Aplikace umělé inteligence Guanlan: vyšší přesnost, nižší náklady, chytřejší interakce

CHANG-ČOU, Čína, 8. září 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Je to již více než rok, co společnost Hikvision uvedla na trh velké jazykové modely umělé inteligence Guanlan large-scale AI models. Lze bez nadsázky říci, že dnešní video systémy „rozumějí" tomu, na co se dívají. Vědí také, co již bylo zaznamenáno, a díky inovacím v oblasti přirozeného jazyka i to, co uživatel požaduje. Právě díky těmto vlastnostem se produkt dokáže přizpůsobit prostředí, ve kterém je nasazen, a zajišťuje tak bezpečnější provoz s nižšími náklady a menším množstvím manuální práce.

Detekce a analýza pomocí AI: Poplachy, na které se můžete spolehnout

Ochrana perimetru

Právě v oblasti perimetru jsou náklady spojené s chybnou detekcí nejvyšší. Starší systémy snadno spouštějí poplach způsobený zvířaty, povětrnostními vlivy a pohybující se vegetací, takže skutečné hrozby zanikají v záplavě případů, které je nutné vyhodnotit manuálně.

Guanlan řeší tento problém přímo na okraji sítě. Kamery DeepinViewX využívají tento model, čímž snižují počet falešných poplachů o 90 % a zároveň detekují na dvojnásobnou vzdálenost oproti tradičním kamerám, přičemž u stejného cíle dochází k polovičnímu počtu opakovaných poplachů. Ať už se jedná o optické kamery pro krátké perimetry, nebo o termální, radarové a optické senzory pro velké vzdálenosti, AI pomáhá omezovat rušivé signály.

Analytika pro konkrétní prostředí

Kromě perimetru jde společnost Guanlan nad rámec standardní detekce objektů a upozorňuje na vysoce rizikové situace ve specializovaných prostředích. Tyto aplikace, vyvinuté pro známá provozní rizika, obvykle snižují počet falešných poplachů o 70 % až 90 %.

- Bezpečnost a dodržování předpisů: Mezi příklady patří detekce osobních ochranných prostředků (OOP) na staveništích, detekce pádů v domovech s pečovatelskou službou a detekce kouření na čerpacích stanicích. Ve všech případech systém nepřetržitě sleduje rizikové chování a spouští okamžitá upozornění.

- Provozní rizika: Mezi příklady patří detekce vysokozdvižných vozíků v logistických parcích a včasná detekce požáru a kouře v dolech pomocí dvoukanálových termokamer.

- Specializovaná použití: Mezi příklady patří detekce zvířat na velkých farmách a detekce zakázaných předmětů v dopravních uzlech – v druhém případě s využitím rozsáhlých modelů pracujících s rentgenovým zářením a milimetrovými vlnami.

AI jako nástroj pro zvýšení efektivity: Více s menším úsilím

Úspora úložného prostoru díky inteligentní kompresi ROI

Konvenční kódování považuje každou část snímku za stejně důležitou pro uchování. Aby bylo možné dosáhnout průlomové optimalizace ukládání videa, zapojuje technologie Guanlan Encoding do kódovacího procesu rozsáhlý model počítačového vidění. Využívá přesnou segmentaci oblasti zájmu (Region of Interst – ROI) k zachování detailů u dynamických objektů – lidí, vozidel a dalších klíčových objektů – a zároveň aplikuje vyšší míru komprese na statické pozadí. Úspora úložného prostoru se v průměru pohybuje mezi 30 % a 50 %.

Vyhledávání ve videu pomocí pouhých několika slov

Hledání konkrétního momentu v nahraném videu bývá často zdlouhavé. Operátor má pouze hrubou představu o tom, co hledá, a nemá jinou možnost, jak daný moment přesně lokalizovat, než posouváním časové osy.

AcuSeek tento krok odstraňuje. Je založen na rozsáhlém multimodálním modelu pro vyhledávání ve videu pomocí přirozeného jazyka a porovnává obrazové charakteristiky s významem zapsané fráze, takže popis se stává vyhledávacím dotazem. Výsledky se zobrazí během několika sekund.

