INVESTOR DEADLINE: Robbins Geller Rudman & Dowd LLP Announces that Centene Corporation (CNC) Investors with Substantial Losses Have Opportunity to Lead Investor Class Action Lawsuit
If you suffered substantial losses and wish to serve as lead plaintiff of the Centene class action lawsuit, please provide your information here:
You can also contact attorneys J.C. Sanchez or Jennifer N. Caringal of Robbins Geller by calling 800/449-4900 or via e-mail at info@rgrdlaw.com. Lead plaintiff motions for the Centene class action lawsuit must be filed with the court no later than September 8, 2025.
CASE ALLEGATIONS: Centene is a healthcare enterprise that provides fully integrated services to government-sponsored and commercial healthcare programs, focusing on underinsured and uninsured individuals.
The Centene class action lawsuit alleges that defendants throughout the Class Period created the false impression that they possessed reliable information pertaining to Centene's projected revenue outlook and anticipated growth while also touting enrollment rates and low morbidity. In truth, Centene's optimistic reports and promises regarding Centene's inflated guidance fell short of reality when a preliminary analysis of over two-thirds of Centene's marketplace share showed lower-than-anticipated enrollment and increased aggregate market morbidity, according to the complaint.
The Centene class action lawsuit further alleges that, on July 1, 2025, Centene withdrew its 2025 guidance. Particularly, following an analysis of the 2025 Health Insurance Marketplace, Centene's overall market growth across 22 states, or 72% of Centene's marketplace membership, was lower than expected, according to the complaint. Centene also stated that this preliminary analysis resulted in a reduction of its previously issued guidance to approximately $1.8 billion or an adjusted diluted EPS of $2.75, the Centene class action lawsuit alleges. On this news, the price of Centene stock fell by more than 40%.
THE LEAD PLAINTIFF PROCESS: The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 permits any investor who purchased or acquired Centene securities during the class period to seek appointment as lead plaintiff in the Centene class action lawsuit. A lead plaintiff is generally the movant with the greatest financial interest in the relief sought by the putative class who is also typical and adequate of the putative class. A lead plaintiff acts on behalf of all other class members in directing the Centene class action lawsuit. The lead plaintiff can select a law firm of its choice to litigate the Centene class action lawsuit. An investor's ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff of the Centene class action lawsuit.

Should You Hold or Sell CRWV Stock Before Q2 Earnings Release?
CoreWeave, Inc. CRWV will report its second-quarter 2025 results on Aug. 12, after market close. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the bottom line in the to-be-reported quarter is pegged at a loss of 23 cents. The estimate has been unchanged in the past 60 days. The consensus estimate for total revenues is pinned at $1.08 billion. This is CoreWeave's second earnings release since it started trading as a listed company on March 28, 2025. CoreWeave is an AI-focused infrastructure company and its cloud platform has been developed to scale, support, and accelerate GenAI. In the last reported quarter, CRWV reported a loss of $1.49 per share, which was much wider than a loss of 62 cents in the year-ago quarter. Loss per share includes $177 million of stock-based compensation expense for awards with a liquidity-event performance-based vesting condition, which was satisfied at IPO. Adjusted net loss for the quarter was $149.6 million compared with $23.6 million a year ago. What Our Model Predicts for CRWV's Q2 Our proven model does not conclusively predict an earnings beat for CRWV this time around. The combination of a positive Earnings ESP and a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold) increases the chances of an earnings beat. But that is not the case here. You can uncover the best stocks to buy or sell before they are reported with our Earnings ESP Filter. CRWV has an Earnings ESP of 0.00% and a Zacks Rank #4 (Sell). You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank stocks here. Factors to Focus on Ahead of CRWV's Q2 Earnings Amid the AI infrastructure boom, increasing demand for CoreWeave's cloud software and infrastructure services is likely to have driven the top-line performance. In the last reported quarter, CRWV's revenues jumped 420% year over year, ending the quarter with a backlog of $25.9 billion. Besides a $11.9 billion deal with OpenAI, CRWV has added several new enterprise customers and a hyperscaler client in the last reported quarter. It also signed expansion agreements with many customers, including a $4 billion expansion with a big AI-enterprise customer. CRWV added that the $4 billion expansion agreement signed with a big AI client will be