"Partnering with the Philadelphia Union at Subaru Park, Union Power Plant, and WSFS Bank Sportsplex represents an exciting expansion of the Aramark Sports + Entertainment portfolio right here in our hometown of Philadelphia,' said Alison Birdwell, President and CEO of Aramark Sports + Entertainment. 'We are eager to elevate the Major League Soccer fan experience and showcase our commitment to delivering exceptional hospitality and unforgettable moments for the soccer community."

Why Carter's (CRI) Stock Is Nosediving
What Happened? Shares of children's apparel manufacturer Carter's (NYSE:CRI) fell 21.4% in the afternoon session after the company reported disappointing second-quarter earnings, missed profit estimates, and suspended its full-year financial guidance. The children's apparel company posted adjusted earnings of $0.17 per share, falling significantly short of analyst expectations of around $0.37 and marking a steep drop from the $0.76 per share reported a year earlier. While revenue increased slightly by 3.7% to $585.3 million, this was overshadowed by a severe decline in profitability. The company's operating income fell by nearly 90%. Management attributed the poor results to investments in pricing, costs from new stores, and the impact of higher tariffs. The stock market overreacts to news, and big price drops can present good opportunities to buy high-quality stocks. Is now the time to buy Carter's? Access our full analysis report here, it's free. What Is The Market Telling Us Carter's shares are quite volatile and have had 17 moves greater than 5% over the last year. But moves this big are rare even for Carter's and indicate this news significantly impacted the market's perception of the business. The biggest move we wrote about over the last year was 5 months ago when the stock dropped 18.1% on the news that the company reported disappointing Q4 2024 results. Its full-year EPS guidance missed significantly and its EPS guidance for next quarter also fell short of Wall Street's estimates. Revenue was flat, as growth in U.S. Wholesale was offset by declines in U.S. Retail and International segments. Adjusted EBITDA took a hit, with margins shrinking due to higher freight costs and increased promotional spending, which hurt profitability. Management pointed to macroeconomic pressures, high interest rates, and planned pricing investments as ongoing challenges. On the bright side, the company beat analysts' same-store sales expectations, which helped deliver an EPS beat. Still, the weak guidance is weighing on the stock. Carter's is down 52.2% since the beginning of the year, and at $25.72 per share, it is trading 63.8% below its 52-week high of $71.04 from September 2024. Investors who bought $1,000 worth of Carter's shares 5 years ago would now be looking at an investment worth $292.34. Unless you've been living under a rock, it should be obvious by now that generative AI is going to have a huge impact on how large corporations do business. While Nvidia and AMD are trading close to all-time highs, we prefer a lesser-known (but still profitable) semiconductor stock benefiting from the rise of AI.

DEADLINE ALERT: Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP Investigates Claims on Behalf of Investors of Fiserv
NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP, a leading national securities law firm, is investigating potential claims against Fiserv, Inc. ('Fiserv' or the 'Company') (NYSE: FI) and reminds investors of the September 22, 2025 deadline to seek the role of lead plaintiff in a federal securities class action that has been filed against the Company. As detailed below, the complaint alleges that the Company and its executives violated federal securities laws by making false and/or misleading statements Share Faruqi & Faruqi is a leading national securities law firm with offices in New York, Pennsylvania, California and Georgia. The firm has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors since its founding in 1995. See As detailed below, the complaint alleges that the Company and its executives violated federal securities laws by making false and/or misleading statements and/or failing to disclose that: (a) due to cost issues and other problems with its older Payeezy platform, Fiserv forced Payeezy merchants to migrate to its Clover platform; (b) Clover's revenue growth and gross payment volume ('GPV'), the total monetary value of transactions processed through Clover, were temporarily and unsustainably boosted by these forced conversions, which concealed a slowdown in new merchant business; (c) shortly after these conversions, a significant portion of former Payeezy merchants switched to competing solutions due to Clover's high pricing, significant down time, and systematic compatibility issues; (d) as a result of these merchant losses, Clover's GPV growth was significantly slowing, and its revenue growth was unsustainable; and (e) based on the foregoing, Fiserv's positive Class Period statements about Clover's growth strategies, competition, attrition, GPV growth, and business prospects were materially false and misleading. The market began to learn the truth about Defendants' fraud on April 24, 2025. On that date, Fiserv shocked investors by reporting Clover GPV growth of only 8 percent for the first quarter of 2025, a material stepdown from 2024 GPV rates of between 14 and 17 percent. The Company attributed this slowing growth to lower 2025 transaction volumes from Payeezy merchants who had converted to Clover. On this news, Fiserv stock dropped 18.5 percent, closing at $176.90 per share on April 24, 2025. Then, on May 15, 2025, Fiserv disappointed investors by disclosing that GPV growth deceleration would continue throughout 2025. On this news, Fiserv stock dropped 16.2 percent, closing at $159.13 per share on May 15, 2025. Finally, on July 23, 2025, Fiserv lowered the top end of its full-year organic growth guidance range and confirmed that its quarterly organic revenue in the Merchant segment had decelerated to 9 percent year-over-year from 11 percent in the previous quarter. On this news, Fiserv stock dropped 13.9 percent, closing at $143.00 per share on July 23, 2025. The court-appointed lead plaintiff is the investor with the largest financial interest in the relief sought by the class who is adequate and typical of class members who directs and oversees the litigation on behalf of the putative class. Any member of the putative class may move the Court to serve as lead plaintiff through counsel of their choice, or may choose to do nothing and remain an absent class member. Your ability to share in any recovery is not affected by the decision to serve as a lead plaintiff or not. Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP also encourages anyone with information regarding Fiserv's conduct to contact the firm, including whistleblowers, former employees, shareholders and others. To learn more about the Fiserv, Inc. class action, go to or call Faruqi & Faruqi partner Josh Wilson directly at 877-247-4292 or 212-983-9330 (Ext. 1310).

Lionel Messi suspended for skipping the MLS All-Star Game
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — Inter Miami's Lionel Messi and Jordi Alba were suspended one match by Major League Soccer for skipping its All-Star Game, the league announced Friday. Messi and Alba did not suit up for the match between the MLS and Liga MX of Mexico despite being voted to the game. Messi did not play to rest amid a packed schedule and Alba was dealing with a previous injury. Per MLS rules, any player who doesn't participate in the All-Star Game without prior approval from the league is ineligible to compete in their club's next match. The players will miss Miami's home match Saturday against FC Cincinnati, which sits atop the Eastern Conference standings. As Inter Miami awaited the league's decision, both Messi and Alba practiced with the club on Friday in anticipation of playing in Saturday's match. "I know Lionel Messi loves this league," said MLS Commissioner Don Garber. "I don't think there's a player — or anyone — who has done more for Major League Soccer than Messi. I fully understand, respect, and admire his commitment to Inter Miami, and I respect his decision. "Unfortunately, we have a long-standing policy regarding participation in the All-Star Game, and we had to enforce it. It was a very difficult decision." Garber added that the league will re-evaluate the policy and work with players to "determine how the rule should evolve."
