$62 Million Student Housing Portfolio Sale in Los Angeles Brokered by Institutional Property Advisors

LOS ANGELES–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Institutional Property Advisors (IPA), a division of Marcus & Millichap (NYSE:MMI) dedicated to serving the company’s institutional clients, announced today the sale of Axiom Westwood, a four-building, 153-unit student housing portfolio adjacent to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) in the city’s Westwood neighborhood. The transaction is the largest property by unit count to sell in Westwood since 2020. The portfolio sold for $62.6 million.

“Built between 1962 and 1967, the previous ownership invested significant capital from 2015 onward to transform Axiom Westwood into a turnkey asset,” said Kevin Green, IPA executive managing director investments. “The buyer has the opportunity to focus on high return-on-investment strategic enhancements and operational improvements that can capture unrealized income.”

Green, Joseph Grabiec, and Gregory Harris of IPA represented the seller, Raintree Partners, and procured the buyer, a private multifamily investor. “Westwood continues to be one of the most supply-constrained markets in Los Angeles,” said Grabiec. “Despite UCLA’s plans to increase overall enrollment over 6% by 2030, there are only 545 new beds scheduled to be delivered in the next three years.”

Located at 415 Gayley Ave., 411 Kelton Ave., 555 Kelton Ave., and 555 Levering Ave., the buildings are within walking distance of popular Westwood Village destinations such as Target, Whole Foods, and In-N-Out.

Future Long Range Assault Aircraft Officially Named MV-75 Cheyenne II

Future Long Range Assault Aircraft Officially Named MV-75 Cheyenne II

NASHVILLE, Tenn.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
Bell Textron Inc., a Textron Inc. (NYSE: TXT) company, announced today that the U.S. Army officially designated the MV-75 as the Cheyenne II. Consistent with the U.S. Army tradition of honoring Native American tribes, the MV-75 honors the heritage of the Cheyenne Tribes, two federally recognized nations: the Northern Cheyenne Tribe in Montana and the Cheyenne & Arapaho Tribes in Oklahoma.

This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20260415150960/en/

In 2025, the Army revealed the Mission Design Series (MDS) MV-75. The “MV” signals that it is a multi-mission vertical takeoff aircraft and the “75” commemorates the U.S. Army’s founding year, 1775. While the MDS honors the Army’s origin, the common name, Cheyenne II, honors the Cheyenne Tribes and their enduring legacy.

“In naming the MV-75 Cheyenne II, we honor the enduring contributions of the Cheyenne people to our Nation – both their distinguished service in uniform and their legacy as steadfast protectors of their way of life,” said COL Jeffrey Poquette, Project Manager, FLRAA. “The name also reflects a connection to the bold vision of the AH-56 Cheyenne, while ‘II’ signifies a new era of innovation and capability. It is a name that pays tribute to an indomitable warrior spirit and signals a decisive step forward for Army aviation.”

Throughout their history, the Cheyenne demonstrated remarkable adaptability, resilience, and determination in the face of shifting environments and external pressures. As the Cheyenne relocated multiple times due to threats from rival nations and westward expansion, they developed new skills, reorganized their communities, and remained agile in rapidly changing conditions.

The MV-75 Cheyenne II reflects these same qualities. With its speed, range, lethality, and multi-mission adaptability, the Cheyenne II provides commanders with rapid options to mass combat power while reducing exposure in contested environments. Its Modular Open Systems Approach (MOSA) ensures the platform can evolve with the demands of the modern battlefield.

The Cheyenne developed a strong warrior ethos defined by courage, discipline, and an unwavering commitment to protecting their people. Their warriors were celebrated for strength, endurance, and steadfastness in harsh conditions. The MV-75 Cheyenne II brings increased lethality to the Army, enabling commanders to have more options against adversaries to overwhelm them in battle. Its endurance enables the Army to operate at vast distances outside of the densest threat rings. A capability unavailable to them with current rotorcraft.

With its new name, the MV-75 represents two distinct groups of warriors – the U.S. Army and the Cheyenne tribes. Both share a heritage of skill, confidence, and commitment to the mission. The MV-75 Cheyenne II embodies these values as it becomes the centerpiece of the Army’s long-range air assault mission.

Bell is proud that the MV-75 carries the name of the Cheyenne Tribes as we revolutionize Army Aviation. The Cheyenne heritage represents everything that the MV-75 will bring to the future fight,” said Ryan Ehinger, senior vice president & program director, FLRAA, Bell. “This is a significant milestone that comes right as we are accelerating assembly and production to deliver the MV-75 capability to warfighters faster.”