Další hranice: Software jako AI agent

Nový HIKO AI agent od společnosti Hikvision, který se objeví na platformě HikCentral Professional a v aplikaci Hik-Connect, zcela mění způsob interakce. Nachází se mezi systémem a uživatelem a přeměňuje složité konfigurace na jednoduché konverzační příkazy.

HIKO funguje jako AI asistent, který okamžitě provádí administrativní pokyny – například nastaví přístup návštěvníka na základě SPZ nebo vygeneruje zprávu o docházce pouhým dotazem. Funguje také jako AI strážce, který nahrazuje nastavování pravidel příkazy v přirozeném jazyce (např. „Upozorni mě, když je průchod zablokován"), opatřuje každý poplach písemným shrnutím a na základě situace sestavuje kontextová zvuková varování. A konečně jako vyhledávač AI Search rekonstruuje kompletní trasu pohybu osoby – na základě videozáznamů, záznamů o dveřích a údajů z ANPR (rozpoznávání registračních značek) – jednoduše na základě dotazu operátora: „Kam šel ten muž v modré košili?"

Enabling AI to identify information gaps and choose the right reasoning language for more reliable enterprise Agentic AI

SINGAPORE, Sept. 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Appier (TSE: 4180), an AI-native company delivering Agentic AI as a Service (AaaS), continues to advance AI innovation and research while expanding the frontiers of marketing and advertising technology. As Agentic AI becomes increasingly embedded in core enterprise operations, Appier's AI Research team has published two papers examining how large language models (LLMs) can recognize when retrieved information does not support a valid answer and how selecting the appropriate reasoning language can better serve users across linguistic backgrounds — setting a more rigorous benchmark for the trustworthiness and global deployment of enterprise AI.

Both capabilities are increasingly important in real-world business scenarios. Consider an e-commerce service agent: if a shopper asks about a product not covered by an existing return policy, an AI that applies rules for a similar product could provide misleading information and create disputes. Likewise, a game studio expanding overseas may rely on AI to understand local players, but linguistic nuances can shape market preferences and risks. If the AI does not reason in the local language, it may overlook insights that a native speaker would recognize. To support enterprise decision-making effectively, Agentic AI must be able to manage uncertainty and select the reasoning approach and language best suited to each task.

Recognizing Information Gaps: Teaching AI to Answer Honestly When Data Falls Short

To complete tasks autonomously, Agentic AI typically retrieves information from enterprise knowledge bases, documents, or external sources before reasoning and responding. Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) is a common architecture for this process. However, when retrieval fails to provide sufficient information, the model's ability to recognize that gap directly affects the reliability of any subsequent decision.

In "None of the Above, Less of the Right: Parallel Patterns between Humans and LLMs on Multi-Choice Questions Answering," Appier's AI Research team used "None of the Above" (NA) options to simulate scenarios in which no valid answer was available. The team tested 28 leading LLMs of varying sizes and found that model accuracy fell by 30% to 50% when "none of the above" was the correct response. The findings show that even when models possess relevant knowledge, they tend to select suboptimal or incorrect options rather than proactively flagging insufficient information.

This capacity to "know what you don't know" matters most in tasks like business ethics, where models must assess several plausible options holistically, a more complex task than solving problems with directly verifiable answers, such as mathematics.

Appier's AI Research team applied two training methods—Supervised Fine-Tuning (SFT) and Direct Preference Optimization (DPO)—to teach models to recognize "none of the above" scenarios. SFT trains models using correct examples, while DPO exposes them to both correct and incorrect responses so they can learn to distinguish between them. DPO improved model accuracy in identifying questions with no correct answer by nearly 30 percentage points, showing that targeted training can strengthen this capability.

