BitMart founder says security team ‘severely understaffed’ after new hack

BitMart founder Sheldon Xia said the security team is ‘severely understaffed’ after restructuring, as threats against employees and alleged retaliation by former staff complicated efforts to retain technical personnel. He described the amount in Monday’s hack as small without disclosing a figure, while Bitquery identified about $391,000 in suspicious transfers from wallets mostly linked to BitMart across three blockchains. Bitquery traced these funds to a wallet also implicated in the more than $46 million Mercado Bitcoin hack on Nov. 2. BitMart announced in July it would end trading on Aug. 26 and cease operations in January 2027, and it plans to seek court approval for its restructuring in December or January. Bloomberg reported that the T3 Financial Crime Unit, formed by Tron, Tether and TRM Labs, has disbanded amid a wave of industry hacks.

  • Legendary Investor Who Profited From the 2008 Crisis Unexpectedly Bets on a Teddy Bear Retailer

    Michael Burry, the investor known for shorting ahead of the 2008 financial crisis, is optimistic about Build-A-Bear Workshop (BBW), according to a Substack analysis reported by Business Insider, and he disclosed holding the stock since August 2026. The shares, which topped $75 in 2025, now trade around $25, down more than 50% so far in 2026. Burry argues the market underestimates the company's restructuring and notes that about 25% of its free float is sold short, which could set up a short squeeze. He estimates a market capitalization below $300 million, no financial debt and EBITDA of about $80 million. However, fiscal Q2 2026 revenue fell 7.2% to $115.3 million, and the company cut its full-year revenue forecast to $500–525 million.

  • SATRA – From Neighborhood Stores to a 'Commercial Port'

    SATRA, the Saigon Trade Corporation, is shifting from rapidly adding outlets to restructuring its Satrafoods network.

The system now has 4 Satramart supermarkets and nearly 140 Satrafoods stores, and it is growing wholesale and institutional channels such as Horeca, schools and hospitals. In the first nine months of the year, wholesale revenue rose 150.1% and revenue from customers outside the system rose 86.3%, while sales of Cofidec products through the retail system rose 68.2%. SATRA has also refreshed 30 Satrafoods stores, replaced 81 chillers across 31 outlets and expanded private-label products. Founded in 1995 with 27 member companies, the group now has 40 member units, charter capital of 8,660 billion VND and more than 14,000 employees.

  • 1 Stat That Makes Nike Stock Hard to Ignore

    Nike's stock has fallen 77% over the past five years, while the S&P 500 has risen 67% over the same period, as the company's turnaround takes longer than expected. Despite the price slide, Nike has kept raising its dividend for 24 consecutive years, and the yield now stands at 4.3%. The author notes that revenue growth is likely to slow, with 2027 sales expected to fall by a high-single-digit percentage. The author would still wait before buying shares or adding to a position, and a continued share price decline could negate those dividend gains.

  • Linde delivers a good quarter and puts in a fix for an overhang on the stock

    Linde's third-quarter revenue rose 9.2% to $9.4 billion and adjusted EPS rose 9% to $4.59, beating LSEG consensus of $4.54 and setting quarterly records for sales, operating profit and earnings. Volume rose 2% and price/mix added 3%, while Electronics sales climbed 15% on AI infrastructure demand. Fourth-quarter guidance was slightly light and the shares fell more than 1% on the day; the author says profit-taking after the stock's recovery from a mid-September low could be another reason. The company booked a $425 million restructuring charge, about half for severance and the rest largely tied to Lincare, whose results will now sit in Other rather than the Americas. The author calls it an overall solid quarter, with a full-year outlook in line with expectations.

  • Mercado Bitcoin says phased reopening to begin Monday, will cover losses

    Brazilian crypto exchange Mercado Bitcoin said it will begin restoring customer account access on Monday after a hack that blockchain analysts estimated stole more than $46 million in assets. Initially, customers can only view balances, statements, holdings and investments through the website, while transfers, withdrawals and trading will resume in later phases after independent security testing. The company pledged to use its own funds to replenish affected assets and said more than $15 million in stolen funds has already been frozen with help from the industry. Its trading desk is preparing repurchases in domestic and international markets. The company also cited a $20 million investment from stablecoin issuer Tether, which it said supports operational expansion and a strong cash position.

  • A Major Neocloud Stock Rally May Be Coming. These 3 Stocks Could Be the Biggest Winners.

    Neocloud stocks fell sharply over the past month, with Nebius down 42%, TeraWulf down roughly 30% and Cipher Digital down almost 60%. Iren took the hardest hit in October and trades near $20, about a third of its all-time high, ahead of its fiscal 2027 Q1 report on Nov. 5. The company has a 5.8-gigawatt pipeline and plans to bring 500 megawatts online in 2027, raising its delivered total to 800 megawatts, which the article says could produce $16 billion in annual recurring revenue at $20 million per megawatt. Nebius reported Q2 revenue up 454% year over year, secured a $3.5 billion financing facility from Citi in October and is still up year to date. CoreWeave's Q2 revenue more than doubled to $2.6 billion and its backlog reached $104.2 billion, but its 0.46 current ratio and upcoming debt maturities lead the author to rank it as his least favorite of the three.

  • Kratos Defense & Security Solutions (KTOS) Stock Faces New Congress Risk After Election Shift

    Democrats have won control of Congress after the latest US elections, and leadership of defense policy committees is expected to shift to Democratic chairs who have signaled interest in revisiting long-term Pentagon spending priorities. Contractors focused on advanced systems such as unmanned platforms and space technologies could face a reshuffle of funding emphasis and procurement timelines. Kratos Defense & Security Solutions supplies technology, hardware, systems and software across defense, national security and commercial markets, and has a market cap of $7.7b. The article notes that a NASA Space Reactor 1 Freedom subcontract supports the view that Kratos is also a space infrastructure supplier alongside Lockheed Martin and Northrop Grumman, not just a Pentagon contractor. It also argues that this political shift should not dominate how Kratos is assessed.

  • Has Discovery Mining (TSX:DSV) Stock Earned Its Premium After New Permits?

    Discovery Mining's share price has gained 1,688.7% over the past three years, raising the question of whether current earnings can justify its valuation. Fresh permits for the Cordero project and planned gold production at the Porcupine Complex could shift the timing and scale of future cash flows. The stock trades on a P/E of 26.7x, roughly double the Metals and Mining sector average of 13.4x but below the peer group average of 37.8x. Using a tailored fair-value model that weighs growth, profitability, size and risk, the article says the 26.7x P/E screens as overvalued compared with what that framework would typically assign to this profile. It argues the Cordero and Porcupine milestones are already reflected in the price, so investors need to judge whether earnings can justify paying above that modelled level.
