New York, New York--(Newsfile Corp. - July 14, 2025) - Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP, a leading national securities law firm, is investigating potential claims against Organon & Co.

Faruqi & Faruqi is a leading national securities law firm with offices in New York, Pennsylvania, California and Georgia. The firm has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors since its founding in 1995. See www.faruqilaw.com.
Defendants provided investors with material information concerning Organon's prioritization of its capital allocation strategy through regular, quarterly dividends. Defendants' statements included, among other things, reassurance that capital allocation through the aforementioned dividends was a "#1 capital allocation priority' and that Organon was committed to consistent deployment of capital. Defendants provided these overwhelmingly positive statements to investors while, at the same time, disseminating materially false and misleading statements and/or concealing material adverse facts concerning the true state of the Company's priorities, particularly, related to capital allocation through quarterly dividends. Notably, Defendants concealed the high priority of Organon's debt reduction strategy following the Company's acquisition of Dermavant, resulting in a 70% decrease for the regular quarterly dividend. Such statements absent these material facts caused Plaintiff and other shareholders to purchase Organon's securities at artificially inflated prices.
Investors and analysts again reacted promptly to Organon's revelations. The price of Organon's common stock declined dramatically. From a closing market price of $12.93 per share on April 30, 2025, Organon's stock price fell to $9.45 per share on May 1, 2025, a decline of more than 27% in the span of just a single day.
The court-appointed lead plaintiff is the investor with the largest financial interest in the relief sought by the class who is adequate and typical of class members who directs and oversees the litigation on behalf of the putative class. Any member of the putative class may move the Court to serve as lead plaintiff through counsel of their choice, or may choose to do nothing and remain an absent class member. Your ability to share in any recovery is not affected by the decision to serve as a lead plaintiff or not.
Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP also encourages anyone with information regarding Organon's conduct to contact the firm, including whistleblowers, former employees, shareholders and others.

Canadian steelmakers need to focus on domestic market as tariffs lock them out of U.S.: Algoma CEO
Canadian steelmakers might need to pivot their focus on the domestic industry as steep tariffs lock them out of the United States market, according to the chief executive of Canada's second-largest steel producer. 'We'll have little to no business in the U.S. if the 50 per cent tariff continues,' Algoma Steel Inc. CEO Michael Garcia said in a recent interview with the Financial Post's Larysa Harapyn. 'Once the full effect of (the tariffs) plays out, it will effectively lock out Algoma and frankly other Canadian steel producers from the U.S. market.' Garcia said not having economic access to customers in the U.S. would be a big challenge for Canadian steelmakers because that's where most of their product goes. 'There really are no practical foreign markets for Canadian steel other than the U.S. market,' he said. But entering the domestic market comes with its own obstacles. Garcia said roughly two-thirds of the country's steel is supplied by foreign companies, so Canadian steelmakers would face a lot of competition. 'Much of that steel is unfairly traded and dumped into the Canadian market,' he said. 'That's accelerated now that the U.S. has 50 per cent tariffs on all foreign steel coming into the U.S.' Garcia said another problem is that most of the steel produced domestically is coil, and steelmakers would need to diversify their product to appeal to Canadian businesses. 'That requires investment, that requires time,' he said. 'There has to be an environment where Canadian steelmakers are making the … type of steel that is consumed in Canada and have a free-trade environment to win that business.' The federal government said last month that it is setting aside $1 billion from its Strategic Innovation Fund to help Canadian steel companies advance new projects. But Garcia said there isn't an uptick in demand for those projects yet. 'We've got concerns': Steel import restrictions spark fear of shortages in Western Canada Carney says Canada to curb steel imports to protect industry 'Our challenge is to bridge the company into the future,' he said. 'Make sure we're making the right type of products, that are demanded by Canadian customers, and be there when that demand appears.' • Email: novid@ Error in retrieving data Sign in to access your portfolio Error in retrieving data Error in retrieving data Error in retrieving data Error in retrieving data

Mortgage and refinance interest rates today, August 9, 2025: Fixed rates are unsteady
Today's mortgage rates have moved in opposite directions. According to Zillow, the 30-year fixed mortgage rate is down by six basis points to 6.44% while the 15-year fixed rate moved up three basis points to 5.73%. After the release of the July Jobs report, which showed weak employment data, the CME FedWatch tool now reports an 89% chance that the federal funds rate will be cut in September. A lot can happen before mid-September, but if this prediction continues, we could see mortgage rates fall in the weeks leading up to the September Federal Reserve meeting.