However, "none of the above" is not suitable for every question. It is most effective when answers are clearly defined and the options are mutually independent, suggesting that an AI's ability to withhold an answer should be trained for specific tasks. In enterprise knowledge scenarios, this means improving retrieval accuracy while also introducing a checkpoint to confirm whether sufficient information is available before the AI acts. If the information is insufficient, the system can search again or escalate to a human.

Choosing the Right Reasoning Language for Each Task

Beyond managing uncertainty, Agentic AI also needs to select the right reasoning language for each task. Appier's research paper, "Language Matters: How Do Multilingual Input and Reasoning Paths Affect Large Reasoning Models?" found that the language used by a large reasoning model (LRM) can directly affect its logical reasoning, safety judgments, and cultural understanding. Even when prompted in another language, models often default to high-resource languages such as English for reasoning. For some models, the reasoning language differed from the response language in over 90% of cases.

Using a "text prefilling" technique—setting an opening phrase that prompts the model to reason in a specified language—Appier's AI Research team examined how language choice affected task performance. High-resource languages such as English generally produced stronger results in mathematics and knowledge-based tasks. For tasks requiring cultural understanding, however, reasoning in the local language captured local context more effectively. Safety testing also showed that local-language reasoning was more effective at identifying harmful or illegal queries.

In other words, the optimal reasoning language should be chosen dynamically based on the nature of the task. This research opens the door to "reasoning-language routing": beyond selecting the right model, tools, and data, Agentic AI could, in the future, dynamically select the most suitable reasoning language based on task type, market, and cultural context, while continuing to respond in the user's preferred language.

Beyond Answer Accuracy: Recognizing Limits and Choosing the Right Approach

"These two papers redefine the standard for evaluating AI. As AI moves from answering questions to making autonomous decisions, measuring whether a model produces the correct answer is no longer enough. We must also assess whether it can recognize insufficient information, adjust its actions accordingly, and select the reasoning approach best suited to each task," said Chih Han Yu, CEO and Co-founder of Appier. "These capabilities will help Agentic AI evolve from simply executing instructions into a reliable decision-making system capable of navigating real-world complexity. Through sustained foundational research, Appier aims to turn these critical questions into measurable and improvable AI capabilities, enabling enterprises across markets and languages to adopt Agentic AI with greater confidence."

Looking ahead, Appier's AI Research team will continue advancing research into large language models and Agentic AI while exploring applications across the company's three product lines—Ad Cloud, Personalization Cloud, and Data Cloud. The goal is to enable AI not only to act autonomously but also to make more reliable judgments based on the available information, task requirements, and market context—helping enterprises turn Agentic AI into scalable, tangible business value.

Expert.ai brings semantic control and neurosymbolic AI to complex banking workflows, helping financial institutions build explainable and auditable AI automation.

ROCKVILLE, Md., Sept. 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Expert.ai, a leading provider of enterprise AI solutions for business value creation, today announced that it has been recognized as one of five Coolest Vendors mentioned in the Gartner Coolest Vendor Innovations in Agentic AI for Banking, Part 1*.

Expert.ai's AI suite is already in production at 10 top banks in Italy and by global AML organizations, which report more than 90% screening accuracy. Customers cite a 90% reduction in AML false positives, up to 70% time savings per alert in KYC screening and an overall 40% improvement in customer satisfaction.

As banks move from experimentation with generative AI toward production-grade AI agents, the ability to combine autonomy with control, traceability and domain understanding is becoming increasingly important. Expert.ai addresses this challenge through a semantic control and neurosymbolic AI Mesh architecture that combines knowledge graphs, deterministic linguistics, business rules and language models.

How Agentic AI in Banking Has Evolved So Far

"According to the 2026 Gartner CIO and Technology Executive Survey, 'the number of banks and investment firms deploying AI agents is set to double, with 41% of banks and 38% of investment service firms planning deployments in the next 12 months." As Gartner puts it, "The focus has shifted from "can we automate a workflow?" to "how do we engineer a trusted, scalable digital workforce that transforms the business model and delivers measurable value?"

