Interesting follow up on this today: The SEC settled an enforcement action against $TBBK's now-retired CFO, fining him $30,000 for directing the company's 10-K to be filed when he knew the auditors hadn't yet signed off. https://t.co/9N28UhEMlw https://t.co/8yBRR6MC7Q https://t.co/1lPgtgKyWD

$OXM getting "LULUed" after hours following a huge guide lower. Apparently people are tired of the floral prints at Lily Pulitzer. Less bright colors they said. Tepid demand for $150 quarter zips at #southerntide isn't helping matters either. The market seems to think that $0.70 quarterly dividend is at HUGE risk. No position.

@StockJabber @hntrbrkmedia I saw your email on for-profit education names that could be exposed to AI. We have written extensively on the bear case for $LOPE $CVSA $STRA $PRDO and others. AI is only ONE OF MANY ISSUES the industry now faces, in my view.

$DLTH is a perfect case study on where AI & stock screeners might get tripped up and on why doing the manual work still matters. Even though the headline acknowledges a large tariff refund, adjusted EPS does not “adjust.” Adjusted EPS is 6c, not 50c! Source: @InfoArbMonitor https://t.co/RBcbuTAHmX