Mortgage refinance rates are often higher than rates when you buy a house, although that's not always the case. Refinance interest rates Up Next Up Next Free mortgage calculator Use the mortgage calculator below to see how today's interest rates would affect your monthly mortgage payments. For a deeper dive, you can use Yahoo's free mortgage calculator to see how homeowners insurance and property taxes factor into in your monthly payment estimate. You even have the option to enter costs for private mortgage insurance (PMI) and homeowners' association dues if those apply to you. These details result in a more accurate monthly payment estimate than if you simply calculated your mortgage principal and interest. 30-year fixed mortgage rates: Pros and cons There are two main advantages to a 30-year fixed mortgage: Your payments are lower, and your monthly payments are predictable. A 30-year fixed-rate mortgage has relatively low monthly payments because you're spreading your repayment out over a longer period of time than with, say, a 15-year mortgage. Your payments are predictable because, unlike with an adjustable-rate mortgage (ARM), your rate isn't going to change from year to year. Most years, the only things that might affect your monthly payment are any changes to your homeowners insurance or property taxes. The main disadvantage to 30-year fixed mortgage rates is mortgage interest — both in the short and long term. A 30-year fixed term comes with a higher rate than a shorter fixed term, and it's higher than the intro rate to a 30-year ARM. The higher your rate, the higher your monthly payment. You'll also pay much more in interest over the life of your loan due to both the higher rate and the longer term. 15-year fixed mortgage rates: Pros and cons The pros and cons of 15-year fixed mortgage rates are basically swapped from the 30-year rates. Yes, your monthly payments will still be predictable, but another advantage is that shorter terms come with lower interest rates. Not to mention, you'll pay off your mortgage 15 years sooner. So you'll save potentially hundreds of thousands of dollars in interest over the course of your loan. However, because you're paying off the same amount in half the time, your monthly payments will be higher than if you choose a 30-year term. Dig deeper: 15-year vs. 30-year mortgages Adjustable mortgage rates: Pros and cons Adjustable-rate mortgages lock in your rate for a predetermined amount of time, then change it periodically. For example, with a 5/1 ARM, your rate stays the same for the first five years and then goes up or down once per year for the remaining 25 years. The main advantage is that the introductory rate is usually lower than what you'll get with a 30-year fixed rate, so your monthly payments will be lower. (Current average rates don't necessarily reflect this, though — in some cases, fixed rates are actually lower. Talk to your lender before deciding between a fixed or adjustable rate.) With an ARM, you have no idea what mortgage rates will be like once the intro-rate period ends, so you risk your rate increasing later. This could ultimately end up costing more, and your monthly payments are unpredictable from year to year. But if you plan to move before the intro-rate period is over, you could reap the benefits of a low rate without risking a rate increase down the road. Learn more: Adjustable-rate vs. fixed-rate mortgage Is now a good time to buy a house? First of all, now is a relatively good time to buy a house compared to a couple of years ago. Home prices aren't spiking like they were during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. So, if you want or need to buy a house soon, you should feel pretty good about the current housing market. However, mortgage rates are staying relatively high due to the political and economic climate. Experts don't think rates will plummet in 2025, so you might not want to base your decision on whether to buy strictly on interest rates. Recent news that home price gains are slowing, with predictions that house values may actually ease lower this year, can be part of your home-buying decision. The best time to buy is typically whenever it makes sense for your stage of life. Trying to time the real estate market can be as futile as timing the stock market — buy when it's the right time for you. Read more: Which is more important, your home price or mortgage rate? Today's mortgage rates: FAQs What is a 30-year mortgage rate right now? According to Zillow, the national average 30-year mortgage rate is 6.44% right now. But keep in mind that mortgage rates vary by state and even ZIP codes. For example, if you're buying in a city with a high cost of living, rates could be higher. Are interest rates expected to go down? Overall, mortgage rates are expected to decrease slightly in 2025. Rates may inch up or down daily, but there shouldn't be a huge shift in the next couple of weeks. Are mortgage rates dropping? Mortgage rates are dropping slightly. Today's 30-year fixed mortgage rate has only shifted down by six basis points. How do I get the lowest refinance rate? In many ways, securing a low mortgage refinance rate is similar to when you bought your home. Try to improve your credit score and lower your debt-to-income ratio (DTI). Refinancing into a shorter term will also land you a lower rate, though your monthly mortgage payments will be higher.

Duolingo's rollercoaster week highlights a crucial risk factor to companies: Chart of the Week
New AI capabilities can mean instant reversals of fortune. Something that the language-learning platform Duolingo learned this week, on the receiving end of that novel dynamic. After the company posted a fantastic quarter, fueling a 30% stock surge, a stroke of bad luck saw it get jolted. It just so happened that OpenAI debuted its latest model, GPT-5, which demonstrated, among many other things, its ability to create a language-learning tool from a short prompt. OpenAI researcher Yann Dubois asked the model to create an app to help his partner learn French. And in a few minutes GTP-5 churned out several iterations, with flashcards, a progress tracker, and even a simple snake-style game with a French twist, a mouse and cheese variation to learn new vocab. Sign up for the Yahoo Finance Morning Brief By subscribing, you are agreeing to Yahoo's Terms and Privacy Policy The GPT-5 debut instantly wiped out a big chunk of Duolingo's gains, cutting the 30% gains in half. But the downward momentum continued Friday, with the stock sinking 4% to end the week. C'est la vie. The company's corporate lawyers, of course, did warn against this in its annual 10-K, albeit in boilerplate language. Tucked into the risk factors section, Duolingo notes, "It is possible that a new product could gain rapid scale at the expense of existing brands through harnessing a new technology (such as generative AI)." Consider this another warning to anyone making software. There's also irony in the wild swings. Part of Duolingo's successful quarter stemmed from the business's efficient use of AI. Gross margins, the company said, outperformed management expectations due to lower AI costs. And AI conversational features have become part of the company's learning tools, helping achieve double-digit subscriber growth. Earlier this year, CEO Luis von Ahn shared a memo on LinkedIn outlining his vision to make Duolingo an "AI-first" company. But the enthusiasm for AI, which led to the initial stock bump this week, also led to the clawback. AI giveth and taketh away. Duolingo's roller-coaster ride highlights the risks of competing in the space. Rapid development and fierce competition can leave firms suddenly behind — perceived as under threat, inferior, or obsolete —from every iteration of OpenAI's models and from the moves of other influential AI players vying to transform computing and productivity. OpenAI's new flagship technology arrives more than two years after the release of GPT-4. But the onset of software on demand, of allowing people to conjure up apps using a few words and without any coding know-how, underscores why AI hardware companies are also such a hot play on Wall Street. Firms building out AI infrastructure are seen as even more desirable than cheaper-to-invest-in software companies. You can't just vibe code the construction of a data center. But to be fair to Duolingo, and to my mother-in-law, a high school French teacher, you can't exactly do that with language learning either.
