Ancora Issues Statement of Support for Pitney Bowes
Fredrick D. DiSanto, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Ancora Holdings Group LLC, and James Chadwick, President of Ancora Alternatives LLC, commented:
'We originally invested in Kurt Wolf's special purpose vehicle because we believed Kurt could be a catalyst of significant value creation at Pitney Bowes. More than two years later, Kurt has clearly been the driving force behind the Company's cost reductions, cash repatriation initiatives, debt reduction and the necessary divestiture of the Global Ecommerce unit. The excellent results speak for themselves. We look forward to remaining long term investors in Pitney Bowes and believe shareholders are well served by Kurt Wolf as the Company's Chief Executive Officer.'

Stock futures are little changed as investors await more inflation data: Live updates
Traders work on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) on August 12, 2025 in New York City. Spencer Platt | Getty Images News | Getty Images Stock futures were relatively unchanged on Wednesday after the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite rallied to new records and as investors gear up for more data to assess the state of the U.S. economy. S&P 500 futures traded around the flatline, as did Nasdaq 100 futures . Futures tied to the Dow Jones Industrial Average were also flat. The moves come after a winning day on Wall Street, with the S&P 500 and Nasdaq reaching new intraday and closing record highs on Wednesday for the second day in a row. Both indexes finished the session with a gain of 0.32% and 0.14%, respectively. The Dow Jones Industrial Average also rose 463.66 points, or 1.04%. Tuesday's session had returned the broad market S&P 500 and the tech-heavy Nasdaq to record territory on the back of a cooler-than-expected inflation report for July. That report stoked hopes among investors for a rate cut from the Federal Reserve at the end of its September policy meeting. More economic data releases are on the docket for Thursday. July's producer price index reading – as well as jobless claims data for the week ended Aug. 9 – is slated for release at 8:30 a.m. ET. Economists polled by Dow Jones are expecting the measure of wholesale prices to show a 0.2% rise on the month. The index had come in flat in June. "After yesterday's 'not as bad as it could have been' July Consumer Price Index report, the equity markets are now in full 'easing expectation' mode," said CFRA Research's chief investment strategist Sam Stovall. "Even though Thursday's Producer Price Index (PPI) is projected to show increases on a month-over-month (M/M) and year-over-year (Y/Y) basis, we think investors will overlook them." Meanwhile, in extended trading Wednesday, shares of Cisco dropped more than 2% after the major tech company's fourth-quarter results narrowly beat expectations. Other names like agricultural equipment company Deere and Coach owner Tapestry are due to release their latest quarterly results before the bell Thursday. U.S. stock futures traded just below the flatline on Wednesday evening. S&P 500 futures fell 0.1% shortly after 6 p.m. ET, along with Nasdaq 100 futures. Futures tied to the Dow Jones Industrial Average lost 36 points, or about 0.1%. — Sean Conlon

Citi Reaffirms Ardagh Metal Packaging (AMBP) Buy After Q2 Earnings Beat
Ardagh Metal Packaging S.A. (NYSE:AMBP) is one of the best NYSE penny stocks to invest in now. On July 24, Citi reaffirmed its 'Buy' rating on Ardagh with a maintained price target of $5.00 per share. The reaffirmation followed Ardagh's Q2 2025 earnings report that exceeded expectations. Ardagh's EBITDA for the quarter came in at $210 million, beating analyst consensus estimates of $201 million and the company's own guidance of $195–$205 million. Likewise, revenue surpassed the $1.35 billion consensus estimate, reaching $1.46 billion. So did the quarter's EPS, which touched $0.08 against the estimated $0.07. Following the stellar performance, Ardagh revised its full-year 2025 EBITDA guidance upwards to between $705 and $725 million, from a previous range of $695-$720 million. The consensus estimate is $720 million. Before the earnings report, Citi had anticipated a 15% year-over-year increase in Ardagh's second-quarter EBITDA to approximately $204 million. The analysts had also anticipated that the company would raise its full-year EBITDA guidance to $705–$725 million due to 'strong demand in North America, ongoing volume growth in Europe, and modest upside from foreign exchange movements.' Ardagh Metal Packaging S.A. (NYSE:AMBP) is a Luxembourg-based manufacturer of metal beverage cans for global brands in beer, carbonated soft drinks, energy drinks, and other categories. It operates production facilities across Europe, the United States, and Brazil, where it supplies lightweight, recyclable aluminum packaging to major beverage companies. While we acknowledge the potential of AMBP as an investment, we believe certain AI stocks offer greater upside potential and carry less downside risk.
