High Templar Tech Limited Reports First Half of 2026 Unaudited Financial Results

XIAMEN, China, Oct. 14, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- High Templar Tech Limited ("High Templar" or "the Company" or "We") (NYSE: HTT), today announced its unaudited financial results for the six months ended June 30, 2026.

First Half of 2026 Financial Highlights:

- Total revenues were RMB8.0 million (US$1.2 million), compared to RMB29.3 million for the same period of last year

- Net income attributable to the Company's shareholders was RMB416.9 million (US$61.4 million), compared to RMB461.9 million for the same period of last year; net income per diluted ADS was RMB2.64 (US$0.39) for the first half of 2026

We continued to execute our business transition while maintaining a healthy balance sheet by pursuing efficient cash management. Moving forward, we remain focused on navigating market dynamics and capitalizing on new business opportunities in order to deliver long-term value for our shareholders.

First Half of 2026 Financial Results

Sales income and others decreased by 72.7% to RMB8.0 million (US$1.2 million) from RMB29.3 million for the first half of 2025, which was primarily due to the winding down of our last-mile delivery business. We have completely wound down the last-mile delivery business in the first half of 2026.

Total operating costs and expenses decreased by 10.0% to RMB188.1 million (US$27.7 million) from RMB209.0 million for the first half of 2025.

Cost of revenues decreased by 77.7% to RMB6.5 million (US$1.0 million) from RMB29.2 million for the first half of 2025, primarily due to the decrease in service cost as we wound down the last-mile delivery business.

General and administrative expenses increased by 61.0% to RMB183.9 million (US$27.1 million) from RMB114.2 million for the first half of 2025, primarily due to the increase in depreciation following the completion of the construction of our headquarters, loan arrangement fees related to the borrowings and employee benefit.

Research and development expenses decreased by 75.0% to RMB6.1 million (US$0.9 million) from RMB24.4 million for the first half of 2025, as a result of the decrease in staff headcount, which led to a corresponding decrease in personnel cost.

Loss from operations was RMB180.0 million (US$26.5 million), compared to RMB179.3 million for the first half of 2025.

Interest and investment income, net was RMB1,283.6 million (US$189.2 million), compared to RMB605.9 million for the first half of 2025, mainly attributable to the increase of income from investments in the first half of 2026.

Gain/(Loss) on derivative instrument was a loss of RMB602.7 million (US$88.8 million), compared to a gain of RMB77.5 million for the first half of 2025, mainly due to the decrease in quoted price of the underlying equity securities relating to the derivative instruments we held.

Net income attributable to the Company's shareholders was RMB416.9 million (US$61.4 million), compared to RMB461.9 million in the first half of 2025. Net income per diluted ADS was RMB2.64 (US$0.39).

Cash Flow

As of June 30, 2026, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of RMB3,811.5 million (US$561.7 million) and restricted cash, current and non-current of RMB2,322.5 million (US$342.3 million). Restricted cash mainly represents security deposits held in designated bank accounts for the guarantee of short-term and long-term borrowings. Such restricted cash is not available to fund the general liquidity needs of the Company.

For the first half of 2026, net cash provided by operating activities was RMB1,142.6 million (US$168.4 million), mainly attributable to proceeds from interest and investment income. Net cash used in investing activities was RMB1,752.3 million (US$258.3 million), mainly due to payments of deposits pledged as collateral for derivative instruments. Net cash used in financing activities was RMB225.2 million (US$33.2 million), mainly due to the repurchase of ADSs and partially offset by the proceeds from long-term borrowings.

Update on Share Repurchase

Our Board approved a share repurchase program in March 2024 to purchase up to US$300 million worth of Class A ordinary shares or ADSs in the next 36 months starting from June 13, 2024. From the launch of the share repurchase program on June 13, 2024 to October 13, 2026, the Company has in aggregate purchased 69.1 million ADSs in the open market and a tender offer for a total amount of approximately US$208.3 million (an average price of $3.0 per ADS) pursuant to the share repurchase program.

As of October 13, 2026, the Company had in aggregate purchased 223.4 million ADSs for a total amount of approximately US$902.5 million (an average price of $4.0 per ADS).