Bell and the Army remain on schedule as the team advances toward the delivery of the first test aircraft. Assigning an official name demonstrates the shared commitment to fieldling this critical next generation capability.

The MV-75 Cheyenne II is a transformational capability for the U.S. Army. With today’s naming announcement, Bell and the Army are one step closer to introducing the next generation of Army Aviation to the battlefield.

Cadence and NVIDIA Expand Partnership to Reinvent Engineering for the Age of AI and Accelerated Computing

Cadence and NVIDIA Expand Partnership to Reinvent Engineering for the Age of AI and Accelerated Computing

Expanded collaboration combines agentic AI, physics-based simulation, and digital twins to accelerate engineering and unlock new levels of productivity across semiconductors, physical AI systems and AI factories

SAN JOSE, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
At CadenceLIVE Silicon Valley 2026, Cadence (Nasdaq: CDNS) announced an expanded partnership with NVIDIA to deliver accelerated solutions across agentic AI, physics-based simulation and digital twins to unlock new levels of productivity and accelerate next‑generation engineering design flows across semiconductor design, physical AI systems and hyperscale AI factories.

By combining Cadence’s leadership in agentic AI-driven design, electronic design automation (EDA) and system design and analysis (SDA) with NVIDIA CUDA-X, AI physics and Omniverse libraries for industrial digital twin solutions, the two companies are redefining engineering productivity across three critical design domains—accelerating innovation at true agent speed.

“Agentic AI and digital twins are reshaping the entire engineering landscape—from semiconductor design to planetary‑scale AI systems,” said Anirudh Devgan, president and chief executive officer, Cadence. “Our expanded collaboration with NVIDIA accelerates the convergence of design and physical realization, connecting the Cadence AgentStack, Physical AI Stack, and AI factory digital twins with NVIDIA’s breakthroughs in accelerated computing to deliver unprecedented speed, accuracy and trust in simulation and system development.

“We are at an inflection point in computing—CUDA-accelerated computing and AI are reinventing the engineering process,” said Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of NVIDIA. “For the first time, we can innovate in the digital world—exploring, testing, and optimizing ideas at unprecedented speed and scale—by building everything as full-fidelity digital twins first. Together, NVIDIA and Cadence are bringing this vision to life—transforming how engineers design, build and operate the world.”

Accelerating Cadence Tools for EDA and SDA

Cadence and NVIDIA are accelerating Cadence EDA and SDA solutions with NVIDIA CUDA-X, AI-physics, Omniverse libraries and the Cadence® Millennium M2000 Supercomputer, powered by NVIDIA AI infrastructure. As part of this expanded collaboration, Cadence will accelerate its wide range of principled solvers and leverage AI physics models to deliver engineering workflows up to 100X speedup.

Cadence EDA and SDA customers and partners, including Ascendence, Argonne National Laboratory, Honda R&D, Samsung and SK Hynix are already leveraging Cadence solutions accelerated by NVIDIA to bring accelerated products to market faster.

AgentStack: Agentic AI for Next-Generation Chip Design

Cadence recently introduced its ChipStack AI Super Agent, which applies agentic AI combined with principled EDA tools to transform semiconductor RTL design and verification. Early deployments at more than 10 leading customers have already demonstrated up to a 10X productivity boost in their design and verification tasks.

Building on this foundation, Cadence today unveiled AgentStack, a head agent designed to orchestrate all aspects of semiconductor and system design. AgentStack extends the ChipStack AI Super Agent’s Mental Model and super-agent architecture beyond RTL and verification into physical design, custom/analog design and migration, to system-level design workflows. AgentStack connects Cadence agents with Cadence EDA platforms that leverage NVIDIA Nemotron and run on NVIDIA accelerated computing for orchestrating long‑running, multi‑agent workflows.

As an early partner, NVIDIA is adopting the AgentStack flow in its semiconductor and system design flows and providing real-world feedback that will help Cadence harden and scale AgentStack for broader industry deployment. This evolution will mark a significant shift from traditional script‑ and GUI‑driven flows to agent‑driven flows that are capable of reasoning over design hierarchies, relationships and protocols, dramatically compressing iteration cycles from days to hours.

Embedded Agentic AI for Physical AI

Beyond semiconductor design, Cadence and NVIDIA are extending their collaboration to embedded agentic AI for physical AI, combining the Cadence Physical AI Stack with NVIDIA robotics simulation libraries and accelerated computing to help close the critical “sim‑to‑real” gap for robots and autonomous machines. By integrating and accelerating Cadence’s high‑fidelity multiphysics simulation and AI workflows with NVIDIA Isaac open-source simulation libraries and Cosmos open-world models, customers gain an end‑to‑end, agent‑orchestrated workflow that links world‑model training, accurate physics, large‑scale scenario testing and continuous real‑world feedback.