reflected in revenue backlog beginning in the second quarter. In addition to scaling capacity and getting adequate financing for infrastructure, CRWV is also expanding its go-to-market capabilities. Moreover, the buyout of the Weights and Biases acquisition has added 1,400 AI labs and enterprises as clients for CoreWeave. Building on this, the company unveiled three major offerings in June, which aim to help AI teams develop, deploy and iterate faster by combining CoreWeave's cloud infrastructure with Weights & Biases' developer platform. CoreWeave also boasts a growing data center network across the United States and Europe. It has a network of 33 purpose-built AI-data centers across the United States and Europe, supported by 420MW of active power. In July, it announced $6 billion to build a new state-of-the-art AI data center in Lancaster, PA, with an initial capacity of 100 megawatts (MW) and a potential to scale up to 300MW. The Lancaster facility will add to the company's 1.6 gigawatt (GW) of contracted power, offering a multiyear runway in power capacity. CRWV's collaboration with NVIDIA Corporation bodes well. CRWV implements the latter's GPU technologies at scale. Nonetheless, CRWV faces plenty of challenges. CoreWeave faces tough competition in the AI cloud infrastructure space, which boasts behemoths like Amazon AMZN, Microsoft MSFT and other pure play AI infra companies like Nebius NBIS. Amazon Web Services and Microsoft's Azure cloud platform together dominate more than half of the cloud market. With everyone vying for a share of the lucrative market, client acquisition gets increasingly difficult. CRWV's aggressive capital deployment strategy is a key concern. CRWV expects capex to be between $20 billion and $23 billion for 2025 due to accelerated investment in the platform to meet customer demand. High capex, even with a success-based model, exposes CoreWeave to execution risks if contract revenue does not materialize on time. For the second quarter, capex is forecast to be $3 billion to $3.5 billion. CoreWeave's aggressive data center buildout is being funded in part by debt. CoreWeave issued $2 billion in new notes in May and followed that with this $1.75 billion issuance again in July. It also recently closed a $2.6 billion delayed draw term loan facility ('DDTL 3.0 Facility') to ramp up delivery of services for OpenAI and boost its infrastructure footprint. Interest expense is expected to remain elevated, at $260-$300 million in the second quarter. Higher interest expenses can exert pressure on the adjusted net income and potentially affect free cash flow generation. CRWV also anticipates stock-based compensation to remain slightly higher in 2025 for the grants issued about the IPO. CoreWeave's 77% of total revenues in 2024 came from the top two customers. This intense customer concentration is a major risk, especially if the client migrates; the revenue impact could be material. Apart from this evolving trade policy, macro uncertainty and volatility remain additional headwinds. Analysts have kept their earnings estimates unchanged for CRWV's bottom line over the past 60 days. Image Source: Zacks Investment Research CRWV Stock Performance CRWV shares have lost 27.2% in the past month. The stock has declined sharply post its announcement of $ 9 billion takeover of Core Scientific. Since the announcement on July 7, CRWV has lost 31%. Price Performance Image Source: Zacks Investment Research It has significantly underperformed the 4.7% gain of its Internet Software industry and the 1.6% of the Zacks S&P 500 composite. The broader Computer and Technology Sector has risen 3.6% over the same time frame. AMZN, MSFT and NBIS have gained 1.3%, 5.7% and 16.9%, respectively, over the same time frame. Lofty Valuation for CRWV Valuation-wise, CoreWeave seems overvalued, as suggested by the Value Score of F. In terms of Price/Book, CRWV shares are trading at 27.76X, way higher than the Internet Software industry's ratio of 6.97X, but it could mean more risk than opportunity. Image Source: Zacks Investment Research Investment Thesis for CRWV Stock The AI infrastructure market continues to expand rapidly in 2025, driven by explosive demand for GPU-intensive applications, including large language models and inference-at-scale workloads. This bodes well for CRWV. Despite a robust market, CoreWeave faces tremendous competition from Azure, AWS and Google Cloud. Also, customer concentration and huge capex owing to data center expansion remain headwinds. What Should You Do With CRWV Stock Before Q2? CoreWeave's heavy customer concentration and ballooning capex pose risk, especially if revenues fall short. The company's elevated interest expenses and continued dilution from stock-based comp add further pressure on margins. With a lofty valuation and weak stock performance, CRWV remains vulnerable heading into the second quarter. Given the unfavorable Zacks Rank, investors would be better off if they offloaded CRWV from portfolios before the second quarter.