Subsequent events

The Company's Chairman and CEO, Mr. Luo Min, recently received a tax notice from the Xiamen Municipal Tax Bureau concerning historical equity restructurings of two PRC consolidated entities, Xiamen Qudian Technology Co., Ltd. ("Xiamen Qudian") and Xiamen Lexiang Time Technology Co., Ltd. ("Xiamen Lexiang"); under applicable PRC tax laws, these restructurings are taxable events for Mr. Luo and subject to individual income tax as "income from transfer of property". Because Mr. Luo held all of his equity interests in Xiamen Qudian and Xiamen Lexiang as nominee solely for the Company's benefit and the restructurings were carried out at the instruction of the Company, the board (with Mr. Luo abstaining) resolved that the Company should bear all related individual income tax, late surcharges, penalties and other tax costs. While discussions with relevant tax authorities are ongoing, Mr. Luo has made a tax filing in respect of tax payable of RMB790 million (approximately US$116 million), which is expected to be paid soon. The tax filing was made by Mr. Luo based on the Company's assessment of the current situation and the Company does not exclude the possibility that further taxes, late surcharges, penalties and other tax costs may be payable in connection with the restructurings of Xiamen Qudian and Xiamen Lexiang. The Company is evaluating potential impacts on other similar historical restructurings and will record accounting provisions and make further disclosures as required.

New GNSS-RO satellite launch advances PlanetiQ's growing constellation of high-precision atmospheric and ionospheric sensors

GOLDEN, Colo., Oct. 14, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- PlanetiQ's GNOMES-10 satellite successfully launched October 1 at 11:32 a.m. PDT aboard SpaceX's Transporter-18 mission from Vandenberg Space Force Base, marking another major step in the company's expansion of its global GNSS radio occultation (GNSS-RO) constellation. Following launch, PlanetiQ's partner ground stations quickly established first contact with GNOMES-10, and spacecraft commissioning began immediately.

GNOMES-10 Carries PlanetiQ's Fourth-Generation Pyxis Receiver

GNOMES-10 carries PlanetiQ's fourth-generation Pyxis GNSS-RO receiver, which was built and tested at PlanetiQ's facility in Golden, Colorado. Pyxis is engineered to capture exceptionally high-quality GNSS signals for radio occultation measurements. Its combination of high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), high-rate signal sampling, precise timing, and advanced antenna design enables PlanetiQ to retrieve highly detailed atmospheric profiles from each radio occultation event.

Pyxis incorporates a high-accuracy oscillator and PlanetiQ's bespoke satellite antenna design, both engineered to maximize the information captured from each GNSS-RO observation. These capabilities provide detailed measurements of atmospheric structure, including in the lower troposphere and ionosphere.

"Experiencing the launch firsthand is a reflection of, and a tremendous appreciation for, all the excellent hard work by everyone involved, including our employees, suppliers, and customers," said Chris McCormick, Founder, President and Chairman of PlanetiQ. "We are proud that our data supports weather applications by measuring Earth's atmospheric and ionospheric state and furthering our knowledge of Earth's dynamic weather patterns."

Simultaneous GNSS Tracking Creates More RO Opportunities

PlanetiQ satellites simultaneously track signals from all four major GNSS constellations: GPS, BeiDou, GLONASS, and Galileo. Each satellite also uses a wide ±75-degree limb-sounding field of view.

By tracking multiple GNSS constellations simultaneously and observing signals across a wide field of view, PlanetiQ satellites can observe more GNSS transmitters at the same time. This creates more opportunities for radio occultation measurements and enables PlanetiQ to produce more GNSS-RO observations per hour than other commercial RO constellations.

The resulting observations provide weather models and other users with highly detailed information about atmospheric structure. PlanetiQ's high-SNR measurements are particularly valuable for resolving features in the lower troposphere, where atmospheric conditions can change rapidly and where conventional satellite observations can be challenging.

GNOMES-11 to Add Lower-Inclination GNSS-RO Observations

PlanetiQ plans to launch GNOMES-11 later this month, carrying the same fourth-generation Pyxis receiver as GNOMES-10. The addition of GNOMES-10 and GNOMES-11 is part of PlanetiQ's ongoing effort to expand the availability, quality, and diversity of commercial GNSS-RO observations for weather forecasting, space weather, and other mission-critical applications.

