A federal judge ruled that a group of former Archegos Capital Management employees, including an analyst who worked closely with founder Bill Hwang, are owed $33 million for losses they suffered when the firm collapsed.
The Wednesday order by US District Judge Alvin Hellerstein puts the 39 ex-Archegos staffers first in line for compensation from Hwang and the firm's former chief financial officer, Patrick Halligan, who were both convicted of fraud last year.

Human remains located after California fireworks warehouse explosion
Investigators have located human remains following an explosion at a Northern California fireworks warehouse, Yolo County said in a statement Friday. Seven were missing after the Tuesday fireworks explosion near Esparto, which gripped the small farming community. It sparked a massive fire that led to other spot fires. Nearby Fourth of July celebrations were called off. The county confirmed that its Coroner's Division was allowed access to the site of the fire incident, and the Coroner's Office has been in contact with the families of those who had been reported missing. No positive identifications have been made, and recovery efforts are still underway, the county said in the statement. Two people were treated for injuries according to officials. Authorities are still investigating the cause of the blast. The warehouse was managed by Devastating Pyrotechnics, which has more than three decades of experience designing and producing fireworks shows in the Bay Area, according to a screenshot of its website before it was taken down. The company, with headquarters in both San Francisco and Esparto, focuses mainly on display fireworks for big productions instead of those for retail. The company said in a statement it would cooperate fully with officials in their investigation. Further south in the state, authorities said that one man was found dead on the scene after a 'fireworks-related blaze' ripped through four homes in a Los Angeles neighborhood Thursday night. A woman was taken to the hospital in critical condition, four others were given treatment for smoke inhalation on the scene and several animals were injured, the Los Angeles Fire Department said in a statement. Fireworks were still erupting in the area when firefighters arrived at the blaze, which they brought under control later that night, according to the Los Angeles Fire Department. The cause of the fire is still being investigated, department spokesperson Lyndsey Lantz said. This is a developing story. Check back for updates as more information becomes available.

Why Investors Need to Take Advantage of These 2 Finance Stocks Now
Two factors often determine stock prices in the long run: earnings and interest rates. Investors can't control the latter, but they can focus on a company's earnings results every quarter. The earnings figure itself is key, but a beat or miss on the bottom line can sometimes be just as, if not more, important. Therefore, investors should consider paying close attention to these earnings surprises, as a big beat can help a stock climb even higher. The Zacks Earnings ESP, or Expected Surprise Prediction, aims to find earnings surprises by focusing on the most recent analyst revisions. The basic premise is that if an analyst reevaluates their earnings estimate ahead of an earnings release, it means they likely have new information that could possibly be more accurate. The core of the ESP model is comparing the Most Accurate Estimate to the Zacks Consensus Estimate, where the resulting percentage difference between the two equals the Expected Surprise Prediction. Now that we understand what the ESP is and how beneficial it can be, let's dive into a stock that currently fits the bill. Prologis (PLD) earns a Zacks Rank #3 right now and its Most Accurate Estimate sits at $1.42 a share, just 12 days from its upcoming earnings release on July 16, 2025. PLD has an Earnings ESP figure of +0.71%, which, as explained above, is calculated by taking the percentage difference between the $1.42 Most Accurate Estimate and the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.41. PLD is just one of a large group of Finance stocks with a positive ESP figure. Pebblebrook Hotel (PEB) is another qualifying stock you may want to consider. Pebblebrook Hotel is a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) stock, and is getting ready to report earnings on July 29, 2025. PEB's Most Accurate Estimate sits at $0.61 a share 25 days from its next earnings release. Pebblebrook Hotel's Earnings ESP figure currently stands at +3.10% after taking the percentage difference between its Most Accurate Estimate and its Zacks Consensus Estimate of $0.59. PLD and PEB's positive ESP metrics may signal that a positive earnings surprise for both stocks is on the horizon. Use the Zacks Earnings ESP Filter to turn up stocks with the highest probability of positively, or negatively, surprising to buy or sell before they're reported for profitable earnings season trading.
