PALO ALTO, Calif., Oct. 06, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Wealthfront Corporation (Nasdaq: WLTH) today reported select monthly metrics for September 2026.

“We drove strong Net Deposits across the platform in September, reflecting the strength of our best-in-class products that give clients smart, reliable ways to build wealth across various macroeconomic environments,” said CEO David Fortunato. “September marked our third consecutive month of positive Cash Net Deposits. In the second half of the month, Cash Net Deposits benefited from a higher Cash Account APY after we immediately passed along the 25 basis point Fed rate hike, which was partially offset by clients making quarterly cash tax payments during the month. We remain focused on driving cross-product adoption in transition environments like we are in today, including by building on our proven success with client incentives that helped lift asset-weighted cross-product adoption month-over-month to just under 64% at the end of September.”

• Total Platform Assets at the end of September 2026 were $100.5 billion, relatively flat since the end of August 2026 and an increase of 9% year-over-year.
  • Cash Management Assets at the end of September 2026 were $45.3 billion, relatively flat since the end of August 2026 and a decrease of 4% year-over-year.
  • Investment Advisory Assets at the end of September 2026 were $55.2 billion, a decrease of 1% from the end of August 2026 and an increase of 24% year-over-year.
• Total Net Deposits in September 2026 were $532 million. This consisted of Cash Management Net Deposits of $194 million and Investment Advisory Net Deposits of $338 million.
• Funded Clients at the end of September 2026 were 1.54 million, an increase of 1% from the end of August 2026 and 13% year-over-year.

Note: Subtotals may not add up to totals due to rounding.

Additional Commentary:

• September 2026-end Annualized Cash Management Fee Rate: As of the end of September 2026, our annualized cash management fee rate was roughly 55 basis points.
• Expected F3Q27 Employer Tax Expenses Tied to Options Exercises by Former Employees: As noted during the F2Q27 earnings call, F3Q27 results will include one-time employer tax expenses tied to options exercises by former employees ahead of a September exercise deadline. We now expect to incur roughly $1.2 million in one-time employer tax expenses tied to options exercises by former employees in F3Q27, predominantly within product development expenses. Note, while these expenses are tied to a one-time event, these expenses will be included in both GAAP and adjusted F3Q27 results.

Completes Navitas’ high-power portfolio with Claros’ IVR technology, enabling vertical and embedded architectures and providing last step in power delivery to the core

Navitas to host webinar ‘Breaking the AI Infrastructure Power Wall: From Grid-to-xPU’, unveiling Claros’ technology and differentiation on October 20, 2026

TORRANCE, Calif., Oct. 06, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Navitas Semiconductor (Nasdaq: NVTS) (Navitas or “the Company”), a leader in next-generation power semiconductors and power delivery solutions, pioneering GaN, high-voltage and ultra-high-voltage SiC, and IVR technologies, today announced the closing of its previously announced acquisition of Claros, Inc. (Claros), a power management solutions company developing integrated voltage regulator (IVR) technology for next-generation AI data centers, providing the last step to powering the xPU.

The completed transaction extends Navitas’ AI infrastructure portfolio from the grid to the xPU, bringing industry-leading IVR capabilities. Claros™ IVR integrates power transistors, digital control, inductors and capacitors into a single IVR technology stack to enable next-generation Vertical Power Delivery (VPD) and Embedded Power Delivery (EPD) architectures. Its Packaged Integrated Voltage Regulator (pIVR) and Embedded Integrated Voltage Regulator (eIVR) products, based off the same Claros IVR technology stack, move power conversion closer to the xPU and deliver higher efficiency, faster transient response and greater power density, while the modular PowerArray™ architecture scales power delivery to meet the rapidly increasing demands of next-generation processors at the center of modern AI systems.

Combined with Navitas’ GaN and high-voltage and ultra-high-voltage SiC technologies that enable the new 800V DC architecture, the Company is “breaking the AI infrastructure power wall” by addressing the efficiency, power density and performance bottlenecks emerging as AI data centers and xPUs demand dramatically more power.

