Turning Point Brands $TPB CEO Graham Purdy unexpectedly resigned for personal reasons, with Executive Chairman David Glazek taking over as CEO. TPB also tightened FY26 adjusted EBITDA guidance to $70-80m from $70-90m, assuming no margin benefit from U.S. manufacturing onshoring until 2027 and continued elevated freight costs. Shares down 13%. TPB remains one of the few plays on the growth in nicotine pouch consumption (a KEDM theme).

$CRDO - Others have tried this already. $MRVL and $BDCM have offered merchant AEC DSPs for years. A cheaper merchant DSP hasn’t broken the integrated model so far. Credo’s moat is the system not just the DSP. Credo owns qualification, SerDes, AEC patents, ETC which allow it to keep the full cable end to end. It has deep relationships with five hyperscalers and growing engagement with neoclouds. Anyone that knows the market knows $MXL might try to get a piece of the market but unlikely to get a material piece.

For those scoring at home, THREE c-suite executives have "retired" from their positions at $KNSL thus far this year (COO, CIO, and now the CFO). At a minimum this is a pretty glaring indictment of the company's growth prospects or it could signal something far more troubling. Either way, it raises a lot of questions for a company that has operated with a highly insular culture for a long time.

$HAWK came public with MS and GS at the peak of the $PL and $SPCX space pump cycle. Investors likely bought the stock blindly without really understanding the business. Alas, the shareholder base is now transitioning into strong hands. I think those buyers will be rewarded.

BMO on $CENX: “Discussions centered on tariff uncertainty, Oklahoma smelter progress, current operations, improving free cash flow conversion & Hawesville monetization. Meanwhile, with CENX trading at 2.5x current spot-based EBITDA, valuation is compelling in our view.” 2.5X! https://t.co/3jKwcyjheE

@trades021 I think Curtis at $BHB would like to be an acquirer. $LFGP is a logical target but Josephine will only sell if she can run a combined bank. Curtis has other targets. I’ve been a small holder only from back when Joe Murphy more thoughtfully ran this bank. He retired in 2013.