About PlanetiQ

PlanetiQ provides the highest-quality GNSS radio occultation (RO) data available from a commercial constellation of satellites, offering unmatched temporal and spatial resolution. The data drive accurate, high-impact weather and climate forecast models, helping improve Numerical Weather Prediction and AI forecasts, safeguard lives and property from severe weather. PlanetiQ is a space-tech company that serves the most mission-critical government, defense, and industry leaders, including international weather agencies, enabling more resilient operations across sectors. Founded in 2015 and privately owned, PlanetiQ designs, builds, and operates the preeminent commercial constellation of GNSS-RO satellites, setting the standard for precision and reliability in atmospheric monitoring.

- Malaysia senior secured syndicated term financing upsized to approximately US$7.2 billion in total for Johor platform

- 1GW of IT Power Capacity now generating income under long-term customer contracts; 2.3GW of Bookings[1,2]committed by customers and Reservations[3] of 1.1GW

- Showcasing DayOne's ability to deliver on customer commitments at scale

SINGAPORE, Oct. 14, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- DayOne Data Centers Limited ("DayOne"), a Singapore-headquartered global digital infrastructure platform, today announced it has surpassed 1GW of Billings[4]. This follows the recent upsize of its senior secured multi-currency syndicated term financing in Malaysia to approximately US$7.2 billion in total. These milestones demonstrate DayOne's ability to deliver on customer commitments and execute at scale.

DayOne continues to strengthen its capital base to support its growth. Arranged by a seven-lender consortium, the upsized financing of approximately US$7.2 billion in Malaysia supports the continued development of its data center platform in Johor and builds on the approximately US$3.5 billion syndicated financing the company secured in May 2025. Since 2024, the company has raised over US$6 billion in equity across several financing rounds, alongside project financing from a broad roster of more than 30 local and global banking partners.

DayOne's Billings have grown over eightfold in under two years, from 121MW at the end of 2024. The 1GW Billings milestone comes as DayOne's Bookings reached approximately 2.3GW[1], up from 1.25GW at the end of 2025. In addition to the Bookings, DayOne also had 1.1GW[1] of Reservations[3] from customers.

Jamie Khoo, Chief Executive Officer of DayOne, said, "The confidence our banking partners and customers have placed in DayOne is reflected in these milestones and underpins our continued growth. Together, their support has enabled us to unlock strategic capacity for the next generation of AI and cloud infrastructure. Our focus remains on earning that trust through responsible execution and bringing capacity online at speed and scale in the markets our customers need."

DayOne acquires powered land and secures anchor customer commitments early on in its development process. Across its ten-market footprint, DayOne's Resources[5] reached 4.6GW[1], up from 2GW at the end of 2025.

A key part of DayOne's growth strategy is to continue broadening and diversifying its customer base over time. Bookings came from 15 customers[1], up from nine at the end of 2024. Four of its top five customers are with DayOne in multiple markets. Three hyperscale customers each have multi-market deployments of around or above 200MW. Most recently, DayOne has secured additional orders with one of its existing U.S. hyperscale customers.

"By pioneering and scaling new markets, this conviction has shaped DayOne since inception, and it continues to guide how we grow," added Jamie. "From Singapore where DayOne was founded, we are driving the delivery of high-specification facilities across Asia Pacific and Europe."

DayOne Data Centers Limited ("DayOne") is a Singapore-headquartered global digital infrastructure platform that develops and operates next-generation data centers, with a footprint across ten markets in Asia Pacific and Europe.

Luxury Prices Fall for 30th Straight Month as Big Price Tags Fail to Guarantee Top School Marks, Realtor.com® Finds

Naples, Fla., tops luxury markets in elementary school ratings (9.3/10) and annual price gains, while second-priciest Kahului-Wailuku, Hawaii, ranks last (5.0/10)

AUSTIN, Texas, Oct. 14, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- The national entry point to luxury housing edged down to $1,199,321 in September, 3.6% below a year ago and the 30th consecutive month of annual price declines, according to the Realtor.com® September Luxury Housing Report released today.

Every luxury tier is cheaper than a year ago, with the threshold for the top 5% of listings down 3.5% and the top 1% down 5.3%. Even so, luxury homes are selling faster than they were last September. Listings at the 90th percentile spent a median of 76 days on the market, three days fewer than a year ago, though two days more than in August as the market eases out of summer.

