Hut 8 Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HUT#NASDAQ">HUT</a>) saw its stock edge higher during premarket trading on Wednesday after announcing a key <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/07/g46215627/hut-8-secures-five-year-capacity-contracts-with-ieso-for-310-mw-of-power-generation-assets" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">infrastructure win in Ontario</a>.
The company revealed that its joint venture, Far North Power Corp., formed alongside Macquarie Equipment Finance Ltd., a subsidiary of Macquarie Group, has secured new five-year capacity agreements for all four of its Ontario-based natural gas power plants.
These long-term deals come via the Ontario Independent Electricity System Operator (IESO), following a successful showing in the Medium-Term 2 (MT2) capacity auction.

According to&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://pro.benzinga.com/?gspk=YWRhbWVja2VydDUzMzY&amp;gsxid=zBMR4PKmcgBw" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga Pro</a>, HUT stock has gained over 18% in the past year. Investors can gain exposure to the stock via&nbsp;Schwab Strategic Trust Schwab Crypto Thematic ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/STCE#NYSE">STCE</a>).
The awarded contracts cover power plants located in Iroquois Falls, Kingston, Kapuskasing, and North Bay, with a total combined capacity of 310 megawatts.
Set to begin in May 2026, these agreements are designed to provide fixed daily capacity payments, averaging CAD $530 per megawatt for the first year.
The contracts also allow for adjustments tied to inflation, potentially increasing payments over time.
By locking in these capacity commitments, Hut 8 and Macquarie aim to transition the power assets from short-term seasonal revenue models to more predictable long-term earnings.
The contracts ensure consistent cash flow and reduce exposure to volatility in the energy market.
"Securing these contracts is a testament to the commercial and regulatory fluency of our power-native team," said Asher Genoot, CEO of Hut 8.
Joshua Stevens, Managing Director at Macquarie, emphasized the strategic relevance of these plants in Ontario's increasingly constrained electricity grid, calling the contracts a vote of confidence in Far North's long-term value.
Ontario is projected to see a sharp rise in electricity demand, with IESO forecasting a 75% increase by 2050 and a 5.8 GW shortfall by 2030. These forecasts suggest ongoing reliance on dispatchable assets like Far North's gas-fired plants, adding further upside potential through energy sales.
Price Action: HUT shares are trading higher by 4.44% to $19.30&nbsp;premarket at last check Tuesday.

Enovix Corporation Announces $60M Share Repurchase Program

With the recent buzz around Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>), some investors may be eyeing potential gains from <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/dividend">the company's dividends</a>. 
Currently, the tech company offers an annual dividend yield of 0.67%. That&#8217;s a quarterly dividend amount of 83 cents per share ($3.32 a year).  
So, how can investors capitalize on the dividend yield to earn a regular $500 monthly?
To earn $500 per month or $6,000 annually from dividends alone, you would need an investment of approximately $889,134 or around 1,807 shares. For a more modest $100 per month or $1,200 per year, you would need $177,630 or around 361 shares.
To calculate: Divide the desired annual income ($6,000 or $1,200) by the dividend ($3.32 in this case). So, $6,000 / $3.32 = 1,807 ($500 per month), and $1,200 / $3.32 = 361 shares ($100 per month).
Note that dividend yield can change on a rolling basis, as the dividend payment and the stock price both fluctuate over time.
How that works: The dividend yield is computed by dividing the annual dividend payment by the stock&#8217;s current price.
For example, if a stock pays an annual dividend of $2 and is currently priced at $50, the dividend yield would be 4% ($2/$50). However, if the stock price increases to $60, the dividend yield drops to 3.33% ($2/$60). Conversely, if the stock price falls to $40, the dividend yield rises to 5% ($2/$40).
Similarly, changes in the dividend payment can impact the yield. If a company increases its dividend, the yield will also increase, provided the stock price stays the same. Conversely, if the dividend payment decreases, so will the yield.
Price Action: Shares of Microsoft fell 1.1% to close <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46204491/microsofts-ai-and-cloud-scale-drives-market-beating-returns">at $492.05 on Tuesday</a>.
Microsoft&#8217;s stock has surged over 31% in the last three months. It outpaces both the S&amp;P 500 Index's approximately 11% gain and the NASDAQ Composite Index's roughly 16% gain.
Observers attribute this momentum to Microsoft's commanding presence in cloud computing, particularly through its Azure platform, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/artificial-intelligence">and artificial intelligence (AI)</a>.

