Fiscal Year 2026 Operating Highlights

Mr. Feng Xie, founder and chairman of Gamehaus, commented: "Fiscal 2026 was the last full year prior to the implementation of the strategic initiatives we announced earlier. Last month, we set out the strategic initiatives we are undertaking, and beginning with fiscal year 2027, we will progressively implement our new strategic initiatives, directing our resources toward the development and distribution of AI-generated content. The economics of user acquisition in the casual category have changed structurally, and we have chosen to respond by managing our legacy portfolio for cash flow and return rather than for scale, and by reallocating resources toward the directions opened up by generative technology. We enter this transition from a position of financial strength, and our Board has extended our share repurchase program for a further year. We believe our balance sheet provides a strong foundation to fund this transition on our own terms, and we intend to do so."

Fourth Quarter of Fiscal Year 2026 Unaudited Financial Results

Revenue

Total revenue was US$24.3 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2026, decreasing 20.8% from US$30.7 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2025. The decrease was primarily driven by a strategic reduction in user acquisition spending and a deliberate adjustment of our marketing approach in response to evolving platform dynamics and competitive market conditions.

Advertising costs decreased by 13.5% in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2026 compared to the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2025, contributing to lower traffic volumes and new player acquisition, which weighed on top-line performance. In-app purchase revenue decreased 22.2% to US$21.7 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2026 from US$27.9 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2025, while advertising revenue was US$2.6 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2026, compared to US$2.8 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2025. The impact of lower user volumes was partially mitigated by improvements in per-user monetization, supported by ongoing content optimization and targeted live-ops initiatives that deepened engagement and spending across the Company's active player base.

Operating Costs and Expenses

Total operating costs and expenses were US$25.1 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2026, representing a 14.4% reduction from US$29.3 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2025.

- Cost of revenue decreased by 17.4% to US$12.0 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2026, from US$14.5 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2025. The decline was primarily driven by lower platform commission costs, as well as adjustments to developer profit-sharing arrangements as certain titles progress through their lifecycle.

- Research and development expenses remained stable, increasing 0.8% to US$1.5 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2026, from US$1.4 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2025. The modest increase reflects the Company's continued investment in previously initiated game development and related research and development initiatives.

- Selling and marketing expenses decreased by 13.6% to US$10.2 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2026, from US$11.8 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2025. The decrease was largely attributable to a US$1.5 million reduction in advertising spend on player acquisition and retention, as the Company maintained a structured approach to reduce marketing investment amid uneven ad performance across major platforms, including Apple App Store and Google Play, through which the Company distributes games to game players or users, while continuing to optimize spend efficiency on mature titles.

- General and administrative expenses were US$1.4 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2026, representing a decrease of 6.6% from US$1.5 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2025. The decrease was primarily attributable to lower personnel costs resulting from a reduction in headcount, as well as enhanced operational efficiency driven by the increased adoption of artificial intelligence ("AI")-enabled tools across the Company's administrative functions.

Operating Income

Operating loss was US$0.8 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2026, compared to US$1.4 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2025. Operating margin was negative 3.1% in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2026, compared to positive 4.6% in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2025.

Other Income, Net

Other income, net, which mainly included the Company's investment income, interest income and expenses, non-operating income and expenses, and other income and expenses, was US$1.6 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2026, compared to US$0.1 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2025.

Net Income

Net income was US$0.9 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2026, compared to US$1.5 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2025. Net income attributable to Gamehaus Holdings Inc.'s shareholders per ordinary share was US$0.02 for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2026, compared to US$0.03 in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2025.

Fiscal Year 2026 Unaudited Financial Results

Revenue

Total revenue was US$104.7 million for the fiscal year 2026, decreasing 11.4% from US$118.0 million in the prior fiscal year. The decrease was primarily driven by a strategic reduction in user acquisition spending and a deliberate adjustment of our marketing approach in response to evolving platform dynamics and competitive market conditions.

Advertising costs decreased 15.8% year-over-year, including a significant reduction in advertising costs, which led to lower traffic and user acquisition volumes and impacted both revenue streams. In-app purchase revenue decreased 11.2% to US$94.5 million in the fiscal year 2026 from US$106.3 million in the fiscal year 2025, while advertising revenue was US$10.2 million in the fiscal year 2026, compared to US$11.7 million in the fiscal year 2025. The impact of lower user volumes was partially mitigated by improvements in per-user monetization, supported by ongoing content optimization and targeted live-ops initiatives that deepened engagement and spending across the Company's active player base.

