Aterian Moves Lower Pre-Market With $18 Million Ballot Ahead

Aterian shares fell 2.5% to $1.15 in premarket trading Thursday after a May 15 filing showed a wider first-quarter loss and raised “substantial doubt” about its ability to continue. The company is seeking stockholder approval to sell major brands for $18 million and issue $7 million in preferred stock, moves that could give investor David E. Lazar control of over 95% of the company.

  • Australian Cruise Market Hits Record High Despite Local Industry Challenges
    May 29, 2026, 8:25 PM EDT. In 2025, a record 1.45 million Australians took cruises, marking a 9.5% rise and placing Australia as the world's fourth-largest cruise market behind the US, Germany, and the UK, according to the Cruise Lines International Association (CLIA). While 80% of cruises occurred in Australia, New Zealand, and the South Pacific, more Australians are seeking international destinations like the Mediterranean and Asia. The average cruiser age dropped to 47.3, with over a third under 40, reflecting a trend of younger travelers and shorter cruises averaging seven and a half days. However, local cruising faces challenges due to regulatory uncertainties and higher operational costs, leading to fewer ships visiting Australian ports and prompting more Aussies to cruise abroad.