The transaction amount was $12.5 million in cash, funded through the company&#8217;s credit facility. This resulted in a non-dilutive transaction for shareholders.
Edward Kovalik, Chairman and CEO, said this strategic and highly accretive bolt-on acquisition enhances its footprint in the DJ Basin.

The Edge Energy acquisition represents a strategic addition of approximately 11,000 net acres, expanding Prairie&#8217;s DJ Basin footprint to approximately 60,000 net acres.
The attractive mix of current production and future development of the Edge Energy assets enhances Prairie&#8217;s inventory depth, accelerates near-term development plans, and supports continued cash flow growth, the company said.
The company plans to commence development of the acquired assets in August 2025, starting with the fully permitted Simpson pad. Simultaneously, the company will permit additional PUD locations to enable future development. This acquisition delivers immediate scale, existing production, and a clear path to growth through high-quality operated drilling inventory.
Prairie Operating held $14.97 million in cash and equivalents as of March 31, 2025, according to&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="http://pro.benzinga.com/" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga Pro</a>.

EXCLUSIVE: Prairie Expands DJ Basin Footprint With $12.5 Million Edge Energy Deal

Things are finally looking up for Hollywood, but the crisis isn't over yet, industry watchers tell <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2025/06/22/business/box-office-rebound-2025">CNN</a>.
Box office returns have been down since the pandemic, with factors like theater closures, writers' strikes, ill-received blockbusters, and the rise of streaming releases impacting revenues.&nbsp;
The start of the year didn't do much to inspire faith in studio executives, either. Things got off to a slow start with box office sales between Jan. 1 and April 3 down 13% compared with the same period last year, and 7.6% from 2023. Projected hits like Disney's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DIS#NYSE">DIS</a>) "Captain America: Brave New World" and "Snow White"&nbsp; didn't attract audiences the way they'd been expected to.

Things finally began looking up in April, with movies like "A Minecraft Movie," "Sinners," and "Lilo &amp; Stitch" carrying the load. These movies contributed to a record Memorial Day weekend, which saw the box office up 22% compared to 2024, according to CNN.
That momentum is expected to carry into the summer, with high-potential releases like "How To Train Your Dragon," which grossed $135 million in its first few days in theaters. Warner Bros. Pictures&#8217; "F1 and "Superman," Universal Pictures' "Jurassic World Rebirth," and Disney's "The Fantastic Four: First Steps" are also expected to fare well with viewers.
At the start of the year, <a href="https://gower.st/articles/forecast-2025-gower-street-announces-33-billion-early-global-box-office-estimate/">Gower Street Analytics</a> projected that the domestic box office would reach $9.7 billion this year, a post-pandemic high.

Entertainment research firm Enact Insights founder Greg Durkin told CNN he attributes this comeback to a rise in high-quality films.&nbsp;
Daniel Loria, the editorial director at Boxoffice Pro, agrees. "We're not selling Frosted Flakes or Coca-Cola … This is a product that reinvents itself every week," he told CNN. Loria added that while this year's releases have "fortunately" been connecting with audiences, it's still "a risky business."
"The lineup goes on hot and cold streaks. Something can look good on paper but not work in release, and vice versa," FranchiseRe box office analyst David A. Gross told CNN. "The ‘recovery' compared with last year is slipping, so it's not time to pop the champagne just yet,"
