Dominion Energy (D.US)

Dominion Energy reported total revenue of USD 5.02 billion for its recent 2026 quarter, a 23.1% increase year-over-year that topped analyst estimates.

Enterprise software and drone provider ZenaTech reported an explosive 640% year-over-year revenue growth to CAD 8.4 million for the first quarter of 2026. The company noted that 93% of this top line was driven by its drone-as-a-service (DaaS) acquisitions. Management expects to further leverage its LiDAR-based ZenaWorx platform for AI data center construction projects, bolstered by its recent inclusion in the Russell 3000 index.

Fort Technology (FRTT.US)

Focusing on the rapidly growing data center backup power market, Fort Technology signed a non-binding letter of intent in June 2026 to acquire a 50.1% stake in Logia USA.

The BlackRock Capital Allocation Term trust confirmed that its average daily NAV discount for the first half of 2026 sat at a mere 0.96%, well below the 10% threshold required to trigger a tender offer. While filings revealed minor insider selling by portfolio managers in July, the fund simultaneously announced an increase in its distribution rate.

Skydeck Acquisition (SKYA.US)