“Closing this acquisition is a defining step in the Navitas 2.0 transformation and our strategy to power AI infrastructure from grid-to-xPU,” said Chris Allexandre, President and CEO of Navitas. “With power now the bottleneck for AI, increases in power delivery and efficiency are the key enablers of more compute output. The future of AI depends on delivering thousands of amps to increasingly power-hungry processors with unprecedented speed and precision, in addition to re-redefining the racks with higher power centralized systems and higher density architectures. This ‘power wall’ has restricted next-generation xPUs in megawatt-scale server racks from achieving the next wave of AI performance. Navitas 2.0 brings together GaN, high-voltage and ultra-high-voltage SiC, and now IVR technologies to break the power wall and address power conversion across the complete grid-to-xPU architecture.

“Additionally, this combination doubles our serviceable addressable market (SAM), deepens our engagement with hyperscalers and AI power platform providers, and strengthens our capabilities and leadership in power delivery for AI infrastructure. As AI power demand accelerates, we are uniquely positioned to deliver greater value for our customers, while driving sustainable long-term growth.”

Navitas expects the acquisition to more than double the Company’s identified 2030 SAM to over $8 billion, adding at least $3.5 billion from the rapidly growing VPD and IVR markets. Combined with Navitas’ existing $3.5 billion SAM for GaN and HV/UHV SiC and approximately $1 billion from new JFET technology, the transaction significantly expands Navitas’ opportunity across the complete grid-to-xPU power chain.

Webinar Presentation | Breaking the AI Infrastructure Power Wall: From Grid-to-xPU
	Speakers:	Chris Allexandre – Navitas President and CEO
		Llew Vaughan-Edmunds – Navitas Chief Marketing Officer
		Dan Kultran – VP & GM, IVR Business Unit, former CEO & Claros Co-founder
	When: Tuesday, October 20
	Time: 8:00 a.m. Pacific Time (11:00 a.m. Eastern Time)

About Navitas

Navitas Semiconductor (Nasdaq: NVTS) is a leader in next-generation power semiconductors and power delivery solutions, pioneering GaN, high-voltage and ultra-high-voltage SiC, and IVR technologies for AI infrastructure, including data centers and energy and grid systems, as well as additional markets such as high-performance computing and industrial electrification. Collectively, these technologies address the complete grid-to-xPU power architecture, breaking the AI infrastructure power wall and enabling higher efficiency, greater power density, and increased performance across the entire power chain. Navitas’ GaNFast™ FETs deliver industry-leading power density, efficiency, and high-speed performance, while GaNFast™ power ICs integrate GaN power, drive, control, sensing, and protection to enable faster, more efficient power conversion, leading to smaller and more reliable systems. The GeneSiC™ portfolio combines proprietary trench-assisted planar (TAP) SiC technology with leading-edge discrete packaging and SiCPAK™ power modules to deliver industry-leading efficiency, ruggedness and performance. Claros™ IVR technologies extend power delivery directly to the xPU, enabling customers to implement vertical power delivery (VPD) and embedded power delivery (EPD) architectures with high-density power conversion beneath or within millimeters of the processor, minimizing power-delivery losses and impedance while enabling ultra-fast transient response, higher efficiency and maximum power density. Navitas has over 450 patents issued or pending and is a leader in 800 VDC and the advanced AI power infrastructure ecosystem.

• Investing $1.8 billion in new company-owned natural gas generation
• Providing up to 590 megawatts (MW) of grid-connected energy service and managing 2.1 gigawatts (GW) of third-party contracted resources through a private microgrid
• Strong customer protections including no cost shifting to other customers
• Return on generation investment and microgrid management fees are contracted to begin contributing to earnings in 2027, and expected to provide approximately $150 million of net income in 2030
• Expected to generate approximately $2.4 billion of unlevered free cash flow through 2048, net of $1.8 billion of capital expenditures

RAPID CITY, S.D., Oct. 06, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Black Hills Corp. (NYSE: BKH) today announced it has signed definitive agreements effective Sept. 30, 2026, with terms through 2048, to serve a planned Google data center to be constructed in Cheyenne, Wyoming. The negotiated agreements include a Large Power Contract Services Agreement (LPCSA) and a Generation Facilities Agreement (GFA).

The project, exclusive of additional transmission system expansion investments, is anticipated to be served by a total resource mix of 2.7 GW, including reserve margins, and is planned to begin taking energy service in late 2027 and ramp to the project’s peak load in 2030. Black Hills will provide up to 590 MW of grid-connected energy service through company-owned generation and market energy. In addition, Black Hills will manage the output of approximately 2.1 GW of Wyoming-based, third-party contracted resources through a privately managed microgrid under the company’s Large Power Contract Service (LPCS) tariff.