With students back in class, the report also looks at public elementary school ratings across luxury markets and finds that a big price tag doesn't guarantee top marks.

"Luxury prices keep drifting lower, but buyers haven't gone quiet. Homes are selling faster than a year ago in every tier," said Anthony Smith, senior economist at Realtor.com®. "School ratings are one local factor that can go hand in hand with price strength, as in Naples, Fla., but they don't make a market immune."

National Luxury Overview, September 2026

The luxury entry point is the lowest since January 2023, 14.1% below its May 2023 peak of roughly $1.4 million. It slipped 0.1% from August, following a 4.0% drop that month, and higher tiers softened slightly more. There are no clear signs yet of a reversal.

The million-dollar listing share fell to 12.5%, down 0.2 percentage points from August and 0.5 points from a year ago. Million-dollar listings rose 1.2% from last year while total active listings rose 5.4%. Listings at the 95th percentile spent 86 days on the market and those at the 99th percentile spent 100 days, each three days faster than a year ago. The typical listing spent 61 days on the market, unchanged from a year ago.

Los Angeles Widens Its Lead as the Highest Entry Point to Luxury

Los Angeles held the top spot at $3.95 million in September, widening its lead as Kahului-Wailuku, Hawaii, slipped 3.1%. The gap between the top two is now about 4%, after less than 1% separated the top three in August. Naples-Marco Island, Fla., moved up to third.

Bridgeport-Stamford-Danbury, Conn., fell 7.3% after a 6.0% drop in August. It is now 15.6% below a year ago, the steepest annual decline in the top 10, and 14.3% below its June peak, when it held the top spot.

Naples, Fla., (up 8.9%) and Crestview-Fort Walton Beach-Destin, Fla,. (up 2.4%) were the only top 10 markets with annual gains. San Jose-Sunnyvale-Santa Clara, Calif., posted a third straight monthly gain but remains 10.8% below a year ago. San Francisco-Oakland-Fremont, Calif., returned to the top 10, pushing out Atlantic City-Hammonton, N.J.

Top 10 Most Expensive Metropolitan Luxury Markets

Back to School: Luxury Markets and Elementary School Ratings

Location drives luxury purchases, and for many buyers that includes schools. The report compares average public elementary school ratings from GreatSchools.org for luxury homes (listings at or above the metro's 90th percentile) across the 43 metropolitan areas it tracks. Naples-Marco Island, Fla., ranks first at 9.3 out of 10, followed by Crestview-Fort Walton Beach-Destin, Fla., at 9.1 and Bridgeport. Conn., at 8.5. Naples and Crestview are also the only two top 10 most expensive markets with annual price gains.

Metros With the Highest-Rated Elementary Schools Among Luxury Markets

Strong elementary schools aren't a shield, however. Bridgeport, Conn., ranks third on elementary schools, but its luxury threshold is down 15.6% from a year ago. The price tag isn't a grade either. Luxury begins at $900,388 in Jacksonville, Fla., and $780,487 in San Antonio-New Braunfels, Texas, and both average higher elementary school ratings (7.8 and 7.4) than New York (6.7), where luxury starts at $2.62 million.

At the other end, Kahului-Wailuku, Hawaii, averages 5 out of 10, the lowest of any luxury metro and 4.3 points below Naples, Fla., despite having the second-highest luxury threshold. Urban Honolulu follows at 5.7.

Metros With the Lowest-Rated Elementary Schools Among Luxury Markets

The ratings cover public schools only, and many luxury buyers also weigh private options. School quality is one local factor among several and not a reliable predictor of price performance.

Methodology

All data in this report is sourced from Realtor.com® listing trends as of September 2026, reflecting active inventory of existing homes, including single-family residences, condos, townhomes, row homes and co-ops. Listings reflect only those provided by MLS platforms to Realtor.com® via a listing feed. New-construction listings are excluded unless actively listed on participating MLSs.

Luxury segmentation is based on market-specific price percentiles, with the 90th percentile representing entry-level luxury, the 95th percentile marking high-end luxury and the 99th percentile indicating ultraluxury. All calculations are based on listing prices, not final sales prices.

Metropolitan and micropolitan areas are defined using the Office of Management and Budget's OMB-2023 delineations, with Claritas 2025 household estimates used for relative comparisons. Where appropriate, analysis was limited to metros or micros with a minimum threshold of active million-dollar listings on average over the past year. Market-level analysis in this report covers the 43 metropolitan areas that averaged at least 500 million-dollar listings over the 12 months through September 2026.