Expert.ai Neurosymbolic, Composite AI Approach

Expert.ai's approach to applying agentic AI to complex banking processes, combining generative AI with semantic intelligence, symbolic reasoning and domain-specific knowledge, enables more controlled, explainable and efficient AI-driven automation. Rather than relying on a large language models to handle every step of a process or treating it as the universal engine for every task, Expert.ai's architecture determines where symbolic reasoning, business rules, knowledge graphs or language models are most appropriate. Symbolic agents first classify content, resolve entities, apply policy rules and retrieve relevant evidence; a language model is used only when language generation is genuinely needed; and a final symbolic check links every output back to its source evidence. This gives banks greater control over what AI agents do and makes their actions easier to understand and trace, also reducing unnecessary use of large language models, helping organizations manage the cost of running AI at scale.

Expert.ai's vertical AI platform supports agentic applications across financial crime, risk and compliance, providing domain-specific language models (DSLMs) and AI capabilities to streamline perpetual KYC, dynamic risk understanding, regulatory change management, adverse-media screening, sanctions and politically exposed person (PEP) screening, and the detection of material customer changes. The platform also supports complaint management, credit underwriting, intelligent document processing and intelligent customer engagement through natural language understanding, proactive guidance and transactional support.

"We are pleased to be recognized as a Coolest Vendor in the Gartner Coolest Vendor Innovations in Agentic AI for Banking report. We see this as a reflection of the trust our customers place in us to address some of the most complex challenges facing the banking and financial services industry. Their continued choice validates our strategy, our differentiated solutions, and our ability to deliver the reliability and business value required to bring AI into mission-critical environments," said Umberto Pardi, CRO, Expert.ai. "As we continue to expand our presence in banking and financial services industry, our focus remains on delivering measurable business value, building long-term partnerships, and helping organizations move from AI experimentation to trusted, scalable transformation."

TORONTO, Sept. 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Mayfair Gold Corp. ("Mayfair", "Mayfair Gold", or the "Company") (TSXV: MFG) (NYSE American: MINE) is pleased to report on its summer exploration program progress and mine geology advancement to further its operational readiness program.

2026 Summer Geology Program Highlights:

- Advanced South Block targets toward drill-ready status

- Mapped more than 95% of known outcrops and collected 127 grab samples

- Completed 23 condemnation holes totalling 6,184 metres, confirming the site General Arrangement

- Advanced the integrated 3D geological and multi-element geochemical model

Adree DeLazzer, P.Geo, Vice President, Exploration, commented, "this season's work has strengthened our geological understanding of the North and South blocks and advanced priority targets on the South Block toward planned drilling in early 2027. Integrating our mapping, sampling and structural interpretation will help us refine these targets and focus the next phase of exploration. In parallel, we are developing an integrated geological and geochemical model at Fenn-Gib to better understand the deposit and guide exploration across the broader property. We are encouraged by the South Block's potential and look forward to testing the targets developed through this work.

2026 Exploration Program

The 2026 exploration program focused on advancing the geological understanding of the North and South blocks (see figures 1 and 2 below) through systematic geological mapping, prospecting, sampling, and compilation of historical data. Over 95% of known outcrops across both blocks were reviewed, mapped and selectively sampled, providing extensive coverage of the property and adding significantly to the geological dataset available for ongoing interpretation and targeting.

A total of 127 grab samples were collected across the North and South blocks, including selected samples for gold assay and multi-element geochemical analysis. Geological and structural observations recorded during fieldwork focused on documenting structural features, lithology, alteration, and mineralization. The results of this work are being integrated with existing historical datasets to build a more complete understanding of the property.

A structural targeting program is also underway and has identified a number of areas for further evaluation. These targets are being integrated with the results of the summer mapping and sampling program to help refine areas for potential follow-up geological, geochemical, and geophysical work.

The Company is currently finalizing plans for its fall and winter exploration programs.

Infrastructure Condemnation Drilling Program

Mayfair has completed its 2026 condemnation drilling program, comprising 23 drill holes totalling 6,184 metres, including two redrills. The program was designed to test the proposed locations of key project infrastructure identified in the 2026 Pre-Feasibility Study Technical Report. The drilling results confirm that the tested locations remain suitable for the planned infrastructure, and no changes to the current site layout are required.