To support the project, Black Hills plans to invest $1.8 billion between 2027 and 2029 to construct 564 MW (nameplate capacity) of company-owned generation. The company expects to begin earning a return on its generation investment when construction begins in 2027. Revenue from microgrid management fees (MGMF) is anticipated to begin in late 2027 and increase based upon a contractually defined ramp schedule included in the LPCSA.

The project is expected to provide approximately $150 million of net income in 2030. Beyond 2030 and as contracted, the company will continue to earn MGMF and a return on its capital investment to be fully depreciated by 2048. The project is expected to deliver approximately $2.4 billion of unlevered free cash flow, net of $1.8 billion of generation capital investment. This cash flow will meaningfully strengthen the company’s financial profile, supporting a strong balance sheet, providing significant flexibility to finance the near-term investment, and creating substantial long-term flexibility for capital allocation.

“We are pleased to support Google’s planned investment in Wyoming while remaining firmly committed to providing safe, reliable, and cost-effective service to every customer,” said Linn Evans, president and CEO of Black Hills Corp. “The agreements demonstrate how innovative energy solutions can support economic growth while ensuring existing customers are protected. Importantly, these agreements and supporting regulatory mechanisms are structured so that Google bears all costs associated with serving the planned data center throughout the life of the project. We are excited that this project will create jobs, strengthen regional infrastructure, and contribute to Wyoming’s long-term economic development.”
        
Earning on generation investments and management of third-party resources through flexible Wyoming service model

To provide 590 MW of grid-connected service, Black Hills will construct and own through a non-regulated affiliate 564 MW (nameplate capacity) of new natural gas generation located at the company’s existing Cheyenne Prairie Generating Station (CPGS) location. The remaining 26 MW will be supplied through a combination of market energy purchases and retail utility service provided under the company’s applicable industrial tariff.

In addition to recovering and earning a return on its generation investment, Black Hills will receive MGMF revenue for coordinating grid operations, reliability services, and energy dispatch across the portfolio of contracted resources and market energy purchases to serve the planned data center. The MGMF is a negotiated rate based upon a contracted minimum peak load expected to begin in 2027 and increase throughout the project’s ramp period.

The company expects to finance the $1.8 billion generation investment through a combination of project-generated cash flow, debt, and other financing alternatives, and is evaluating a range of financing options, with a focus on earnings accretion while maintaining our solid investment-grade credit ratings. Strong cash flow, contractual pass-through of debt costs, cash return on the investment during construction, and a risk-adjusted return on the capital investment provide substantial flexibility in determining the optimal financing mix. Google has provided Black Hills with $399 million of refundable advances for the procurement of long lead-time equipment under the parties’ generation reservation agreement. Black Hills expects to reimburse those advances by June 30, 2027.

Agreements provide benefits and protections for customers and shareholders

The project is structured to ensure that costs associated with serving the planned data center do not shift to existing retail customers. The agreements provide Black Hills with long-term revenue certainty and include multiple protections for customers and shareholders throughout the 2048 contract term.

Importantly, the announced agreements include the following base retail customer protections, among others:

• Cost pass-through mechanisms – contract structures protect customers from costs associated with the planned data center while protecting returns from inflation, interest rate volatility, and other cost pressures;
• Stranded asset risk protection – the GFA provides for full recovery of all generation capital investment over the contract term, protecting customers against risk of stranded assets;
• Early termination protection – contract provisions safeguard customers and shareholders should the project terminate prior to the end of the agreements’ term; and
• Credit protections – strong collateral and financial assurance requirements back the data center’s long-term commitments.

To further support this project, the company has completed or commenced regulatory matters, including the:

• Robinson substation Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity (CPCN) approved in May 2026;
• Industrial siting permit for CPGS expansion filed in July 2026; and
• Air quality permit for CPGS expansion approved in August 2026.

Additionally, the company is anticipating additional transmission investment to serve this project and other regional large-load opportunities that provide upside to its current capital plan. The company is advancing its transmission plans through the following regulatory filings:

• Large Customer Transmission Cost Adjustment Mechanism (LCTCAM) filed in June 2026;
• South Cheyenne Transmission Expansion CPCN filed in September 2026; and
• Wyoming transmission expansion CPCN to be filed in the fourth quarter of 2026.
