LegalZoom Drops Ahead of Shareholder Meeting as AI Fight Hangs Over Stock

LegalZoom.com traded lower in premarket Wednesday, with the stock near $6.53 as investors prepared for the company’s annual meeting. Shares have had trouble translating stronger sales into better numbers on the bottom line. The latest price was off 14.5 cents from Tuesday’s close, giving LegalZoom a market cap near $1.16 billion. The timing sets the scene. U.S. markets are open as usual, and Nasdaq’s 2026 holiday list shows the next full day off is Juneteenth, June 19. LegalZoom’s shareholder meeting is scheduled for later in the day, not on a weekend or holiday.

KeyBank taps ex-CrossFirst exec Ward Nixon for new family office team in

KeyBank has brought on a five-person family office and private capital team headed by Ward Nixon, setting up shop in Overland Park, Kansas. The move aims to strengthen connections with mid-sized U.S. businesses and their owners. Family offices—private firms handling wealth for affluent families—are stepping up as owners and lenders in the middle market, which covers companies smaller than big corporations but bigger than small businesses. Private equity operates within this space too, frequently directing financing and deal activity.

McDonald’s Q4 2025 earnings beat as value meals pull customers back and same-store sales jump

McDonald's reported a 5.7% increase in global comparable sales for the fourth quarter, driven by value meal deals and strong marketing. Revenue jumped 10% to $7.01 billion, with adjusted earnings hitting $3.12 per share. The company also raised its quarterly dividend by 5%, to $1.86. For 2025, systemwide sales — covering both franchised and company-operated outlets — rose 7% to over $139 billion. Sales to loyalty members surged 20%, reaching nearly $37 billion, McDonald's added. This matters because major chains are stepping up efforts to attract cautious shoppers, particularly in the budget segment. Investors worry that another wave of discounting might boost sales but squeeze margins—or trigger more conflicts with franchisees.