Operating Costs and Expenses

Total operating costs and expenses were US$103.3 million for the fiscal year 2026, representing a 9.9% decrease from US$114.7 million in the prior fiscal year.

- Cost of revenue decreased by 11.4% to US$49.5 million in the fiscal year 2026, from US$55.9 million in the prior fiscal year, reflecting lower platform commission costs, as well as adjustments to developer profit-sharing arrangements as certain titles progress through their lifecycle.

- Research and development expenses increased 11.4% to US$6.3 million in the fiscal year 2026, from US$5.7 million in the prior fiscal year, primarily reflecting the Company's continued investment in game development and related research and development initiatives.

- Selling and marketing expenses decreased by 15.2% to US$41.0 million in the fiscal year 2026, from US$48.4 million in the prior fiscal year. The decrease was largely attributable to a US$7.3 million reduction in advertising spend on player acquisition and retention, as the Company maintained a structured approach to reduce marketing investment amid uneven ad performance across major platforms, including Apple App Store and Google Play, through which the Company distributes games to game players or users, while continuing to optimize spend efficiency on mature titles.

- General and administrative expenses were US$6.4 million in the fiscal year 2026, representing an increase of 36.5% from US$4.7 million in the prior fiscal year. The increase was primarily due to higher personnel costs associated with the continued build-out of the Company's public company infrastructure, including corporate governance and investor relations functions, as well as selective hiring to strengthen management capacity and key operational roles in support of the Company's expanding business. This increase was partially offset in the fourth quarter of the year by headcount reductions and enhanced operating efficiency resulting from the increased adoption of AI-enabled tools across the Company's administrative functions.

Pet Supplies Delivery (2026): Same-Day Options for Pet Food, Litter, and Heavy Pet Essentials by Consumer365

NEW YORK CITY, Sept. 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Consumer365 has released a new guide examining how same-day retail delivery can help pet owners manage routine restocks, urgent shortages, and heavier purchases such as bags of food and litter. The article looks at DoorDash as an example of how delivery apps now serve everyday shopping needs alongside restaurant orders.

Pet Supplies Delivery

- DoorDash - provides same-day delivery of pet food, litter, and other eligible pet supplies from participating stores

The guide looks at practical situations that may send a pet owner searching for delivery. A household may run out of dog food, need cat litter without access to a car, or require puppy pads before bringing home a new pet. Large bags can also be difficult to carry on public transportation.

Consumer365 explains where same-day service may help with time-sensitive errands, planned replenishment, and heavy purchases. The article also reviews recurring delivery and the details consumers should check before ordering.

What Pet Essentials May Be Available for Delivery?

Depending on the customer's area and current inventory, DoorDash may offer:

- Dog food, cat food, fish food, and reptile food, including live crickets where offered

- Cat litter, puppy pads, waste bags, and other cleanup supplies

- Treats, toys, feeding accessories, grooming goods, and other routine pet-care items

Available brands may include Purina, Blue Buffalo, Royal Canin, Freshpet, JustFoodForDogs, Stella & Chewy's, Taste of the Wild, PetSmart, and Petco. Stores, brands, products, and package sizes vary by location.

Why Can Same-Day Delivery Help With Heavy Pet Supplies?

Pet food and litter are bought repeatedly, yet both often come in bulky packages. Same-day delivery can help people living in apartments, households without a vehicle, or anyone managing a packed schedule. It may also assist during cleanup emergencies, travel preparation, or the first days with a newly adopted animal.

Customers can browse participating stores and order eligible goods through DoorDash. DoorDash offers same-day service, with orders delivered in as fast as 30 minutes*. Timing, fees, inventory, and store availability differ by address, so customers should review the in-app estimate.

*Delivery times vary by location. See app for estimate.

How Does Pet Delivery Fit Into DoorDash's Retail Expansion?

DoorDash's app connects customers with more than 100,000 grocery, convenience, and retail stores. Pet care is part of that network, along with beauty, electronics, apparel, gifts, and household goods.