At a high level, the joint stack coordinates AI agents across the full lifecycle—from training orchestration, physics surrogate training and policy optimization, to validation and deployment feedback. This workflow spans virtual training in NVIDIA Isaac Sim and Isaac Lab, evaluation through detailed Cadence physics models and mission‑scale scenario simulation in VTD (Virtual Test Drive) and VTDx—its extended high‑fidelity simulation environment for complex, real‑world scenarios.

The results are then deployed on NVIDIA Jetson robotics and edge AI systems, where a live virtual twin enables continuous monitoring and refinement. By embedding accurate physics throughout training, validation and inference, the Cadence–NVIDIA flow is designed to greatly accelerate experimentation while improving safety and confidence when physical AI systems are deployed in the real world.

AI Factory Digital Twins to Achieve Lowest Cost per Token

The collaboration also extends to AI factories, where Cadence integrates the NVIDIA Omniverse DSX Blueprint to enable next-generation AI factory digital twins that will help customers design, simulate and optimize large‑scale Vera Rubin and Grace Blackwell AI factories for training and inference. These AI factory digital twins focus on a critical new metric for hyperscale AI: tokens per watt, or the number of model tokens processed per each unit of power consumed.

Using Cadence system analysis and data center simulation tools in combination with NVIDIA DSX libraries and the Omniverse DSX blueprint, customers can explore tradeoffs in GPU power settings, system configurations and cooling architectures before deploying physical systems. In a joint 10-megawatt (MW) AI factory use case, modeling GPU operation at a reduced power (MaxQ) demonstrated up to 17% more tokens per watt and billions of dollars of incremental annual revenue per gigawatt for large‑scale deployments, increasing net annual revenue and underscoring the value of simulation‑driven design for AI factories.

Digital twins of NVIDIA DSX-based AI factories have also demonstrated that combining MaxQ operation with warmer coolant could yield roughly 32% more tokens per watt. By capturing the interactions between IT load, cooling systems, airflow and control logic in a high‑fidelity digital twin, operators can safely push their AI factories toward maximum tokens per watt while respecting power and thermal constraints.

CadenceLIVE Showcase

Cadence will highlight Cadence accelerated solutions, AgentStack, the Physical AI Stack and the AI factory digital twin solutions, along with the expanded collaboration with NVIDIA, at CadenceLIVE 2026, where customers will see how the two companies are helping engineering teams move from early concepts and training to deployment more quickly and confidently.

(“B&W” or the “Company”) (NYSE: BW) securities between November 5, 2025 and March 11, 2026, inclusive (the “Class Period”).

The Complaint alleges that Defendants failed to disclose to investors that: (i) B&W’s largest shareholder, BRC, stood on both sides of the Power Generation Contract and had close ties to B&W’s counterparty; (ii) Applied Digital did not need the products and services that B&W would purportedly supply pursuant to the Power Generation LNTP and Contract; (iii) the foregoing, at the very least, would raise questions about the parties’ actual intent behind entering into the Power Generation LNTP and Contract, including whether the Company is likely to recognize revenues from these agreements; (iv) accordingly, the business and financial prospects of the Company were overstated; and (v) as a result, Defendants’ public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.

The Complaint alleges that the truth began to emerge on March 12, 2026, when Wolfpack Research (“Wolfpack”) published a short report alleging that B&W had failed to disclose the close relationship between its largest shareholder, BRC, and Base Electron, B&W’s counterparty to the Power Generation Contract: Base Electron’s directors included BRC Co-CEO and Chairman Riley, and Base Electron’s registered address matched that of BRC’s headquarters, not Applied Digital’s. The Complaint further states that moreover, Wolfpack alleged that Applied Digital did not need the products and services that B&W would purportedly provide pursuant to the Power Generation Contract, and that “the ultimate purpose of this deal may be to provide exit liquidity for [BRC]”. The Complaint continues to allege that taken together, the Wolfpack report’s contentions called into question whether B&W was likely to recognize revenues from the Power Generation Contract. The Complaint alleges that following publication of the Wolfpack report, B&W’s stock price fell $1.71 per share, or 11.59%, to close at $13.05 per share on March 12, 2026.

Investors who purchased or otherwise acquired shares of B&W should contact the Firm prior to the June 15, 2026 lead plaintiff motion deadline. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation.
