WHY: A recently filed securities fraud class action complaint has now partially survived defendants' attempts to dismiss that complaint. The underlying complaint alleges that Mercury Systems, through certain of its officers and directors, used acquisitions and improper revenue recognition practices to mask its inability to grow organically. The complaint further alleges that Defendants repeatedly misled investors to believe that their growth was organic by misrepresenting several elements of Mercury's business, including by hiding that Mercury had switched from 'point-in-time' to 'long-term contracts' in order to improperly boost reported revenues and that several of Mercury's projects were in significant distress, including projects related to Mercury's acquisition of Physical Optics Corporation. Finally, the Complaint alleges Mercury also lied to investors about its strategic growth initiative, 1MPACT, which was designed to improve profit margins but unbeknownst to investors was used to disguise regular expenses as restructuring costs, enabling Mercury to claim that recurring expenses were one-time costs.
On February 20, 2025, a Federal Court determined that certain key allegations in the plaintiff's underlying securities fraud class action complaint were adequately pleaded to survive defendants attempts to dismiss the complaint.

The underlying class action complaint was brought on behalf of a class consisting of all persons and entities other who: (1) purchased, or otherwise acquired securities of Playstudios, Inc.

Congress should think again about foreign investor tax: UK ambassador to US

British Ambassador to the U.S. Peter Mandelson is appealing to Congress to think again about the proposed new retaliatory tax on certain foreign investment in the US. 'I think that there's something wrong in principle that you should punish a country's businesses and individuals in America because you don't like what their governments are doing at home,' Mandelson said of Section 899 of the House's 'big, beautiful bill' to implement Trump's agenda. Section 899 would create a retaliatory tax on nationals of countries that impose 'unfair foreign taxes' on American businesses. 'If you've got an argument with their governments, then take it out on the governments. Don't take it out on the businesses and the individuals,' he added. Mandelson also believes that this new foreign investor tax is 'counterproductive' for the United States. 'If you're creating such a risk or potential uncertainty tax on businesses here, then many will think twice about investing further in the United States. I would ask Congress to think again about 899,' he said. According to Mandelson, both Congress and the Trump administration should resolve these matters by negotiation, and 'not by means of a legislative bludgeon', where he says the 'innocent are being punished because it's felt that revenge is due against a country and it's taken out on businesses and individuals here in the US.' He added that Section 899 also sets a 'very difficult precedent,' and it's better resolved by 'government to government negotiation and by discretionary means, not statutory ones.' The provision has stoked concerns on Wall Street over whether foreign investors would pull out of U.S. investments over fears of retribution from Trump. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.

Musk-Trump Space Showdown Sends Rocket Lab Shares Soaring

June 9 - Rocket Lab USA Inc (NASDAQ:RKLB) shares climbed about 8% on Monday as investors reacted to a weekend spat between SpaceX CEO Elon Musk and former President Donald Trump. The feud began when Musk criticized Trump's proposed tax legislation on X, prompting Trump to suggest cutting Musk's government contracts. Musk fired back, hinting he might decommission SpaceX's Dragon spacecraft, currently the only U.S. vehicle for ferrying astronauts to the International Space Station, before retracting the comment. Over the weekend, Musk posted that we have got the spaceships, and they do not, implying U.S. reliance on SpaceX. That argument appears to be fueling interest in rival aerospace firms. RKLB, which holds multiple NASA contracts and is viewed as a contender for Trump's $175 billion Golden Dome missile defense initiative, saw its stock hit $31.21 in morning trading. AST SpaceMobile Inc (NASDAQ:ASTS) shares surged about 17% after reports suggested U.S. policymakers may look beyond SpaceX for various space investments. ASTS, a top customer of Blue Origin, inked a November launch deal with Jeff Bezos' company to deploy up to 45 satellites. Both RKLB and ASTS traded on above-average volume, signaling heightened investor focus on alternative space players amid the high-profile Musk-Trump clash. This article first appeared on GuruFocus.