For pet owners, the practical value is access to routine supplies through an app that may already be used for meal delivery.

What Should Consumers Review Before Ordering?

Before ordering, customers should review package size, quantity, product details, delivery estimate, fees, and recurring-order eligibility. Food type and life-stage requirements also warrant care, especially for young animals, fish, reptiles, or pets with prescribed diets.

Final Thoughts

As pet ownership continues to grow, so does the need for more flexible ways to shop for everyday essentials. Same-day delivery services can help bridge the gap when schedules are tight, transportation is limited, or supplies run out unexpectedly.

While availability varies by location, DoorDash may offer a convenient way to access food, litter, and other pet necessities without an extra trip to the store.

For additional details about DoorDash's retail delivery services, read the full guide on the Consumer365 website.

Multi-cluster, multi-cloud Kubernetes orchestration project reaches production maturity as global enterprises scale AI training and inference across hybrid infrastructure

Key Highlights

- Karmada has graduated from the CNCF, recognizing the project's maturity as an open source engine for orchestrating applications across multiple Kubernetes clusters, clouds, and regions without modifying the applications themselves.

- Karmada v1.19 release advances multi-component scheduling for distributed AI training jobs.

- Global enterprises and leading cloud, telecom, and AI platforms, including Bloomberg, Wellhub, Alibaba Cloud, Huawei, and Trip.com, rely on Karmada for hybrid cloud capacity, multi-region resilience, and multi-cluster AI infrastructure.

SHANGHAI, Sept. 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- KubeCon + CloudNativeCon + OpenInfra Summit + PyTorch Conference China 2026 — The Cloud Native Computing Foundation® (CNCF®), which builds sustainable ecosystems for cloud native software, today announces the graduation of Karmada, an open source project that lets organizations run applications across multiple Kubernetes clusters, clouds, and regions without changing the applications themselves.

This milestone comes as Karmada advances multi-cluster AI infrastructure through its v1.19 release, which advances multi-component scheduling for distributed AI training jobs and promotes priority-based scheduling to Beta, enabled by default, to ensure critical workloads are scheduled first. The project's production footprint now powers mission-critical infrastructure for a diverse global adopter base, ranging from global enterprises like Bloomberg and Wellhub to major cloud, telecom, and AI platforms across Asia.

"As organizations scale Kubernetes across clusters and GPU constrained AI environments, having a production ready way to coordinate that fleet becomes critical to operational success," said Chris Aniszczyk, CTO, CNCF. "Reaching CNCF graduation demonstrates that Karmada has achieved the technical maturity, governance, and security work required for the enterprise; we look forward to seeing the project continue to grow within the ecosystem."

Short for Kubernetes Armada, Karmada extends the standard Kubernetes API with centralized placement, propagation, failover, and multi-cluster autoscaling. Karmada's CNCF history dates back to its first commit in November 2020. The project then officially joined in September 2021 as a Sandbox project before advancing to Incubating status in December 2023.

Since joining CNCF, Karmada has grown to more than 1,214 contributors across 292 contributing organizations and more than 5,600 GitHub stars. Its production adopter base includes a significant portion of Chinese cloud, internet, telecom, AI, travel, logistics, device, and enterprise organizations, including Alibaba Cloud, Bilibili, Huawei, iFLYTEK, JDCloud, Kuaishou, RedNote, SenseTime, Trip.com, Vivo, WPS, and ZTO, alongside global adopters like Bloomberg and Wellhub. These companies use Karmada to support hybrid cloud capacity, multi-region resilience, intelligent traffic distribution, AI training, GPU/CPU scheduling, multi-cluster application delivery, and fleet-wide service-configuration distribution.

Karmada also integrates directly with existing CNCF observability and deployment projects: it exports Prometheus metrics across its control-plane components, packages an etcd instance for control-plane state, and ships Helm charts for installation.

"I am proud that Karmada has grown into critical infrastructure that large enterprises count on — powering everything from microservices to big data and AI," said Hongcai Ren, Karmada maintainer. "None of this would have happened without the open, neutral platform CNCF built, where adopters and developers explore this space side by side. Graduation is a new starting point: we look forward to partnering with more adopters, learning from richer real-world scenarios, and working with the broader ecosystem to tackle the challenges of AI and agent infrastructure together."

