'Once we started to receive consumer complaints, we were able to trace the issue back to one of our almond suppliers," Tony's stated. "After further investigation, it appears that a new origin of almonds in a limited batch was insufficiently processed at the supplier's factory, resulting in a risk of foreign objects — small stones — being present in the final products that were made,' said Tony's Chocolonely."

Bank of America upgrades Snowflake heading into earnings, sees more than 20% upside
Bank of America is growing bullish on Snowflake one week before it releases second-quarter earnings results. The Wall Street investment bank upgraded its investment opinion on the maker of cloud data warehousing software to buy from neutral, and raised its price target to $240 from $220, implying more than 24% upside from Tuesday's close. The upgrade comes ahead of the company's results for the quarter that ended July 31, due to be released post-market Aug. 27. BofA analyst Brad Sills expects "solid" financials, reinforcing a multi-year cycle of strong growth. "While we believe that Q2 earnings will be a catalyst for the stock given multiple positive data points outlined below, our call is for outperformance over the long term given incremental traction with products addressing a [significantly] larger addressable AI market for software of $155bn," he wrote on Wednesday. Sills also believes that recent web data signals upside for Snowflake's product revenue, citing second-quarter SimilarWeb total page views rising 42% year-over-ear. He estimates that product revenue will come in 2.5% better than Snowflake's guidance. "Positive Cloud Views data supports our thesis that Snowflake is at an inflection point for improving demand trends," the analyst wrote. Sills' upgrade tracks with the Street's bullishness. Only nine analysts rate Snowcloud a hold while 41 carry a strong buy or buy rating, according to LSEG. While the stock has come under pressure in the past month, falling more than 11%, the Bozeman, Montana-based company is still higher by 46% over the past year while the S & P 500 has risen less than 15%. The stock climbed 2.5% premarket Wednesday on the heels of the BofA upgrade.

Target names longtime insider Michael Fiddelke its next CEO as retailer tries to break sales and stock slump
Target on Wednesday said that company veteran Michael Fiddelke will become its next CEO at a critical point in its effort to break out of a sales slump and win back Wall Street's favor. Fiddelke, the company's 49-year-old chief operating officer and former chief financial officer, will succeed Brian Cornell effective Feb. 1. Cornell, who took the helm of the cheap chic retailer in 2014, will transition to the role of executive chair on Target's board of directors. The Minneapolis-based retailer made the announcement on the same day it reported fiscal second-quarter results. It topped Wall Street's quarterly sales and earnings expectations, but stuck by a full-year outlook that forecasts another annual sales decline. Target shares dropped about 10% in premarket trading after the company made the CEO announcement and released results. Before Target announced its choice, Wall Street appeared to favor an outsider for the top job. Fiddelke steps into Target's top role as the big-box retailer tries to find its footing and get back to growth. Target's annual sales have been roughly flat for the past four years after the company's sales soared during the Covid pandemic. On a call with reporters, Fiddelke said he is 'stepping in with urgency to rebuild momentum and return to profitable growth.' He laid out three priorities: Reestablishing Target's reputation as a retailer with stylish and unique items, providing a more consistent customer experience and using technology more effectively to operate an efficient business. 'We've built a solid foundation, and we're proud of the many ways that Target is unique in American retail,' he said. 'We also have real work in front of us.' Fiddelke is a 20-year Target veteran. During his decades with the company, he has held leadership roles across merchandising, finance, operations and human resources. He became Target's chief financial officer in late 2019 and stepped into the role of chief operating officer in early 2024. In May, he was tapped to oversee a new effort, the Enterprise Acceleration Office, created to turn around Target's results. Target cut its full-year outlook in May and reiterated that guidance on Wednesday, saying that it expects a low-single-digit percentage point decline in sales this fiscal year. Target's performance has shaken Wall Street's confidence. Shares of the company have tumbled about 60% since their all-time high in 2021. Target's stock had dropped 22% in 2025 alone as of Tuesday's close. Customers, former employees and suppliers told CNBC that the company's best-known traits of eye-catching merchandise, tidy stores and friendly employees have become weaker. The retailer also is facing stiffer competition from rivals including Walmart, contending with cost pressures because of tariffs and dealing with backlash to its reversal of key diversity, equity and inclusion policies. And last week, Ulta Beauty and Target announced they are ending a deal that opened mini beauty shops in nearly a third of Target's stores. The partnership will end in August 2026. Wall Street had favored an outsider for the CEO job, according to a June survey of 51 investors by Mizuho Securities, an equity research firm. About 96% of investors polled favored an external hire for Target's next CEO. Christine Leahy, lead independent director of Target's board of directors, said in a news release that the board chose Fiddelke after 'an extensive external search and assessment of many strong candidates' over several years. 'Michael's tenure gives him unmatched enterprise insight and a base of strong team trust,' she said. 'But what sets him apart is how he combines those strengths with a 'fresh eyes' mindset, challenging the status quo to evolve how the business operates, differentiates and delivers long-term value.' On a call with reporters, Cornell and Fiddelke were asked what they would say to investors who had hoped for Target to hire an outsider who would bring fresh ideas. Fiddelke answered the question. 'I understand this business,' he said. 'I understand what makes Target distinctly unique. And I've seen us at our best, and I've seen us when we're not at our best, and that informs my candid assessment today of where we have work to do as well.' 'But I'll go back to some of what I started with: My number one goal is to get us back to growth.'

Why Is NuScale Power Stock Sliding Right Now?
Key Points NuScale Power's shares are down by nearly 40% from their July high. A major shareholder has announced its intention to sell a large stake. The company's second-quarter results were worse than expected. 10 stocks we like better than NuScale Power › NuScale Power (NYSE: SMR) is a nuclear power start-up focused on small modular reactors (SMRs). The company is a speculative bet on small-scale nuclear power. The stock had been rising, but NuScale shares dropped 37% from July 25 to Aug. 19. What's going on? The double whammy It appears that NuScale is the victim of a pair of negative catalysts that hit in rapid succession: news of a big insider stock sale and a tepid quarterly report. On July 31, construction and engineering company Fluor Enterprises (NYSE: FLR) -- NuScale's largest shareholder -- entered into an agreement to exchange 15 million Class B shares of NuScale stock for 15 million Class A shares. The transaction took place on Aug. 12. That agreement allows Fluor to sell the shares starting on Sept. 11, subject to some daily limitations. Existing NuScale shareholders were justifiably concerned that such a massive stock sale would dilute the value of their shares, so some probably decided to sell before the lock-up period expires and a flood of new shares on the market brings the share price down. Then, on Aug. 7, NuScale reported its Q2 results, which featured lower-than-expected revenue of $8.1 million and a net loss of $0.13 per share. The company's stock dropped another 12% in response, and has only slid further since. Even so, shares are still up 82% year to date as of market close Aug. 19, crushing the S&P 500's approximately 10% gain. A risky bet NuScale's SMRs are still in the development phase. In its Q2 earnings presentation, management reiterated that it's hoping to get "a firm order by the end of 2025" for a reactor, which it would still then need to build. In the meantime, it remains a risky, speculative investment. Fluor's impending sale of NuScale stock could cause the price to drop further, so interested investors will probably want to wait before buying in.