School ratings are sourced from GreatSchools.org and reflect the 1 to 10 rating of the public elementary schools assigned to each listing. Homes without an assigned elementary school rating are excluded. Ratings do not reflect private schools, school choice programs or lottery-based admissions.

Historical listing trend data extends to July 2016, but year-over-year comparisons in this report use September 2025 as the baseline.

Luxury by the Numbers

90th percentile = Entry-level luxury (top 10% of prices)

95th percentile = High-end luxury

99th percentile = Ultraluxury (often rare or custom properties)

TORONTO, Oct. 14, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- i-80 GOLD CORP. (NYSE: IAUX) (TSX: IAU) ("i-80 Gold", or the "Company") is pleased to provide an update on its Nevada development plan. Operating and near-term development projects continue to advance on schedule toward a total annual production target of 150,000 to 200,000 ounces of gold starting in 2028.(1) In addition, the Company's development plan has been updated to prioritize Mineral Point open pit as the Company's next major development project following the anticipated establishment of its underground hub-and-spoke mining and processing platform to create a Nevada-focused mid-tier gold producer.

Development Highlights

- Archimedes underground on track to commence production mining: Development at Archimedes, the Company's second underground mine, continues to advance on schedule toward the start of production mining in the fourth quarter of 2026, as planned.

- Lone Tree Plant refurbishment advances toward initial construction: Bulk demolition activities are complete, and mobilization is underway for initial construction activities to commence in the fourth quarter of 2026, as planned. Capital expenditures remain largely on budget with approximately 10% of the total project contingency drawn down to date.

- Exploration upside drives updated development plan: Mineral resource expansion potential at the Granite Creek and Archimedes underground projects support the Company's view that these deposits have the potential to supply sufficient feed to the Lone Tree Plant for longer than previously contemplated, providing flexibility to sequence Cove underground later in the development plan as a future source of refractory feed to the Lone Tree Plant when required.

- Mineral Point open pit prioritized ahead of Granite Creek open pit: Mineral Point is the Company's most valuable project. It hosts a large gold-silver oxide resource and the potential to add annual production of approximately 280,000 gold equivalent ounces over a mine life of 17 years, based on the related preliminary economic assessment ("PEA") filed in March 2025.(1) The updated development plan prioritizes the Mineral Point open pit oxide project to drive the next phase of production growth ahead of the Granite Creek open pit oxide project.

- Oxide mineralization identified within the Archimedes underground 426 zone provides significant low-cost processing opportunity: Ongoing metallurgical test work demonstrates the potential to process this oxide material, which was not included in the related March 2025 PEA, on the Ruby Hill property's existing active heap leach pad, providing a significantly lower cost processing option than assumed in the PEA mine plan.

"We are pleased with the continued progress across our operating and near-term development projects as we continue to achieve each major milestone on schedule," stated Richard Young, President & Chief Executive Officer. "Granite Creek underground is ramping up production, and its measured and indicated mineral resources increased by approximately 230% in the September 2026 feasibility study(2) compared with the March 2025 PEA. Thanks to the dedication of our project teams, Archimedes underground remains on track to begin production mining in the fourth quarter of 2026, while the Lone Tree Plant refurbishment continues to advance on schedule toward its first gold pour target in the fourth quarter of 2027."

Mr. Paul Chawrun, Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer added, "Ongoing drilling and technical work continue to reinforce our confidence in the resource expansion potential at Granite Creek and Archimedes underground, and their potential to supply refractory feed to the Lone Tree Plant for longer than previously contemplated. This creates an opportunity to sequence Cove underground later in the development pipeline as a future source of refractory feed and prioritize Mineral Point open pit, our largest growth project, to drive the next stage of production growth. We believe this updated development plan positions us to unlock Mineral Point's substantial value while aligning capital allocation with feed supply and processing capacity. It also continues to support organic growth toward a target of 500,000 to 600,000 ounces of average annual gold production under our broader development plan, and our goal of becoming a mid-tier gold producer in Nevada."(1)

