Sony (SNE, $50.11) and AT&T (T, $31.12) to Sell GSN Games

Sony (SNE, $50.11) and AT&T (T, $31.12) to Sell GSN Games

Sony Pictures Entertainment and AT&T have put casino game maker, GSN Games, on the bidding block a few months ago and awaiting the first round of results. It should be noted that the sale is limited only to the gaming unit and does not extend to the GSN cabler, also jointly owned by Sony and AT&T.

Sony wants to explore the market in terms of what the gaming outfit, headed by GSN president-CEO Mark Feldman, can bear. On the other hand, AT&T sees this as an opportunity to sell off no-core assets to reduce its mountain of debt (close to $170 billion).

Producing a range of branded gaming titles, the partners are optimistic that the bid will yield results in the $600-$700 million range.

Currently, Sony owns 58% of the company while the remaining 42% is held by AT&T. The sale process underway could lead to Sony buying out AT&T’s stake, or it may also attract new investors to the unit.

IGV has rallied about 8–9% in the last 6 trading days, while SOXX has dropped about 8%, giving software a +16.6 percentage‑point edge—the largest 6‑day software‑over‑semi outperformance ever.[barchart]​ This comes right after software lagged semis by almost −15 percentage points into late January, the widest gap since 2008, and as hedge‑fund short exposure to U.S. software and services hit a record ~3.8% of market cap.
Crude’s explosive war‑driven spike faded on March 9 because the market suddenly started to price less extreme, shorter‑lived supply risk and more policy intervention, not a multi‑month shortage. WTI, which had briefly traded above 115–120 dollars on Iran‑war headlines and Strait of Hormuz fears, slid back toward the high‑80s as traders digested G7 reserve‑release talk, Trump’s comments about a “brief” war, and the reality that prices had run far ahead of fundamentals.
Shares of ARQ plunged approximately 27.50% in premarket trading on March 10, 2026, from a prior close of $3.20 to roughly $2.32. The primary catalyst was a deeply disappointing Q4 2025 earnings report, which revealed a net loss of $50.0 million for the quarter versus a net loss of $1.3 million in Q4 2024.
RAIL shares fell approximately 15% in premarket trading on March 10, 2026, following a steep after-hours reaction to disappointing Q4 2025 earnings results released after the close on March 9. The primary catalyst was a significant revenue miss: Q4 revenue came in at $125.6 million, well below consensus estimates near $144–$160 million, representing an 8.8% year-over-year decline.
ZVRA shares surged approximately +17.86% on March 10, 2026, driven by a blockbuster Q4 and full-year 2025 earnings report released before the market open. Primary catalyst: Q4 2025 EPS of $0.19 crushed the consensus estimate of $0.05 — a 280% beat — while revenue of $34.1 million exceeded forecasts by 21.57%.
LITE surged +14.73% on Monday, March 9, 2026, closing at $640.69 versus a prior close of $558.44 on March 6. The primary catalyst was the landmark $2 billion strategic investment by NVIDIA announced March 2, with the market continuing to price in its full implications following a brief post-announcement pullback.
Shares of BNTX fell approximately 22% on Tuesday, March 10, 2026, following a dual shock of disappointing full-year guidance and a surprise leadership upheaval. The primary catalyst was BioNTech's Q4 2025 earnings report, which included a 2026 revenue outlook of €2.0–€2.3 billion — well below analyst consensus and signaling continued pressure from declining COVID-19 vaccine demand.
CNC shares fell approximately 10% during Tuesday's session, extending a prolonged selloff in the managed care sector. The primary catalyst is intensifying investor concern over federal Medicaid and ACA funding cuts tied to the "One Big Beautiful Bill Act" (OBBBA), which threatens to shrink the government-sponsored insurance pools that Centene depends on for the majority of its revenue.
Technology recently peaked near 35% of the S&P 500 and has slipped over the last year, while Energy plus Materials remain near historically low combined weight at roughly 6%, which suggests the gap is still unusually wide.
Average daily equity purchases by retail investors on S&P 500 down days in 2026 are at the highest level on record, running about 100% above the peak intensity seen during the 2021 meme‑stock boom.
Over the past two weeks, PLTR has climbed from roughly the high‑130s to the mid‑150s, a gain of about 12–14%, with a series of strong up days between March 2 and March 6.
AVAV shares dropped approximately 10% in premarket trading on March 11, 2026, following a disappointing Q3 fiscal 2026 earnings report released after the prior session's close. Q3 revenue of $408.0 million came in far below analyst consensus of approximately $475–$488 million, representing a massive top-line miss.
KOS shares are down approximately 20% in premarket trading on March 11, 2026, having shed roughly 20.31% across the last two sessions (Tuesday close and premarket Wednesday). The primary catalyst is Kosmos Energy's announcement of a massive $185.25 million public equity offering priced at $1.90 per share — a steep discount to recent trading levels.
NBIS shares surged approximately +10% in premarket trading on March 11, 2026, from a prior close of $96.32. The primary catalyst is the imminent addition of Nebius Group to the Bloomberg 500 (B500) Index, effective prior to the open of trading on Thursday, March 12, 2026.
ORCL shares surged approximately +10.49% in Wednesday's premarket session, trading around $165.07 versus Tuesday's closing price of $149.40. The primary catalyst is Oracle's Q3 FY2026 earnings beat, with adjusted EPS of $1.79 vs. the $1.70 consensus estimate, and revenue of $17.2 billion topping the $16.92 billion forecast.
Shares of AngloGold Ashanti plc (AU) are down approximately 5.00% in early trading on March 11, 2026, falling from a prior close of $108.26 to around $102.85. The primary driver is a renewed pullback in gold prices, which has weighed heavily on gold mining equities across the board.
HMY shares are trading down approximately 13% in early session trading on March 11, 2026, following the release of the company's H1 FY26 interim results. Revenue of R44.4 billion (~US$2.6 billion) missed analyst consensus estimates of R47.56 billion, a significant shortfall that spooked investors.
FICO fell over 9% today, extending a multi‑week downtrend that has already knocked the stock more than 7% lower since its last earnings update. The decline comes despite strong recent financial results, including double‑digit revenue growth, expanding margins, and repeated earnings beats.
RERE fell roughly 10% today, giving back a portion of its strong gains over the past year and month, as traders reacted to fresh earnings and guidance. The company delivered robust Q4 2025 results, with revenue growth near 30% year over year and earnings per share ahead of consensus estimates, underscoring continued operational momentum.
Top hedge funds like Millennium, Citadel, and Bridgewater showed limited direct accumulation of penny stocks in Q4 2025 13F filings, but rotations into biotech, energy, and defense sectors highlight indirect interest in low-priced plays under $5. New entries and increased positions focused on volatile sectors like biotech (e.g., ABCL) and energy (e.g., AMPY), with full exits from overvalued names signaling a hunt for undervalued pennies amid market uncertainty.