Intel's stock tumbles after Trump says its CEO must resign
Shares of Intel slumped Thursday after President Donald Trump said in a social media post that the chipmaker's CEO needs to resign. 'The CEO of Intel is highly CONFLICTED and must resign, immediately,' Trump posted on Truth Social. 'There is no other solution to this problem. Thank you for your attention to this problem!' Trump made the post after Sen. Tom Cotton sent a letter to Intel Chairman Frank Yeary expressing concern over CEO Lip-Bu Tan's investments and ties to semiconductor firms that are reportedly linked to the Chinese Communist Party and the People's Liberation Army, and asked the board whether Tan had divested his interests in these companies to eliminate any conflicts of interest. Cotton specifically called out Tan's recent leadership of Cadence Design Systems in the letter. The tech company admitted in July to selling its products to China's National University of Defense Technology in violation of U.S. export controls. 'In March 2025, Intel appointed Lip-Bu Tan as its new CEO," Cotton wrote in the letter. "Mr. Tan reportedly controls dozens of Chinese companies and has a stake in hundreds of Chinese advanced-manufacturing and chip firms. At least eight of these companies reportedly have ties to the Chinese People's Liberation Army.' 'U.S. companies who receive government grants should be responsible stewards of taxpayer dollars and adhere to strict security regulations,' Cotton wrote on the social platform X. Intel had been a beneficiary of the Biden administration's CHIPS Act, receiving more than $8 billion in federal funding to build computer chip plants around the country. Intel did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The demands made by Trump and Cotton come as economic and political rivalries between the U.S. and China increasingly focus on the competition over chips, AI and other digital technologies that experts say will shape future economies and military conflicts. Cotton, the chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, has raised concerns that Chinese spies could be working at tech companies and defense contractors, using their positions to steal secrets or plant digital backdoors that give China access to classified systems and networks. On Thursday the Arkansas Republican wrote to the Department of Defense urging Defense Secrectary Pete Hegseth to ban all non-U.S. citizens from jobs allowing them to access DoD networks. He has also demanded an investigation into Chinese citizens working for defense contractors. 'The U.S. government recognizes that China's cyber capabilities pose one of the most aggressive and dangerous threats to the United States, as evidenced by infiltration of our critical infrastructure, telecommunications networks, and supply chains,' Cotton wrote in an earlier letter calling on the Pentagon to conduct the investigation. National security officials have linked China's government to hacking campaigns targeting prominent Americans and critical U.S. systems. Shares of the California company slid 3.5%, while markets, particularly the tech-heavy Nasdaq, gained ground. Founded in 1968 at the start of the PC revolution, Intel missed the technological shift to mobile computing triggered by Apple's 2007 release of the iPhone, and it's lagged more nimble chipmakers. Intel's troubles have been magnified since the advent of artificial intelligence — a booming field where the chips made by once-smaller rival Nvidia have become tech's hottest commodity. Intel is shedding thousands of workers and cutting expenses — including some domestic semiconductor manufacturing capabilities — as Tan, who took over as CEO in March, tries to revive the fortunes of the struggling chipmaker.

Plumbing Automated Dominates with Performance-Based Growth System for Plumbing Businesses
Plumbing Automated successfully executes the rollout of its automated growth system, helping U.S. plumbers generate exclusive inbound calls and build loyal customer bases. Plumbing Automated, a New York-based digital growth partner, has been dominating its nationwide performance-based marketing system for licensed plumbing companies. The company's full-funnel approach combines qualified inbound lead generation with a customer retention framework designed to help plumbing businesses achieve predictable growth and long-term brand loyalty. Plumbing Automated operates on a licensed, results-first model. Clients only pay when the system delivers measurable results - specifically, booked, qualified calls from local homeowners in need of plumbing services. This performance structure ensures alignment between the company and its clients, many of whom are looking to scale while avoiding the risks of traditional marketing retainers. 'We're not here to sell clicks or impressions,' said founder and marketing strategist Dilan Lieberman. 'Our mission is to help plumbers build thriving, predictable businesses - starting with quality calls and ending with customers who come back and refer their friends.' Plumbing Automated's primary offering is its Automated Growth System, which leverages Google Local Service Ads, digital targeting strategies, and AI-powered follow-up tools. According to the company, each client receives 100+ exclusive, pre-qualified calls per month. These leads are never shared, increasing conversion rates and ensuring that plumbing companies focus only on serious, local prospects. In addition to call generation, the company provides a proprietary post-sale system called the 10/10 Customer Flow. This process is designed to convert one-time customers into repeat clients and long-term advocates. It uses automated communication, follow-up reminders, and referral incentives to keep the client's brand top of mind with past customers - driving rebookings and word-of-mouth business. 'Lead volume is great, but if it doesn't translate to real business - and ongoing customer relationships - it's just noise,' Lieberman added. 'Our 10/10 model fills that critical gap.' Clients of Plumbing Automated report not just an increase in job volume, but a stronger local brand presence. One multi-truck plumbing company based in California attributed a doubling of monthly bookings to the system and said more than 60% of its new jobs now come from referrals. Industry analysts have also taken notice. A U.S. home services expert noted that 'Plumbing Automated is rewriting the rulebook for trades marketing by delivering measurable ROI and sustainable growth - not just temporary lead spikes.' The company works exclusively with licensed plumbing business owners, including single-operator services and established multi-truck firms. Plumbing Automated is not designed for subcontractors or temporary side hustlers, but for professionals focused on long-term scaling. Clients have access to clear reporting dashboards that track lead volume, conversion rates, repeat bookings, and referral sources. The company emphasizes transparency and performance, aiming to act as a true growth partner rather than a traditional agency. 'We measure our success in scheduled jobs, loyal customers, and smart ways to turn revenue into growth,' Lieberman said. 'That's what real growth looks like.' As more trade businesses turn to digital solutions for client acquisition and retention, Plumbing Automated's approach is positioning it as a leader in the space. With tens of thousands of leads delivered and thousands of repeat customers generated, the company is helping U.S. plumbers take control of their growth - and their future.