Project Updates

Archimedes Underground

Archimedes underground continues to advance toward first gold mined in the fourth quarter of 2026. Drilling, resource modelling and metallurgical test work are underway to support the feasibility study targeted for completion in approximately mid-2027, pending the timing of additional drilling.(2)

Consistent with previously reported results, ongoing drilling continues to intersect significant intervals of oxide mineralization outside the mineral resource estimate supporting the March 2025 PEA, highlighting potential upside to the PEA mine plan through anticipated lower overall processing costs driven by the oxide portion of the resource. Building on recommendations in the PEA, the Company is evaluating the potential to process this oxide material on the existing active heap leach facilities on the Ruby Hill property where Archimedes is located. Preliminary work indicates an opportunity to heap leach more oxide material than contemplated in the PEA, potentially reducing processing costs relative to processing through the Lone Tree's carbon-in-leach ("CIL") circuit. Metallurgical test work remains ongoing to establish recoveries and assess the viability of this processing option. Refractory material is expected to be stockpiled ahead of Lone Tree's commissioning. Drilling in the lower 426 and Ruby Deeps zones is also evaluating extensions to the mineralized system and the potential to support a longer-term supply of refractory feed to Lone Tree.

Lone Tree Plant Refurbishment

Once refurbished and commissioned as planned in late 2027, the Lone Tree autoclave and CIL plant ("Lone Tree" or the "Plant") is expected to serve as the centralized processing hub for the Company's three underground gold projects and a key cornerstone asset as the Company transitions from toll milling to an owner-operator processing model. Based on the Company's December 2025 engineering study, the Plant is expected to significantly reduce current third-party processing costs resulting in increased cash margins by between $1,000 and $1,500 per ounce of gold, depending on grade and gold price. The Plant was previously operated by Newmont Corporation with significant existing infrastructure located immediately adjacent to Interstate 80.

Bulk demolition was completed in the third quarter of 2026 as planned, and mobilization has begun in preparation for the start of initial construction, with a focus on civil preparation and concrete work. Detailed engineering and procurement continue to advance in line with the construction and commissioning schedule with approximately 74% of procurement packages, by value, awarded as of the end of September 2026.

Refurbishment timing and costs incurred to date remain in line with the Company's December 2025 engineering study, which included a total capital cost estimate of $430 million, inclusive of approximately 12% contingency, owner's cost, and capital spares. Cash expenditures to date are trending below the Company's 2026 guidance of between $140 million to $160 million. Overall labor costs to date are running approximately 5% to 10% above initial estimates, reflecting higher wages and incidentals due to the competitive labor market in Northern Nevada, however these are within the allotted project contingency. Total project capital remains largely as expected with approximately 10% of the total project contingency drawn down and approximately 44% of capital committed at the end of the third quarter of 2026. The Company expects all major procurement and contracts to be in place by the end of 2026 providing greater certainty around the projected cost to complete the project.

The Plant is federally permitted. State level permits have been received on schedule as of the end of September to allow for the mobilization of site contractors to begin construction. The Plant is permitted for the existing operational components in use and the receipt of normal course design and environmental state permits remains on track.

Based on 85% plant availability, Lone Tree is expected to process approximately 2,250 tonnes per day, or approximately 825,000 tonnes per annum. Using integrated pressure oxidation ("POX") and CIL circuits, Lone Tree is designed to be capable of processing both refractory (sulfide) and non-refractory (oxide) mineralized material. i-80 Gold is one of two gold companies in Nevada with autoclave processing capacity (the other being owned by Nevada Gold Mines Inc., a joint venture between Barrick Mining Corporation and Newmont Corporation).

Updated Development Plan

The Company has updated its development plan to align the Plant feed supply, processing capacity, and capital allocation. Within the updated pipeline of projects, the Company's operating and near-term development projects remain on the initial schedule to create a hub-and-spoke mining and processing platform around Lone Tree, while the sequence of medium-to-long term projects has been updated as follows:

1) Establish hub-and-spoke mining and processing platform: Ramp up Granite Creek underground, bring Archimedes underground into production, and refurbish and commission the Lone Tree Plant as a centralized processing facility.

2) Prioritize Mineral Point open pit as the next major development project: Adds a large-scale open pit heap leach project.

