ago. 'This development suggests progress toward containing PCB liabilities and reducing the risk of swelling,' analysts at Jefferies wrote in a note. Bayer, which acquired Monsanto in 2018 for $63 billion, already has agreed to pay almost $2 billion in settlements in PCB cases brought by states, cities and counties. Separate litigation over Monsanto's Roundup weedkiller has created a drag on the German conglomerate's shares. The company has reserved more than $17 billion for US Roundup suits. Monsanto stopped using PCBs in its products in 1977. Analysts have cast a wary eye on Bayer's burgeoning PCB problem. Bloomberg Intelligence analyst Holly Froum has projected it may cost Monsanto and two other companies embroiled in PCBs litigation — Eastman Chemical's Solutia and Pfizer's Pharmacia — as much as $3.9 billion to settle the remaining cases. The settlement announced Monday covers more than 200 plaintiffs with ties to the Sky Valley School, Bayer said. It doesn't wipe out the 10 verdicts in which juries in Washington State already have awarded a total of more than $1 billion, the company said. Those awards are under appeal. Bayer is asking the Washington Supreme Court to throw out the PCB verdicts based on its legal defenses. The court heard arguments in February, but has yet to hand down a ruling. An intermediate appellate court's backing of Bayer's position on the PCB cases prompted the review by the state's highest court. 'While the company remains confident in its legal strategy and defenses, and is fully prepared to defend cases at trial, it has maintained it will consider resolving cases on appropriate terms when it is strategically advantageous to help mitigate the risks and uncertainties of this litigation,' Bayer officials said in a release. Washington Verdict Earlier this year, state-court jurors in Washington ordered Bayer to pay $100 million to students and teachers exposed to PCBs, which were used used in electrical transformers, paints and sealants for their fire-resistant properties. The compounds were banned in the US in 1979 after researchers found they posed a cancer risk. The company still faces dozens of PCB suits by school districts, states and cities over health exposure and environmental contamination in buildings, landfills and waterways, according to Bayer's 2023 annual report. Bayer hopes to recover some of its PCBs litigation costs from companies such as General Electric and Westinghouse Electric, now Paramount Global, that were large users of Monsanto PCB products. Bayer hired a prominent plaintiffs' lawyer to try to enforce 52-year-old indemnity contracts the company says require its corporate customers to indemnify Monsanto for payouts tied to PCB pollution. The case before the Washington Supreme Court is Erickson v. Pharmacia LLC, No. 103135-1, Washington Supreme Court (Olympia) --With assistance from Sonja Wind.

Lulu & Georgia's Digital-First Approach To Home Furnishings
Online furniture and home decor sales in the U.S. are showing no signs of slowing down. With a market value of $230.7 billion in 2024, it's predicted to rise to $344.3 billion by 2034--a steady growth rate of 4.2%. The truth is: modern consumers want more than just convenience when shopping for home items. They crave personalization, style, and the ability to bring trend-driven design into their homes. Sara Sugarman, founder of Lulu & Georgia, spotted this shift early on. Sugarman comes from three generations of home furnishings expertise with a family that has worked in the rug business since the 1950s. But when it came time to launch her brand, she knew it had to be digital-first. Her vision was to create a brand that would be as sought after as a luxury boutique, as fashion-forward as a designer label, and as effortless as online shopping. A few defining observations shaped this decision. After officially joining the family business in 2008, she saw how the recession had transformed the way designers sourced products. 'I noticed that designers were shopping online, and there was less foot traffic in the showroom,' she recalled.'People were shopping online—I was too, and loved the flexibility. Once I had kids, I appreciated being able to shop at night or between meetings. My friends were shopping that way as well. I saw an opportunity to be digital-only, which also made it easier to bootstrap, since we didn't need the money for a showroom.' The result was Lulu & Georgia. She explained that while competitors in the online home furnishings space often try to showcase as much as possible and give the customer many choices, her approach was to go with a well-curated site focusing on quality over quantity. Her approach worked. These days, Lulu & Georgia is seeing 30% year-over-year growth, a 52% repeat customer rate (double the industry average), and collaborations that regularly sell out within days. A self-funded business and proudly profitable from day one, Sugarman grew the business by doing much of the work herself, with the aid of social media. 'I figured it out as I went, doing a lot myself in the beginning. But then I hired people like me who could wear many hats. At the time, we relied heavily on an influencer network, which meant gifting product instead of paying for posts. That was another way we could bootstrap while effectively getting the Lulu & Georgia name out there,' she said. Lulu & Georgia's digital-first model also hinges on creating an immersive online experience that rivals, if not surpasses, the traditional showroom. High-quality photography and styled spaces showcase products as intended to be lived with. The company operates its own photo studio and stages regular lifestyle shoots in rented homes, often devoting a full week to each shoot. Campaigns are produced every month or two, capturing both key and licensed collections. The final images appear online, in print catalogs, and across out-of-home campaigns, which, according to Sugarman, highlight the brand's commitment to visual storytelling. 'We've always invested a lot of time, energy, and money into our photography, and I think it sets us apart. Our images present products in a lifestyle way that inspires customers and shows them what they can create in their own home. Often, customers buy entire room setups we photograph,' says Sugarman. Every collection begins with a concept. This season's outdoor line, for example, draws from the romance of an 'Italian summer.' The creative team then searches for appropriate locations to ensure the final image feels authentic and cohesive. Video is also becoming an increasingly important part of Lulu & Georgia's storytelling arsenal. It's a smart move, since home furnishing brands are seeing increasing engagement on platforms like TikTok. The brand's own TikTok presence is impressive, with 370.2K followers and 2.1 million likes to date. Every element of Lulu & Georgia's online presence also works in concert to inspire and convert. On the website, customer reviews, user-generated content, and curated room designs help shoppers visualize complete spaces and make confident purchasing decisions. Separately, the company offers complimentary design services led by trained creatives rather than traditional sales staff. Sugarman reports that this initiative has increased average order values and strengthened customer loyalty. The brand's storytelling ethos naturally extended into partnerships. By working with designers and influencers, Lulu & Georgia can reach new audiences with fresh perspectives and style. 'Our first licensee was really in the influencer space with the brand Glitter Guide. And they had created a very playful, nursery-inspired piece called the Elodie Rug, named after her daughter. It really took off. And so that made us realize that this could be a much bigger initiative,' Sugarman explains. One of their most enduring collaborations began in 2014 with designer Sarah Sherman Samuel, resulting in a multi-year, cross-category line that continues to resonate with customers. Other partnerships have paired the brand with designers whose aesthetics both complement and expand Lulu & Georgia's own, introducing new products and points of view into the mix. Moving forward, the brand's next category expansion will be in bed and bath. Bathroom vanities, which have been adapted from Lulu & Georgia's top-selling dressers and sideboards, will be joined by towels, hardware, plumbing fixtures, and bath accessories. Lulu & Georgia's assortment strategy evolves alongside its brand presence. Today, about 55% of revenue comes from products the company designs and imports itself, giving Sugarman greater control over quality, exclusivity, and pricing. The remainder is fulfilled through carefully selected drop-ship partners, which ensures both variety and a consistent aesthetic. A robust fall launch is also on the horizon, as are new collaborations with Sarah Sherman Samuel and interior designer Heidi Caillier, which are set to debut in January. The company is also exploring opportunities in hospitality and considering the role physical spaces might play in its future.