Mine Geology and Geochemical Modelling

Efforts are underway to build a comprehensive 3D model integrating geology and a multi-element database. To date, over 900 inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry assays (ICP-MS) have been taken in and around the main Fenn-Gib deposit. Mayfair is continuing to expand the database and model key elements to strengthen the geo-metallurgy model. The final product will also serve in vectoring pathfinder elements to support exploration efforts on the property scale.

Acid-based accounting assays (ABA) are also being included to further support and strengthen the various environmental baseline studies.

Finally, the previously reported grade control program yielded favorable results (see news release dated June 18, 2026). Mayfair is currently considering options to capitalise on those results and potentially do targeted infill drilling to pursue that program.

Quality Assurance and Quality Control

Mayfair Gold maintains a Quality Assurance/Quality Control (QA/QC) program aligned with NI 43-101 requirements and industry best practices. NQ size surface drilling was carried out by Black Diamond Drilling of Matheson, Ontario, and by Wiijiiwaagan Drilling Limited Partnerships of Haileybury, Ontario, under the supervision of Mayfair Gold's exploration team. The drill program includes detailed geological logging and systematic sampling of drill core at Mayfair's secure facility in Matheson, Ontario.

Drill core selected for analysis was cut longitudinally using a diamond‑blade saw. One half of the core was retained in the core box for reference, and the other half was bagged, sealed, and prepared for shipment. Analytical work was completed by Swastika Laboratories Ltd. in Swastika, Ontario. Swastika Laboratories is independent of Mayfair Gold and accredited by the Canadian Association for Laboratory Accreditation Inc. (CALA) and meets the ISO/IEC 17025 standards for gold analysis by fire assay with gravimetric finish and fire assay with flame atomic absorption spectroscopy (FAAS) finish.

Samples were delivered directly to Swastika Laboratories by Mayfair personnel. Samples are crushed to minimum 80% passing 1,700 μm. Samples are then split to obtain a 300–500 g sample using a rotary divider. 300–500 g samples are pulverized to minimum 85% passing 74 μm. Gold assays were completed using a 30‑gram fire assay with FAAS finish. Samples returning gold grades greater than 10 g/t were re‑assayed using a 30‑gram fire assay with gravimetric finish. As part of Mayfair's QA/QC protocol, one certified reference material (CRM), one coarse blank, and one coarse duplicate sample were inserted into the sequence of every 25 samples. Routine third‑party check assays are also performed.

True thickness for condemnation drilling is unknown.

Mayfair Gold is a Canadian development-stage gold company focused on advancing the 100% controlled Fenn-Gib Project in the Timmins region of Northern Ontario. Fenn-Gib hosts a 4.3 million ounce indicated mineral resource of gold (181.3Mt at an average grade of 0.74 g/t) and the expected strategy outlined in the 2026 Pre-Feasibility Study (the "PFS")1 is to develop the project under the provincial permitting process, targeting the higher-grade 1 million ounce probable mineral reserve (25.1Mt at an average grade of 1.29g/t) sitting near-surface, highlighting the optionality and scalability provided by the deposit. The PFS also outlines the potential to develop Fenn-Gib into a new Canadian gold producer, with initial development capital of C$450 million, a base-case payback period of 2.7 years, and cumulative free cash flow2 of US$896 million over the first six years of production based on a US$3,100/oz gold price. The Company is advancing permitting activities, detailed engineering, and stakeholder engagement with the goal of starting construction in 2028 with initial production in 2030.

Canaan Inc. Reports Unaudited Second Quarter 2026 Financial Results

Reached a record 1,915 BTC and 3,952 ETH cryptocurrency treasury[1]

Mined 243 bitcoins in the Second Quarter 2026

Repurchased approximately 16.4 million ADSs for an Aggregate of US$7.4 million as of September 8, 2026

SINGAPORE, Sept. 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Canaan Inc. (NASDAQ: CAN) ("Canaan" or the "Company"), an innovator in compute and energy infrastructure, today announced its unaudited financial results for the three months ended June 30, 2026.