SAN DIEGO, Oct. 14, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Equity Insider News Commentary - Global spending on cancer medicines reached $252 billion in 2024 and is forecast to exceed $400 billion by 2028, according to the IQVIA Institute, with the United States accounting for roughly 46% of the total. The pace of new treatments has picked up with it: about 150 new active substances entered the U.S. oncology market between 2015 and 2024, and launch activity in 2020 to 2024 ran nearly 40% ahead of the prior five years. Active Companies from around the markets with current developments this week include: Oncolytics Biotech, Inc. (NASDAQ: ONCY), Revolution Medicines, Inc. (NASDAQ: RVMD), Eli Lilly and Company (NYSE: LLY), Genmab A/S (NASDAQ: GMAB), Exelixis, Inc. (NASDAQ: EXEL).

The past several weeks have shown how quickly that pipeline is turning into new standards of care. On August 26, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved the first broad RAS-targeted medicine for metastatic pancreatic cancer, one of the hardest-to-treat solid tumors. In the first two weeks of October, regulators approved a new first-line use for a blood cancer therapy, a first-line maintenance treatment for HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer and a checkpoint inhibitor combination for stage III mismatch repair-deficient colon cancer, while two large Phase 3 trials in lymphoma and multiple myeloma reported positive topline results.

Gastrointestinal cancers are drawing a growing share of that attention. RAS mutations drive many pancreatic and colorectal tumors, and for years they were considered nearly impossible to drug. Colorectal cancer adds a second challenge: most metastatic cases are microsatellite stable, a form that has generally responded poorly to the checkpoint inhibitors that transformed treatment in other cancers. Companies are attacking the problem from several directions, with targeted RAS inhibitors, new drug combinations and therapies designed to make tumors more visible to the immune system.

Investors will get a fresh look at much of this work soon. The European Society for Medical Oncology holds its 2026 Congress in Madrid from October 23 to 27, one of the largest annual meetings for new cancer data, and two of the companies below have pointed to colorectal cancer updates before year-end.

Oncolytics Biotech, Inc. (NASDAQ: ONCY)

Oncolytics is developing pelareorep, an intravenously delivered immunotherapy designed to turn immunologically "cold" tumors "hot," and colorectal cancer is now at the center of its clinical plans. On September 28 the company reported accelerating enrollment in REO 033, a randomized study in second-line RAS-mutant, microsatellite-stable metastatic colorectal cancer that compares pelareorep plus FOLFIRI and bevacizumab with FOLFIRI and bevacizumab alone. Part A is expected to randomize about 60 patients, with objective response rate as the primary endpoint and progression-free survival, overall survival, safety and biomarkers as additional endpoints.

The study builds on REO 022, a smaller non-randomized trial in which the same pelareorep combination produced a 33% objective response rate, median progression-free survival of 16.6 months and median overall survival of 27.0 months. Oncolytics has said it aligned with the FDA on the concept of a potential pivotal Part B expansion, with a proposed accelerated approval path based on response rate and progression-free survival as the basis for potential full approval. Pelareorep holds FDA Fast Track designation in colorectal, anal and pancreatic cancer and has been administered to more than 1,200 patients.

"Given the current pace of enrollment, we expect to have the ability to report interim data from Part A by year-end," said John McAdory, Chief Operating Officer.

The company has also been adding scientific support around the program. In September it reported preclinical results combining pelareorep with a pan-RAS inhibitor in a RAS-driven colorectal cancer model, in which the combination showed no evidence of antagonism, and it announced a peer-reviewed publication in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences showing that pelareorep changed the liver tumor microenvironment from immunologically inactive to active in preclinical models.

In other industry developments and happenings in the market this week include:

Revolution Medicines, Inc. (NASDAQ: RVMD)

Revolution Medicines announced on August 26 that the FDA approved RASONQUE (daraxonrasib), a once-daily oral tablet, for adults with metastatic pancreatic cancer who have received at least one prior systemic therapy or cannot receive multiagent therapy. In the Phase 3 RASolute 302 trial, median overall survival was 13.2 months with daraxonrasib versus 6.7 months with chemotherapy. The company has said it expects to share updated colorectal cancer data and strategy in the fourth quarter of 2026.

"The FDA approval of RASONQUE is a monumental step forward for patients with pancreatic cancer and for the oncology field," said Mark A. Goldsmith, M.D., Ph.D., Chief Executive Officer and Chairman.

