The president lashed out over a vote on insider trading.

Republican Josh Hawley has responded to Donald Trump’s rage-fueled criticism that he is a “second-tier Senator.” Trump fired off a furious Truth Social post on Wednesday after Hawley was the only Republican to vote in a committee bill to ban insider trading on stocks by lawmakers, presidents and vice presidents, and also prevent them from owning stocks. “Why would one ‘Republican,’ Senator Josh Hawley from the Great State of Missouri, join with all of the Democrats to block a Review, sponsored by Senator Rick Scott, and with the support of almost all other Republicans, of Nancy Pelosi’s Stock Trading over the last 25 years,“ Trump posted.

Euronet Worldwide Reports Second Quarter 2025 Financial Results - Highlighted by 13% Operating Income Growth

Digital growth strategy accelerated with the announced acquisition of leading credit card issuing platformRen signs agreement with top tier United States bankMoney Transfer expands digital remittance through Google partnershipMoney Transfer enters Japanese market with acquisition of Kyodai RemittanceOperating margin expansion of 112 basis pointsLEAWOOD, Kan., July 30, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Euronet ("Euronet" or the "Company") (NASDAQ:EEFT), a global leader in payments processing and cross-border transactions, announced today second quarter 2025 financial results.Euronet reports the following consolidated results for the second quarter 2025 compared with the same period of 2024:Revenues of $1,074.3 million, a 9% increase from $986.2 million (6% increase on a constant currency1 basis).Operating income of $158.6 million, an 18% increase from $134.3 million (13% increase on a constant currency basis).Adjusted EBITDA2 of $206.2 million, a 16% increase from $178.2 million (11% increase on a constant currency basis).Net income attributable to Euronet of $97.6 million, or $2.27 diluted earnings per share, compared with $83.1 million, or $1.73 diluted earnings per share.Adjusted earnings per share3 of $2.56, a 14% increase from $2.25. See the reconciliation of non-GAAP items in the attached financial schedules. "I'm very pleased with the business' constant currency operating profit growth of 13% and the margin expansion of 112 basis points—on its own, this is exciting. But, I'm more excited about our accomplishments to further our digital strategy through the acquisition of a leading credit card issuing platform – CoreCard - and the signing of a Ren agreement with one of the top three banks in the United States. The acquisition of CoreCard fits nicely with our Ren platform. As described in a separate press release, this is not just a credit issuing platform, it's a platform serving leading brands in the US, processing at scale, tried and tested. This premier product gives us yet more opportunity to go after the $10 billion issuing market where the market growth rates are much stronger outside the United States, which aligns strongly with our global business where more than 75% of our revenues are from outside the United States. Moreover, another exciting aspect of the issuing business is its margin opportunity, nearing 50 percent. It's these kinds of initiatives that have contributed to our 20-year double digit growth rate and will continue to drive future growth – focused on digital payments. This acquisition is directly in line with our strategy to shift a stronger mix of our business toward the digital economy. Not only did we advance our digital agenda with the credit issuing platform, we just signed an agreement with one of the top three banks in the United States for the deployment of our Ren ATM operating and switching product. While we have had many successes with Ren outside the US, this is not just the first agreement in the US we've signed, but it is with super impressive top-tiered bank – a real testament to the value proposition of Ren", said Michael J. Brown, Euronet's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.Segment and Other ResultsThe EFT Processing Segment reports the following results for the second quarter 2025 compared with the same period or date in 2024:Revenues of $338.5 million, an 11% increase from $305.4 million (6% increase on a constant currency basis).Operating income of $84.6million, a 6% increase from $79.9 million (1% increase on a constant currency basis).Adjusted EBITDA of $110.6 million, a 5% increase from $105.0 million (no change on a constant currency basis).Total of 57,326 installed ATMs as of June 30, 2025, a 5% increase from 54,736. We operated 56,760 active ATMs as of June 30, 2025, a 5% increase from 54,005 as of June 30, 2024.Constant currency revenue, operating income, and adjusted EBITDA growth in the second quarter 2025 was driven by market expansion, growth across most existing markets and the addition of access fees and an increase in interchange fees in certain markets. The epay Segment reports the following results for the Q2 2025 compared with the same period or date in 2024:Revenues of $280.1 million, a 7% increase from $260.9 million (5% increase on a constant currency basis).Operating income of $31.1 million, a 19% increase from $26.2 million (17% increase on a constant currency basis).Adjusted EBITDA of $32.8 million, a 17% increase from $28.0 million (15% increase on a constant currency basis).Transactions of 1,107 million, consistent with prior year.POS terminals of approximately 721,000 as of June 30, 2025, a 3% increase from 703,000.Retailer locations of approximately 354,000 as of June 30, 2025, a 4% increase from 340,000.Constant currency revenue growth was driven by continued payments and digital media growth. Operating income and adjusted EBITDA grew faster than revenue, driven by a shift in product mix and effective operating expense management. Transaction growth from payments and digital media was offset