WaFd Survives the Merger. EverBank Controls What It Becomes.

The first sentence of this reverse merger says WaFd survives. Nearly every economic sentence that follows points toward EverBank. The listed WaFd shell remains, takes the EverBank name and issues the shares; EverBank’s owners receive 59.175% of the equity, its directors hold…

IRT’s Centerspace Merger Makes Index Scale Part of the Asset

Independence Realty Trust is offering 3.800 of its shares for each Centerspace share. The apartments matter, but so does the security built around them: more free float, heavier benchmark weight and, management hopes, cheaper capital. That is the merger’s least physical—and most…

NORC gains a cloud credential for government research

FedRAMP certification strengthens the case for considering Data Enclave Gov. It does not turn confidential datasets into an open resource or remove the work of running a research service.

SecureSky buys data context for its managed-response business

The Soveren acquisition adds a view of sensitive data and its movements. Turning that view into a useful security service still requires priorities, ownership and permission to act.

AT&T plans automated wavelength quotes through Connectbase

MediaAlpha Paid US$43m to Retire US$91.4m of Estimated TRA Claims

MediaAlpha’s two tax-agreement buyouts created a US$48.4 million discount against dated liability estimates. That is potentially valuable, but it is not cash the company received: US$43 million actually left the business, one transaction required revolving debt, and about US$32…

Optical Cable turns higher volumes into a wider gross margin

The cable maker's gross profit is growing faster than sales. That is evidence of improving factory economics, not a separate measure of AI demand or a promise that every cost will scale the same way.

MARA’s AI Pivot Is a Portfolio of Site-Level Options

The headline says MARA and Starwood can turn mining campuses into roughly a gigawatt of near-term AI infrastructure. The contract says something more revealing: each property must pass a tenant, engineering and financing test before a ten-business-day choice determines whether…

Interop's t3 deal makes integration part of the messaging sale

SMS, business traffic and emergency alerts will reach an operator through the same commercial partnership. The value lies in the engineering around them, not in treating them as one interchangeable service.

Cycurion’s $800,000 Contract Spend Still Needs a Revenue Bridge

Cycurion has disclosed several new assignments in healthcare, life sciences and public health. The useful question is not whether the awards exist, but how customer spending becomes delivered work, reported revenue, receivables and cash.

AITX’s 14% Payment Drop Does Not Yet Clear the Cash-Flow Test

AITX spent less cash in a selected set of operating categories in August than in July. That is a useful observation, but the company’s own exclusions, timing notes and financing record show why one smaller month cannot yet carry the weight of a cash-flow result.
