Zhongji Innolight (SHE:300308) $7 Billion Hong Kong Plan Would Equal 84% of Its Asset Base

Zhongji Innolight is close to Chinese regulatory approval for a Hong Kong share sale of about $7 billion, people familiar with the matter said. At Wednesday’s Shenzhen close, a sale made entirely of new stock at the same price would dilute existing holders by roughly 3.5%, while raising gross proceeds equal to 84% of the company’s assets at the end of March.

Angelini wraps $4.1 billion buyout of Catalyst Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ:CPRX) at 9x projected 2026 EBITDA

Angelini Pharma wrapped up its $4.1 billion takeover of Catalyst Pharmaceuticals, Inc. before the U.S. market opened Wednesday, taking the rare-disease drugmaker private. That price tag overstates the real cost. Stripping out Catalyst’s estimated net cash, the deal gives an enterprise value around $3.24 billion, or about 9 times expected 2026 adjusted EBITDA—a measure of operating profit before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization.

SoFi’s 2026 Profit Target Puts 38% Margin in Focus for H2

SoFi Technologies, Inc. started Wednesday with some pressure on a break-even line deep in its 2026 outlook. To hit $1.6 billion in full-year adjusted EBITDA—a non-GAAP figure, excluding taxes, certain financing, and non-cash costs—the company would need that metric to reach about 37.7% of second-half revenue. That compares to 31.3% in the first quarter and an implied 30% for the second.

U.S. stock futures climbed Wednesday after a drop in producer prices, but traders were focused on who was leading gains. Nasdaq 100 futures were up about 0.5% before the open, outpacing S&P 500 and Dow futures, as cooling inflation and more signs of AI-related spending pushed investors back into tech.

Mae Lao PM2.5 Nearly Doubles Nathrop’s as “Good” Ratings Mask Different Risks

Mae Lao’s PM2.5 reading was nearly twice Nathrop’s on Wednesday, yet both locations carried IQAir’s “Good” air-quality label. For investors and operators using environmental data to assess travel and outdoor-business risk, the more important finding is that each result rests on one anonymous monitoring station.

Ondas (NASDAQ:ONDS) volume surge gives DZYNE sellers capacity to clear 40 million-share block

Ondas Inc. had generated enough market-sale capacity by Tuesday for each DZYNE seller group to have disposed of its full share of the 39,999,998-share immediate consideration block, calculations based on the acquisition contracts and reported trading volume show. The public record does not show whether the sellers used any of that capacity.

IBM (NYSE:IBM) slides as SEC data point to 24% hit in key mainframe, support units

International Business Machines Corporation shares dropped 25.2% Tuesday after early results came up short of estimates.

American Airlines Group Inc. enters Wednesday’s premarket with fuel exposure that looks unusually large beside its equity value. A sustained 10-cent-per-gallon increase in jet fuel would add about $450 million to annual expense, equal to 4.3% of the carrier’s $10.36 billion market capitalization, according to a Reuters calculation based on its latest filing and Tuesday’s market value.

Glencore (LON:GLEN) counts on Congo for copper recovery as mining-code risk heats up

Glencore’s first-quarter copper jump was almost entirely driven by its two mines in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Kamoto Copper Company and Mutanda delivered 27,400 tonnes out of the company’s 31,700-tonne year-on-year growth, or 86.4%, according to company data. That concentration puts Glencore’s production at risk if there’s a new dispute over mining laws in Kinshasa.