by a decrease in low margin mobile transactions in India.The Money Transfer Segment reports the following results for the Q2 2025 compared with the same period or date in 2024:Revenues of $457.9 million, a 9% increase from $421.8 million (6% increase on a constant currency basis).Operating income of $65.6 million, a 39% increase from $47.3 million (33% increase on a constant currency basis).Operating margin expansion of 296 basis pointsAdjusted EBITDA of $71.6 million, a 33% increase from $54.0 million (28% increase on a constant currency basis).Total transactions of 46.1 million, a 4% increase from 44.3 million.Total digital transactions of 5.8 million, a 29% increase from 4.5 million.Network locations of approximately 631,000 as of June 30, 2025, an 8% increase from approximately 586,000.Constant currency revenue growth was primarily driven by growth in cross-border transactions, partially offset by a decrease in intra-US transactions. Direct-to-consumer digital transactions grew by 29%, reflecting continued consumer demand for digital products. Operating income and adjusted EBITDA growth outpaced revenue growth due to gross margin expansion and leverage of scale. Additionally, the Money Transfer segment continued to expand both its market footprint through the acquisition of a 60% interest in Kyodai Remittance as well as its industry leading global payments network to now reach 4.1 billion bank accounts, 3.2 billion wallet accounts and 631,000 payment locations.Corporate and Other reports $22.7 million of expense for the second quarter 2025 compared with $19.1 million for the second quarter 2024. The increase in corporate expenses is largely from the increase in long-term share-based compensation.Balance Sheet and Financial PositionUnrestricted cash and cash equivalents on hand was $1,329.3 million as of June 30, 2025, compared to $1,393.6 million as of March 31, 2025. Total indebtedness was $2,438.1 million as of June 30, 2025, compared to $2,202.5 million as of March 31, 2025. Availability under the Company's revolving credit facilities was approximately $884.2 million as of June 30, 2025. The change in net cash is the result of cash generated from operations, working capital fluctuations and share repurchases of $2.3 million shares for $247 million during the second quarter.OutlookTaking into consideration recent trends in the business and the global economy, the Company anticipates its 2025 adjusted EPS will grow 12% to 16% year-over-year, consistent with its 10- and 20-year compounded annualized growth rates. This outlook does not include any changes that may develop in foreign exchange rates, interest rates or other unforeseen factors.Non-GAAP MeasuresIn addition to the results presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, the Company presents non-GAAP financial measures, such as constant currency financial measures, operating income, adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted earnings per share. These measures should be used in addition to, and not a substitute for, revenues, operating income, net income and earnings per share computed in accordance with U.S. GAAP. We believe that these non-GAAP measures provide useful information to investors regarding the Company's performance and overall results of operations. These non-GAAP measures are also an integral part of the Company's internal reporting and performance assessment for executives and senior management. The non-GAAP measures used by the Company may not be comparable to similarly titled non-GAAP measures used by other companies. The attached schedules provide a full reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure.The Company does not provide a reconciliation of its forward-looking non-GAAP measures to GAAP due to the inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying certain amounts that are necessary for GAAP and the related GAAP and non-GAAP reconciliation, including adjustments that would be necessary for foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations and other charges reflected in the Company's reconciliation of historic numbers, the amount of which, based on historical experience, could be significant. (1) Constant currency financial measures are computed as if foreign currency exchange rates did not change from the prior period. This information is provided to illustrate the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on the Company's results when compared to the prior period.(2) Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income excluding, to the extent incurred in the period, interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation, amortization, share-based compensation and other non-cash purchase accounting adjustments, non-operating or non-recurring items that are considered expenses or income under U.S. GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA represents a performance measure and is not intended to represent a liquidity measure.(3) Adjusted earnings per share is defined as diluted U.S. GAAP earnings per share excluding, to the extent incurred in the period, the tax-effected impacts of: a) foreign currency exchange gains or losses, b) share-based compensation, c) acquired intangible asset amortization, d) non-cash income tax expense, e) non-cash investment gain f) other non-operating or non-recurring items and g) dilutive shares relate to the Company's convertible bonds. Adjusted earnings per share represent a performance measure and is not intended to represent a liquidity measure. Conference Call and Slide PresentationEuronet Worldwide will host an analyst conference call on July 31, 2025, at 9:00 a.m. Eastern Time to discuss these results. The call may also include discussion of Company developments on the Company's operations, forward-looking information, and other material information about business and financial matters.

