Mark Barrocas: “Q2 was a blowout quarter for SharkNinja. We delivered our 13th consecutive quarter of double-digit net sales growth. And we didn't just sustain our pace, we accelerated to over 22% growth year-over-year. This is our fastest growth rate since Q4 2024.” $SN https://t.co/IPqHNlNfKJ

@JohnHuber72 I believe $NRP's production jump in Appalachia was primary due to $ARLP's Tunnel Ridge mine, which should be a stable producer going forward.

Doug Bergeron of Verifone fame going activist on $ETD. As we pointed out here in the past, there's a ton of value in this business and there's no doubt that the brand has enormous potential. "Ethan Allen" still has tremendous brand equity.

Be very careful relying heavily on stock screeners for your research, especially right now. Lots of Cos. are getting tariff refunds, which is inflating operating income and margins. It’s why I love reading press releases to get a broader picture. @InfoArbMonitor $WEYS👇 https://t.co/UQrxoM5tSm