Karmada's broader 2026 roadmap builds on that foundation, moving multi-cluster Kubernetes from basic workload propagation toward a more resource-aware control plane. It also includes priority-based preemption, multi-cluster queuing for AI training and batch jobs, and multi-cluster support for Kubernetes Dynamic Resource Allocation (DRA) across GPUs and other accelerators.

To reach graduation status, Karmada completed a third-party security audit, established a formal steering committee to ensure transparent governance, and adopted the CNCF Code of Conduct. The project also maintains a Core Infrastructure Initiative (CII) Best Practices Badge, demonstrating a commitment to secure software development.

The CNCF Technical Oversight Committee (TOC) provides technical leadership to the cloud native community, defining its vision and stewarding projects through maturity levels up to graduation.

The announcement was made during KubeCon + CloudNativeCon + OpenInfra Summit + PyTorch Conference China 2026, where these three Foundations convened together in China for the first time on a single stage, underscoring the growing need for multi-cluster orchestration that spans private data centers, public clouds, and specialized AI hardware.

Supporting Quotes

"As organizations scale beyond a single Kubernetes cluster, they need consistent management without added complexity. Karmada solves this by extending familiar Kubernetes APIs to work across clusters and clouds. With maintainers across six organizations and adopters running it at significant scale, we congratulate Karmada on its successful graduation as a CNCF project," – Chad Beaudin, TOC Sponsor.

"Karmada has become foundational to how Bloomberg operates resilient cloud native infrastructure. By automating disaster recovery, improving resource utilization, and simplifying the management of individual Kubernetes clusters, it has enabled our platform engineering teams to operate more efficiently, while also giving internal application teams a simpler, more consistent experience deploying jobs. As close collaborators with the Karmada community over the past few years, we have seen this open source project continue to evolve, and its graduation reflects its growing importance to enterprise organizations that are managing complex Kubernetes environments." – Michas Szacillo, Engineering Team Lead of Bloomberg's Streaming Platform and Karmada maintainer

"At Trip.com, Karmada has become a critical part of our multi-cluster infrastructure and has delivered significant value in production. Without changing existing Kubernetes resource definitions, it has enabled us to operate multiple clusters as a unified resource pool, support cross-cluster elasticity and failover, bring new clusters into production more efficiently, and perform large-scale workload migration with minimal disruption to applications. This has greatly reduced the complexity of operating infrastructure at scale. As computing increasingly spans regions, clouds, and heterogeneous resources, we believe Karmada will become an essential foundation for reliable and scalable cloud-native and AI infrastructure." – Honghui Yue, Senior Development Expert, Trip.com

"Karmada powers multi-cluster orchestration in DaoCloud's enterprise platform, helping customers implement multi-cloud strategies through a consistent, Kubernetes-native experience across clusters and environments. Compatibility with Kubernetes APIs and existing toolchains makes it practical for production, while our community participation turns customer feedback into upstream improvements. We are extending this foundation to our AI Token Factory architecture as multi-cluster inference across data centers becomes increasingly important. Graduation gives us greater confidence in Karmada as a long-term foundation, and we look forward to contributing more capabilities for production AI inference," – Kay Yan, Chief Architect, DaoCloud.

MEXC Launches "Trade Wall Street Without Walls" to Break Traditional Barriers to Stock Market Participation

74.2% of surveyed TradFi users have shifted some or all traditional asset trading activity to crypto exchanges, reflecting growing demand for more flexible market access

MUTSAMUDU, Comoros, Sept. 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- MEXC, a pioneer in 0-fee digital asset trading, today launched "Trade Wall Street, Without Walls." The campaign highlights how crypto-native trading is reducing traditional barriers to stock market participation, including access, fees and limited trading hours. As crypto exchanges expand into traditional assets, retail users are gaining more flexible ways to access and trade global market opportunities.

The campaign comes amid a broader shift in how investors trade traditional financial assets. Recent research from MEXC and CoinGecko found that 74.2% of surveyed users with traditional finance experience had shifted some or all of their traditional asset trading activity to crypto exchanges. Among the biggest frustrations users cited with traditional brokerages were limited trading hours, at 58.8%, and high fees, at 54.7%. In contrast, 24/7 market access and more competitive fees ranked among the leading reasons users chose to move traditional asset trading activity to centralized exchanges.

