Entergy Employees Pack More Than 250,000 Meals in Honor of Martin Luther King Jr. Day
This year, Entergy team members partnered with Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Louisiana, and Healthy Blue, Louisiana Blue, and dedicated their time to packing meals at 10 locations across our service area. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, more than 47 million people in the United States face hunger, including 1 in 5 children. This collective effort not only enabled us to meet our goal of supporting our customers, neighbors, and families in need but also played a crucial role in addressing hunger in our communities.
'Entergy is proud to honor the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King by joining with partners to help end hunger across our service area,' said Patty Riddlebarger, Entergy's vice president of corporate social responsibility. 'For more than twenty years, our major corporate cause has been eradication of poverty, and we know that too many families struggle to put healthy meals on their table. This MLK Day of Service is one way that our employees can help ease that struggle throughout our communities.'
The Martin Luther King, Jr. Day of Service supports Entergy's mission to create sustainable value for our communities through volunteerism and philanthropy. We pay tribute to King's legacy by actively giving back to the communities we serve. This federal holiday serves as a reminder to put his teachings into action by tackling social issues, advancing equality and empowering others. We encourage our employees to continue collaborating to support our communities and generate impactful solutions. Learn more about how Entergy serves our communities.

‘This Is a No-Go Zone,' Says Top Investor About Figma Stock
Figma (NYSE:FIG) stock made a splash when it went public late last month, with shares tripling on their first day of trading. But the early euphoria has faded – the stock now trades about 31% below its day-one close. 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. Even so, the IPO was a significant milestone for the design platform, which counts roughly 13 million active users and has delivered steady revenue growth over the past two years, including a 41% jump in Q2 2025. Yet, impressive growth alone isn't enough to sway everyone. Top investor Michael Wiggins De Oliveira, who is among the top 3% of TipRanks' stock pros, warns that jumping on the bandwagon now could be a costly mistake. 'I don't see a clear enough inflection for Figma to maintain its pricing power or growth profile over the next few quarters to justify its current multiple,' Wiggins De Oliveira explains. While the investor acknowledges the 'impressive userbase' and rapid revenue growth, he points to concerns that weaken the risk-reward profile. Chief among them is the growing narrative that AI could erode Figma's competitive moat. With technological disruption moving at breakneck speed, Wiggins De Oliveira questions whether the company can sustain its pace of year-over-year growth. Competitors could introduce advances that replicate core features of Figma's platform, undermining its uniqueness. 'The company is up against a challenging narrative that AI could disrupt much of its underlying offering,' the investor adds, projecting that revenue growth could slow to 30%–35% annually. Beyond growth concerns, Wiggins De Oliveira also casts doubt on the quality of Figma's cash flow profile. While the company posted a notable swing to nearly $100 million in free cash flow in Q1 2025, the investor cautions that the figure may have been flattered by one-off factors tied to its IPO filing. Stripping those out, he estimates sustainable annual free cash flow closer to $250 million at best – a figure that, when set against its market cap, leaves FIG trading at an expensive ~160x forward free cash flow. 'Outperformance comes from patience and picking your spots – and for me, FIG just doesn't make the cut,' concludes Wiggins De Oliveira, who rates FIG a Sell. (To watch Michael Wiggins De Oliveira's track record, click here) For now, FIG is too new to have analyst ratings, but with its IPO, early volatility, and high-profile debate, Wall Street attention is likely to grow in the months ahead.