Cadence To Pay $140 Million For Selling Chip Design Tech To Blacklisted Chinese University

Cadence To Pay $140 Million For Selling Chip Design Tech To Blacklisted Chinese University Authored by Bill Pan via The Epoch Times (emphasis ours),Cadence Design Systems, a leading developer of electronic design automation (EDA) software and hardware, has agreed to pay a $140 million fine to settle claims that it illegally sold semiconductor design technology to a Chinese military university on the U.S. government’s export blacklist.The logo of Cadence Design Systems outside the company's offices in San Jose, Calif., on Jan. 31, 2020. Stephen Nellis/ReutersThe San Jose-based technology company admitted wrongdoing as part of a plea agreement announced on July 28 by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of California.In the agreement, Cadence admitted to selling $45.3 million worth of export-controlled products and services to China’s National University of Defense Technology (NUDT) without a license to do so. The university, established and supervised by the Chinese Communist Party’s Central Military Commission, was added to the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Entity List in 2015 for using American-origin components to build supercomputers to simulate nuclear blasts and other military activities.According to prosecutors, from February 2015 to April 2021, employees of Cadence’s China-based subsidiary sold and installed EDA hardware to NUDT’s campus. University personnel were also able to download EAD software and intellectual property from Cadence’s portals, even though Cadence employees knew NUDT was a blacklisted entity.Internal company communications revealed that Cadence employees were informed by their export control officer on the day NUDT was added to the Entity List, prosecutors said. Nevertheless, they continued working with a front company known as CSCC, an alias for NUDT.In one instance, Cadence’s then-head of sales in China instructed colleagues to refer to their customer as CSCC in English and NUDT only in Chinese characters to obscure the nature of the transactions, writing that “the subject [was] too sensitive,” according to prosecutors.Cadence has agreed to pay nearly $118 million in criminal penalties. In parallel, the Commerce Department resolved a civil enforcement action with Cadence, resulting in an additional $95 million in civil fines.As part of a coordinated settlement, the Departments of Justice and Commerce agreed to credit a portion of Cadence’s payments toward the other agency’s fines. After accounting for cross-crediting, Cadence will pay more than $140 million in combined criminal and civil penalties and asset forfeitures.In addition, the company has agreed to a three-year probationary period, during which it must enhance export compliance protocols, cooperate with any ongoing investigations, and submit to government audits every year.U.S. Attorney Craig H. Missakian of the Northern District of California called the settlement a “positive step” toward demonstrating “corporate responsibility.”“Export controls safeguard America’s advanced technological know-how from falling into the wrong hands, which is particularly important in the Silicon Valley as the epicenter of groundbreaking innovation,” Missakian said in a statement.In a notice filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, Cadence said it is “pleased to have reached these settlements” and “believes they are in the best interests of Cadence, its customers and its stockholders.”The plea agreement still needs a federal judge’s approval.China remains the world’s largest market for semiconductors and related technologies, but rising national security concerns have led to increased scrutiny and restrictions on American firms doing business there.Some of those restrictions have been relaxed recently. Earlier this month, the Commerce Department told Cadence, Synopsys, and Germany’s Siemens that it was lifting the requirement to obtain a license before exporting EDA tools to China.The policy change comes as part of the agreement reached during trade talks in London and Geneva, aimed at easing trade tensions and rolling back escalating tariffs. In return, China agreed to resume exports of rare earth elements and the magnets made from them, which are critical to both defense and high-tech manufacturing industries.

How Sources of Dietary Fat Influence Cancer Growth in Obesity

Obesity elevates the risk for at least 13 major cancers, including those of the breast, colon and liver. It also impairs immune responses that target tumors and are stimulated by cancer immunotherapies. But it has long been unclear whether these effects stem from the sheer adiposity--or mass of fat--in people living with obesity or from the specific dietary fats they consume.