The findings point to a change that goes beyond simply making more assets available on crypto platforms. Investors are not only looking for more assets. They are also looking for a different way to access and trade them. The always-on, lower-friction trading experience developed in crypto is increasingly influencing expectations across a broader financial landscape, particularly as users move more easily between crypto, stocks, commodities, tokenized assets and other markets.

"Trade Wall Street, Without Walls." brings this shift to life through five traditional market "walls": the Access Wall, Fee Wall, Time Wall, Capital Wall and Direction Wall. Together, they represent common constraints that have historically shaped retail participation in stock markets, from where and when users can trade to the costs, capital requirements and trading strategies available to them. The campaign highlights how crypto-native market infrastructure is beginning to reduce these frictions and create more flexible ways for retail users to participate in traditional financial opportunities.

On MEXC, this evolution is reflected in a growing range of stock-related products and participation models across different stages of the market. The MEXC Stock Ecosystem spans the full market lifecycle, from Pre-IPO to IPO and Post-IPO, including Pre-IPO Futures and Pre-IPO Launchpad for the Pre-IPO stage, IPO Launchpad and IPO Express for the IPO stage, and RealStocks, Tokenized Stocks, and Stock Futures for Post-IPO markets. Bringing private-market themes, public equities and derivatives into a more integrated trading environment. Selected products also offer features such as 0-fee trading, USDT-based participation, extended or around-the-clock market access, and the ability to take both long and short positions, giving users more flexibility in how they respond to different market conditions. Product availability and trading conditions may vary by region and product.

"The biggest change is not simply that more traditional assets are becoming available on crypto platforms. It is that the way retail users access and trade those assets is changing," said Vugar Usi Zade, CEO of MEXC. "For decades, traditional markets have been shaped by boundaries around access, time, cost, capital and direction. Crypto-native infrastructure gives us an opportunity to rethink many of those constraints and build a market experience that is more open, flexible and responsive to the needs of retail users."

The shift also reflects a broader convergence between crypto and traditional finance. As centralized exchanges evolve from crypto-only trading venues into broader multi-asset platforms, the distinction between where users trade crypto and where they access traditional assets is becoming less rigid. For retail investors, this means the value of a platform is increasingly defined not only by the number of assets it offers, but also by how easily users can move across different markets, respond to opportunities and manage capital within a single trading environment.

At the same time, reducing structural barriers is only one part of broader market participation. As crypto-native users gain access to more stocks and traditional financial products, the ability to understand different markets, evaluate opportunities and assess risk becomes increasingly important. Alongside "Trade Wall Street, Without Walls.", MEXC is also introducing Opportunity Compass, a global markets education initiative designed to help users build a more systematic understanding of asset classes, market drivers, emerging financial models and risk in an increasingly multi-asset environment.

PeproMene Bio Announces Publication in The Lancet of Breakthrough Phase 1 Clinical Trial Results Demonstrating Deep and Durable Complete Responses in Relapsed/Refractory B-cell Lymphomas, including after prior CD19 CAR T-cell failure

News provided by

PeproMene Bio, Inc.; Institute for Follicular Lymphoma Innovation (IFLI)

Sep 08, 2026, 06:01 ET

IRVINE, Calif., Sept. 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- PeproMene Bio, Inc. today announced the publication in The Lancet, one of the world's leading medical journals, of results from its Phase 1 clinical trial evaluating PMB-CT01, the company's first-in-class BAFF-R-targeted CAR T-cell therapy, in patients with relapsed or refractory B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma.

The publication reports durable complete clinical responses, together with a more favorable safety profile compared with approved CAR T-cell therapies. Seven of nine treated patients (80%) achieved a complete response (CR), including four of six patients who had progressed after conventional CD19-directed CAR T-cell therapy ("CAR after CAR"). All complete responses remained ongoing at the time of data cutoff, with no relapses observed and the longest ongoing complete response reaching 35 months, suggesting the likelihood of cure.

PMB-CT01 was remarkably safe, as all cytokine release syndrome (CRS) events and the two reported immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome (ICANS) events were limited to Grade 1.