Eli Lilly and Company (NYSE: LLY)

Lilly announced on October 2 that the FDA approved Jaypirca (pirtobrutinib) for adults with previously untreated chronic lymphocytic leukemia or small lymphocytic lymphoma without a known 17p deletion. In the BRUIN CLL-313 trial, Jaypirca reduced the risk of progression or death by 80% compared with bendamustine plus rituximab, with an overall response rate of 94% versus 81%.

Genmab A/S (NASDAQ: GMAB)

Genmab and AbbVie announced on October 5 that the Phase 3 EPCORE DLBCL-2 trial of epcoritamab plus R-CHOP met its primary endpoint in newly diagnosed diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, reducing the risk of progression or death by 51% compared with R-CHOP alone. The companies plan to present the data at a future medical meeting and to engage with global regulators.

Exelixis, Inc. (NASDAQ: EXEL)

Exelixis disclosed that the FDA extended its review of zanzalintinib in combination with atezolizumab for metastatic colorectal cancer by three months after the company submitted updated safety and efficacy information, which the agency classed as a major amendment. The new target action date is March 3, 2027.

Dr. Daniel Amen calls for greater attention to lifelong brain health following research involving more than 187,000 adults.

NEWPORT BEACH, Calif., Oct. 14, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- A new JAMA Psychiatry study of 187,341 adults aged 50 and older found that 6.7% of participants diagnosed with ADHD developed mild cognitive impairment or dementia, compared with 3.4% without ADHD. After statistical adjustment, an ADHD diagnosis was associated with a 4.6-fold higher hazard of cognitive impairment.

For psychiatrist and brain imaging expert Daniel G. Amen, MD, founder of Amen Clinics, the findings reinforce a message he has championed for decades: Mental health is brain health.

"For too long, ADHD has been treated primarily as a problem with attention, behavior, or motivation," said Dr. Amen. "But ADHD is a brain-based condition. When we ignore the brain and the other risk factors that threaten it, we may miss opportunities to protect people's memory, mood, and long-term health."

Brain Imaging and Early Awareness

Dr. Amen's clinical approach includes brain SPECT imaging, which measures patterns of cerebral blood flow and activity. He believes evaluating brain function alongside symptoms, health history and risk factors can support a more individualized approach to care. The new study did not examine SPECT, and SPECT is not an established screening test for predicting dementia decades before symptoms appear.

"One of the most important lessons from our brain imaging work is that people with similar symptoms can have very different patterns of brain function," Amen said. "If you want to understand a person's behavior, you must also consider the health and function of the organ that produces it."

The 11 BRIGHT MINDS Risk Factors

Dr. Amen's BRIGHT MINDS framework highlights 11 areas relevant to brain health: Blood flow, Retirement and aging, Inflammation, Genetics, Head trauma, Toxins, Mental health, Immunity and infections, Neurohormones, Diabesity, and Sleep. ADHD may make certain health routines and coexisting conditions more difficult to manage, which makes individualized assessment especially important.

"ADHD does not automatically cause all 11 BRIGHT MINDS risk factors," Amen explained. "But it can make some of them more likely or harder to manage. And when risk factors accumulate, protecting the brain becomes even more important."

ADHD Is Not a Dementia Diagnosis

The observational study does not establish that ADHD causes Alzheimer's disease or dementia, and it does not determine whether ADHD treatment prevents cognitive decline. Dr. Amen encourages adults to discuss new or progressive memory symptoms with a qualified clinician and address modifiable health risks, including physical inactivity, high blood pressure, metabolic conditions, insufficient sleep, harmful substance use and untreated mental health concerns.

"Having ADHD does not mean dementia is inevitable," Amen said. "It means we should be more intentional about protecting the brain. The earlier we identify and address the risks, the more opportunities we have to support a healthier future."

His Amen WHOLE-4 approach also emphasizes Brain and Body, Mind, Relationships and Spirit. With National Alzheimer's Disease Awareness Month approaching in November, Dr. Amen hopes the research sparks earlier conversations about lifelong cognitive health.

About Dr. Daniel G. Amen

Daniel G. Amen, MD, is a double board-certified psychiatrist, founder and CEO of Amen Clinics, and an author and educator on brain health. For more than 40 years, he has advocated for integrating brain biology, mental health, lifestyle and brain imaging into psychiatric care.
