B. Riley Financial Receives Notice from Nasdaq Over Filing Delay

B. Riley Financial, Inc. has been issued a delinquency notification by Nasdaq for not filing its annual report on time. On April 3, 2025, Nasdaq informed the company that it was not in compliance with Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) due to its failure to submit the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024, according to Nasdaq.com.

Despite the notification, B. Riley Financial's securities will continue to be listed on Nasdaq for the time being. The company needs to present a compliance plan by June 2, 2025, to outline its strategy for meeting Nasdaq's requirements. If the plan is accepted, Nasdaq may allow an extension, giving B. Riley until September 29, 2025, to finalize the filing. Notably, this isn't the first instance of delays; Reuters reported that B. Riley faced similar issues in the previous two years, impacting investor confidence as reflected in a recent dip in share prices.

The company has publicly stated its commitment to resolving the issue promptly. B. Riley Financial intends to file the necessary Form 10-K well ahead of the planned compliance plan submission deadline, signaling its proactive approach to meeting the stock exchange's expectations and maintaining its listing standing.

Dell Technologies has revised its annual adjusted profit forecast upward to $9.40 per share, a slight increase from an earlier prediction of $9.30. This adjustment comes on the back of robust demand for AI-powered servers, signaling strength in a critical segment of its business. According to Reuters, this optimism is helping to propel Dell's role in the burgeoning AI infrastructure market. A remarkable surge in AI server orders marked this quarter for Dell, with $12.1 billion recorded, outpacing the entirety of fiscal 2025's shipments. The backlog now stands at $14.4 billion, pointing to sustained demand. Additionally, Dell's Infrastructure Solutions Group has seen its revenue grow by 12%, further underscoring the increased adoption of AI technologies. To accelerate AI infrastructure adoption, Dell recently introduced advanced AI servers featuring Nvidia's Blackwell Ultra chips. These developments have not gone unnoticed by investors, as Dell's stock rose nearly 20% following these announcements, reflecting confidence in the company’s strategic direction. This growth underscores Dell's focus on AI, addressing the evolving needs of enterprise customers in this rapidly expanding field.

UiPath's latest earnings report has sent its stock soaring, as the company smashed Wall Street estimates in its recent quarterly performance. The automation software maker reported adjusted earnings per share of $0.12 for the third quarter, far surpassing analyst expectations of $0.07. Reuters noted that this result comes alongside revenue figures hitting $325.9 million, exceeding predictions of $315.6 million. In addition to its strong earnings performance, UiPath also reported a year-over-year increase of 24% in its Annual Recurring Revenue, which reached $1.38 billion. Such figures reflect robust customer retention and growth momentum. This success in key financial metrics has spurred a remarkable boost in share price, with UiPath's stock climbing over 26% to close at a 52-week high of $25.04 per share. UiPath's rise is partly attributed to its successful integration of generative AI into its automation platform, which has been well-received by enterprise clients.

Shoe Carnival Advances Premium Brand Strategy Amid Cautious FY25 Outlook

39 minutes agoSCVL

Shoe Carnival has announced plans to step up its investment in premium brand shoes while keeping its annual financial guidance steady. As part of this strategy, the company will rebrand 175 stores into Shoe Station outlets over the next two years, ultimately aiming to have 218 Shoe Station stores—making up 51% of its current fleet, according to their investor relations page. The expansion comes with a projected decrease in operating income of $20 to $25 million in Fiscal 2025, reflecting expenses related to store closures, new construction, and customer acquisition. This translates to an estimated drop of $0.65 in earnings per share for the same fiscal year. Despite these short-term impacts, Shoe Carnival expects the rebannered stores to boost net sales by over 10% and increase profit contributions by over 20% by Fiscal 2027. For Fiscal 2025, Shoe Carnival has issued a conservative guidance, anticipating net sales between $1.15 billion and $1.23 billion, with GAAP earnings per share ranging from $1.60 to $2.10. These projections account for the initial costs related to the rebranding initiative. Meanwhile, as reported by fibre2fashion.com, Shoe Carnival's shares were last traded at $18.44, reflecting a slight decline from the previous session.

El Pollo Loco Fends Off Biglari Advances with Shareholder Rights Plan

54 minutes agoLOCO

El Pollo Loco Holdings, Inc. recently took decisive action amidst growing pressure from activist investor Sardar Biglari and his affiliates. In August 2023, the company's Board of Directors adopted a limited-duration shareholder rights plan. This move was made after Biglari Capital Corp. rapidly increased its stake in the company to 11.3% of outstanding shares. The initiative, effective immediately and expiring in August 2024, is designed to protect shareholder interests by preventing any external entity from gaining control without providing adequate value to existing shareholders. Following the implementation of the rights plan, Biglari entities continued to expand their holdings in El Pollo Loco. Between August 14 and August 22, 2024, they purchased approximately $4.5 million worth of shares, with individual share prices ranging from $12.47 to $13.59. This acquisition reflects Biglari's ongoing interest in influencing the fast-food chain's strategic path. In October 2024, El Pollo Loco received an unsolicited acquisition proposal from Biglari Capital, as noted by Investing.com. This indication of interest is currently being evaluated by the company's board with the help of financial and legal advisors. While no timeline has been set, these developments underscore the significant shareholder activism El Pollo Loco is currently facing, potentially leading to strategic alterations within the company.