Based on these promising results, the Phase 1 trial has expanded from a single clinical trial site at City of Hope, a cancer research and treatment organization, to multiple additional medical centers across the United States. The publication also reports that the first patient treated in the expansion phase—who had triple-hit high-grade B-cell lymphoma following progression after CD19-directed CAR T-cell therapy—also achieved a complete response at the first disease assessment.

"Publishing these peer-reviewed data in The Lancet represents a significant recognition of this novel therapy," said Larry W. Kwak, M.D., Ph.D., scientific founder of PeproMene Bio. "With the lack of any relapses, we believe PMB-CT01 is a paradigm-shifting CAR T-cell option for blood cancers which were previously thought to be incurable. Its elite safety may also enable outpatient administration—improving access for underserved patients—while also opening doors for treating autoimmune diseases where B-cell depletion is already proven."

"These early results are encouraging, particularly for patients whose disease progressed after CD19 or CD20-directed T-cell therapy," said Stephen Forman, M.D., paper co-author and director of the Hematologic Malignancies Institute at City of Hope. "City of Hope will continue to support the trial as the coordinating center and manufacturing site in addition to patient enrollment."

In December 2024, the Institute for Follicular Lymphoma Innovation (IFLI) committed up to $11 million to support the clinical development of PMB-CT01 in patients with relapsed or refractory follicular lymphoma. "For patients whose lymphoma returns after CD19-directed CAR T-cell therapy, a new target can mean a new chance. IFLI is proud to support PeproMene Bio in advancing BAFF-R CAR T-cell therapy and encouraged by these early, durable responses," said Mehrdad Mobasher, M.D., M.P.H., Executive Partner at the Institute for Follicular Lymphoma Innovation.

A securities fraud class action lawsuit has been filed on behalf of Rackspace investors after its stock plummeted 33.6% because Rackspace allegedly misled investors about its AI efforts and their impact on the company's financial performance.

NEW YORK, Sept. 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Leading securities law firm Bleichmar Fonti & Auld LLP announces that a class action lawsuit has been filed against Rackspace Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ:RXT) and certain of the company's senior executives for securities fraud after its significant stock drop resulting from potential violations of the federal securities laws.

If you invested in Rackspace, you are encouraged to obtain additional information by visiting: https://www.bfalaw.com/cases/rackspace-class-action-lawsuit.

Key Details of the Rackspace ($RXT) Class Action:

- Lead Plaintiff Deadline: September 28, 2026

- Alleged Misconduct: Securities fraud alleging that Rackspace misled investors about its AI efforts and their impact on the company's financial performance

- Stock Drop: July 9, 2026 – 33.6% Stock Drop

- Court: U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York

- Action: Contact BFA Law to discuss your rights

Investors have until September 28, 2026 to ask the Court to be appointed to lead the case. The complaint asserts securities fraud claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 on behalf of investors in Rackspace securities. The class action is pending in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. It is captioned Morgan-Reed v. Rackspace Technology, Inc., No. 26-cv-6491.

Why is Rackspace Being Sued for Securities Fraud?

Rackspace is a hybrid cloud and AI solutions company that operates physical infrastructure to host cloud services and artificial intelligence. The company also provides Rackspace AI, a portfolio of AI services to help organizations scale AI adoption.

During the relevant period, the company announced it signed a memorandum of understanding with Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. ("AMD") to assist in building out its AI infrastructure and enhance its AI capabilities. That same day, the company reaffirmed its full year revenue guidance.

Rackspace told investors that the "AMD piece really fits into how" the company's technology stack operates. Rackspace also stated that the AMD partnership "give[s] [the Company] confidence in the full year Private Cloud growth profile."

As alleged, in truth, the company's AI efforts would require Rackspace to significantly re-prioritize its capacity and pull capacity away from revenue generating segments.

Why did Rackspace's Stock Drop?

On July 9, 2026, Rackspace revealed that its AI investments would require a significant re-prioritization of resources and a "transition away" from certain revenue generating segments. As a result, Rackspace revealed it was cutting its full year 2026 revenue guidance by $150 million and its full year Private Cloud revenue outlook by $25 million.

This news caused the price of Rackspace stock to decline $2.21 per share, or 33.6%, from a closing price of $6.58 per share on July 8, 2026, to $4.37 per share on July 9, 2026.
