Digimarc Revolutionizes Audio Content Authentication & Protection with Next-Generation Digital Watermarking
'The explosion of digital and AI-generated audio has created unprecedented challenges for rights holders, content creators, companies, and governments,' said Riley McCormack, CEO of Digimarc. 'Our next-generation audio watermarking technology stands out by delivering the crucial tools these entities require to confront these pressing challenges. It enables precise royalty tracking to protect revenue, robust authorship verification to safeguard both human and AI-generated content from misuse, and best-in-class security and robustness to deter insider threats and safeguard sensitive data. These solutions are engineered for the real world: they secure at scale, preserve audio quality, and perform reliably across diverse platforms and even in the noisiest environments. This is how we help creators, artists, distributors, companies, and governments authenticate and protect their valuable digital assets.'
Digimarc's new audio watermarking technology delivers powerful benefits to multiple industries:
Precise royalty tracking and usage reporting: Unmatched accuracy in tracking audio content across TV, radio, and streaming services enables artists, labels, and distributors to maximize revenue through precise royalty payments and transparent usage insights, ensuring their financial interests are protected.
Robust authorship verification: As generative AI fuels a surge in synthetic audio, Digimarc's audio watermarking safeguards both human-created and AI-generated content—from music and podcasts to voice-cloned material—shielding it from misuse, counterfeiting, and unauthorized distribution.
Leak detection: To combat the risk of confidential information being leaked and distributed without permission, Digimarc's next-generation audio watermarks can be deployed to ensure organizations and governments can trace the source and take appropriate action, effectively deterring insider threats and safeguarding sensitive data.
Built on decades of digital watermarking expertise, Digimarc's latest innovations set a new standard for audio watermarking performance and reliability. Key capabilities include:
Every year, billions of dollars in audio royalties go unpaid due to stripped metadata, failed fingerprinting in short or noisy clips, and the inefficiencies of manual royalty tracking systems. Digimarc's technology directly addresses this multi-billion-dollar gap with a scalable, reliable solution that empowers broadcasters, streaming platforms, rights management organizations, and artists to protect their assets and revenues. Additionally, Digimarc's audio watermarks can be used for robust authorship verification across diverse content, including voice, music, podcasts, and audiobooks, as well as in broadcast, streaming, advertising, and dubbing applications, supporting industry efforts to promote trust and accountability.
Brent Phillips, Chief Technology Officer at SourceAudio, stated, 'we consider Digimarc technology best-in-class and vital to our business growth. The previous Digimarc audio watermark technology literally unlocked an entirely new vertical for us, and we cannot wait to see how far we can take the new tech. Managing audio rights across diverse platforms and formats demands solutions that can keep up with the speed, scale, and complexity of modern distribution. Digimarc's audio watermarking is completely inaudible. It has passed every "golden ears" test we've thrown at it, yet it is reliably detectable in clips as short as one second—even after compression, remixing, or voiceovers. With Digimarc's watermarks being both inaudible and detectable in such short clips, they outperform other watermarking and fingerprinting technologies, which require longer audio segments for accurate identification.'

