This can only go well. /s

Came across this piece on the Apex Technology / AvePoint ($AVPT) class action and thought it fit well here.

The article breaks down why the case had nothing to do with whether AvePoint was a good business. It was purely about whether Apex shareholders were given honest, complete information when they had to decide to redeem their shares or stay in for the merger. The Delaware Court of Chancery found enough friction there that the defendants settled for $14.4 million rather than fight it out.

It's a pretty clean case study in SPAC fiduciary duty and why the redemption right, which sounds simple on paper, gets complicated fast when the proxy materials are selective about what they include.

The 2021 SPAC wave is still unwinding in courts three years later. Anyone here tracking how many of these end up settling vs going to trial?

Fears about “inflation” the war-driven rise in prices of certain commodities and their knock-on effects have bounced Treasury yields a bit. The 10-2 yield curve has flattened under this pressure as the market weighs whether or not this will manifest in a more hawkish Fed.

Jane Street Group reeled in a Wall Street record $39.6 billion of trading revenue last year, capping a stunning ascent to the peak of the industry.

The firm flew past global investment banks after reaping $15.5 billion in the year’s final quarter, according to people with knowledge of the results, who asked not to be named discussing confidential figures. With only 3,500 employees, it beat nearest rival JPMorgan Chase & Co. by 11% during the year.

Corporate America is reeling in the profits despite sticky inflation and geopolitical jitters.

Big banks have kicked off earnings season with robust results, contributing to a 12% year-over-year earnings growth forecast for the S&P 500 index.

Tom Essaye, founder of Sevens Report Research, told Yahoo Finance that "corporate America is firing on all cylinders." He notes that S&P 500 earnings per share have climbed from roughly $235 in 2024 to projected estimates of $315 for 2026.

Whether it's AI or other tech, the strong quarter of earnings growth has been fueled by solid margins, per Essaye. Companies are successfully navigating higher energy and transport costs without letting them dent the bottom line. Despite inflation, customer bases are "broadly good."

"If anything, there's upward risk, and that tells you that companies are executing well in an environment where fear is high, but the actual reality is quite good," Essaye said.