Second Quarter 2026 Operating and Financial Highlights

Nangeng Zhang, chairman, and chief executive officer of Canaan, commented, "Q2 2026 presented a difficult period for bitcoin mining, as renewed bitcoin price pressure, weaker mining economics, and seasonal power constraints weighed on equipment demand and profitability. Our team responded by staying close to customers, matching production to demand, and protecting liquidity. We generated US$31.9 million in total revenue with 2.5 EH/s of computing power sold during the second quarter. Our mining operations produced 243 bitcoins and continued to generate positive cash contribution before depreciation, supported by competitive power economics, while our digital asset treasury reached a record 1,915 BTC and 3,952 ETH at quarter-end. Beyond revenue generation, we kept our inventory lean, tightened spending and cash-flow management, and further streamlined our organization.

"Despite the quarter's market headwinds, we focused on building the capabilities that we believe are necessary for Canaan's next phase. Together with our partner, we advanced the fleet upgrade at Project ABC, where installed hashrate reached 4.85 EH/s by the end of July. We will continue to explore cost-advantaged sites that can support efficient deployment and cash generation, while advancing collaboration around compute-to-heat reuse applications. On the product side, we kept optimizing the A16 series, focusing on cost-effective air-cooled models and high-temperature water-cooled models, and developed new Avalon Home products for household heating applications, with mass-production preparations underway for the winter heating season. In parallel, we continued advancing our efforts on long-term power resources in North America with further progress. We will provide updates when we reach an appropriate stage for disclosure. As we expand beyond mining equipment and operations into compute-plus-energy infrastructure, these initiatives are designed to improve fleet efficiency, broaden our operating flexibility, and strengthen our foundation for long-term value creation as the industry evolves."

Jin "James" Cheng, chief financial officer of Canaan, stated, "We navigated a demanding Q2 market and generated US$31.9 million in total revenue. Product revenue was US$13.6 million, reflecting softer demand for mining rigs and a lower average selling price for computing power, while mining revenue recorded US$17.7 million amidst bitcoin price pressure and seasonal curtailments. We kept mining-machine production costs relatively stable and held our all-in power cost at a competitive level of around US$0.04/kWh across our mining operations. Nevertheless, our reported results were also affected by several non-cash items, including a US$25.3 million inventory write-down, prepayment write-down, and provision for reserve for inventory purchase commitments, a US$9.2 million impairment of property and equipment, and a US$18.2 million loss of fair value change in cryptocurrency, all of which resulted from a decrease in cryptocurrency prices during the second quarter. These accounting charges weighed on our bottom line but did not alter our focus on cost control, liquidity, and operational efficiency.

"As we enter the second half of 2026, we intend to maintain disciplined inventory levels, preserve financial flexibility, and direct resources toward securing power capacity for our compute-energy infrastructure strategy. We are also applying a more active capital-allocation framework to monetize a portion of our digital asset treasury to fund stock repurchases under the existing program. The Company has deployed an aggregate US$7.4 million to repurchase 16.4 million ADSs under the current share repurchase plan as of today, alongside management's continued share purchases using their personal funds. We believe the Company's current equity valuation understates the combination of our digital asset treasury, cash liquidity, and our mining operations, which continue to generate bitcoin rewards. Repurchasing shares represents an attractive use of capital alongside the exploration of lower-cost power and infrastructure. We will continue balancing near-term resilience with opportunities that can strengthen per-share value and support Canaan's long-term development."

Second Quarter 2026 Financial Results

Total revenues in the second quarter of 2026 were US$31.9 million, compared to US$62.7 million in the first quarter of 2026 and US$100.2 million in the same period of 2025.