Why Texas Instruments Plunged Double Digits Today
Key Points Texas Instruments beat analyst estimates in the second quarter. However, Q3 guidance was more conservative than optimists had anticipated. Still, analysts were mixed after results, with some actually raising their price targets even though the stock sold off. 10 stocks we like better than Texas Instruments › Shares of auto and industrial chip giant Texas Instruments (NASDAQ: TXN) plunged doubled digits on Wednesday, falling 13.3% as of 2:22 p.m. ET. That's a pretty big drop for what is considered a stable, blue chip company, especially after an earnings "beat" last night. However, the stock had rallied hard since April on optimism over a strong cyclical recovery in the industrial chip arena. We're talking a 50% gain between the stock's April lows and recent highs. Therefore, when the company guided for continued growth but perhaps not as much as some had hoped for in Q3, the lack of a "perfect" recovery sent the stock tumbling. Four out of five TI markets are accelerating their recovery In the second quarter, Texas Instruments reported 16.5% revenue growth to $4.45 billion, with earnings per share rallying 15.6% to $1.44. Both figures beat analyst expectations. However, the problem came in management's third-quarter guidance, in which the company forecasts $4.45 billion to $4.80 billion in revenue and $1.36 to $1.60 in EPS. While those figures would mark quarter-over-quarter growth, the stock had apparently been pricing in a swifter recovery. On the conference call with analysts, management elaborated that four out of the company's five main end markets were all recovering strongly, with industrial chips up in the high teens, personal electronics up 25%, enterprise chips up 40%, and communications equipment up more than 50% year over year. However, the company's auto chip segment -- its second-largest behind industrial chips -- only grew mid-single digits, and actually fell quarter over quarter. CFO Haviv Ilan made the point that autos had gone into its downturn in 2023, about a year later than industrial chips, and that the recovery there was shallower. Recent tariff announcements have also greatly affected the auto sector, throwing a wrench into a cyclical recovery. TI receives mixed reviews in the aftermath Sell-side analysts had a mixed reaction to TI's earnings report and guidance, with some raising their price targets and others lowering them. The most positive was Argus, which raised its price target on the stock from $210 to $250 relative to the stock's $187 stock price as of this writing. But DZ Bank slapped a $158 price target on the stock and a "sell" rating. TI's stock doesn't look particularly cheap on the surface at 34 times this year's earnings estimates, but TI is also making a big investment in U.S. manufacturing, which is elevating costs today. Still, that investment could prove to be a great advantage and asset over the long term. Therefore, investors in the stock should continue to hold, while those who don't own TI may want to investigate entering the newly discounted chip giant.

G-III, Tecnoglass, MYR Group, Jabil, and Dentsply Sirona Shares Are Soaring, What You Need To Know
What Happened? A number of stocks jumped in the afternoon session after a new trade agreement between the United States and Japan spurred a broad market rally. The positive sentiment swept across markets after it was announced the U.S. and Japan had reached a new trade deal. The agreement included a 15% tariff on Japanese goods imported into the U.S. and a commitment from Japan to invest $550 billion in the U.S. and open its markets to American cars and agricultural products. This development boosted investor confidence and contributed to a widespread rally, lifting stocks across many sectors. The Dow Jones Industrial Average and the S&P 500 both posted gains, creating a favorable environment that likely benefited individual stocks. The stock market overreacts to news, and big price drops can present good opportunities to buy high-quality stocks. Among others, the following stocks were impacted: Apparel and Accessories company G-III (NASDAQ:GIII) jumped 3.4%. Is now the time to buy G-III? Access our full analysis report here, it's free.

Zooming In On G-III (GIII) G-III's shares are quite volatile and have had 15 moves greater than 5% over the last year. In that context, today's move indicates the market considers this news meaningful but not something that would fundamentally change its perception of the business. The previous big move we wrote about was 6 days ago when the stock gained 3.2% on the news that the second quarter (2025) earnings season got off to a strong start. Quarterly earnings reports released during the week exceeded Wall Street's expectations, fueling investor confidence. Around 50 S&P 500 components reported, with 88% of those exceeding analysts' expectations, FactSet data revealed. Investors were also encouraged by several positive reports that painted a picture of a resilient consumer. One key report revealed that shoppers increased their spending at U.S. retailers more than economists had anticipated. Precisely, retail sales increased 0.6% from May, surpassing the 0.2% estimate. This robust consumer spending is a crucial pillar supporting the economy. Adding to the positive sentiment, the latest data on unemployment claims showed a decrease in the number of workers applying for benefits, signaling that layoffs remain limited and the job market is steady. This combination of strong earnings reports, retail sales, and a solid labor market suggests the economy is navigating challenges successfully. G-III is down 24.2% since the beginning of the year, and at $24.28 per share, it is trading 32.7% below its 52-week high of $36.10 from December 2024. Investors who bought $1,000 worth of G-III's shares 5 years ago would now be looking at an investment worth $2,051.