Are Companies About to Dump Their Bitcoin? The Warning Signs Are Here

Benzinga and Yahoo Finance LLC may earn commission or revenue on some items through the links below. The cryptocurrency landscape has witnessed a significant shift as corporations increasingly adopt bitcoin as a treasury asset. While this trend has contributed to bitcoin's recent price surge, it may also be creating new vulnerabilities in the market that warrant careful consideration. Corporate adoption of bitcoin has accelerated notably, with companies following the playbook pioneered by MicroStrategy (NASDAQ:MSTR). According to Bitcoin Treasuries data, 110 publicly listed companies globally now hold bitcoin, representing a substantial institutional commitment to the digital asset. Don't Miss: — no wallets, just price speculation and free paper trading to practice different strategies. Grow your IRA or 401(k) with Crypto – . Standard Chartered's analysis focuses on a refined sample of 61 companies that purchase bitcoin purely as a treasury holding, excluding industry participants like miners, exchanges, and service providers. This subset collectively owned nearly 674,000 bitcoins as of May's end—representing 3.2% of bitcoin's total 21 million coin supply. The numbers tell a compelling story: these 'bitcoin treasuries' have doubled their holdings over just two months, accumulating close to 100,000 additional bitcoins during this period. This buying pressure has been a key factor driving bitcoin to recent all-time highs. However, Standard Chartered's analysis reveals a concerning dynamic that could eventually reverse this supportive trend. Unlike Strategy, which accumulated bitcoin over time at various price points, many newer corporate entrants have purchased at significantly higher average prices. The bank's research suggests that approximately half of the monitored corporate treasuries would find themselves underwater if bitcoin fell below $90,000. This creates a potential domino effect where companies that entered the bitcoin treasury strategy during price peaks could become forced sellers during market downturns. The risk stems from several interconnected factors: Purchase Price Disparities: Most corporate treasuries in Standard Chartered's sample have average purchase prices well above Strategy's cost basis, making them more vulnerable to market volatility. NAV Multiple Justification: Currently, companies holding bitcoin trade at Net Asset Value multiples above 1, justified by market inefficiencies such as regulatory constraints and conservative institutional investment processes. As these barriers diminish over time, the premium valuations may compress. Corporate Pain Thresholds: Unlike dedicated cryptocurrency companies, traditional corporations may have lower tolerance for significant losses on treasury holdings. Standard Chartered estimates that newer entrants likely couldn't withstand a 50% decline from their average purchase price—a threshold that Strategy weathered during the 2022 crypto winter. Trending: New to crypto? on Coinbase. The analysis suggests that if bitcoin drops more than 22% below companies' average purchase prices, forced selling could emerge. This creates a feedback loop where price declines trigger corporate selling, potentially accelerating further declines. This dynamic differs markedly from Strategy's experience in November 2022, when bitcoin halved but the company maintained its position. Several factors may have aided Strategy's resilience: smaller absolute dollar losses at the time, the absence of U.S. spot bitcoin ETFs providing alternative exposure, and the company's fundamental commitment to bitcoin as a long-term strategy. This corporate treasury trend presents both opportunities and risks for the broader bitcoin market: Positive Factors: Corporate adoption provides institutional legitimacy and substantial buying pressure that has supported recent price appreciation. Risk Factors: The concentration of recent purchases at higher price levels creates potential selling pressure during market stress, possibly amplifying volatility. Timing Considerations: As market inefficiencies that currently justify premium valuations are resolved, bitcoin treasuries could shift from price supporters to sources of downside pressure. While corporate bitcoin adoption represents a significant maturation of the cryptocurrency market, investors should recognize that these treasury strategies may behave differently than those of dedicated bitcoin companies during market stress. The sustainability of this trend will likely depend on bitcoin's price stability and these companies' ability to maintain their positions through potential volatility. As Standard Chartered notes, the question isn't whether these companies will face pressure, but rather how much volatility they can withstand before strategic considerations shift. For market participants, understanding these dynamics becomes crucial as corporate treasuries represent an increasingly significant portion of bitcoin's circulating supply. Their behavior during the next major market downturn will provide important insights into the resilience of this newer form of institutional bitcoin adoption.