New partnership highlights the importance of finding cancer earlier through Caris Detect, a multi-cancer early detection blood test now available nationwide

IRVING, Texas, Sept. 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Caris Life Sciences® (NASDAQ: CAI), a leading TechBio company, today announced the launch of its new national campaign titled, "Math," featuring the iconic, award-winning actor, producer and director, Kevin Costner. The partnership is designed to raise awareness of the critical importance of early cancer detection and introduce a national audience to Caris Detect™, Caris' groundbreaking multi-cancer early detection (MCED) blood test.

HOLIFERM & ORGANICA COMBINE TO ACCELERATE GLOBAL BIOTECH INNOVATION AND COMMERCIALISATION

BIRKENHEAD, England, Sept. 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Holiferm and Organica UK have announced a strategic combination, strengthened by a continued partnership with Sadorp.

SAN DIEGO, Sept. 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Robbins Geller Rudman & Dowd LLP announces that purchasers or acquirers of UWM Holdings Corporation (NYSE: UWMC) securities between March 9, 2026 and August 5, 2026, inclusive (the "Class Period"), have until Tuesday, October 13, 2026 to seek appointment as lead plaintiff of the UWM class action lawsuit. Captioned Bond v. UWM Holdings Corporation, No. 26-cv-12862 (E.D. Mich.), the UWM class action lawsuit charges UWM and certain of UWM's top executive officers with violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

If you suffered substantial losses and wish to serve as lead plaintiff of the UWM class action lawsuit, please provide your information here:

https://www.rgrdlaw.com/cases-uwm-holdings-corporation-class-action-lawsuit-uwmc.html

You can also contact attorneys Ken Dolitsky or Michael Albert of Robbins Geller by calling 800/851-7783 or via e-mail at [email protected].

CASE ALLEGATIONS: UWM engages in the origination, sale, and servicing residential mortgage lending. According to the complaint, in December 2025, UWM and Two Harbors Investment Corp. signed an all-stock merger agreement valued at $1.3 billion to expand UWM's mortgage servicing rights. Allegedly, in March 2026, Two Harbors Investment Corp. terminated the UWM agreement due to a competing offer and agreed to pay UWM's termination fee.

The UWM class action lawsuit alleges that defendants throughout the Class Period made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (i) UWM had deviated from its traditional strategy of not hedging its mortgage servicing rights to take a major hedge position; (ii) UWM over-hedged itself in anticipation of the Two Harbors Investment Corp. transaction; (iii) UWM's purported efforts to balance its risk in fact created an excess hedging risk; and (iv) that, as a result of the foregoing, defendants' positive statements about UWM's business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis.

On August 5, 2026, after the market closed, UWM reported second quarter fiscal year 2026 financial results, allegedly including a nearly $603.2 million interest rate derivatives loss which contributed to a $451.9 million second quarter net loss, and that total equity fell 43.6% year over year, reflecting the net loss and derivative-related charges. Then, on August 6, 2026, UWM held an earnings call in connection with its second quarter 2026 financial results. According to the complaint, UWM's Chief Executive Officer, Mathew Ishbia, disclosed "[w]e were over-hedged, if you think of it that way, protecting against the Two Harbors transaction" and that "[w]e don't traditionally hedge our MSRs [Mortgage Servicing Rights]" but "when you're going through and acquiring a company like Two Harbors and a massive MSR book… it created a little more risk. So . . . we did put a hedge on to protect against that risk and then a lot of things happen[ed]…and then obviously, the Two Harbors transaction went away. And so a confluence of events that created a hedge loss." On this news, the price of UWM shares fell nearly 35%, according to the complaint.

THE LEAD PLAINTIFF PROCESS: The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 permits any investor who purchased or acquired UWM securities during the Class Period to seek appointment as lead plaintiff in the UWM class action lawsuit. A lead plaintiff is generally the movant with the greatest financial interest in the relief sought by the putative class who is also typical and adequate of the putative class. A lead plaintiff acts on behalf of all other class members in directing the UWM class action lawsuit. The lead plaintiff can select a law firm of its choice to litigate the UWM class action lawsuit. An investor's ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff of the UWM class action lawsuit.
