Nevada families to receive $120 summer grocery aid per eligible child
The Summer Electronic Benefit Transfer (S-EBT) program will give each qualifying student $120 to help families buy groceries over the summer months.
'Programs like Summer EBT are essential for reducing childhood hunger,' Kelly Cantrelle, Deputy Administrator at the Division of Welfare and Supportive Services, said. 'Even a small amount of extra grocery support can ease the burden for working families during the summer months.'
DWSS expects as many as 280,000 Nevada children to qualify for benefits automatically this year, based on current enrollment in school meal programs and public assistance. Families who meet federal guidelines do not need to apply, benefits will be distributed automatically.
Households that received Summer EBT in 2024 will get this year's benefits on the same card, as long as their school information has not changed. Families new to the program or those with updated school records should expect a new card to arrive by mail within two to three weeks.
In 2024, the program distributed $37 million in grocery support across Nevada, with nearly 80% of those benefits used, highlighting the need for continued summer food assistance.
The deadline to apply is Aug. 10. For more information or to check eligibility, click here.

Why Texas Pacific Land Corporation Zoomed 4% Higher Today
Key Points The company will list its shares on a new stock exchange. This is NYSE Texas, smack dab on its home turf. 10 stocks we like better than Texas Pacific Land › On the second-to-last trading day of the week, investors cheered the latest move made by Texas Pacific Land Corporation (NYSE: TPL). The storied company's stock is going to anchor a new regional equities exchange, and market players cheered the expansion. They bid up Texas Pacific's shares by 4%, a figure well higher than the barely over 0% posted by the S&P 500 index that day. It's bigger in... In what feels like a suitable and symbolic development, Texas Pacific will list some of its equity on the newly formed NYSE Texas exchange. As the name implies, this is a branch of the New York Stock Exchange located in the large state. It offers solely electronic trading, as opposed to the traditional variety. In doing so, Texas Pacific is a founding member of the new bourse. The company said its "primary" stock listing would remain on the main NYSE exchange, and the NYSE Texas-listed shares would bear the same ticker symbol (TPL). In its press release trumpeting the news, the company quoted CEO Tyler Glover as saying that "With the entirety of our employees and virtually all our assets located in Texas, we maintain strong business and community ties here." Glover pointed out that Texas Pacific is the longest-listed and Texas-headquartered company on the NYSE. Positive expansion It's important to note that Texas Pacific's listing on the new exchange, no matter how appropriate, probably won't change the fundamentals of its business much, if at all. It will, however, raise its profile in its home state, and perhaps rope in new investors who might not be familiar with its operations (despite its longevity). This feels like a small but clear win for the company. Should you buy stock in Texas Pacific Land right now?

Why Coherent Stock Tanked by Nearly 20% on Thursday
Key Points The company's top- and bottom-line growth was robust in its fiscal fourth quarter of 2025. The two metrics also topped the consensus analyst estimate; however, investors found certain developments worrying. 10 stocks we like better than Coherent › Photonics company Coherent (NYSE: COHR) wasn't a bright light on the stock exchange Thursday. Despite delivering a second quarter that (slightly) beat analyst estimates, factors such as growth deceleration in a key business segment raised some concern. With that, more than a few market players assertively sold out of the stock to leave it with a loss of almost 20% on the day. That compared quite unfavorably to the more or less flat trajectory of the S&P 500 index. A double beat wasn't good enough For its fiscal Q4 of 2025, Coherent's revenue was $1.53 billion, notching a new record for the company. That figure was also 16% higher year over year. The company's non-GAAP (adjusted) net income grew more modestly, advancing by nearly 9% to $192 million or an even $1.00 per share. Both headline figures came in slightly higher than the consensus analyst estimates of $1.51 billion for revenue and $0.92 for adjusted earnings per share (EPS). Coherent attributed the improvements to the liveliness of certain revenue drivers, such as artificial intelligence (AI) data centers. However, in a new research note on the company, analyst Vivek Arya from Bank of America Securities pointed out that the company's revenue growth in the data center space was slowing. According to reports he wrote, this was 24% in Q4, but 39%, 46%, and 58% in the three preceding frames. This was one of the factors that inspired Arya to downgrade his recommendation on the stock to neutral from his previous buy. Modeling a better first quarter Coherent management proffered guidance for its current (first) quarter. It believes revenue will fall between $1.46 billion and $1.6 billion, and adjusted EPS will come in at $0.93 to $1.13. Both ranges start well above Q4 of fiscal 2024's $1.31 billion on the top line and adjusted EPS of $0.61. The average analyst estimates of, respectively, $1.55 billion and $1.03 per share for the present quarter are within the two guidance ranges. Should you buy stock in Coherent right now?

Stock Market News Review: SPY, QQQ Stumble on Souring Consumer Sentiment as Trump-Putin Summit Kicks Off
Both the S&P 500 ETF (SPY) and the Nasdaq 100 ETF (QQQ) closed in negative territory as investors await updates from a high-stakes summit between President Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin. Elevate Your Investing Strategy: Take advantage of TipRanks Premium at 50% off! Unlock powerful investing tools, advanced data, and expert analyst insights to help you invest with confidence. Both leaders have already touched down at the Elmendorf-Richardson military base in Anchorage, Alaska, with discussions underway to end the Russia-Ukraine war. The meeting, initially planned to be a one-on-one event, now consists of three participants from each side. Trump is joined by U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio and special envoy Steve Witkoff, while Putin is accompanied by Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and foreign policy aide Yury Ushakov. 'All I want to do is set the table for the next meeting, which should happen shortly,' Trump said before taking off to Alaska. Earlier this week, he explained that a second meeting could include Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and other European leaders. Meanwhile, the market received a shock after the University of Michigan's preliminary August Index of Consumer Sentiment showed a reading of 58.6, below the expectation for 62.0 and falling from 61.7 in July. If the reading holds, it would mark the first decline following four consecutive months of increases. 'Overall, consumers are no longer bracing for the worst-case scenario for the economy feared in April when reciprocal tariffs were announced and then paused,' said Surveys of Consumers Director Joanne Hsu. 'However, consumers continue to expect both inflation and unemployment to deteriorate in the future.' In addition, consumers now expect year-ahead inflation of 4.9% compared to 4.5% in July. Long-term inflation expectations jumped to 3.9% from 3.4%. July's elevated Producer Price Index (PPI) and core Consumer Price Index (CPI) add to the evidence that inflation could be mounting a comeback as consumers face higher prices from the Trump administration's tariffs. Import prices are also on the rise, signaling that U.S. trading partners aren't lowering prices in order to offset higher domestic prices. July's import prices rose by 0.4% month-over-month, ahead of the expectation for prices to remain unchanged. Import prices fell by 0.2% year-over-year. On the tariff front, Trump said he would announce the rate for semiconductor imports in the coming weeks, adding that it could be as high as 200% or 300%. That's much higher than the 100% figure he suggested during a White House event with Apple (AAPL) CEO Tim Cook earlier this month.
