CoreWeave rides AI momentum to beat earnings as backlog surges and guidance rises

CoreWeave reported Q2 revenue of $2.58 billion and an adjusted net loss of $567 million, beating expectations and leaving a backlog of $104 billion, as AI infrastructure demand remains strong. The stock jumped about 14% after hours, with management calling the quarter an important inflection point driven by capacity expansion and operating leverage. The company highlighted notable customer wins (including Isomorphic Labs) and Nvidia collaboration, flagged a sharply higher capex run rate (about $9.4 billion this quarter), and raised full-year guidance to $12.4–$13.2 billion and Q3 guidance to $3.45–$3.6 billion, with margins expected to climb into the low teens by Q4.

Netflix tightens its viewership data disclosures as investors grow wary

Netflix's stock fell after a mixed Q2 as it narrowed its full-year revenue forecast, gave a Q3 forecast below expectations, and said it will publish its What We Watched viewership data annually instead of biannually to focus on revenue and profit; the company plans about 10% more content spending, is exploring live channels and bundles, and says AI is aiding production but not replacing human creators. With competition from YouTube and price sensitivity, Netflix is present in under 45% of addressable households, leaving room to grow, though the stock is down about 21% for the year.

Indictment ties Nvidia chips to a $2.5B China smuggling scheme via Super Micro

Indictment ties Nvidia chips to a $2.5B China smuggling scheme via Super Micro

A federal indictment accuses three men tied to Super Micro of helping smuggle Nvidia GPUs into China in a roughly $2.5 billion scheme, using shell companies and counterfeit packaging to hide shipments of restricted chips and servers. The case, which pressured Super Micro’s stock and underscores ongoing export-control enforcement, challenges Jensen Huang’s claim of no evidence of diversion and highlights gaps in how the industry polices the movement of advanced chips to China.

Trump’s $20B reinsurance plan for Hormuz tankers faces questions of sufficiency

Trump’s $20B reinsurance plan for Hormuz tankers faces questions of sufficiency

Trump unveiled up to $20 billion in U.S. Development Finance Corporation-backed reinsurance to help oil tankers navigate the Strait of Hormuz amid Iran-related conflict, covering hull, machinery and cargo for qualifying vessels. Analysts doubt the size and scope will be enough to unlock passage or calm markets, noting only a subset of ships would be insured, current traffic through Hormuz is about eight ships per day (roughly 94% below normal), and JP Morgan warns storage-tightening disruptions could force multi‑million-barrel-per-day production cuts as global oil flow remains vulnerable. Investors remain skeptical until clearer eligibility rules are announced and broader drone/war risks are mitigated.

Hidden material suppliers poised to ride the AI chip surge

Investors seeking exposure to the AI chip boom beyond the marquee names can consider materials suppliers like Entegris and Qnity Electronics, which provide essential manufacturing inputs (CMP pads, slurry, TIMs, laminates) for chip production. As analog-chip recovery coincides with AI-driven demand for memory and processing, these companies’ materials and packaging offerings stand to benefit, supported by industry commentary on co-development with leading foundries and a growing memory supercycle—though the sector remains cyclical and faces longer‑term competitive and geopolitical risks.

Apple signals resilient margins as memory costs loom

Apple signals resilient margins as memory costs loom

Apple forecast gross margins of 48%–49% for the March quarter, above December’s 48.2% and the 47.3% consensus, aided by a favorable mix of high‑margin hardware and Services growth (a record $30 billion in the December quarter). Memory pricing is rising and could pinch margins, but Cook said Apple will look at a range of options to mitigate it. Strong iPhone momentum and the Services pull helped support margins, and the stock rose about 1% in after-hours trading.

ASML bookings soar as SK Hynix plans bold capex push

ASML reported fourth-quarter bookings of €13.16 billion, up 86% and well above estimates, as AI-related demand boosted both memory and logic‑chip equipment. The Netherlands‑based company posted €2.89 billion profit on €9.72 billion in sales, guided 2026 sales to €34‑39 billion with a 51‑53% gross margin, and unveiled a buyback of up to €12 billion through 2028 plus a 17% dividend increase to €7.50 a share. In the same period SK Hynix signaled a substantial increase in capital expenditure after a 90% rise in Q4 profit and a 66% jump in revenue, driven by AI workloads and memory demand; both companies reflect a robust AI‑driven semiconductor cycle.

BitGo Opens 2026 with a Hot IPO Amid Crypto Market Slump

BitGo Holdings opened its NYSE debut about 25% higher after pricing 11.8 million shares at $18, valuing the company around $2.08 billion; the IPO raised roughly $198.5 million with Goldman Sachs and Citigroup leading the deal. BitGo, which provides wallets, validation, trading and custody for digital assets, arrived as the crypto market showed weakness (bitcoin trading below $90,000), signaling robust investor appetite for crypto infrastructure despite broader uncertainty. BitGo also stated it has regulatory approval to convert BitGo Trust Co. to a federally chartered bank for digital assets, underscoring regulatory clarity as Kraken and others eye IPOs.

United rides loyalty to another earnings beat and optimistic 2026 outlook

United Airlines beat expectations for the 14th straight quarter as premium-fare revenue rose 9% and loyalty revenue climbed 10% in Q4, helping the company lift its 2026 guidance to the high end of forecasts. Management cited loyalty as a key driver of momentum, even as about $250 million in Q4 charges related to the government shutdown weighed on results. The strength in corporate travel and the loyalty strategy supported a positive earnings trajectory, and United’s shares rose in after-hours trading.

Defense Dept backs L3Harris with $1B for pre-IPO missile-motors unit

The Defense Department invested $1 billion in L3Harris via convertible preferred securities that will convert into common stock in an IPO planned for the second half of 2026, creating a majority-owned missile-solutions unit with the government as an anchor investor but no board seats. The move aims to expand U.S. missile capacity, and L3Harris stock rose toward record closes amid a broader defense-focused rally, though congressional approval could be required for the government stake.
