Samsung Electronics posted a preliminary Q2 operating profit of 89.4 trillion won ($58.4B) on revenue of 171 trillion won, a fresh high from the prior period, with one-off bonus provisions tied to labor negotiations denting the results. The stock slid about 5% at the open.
Anthropic signed a 20-year lease to use a TeraWulf data center in Hawesville, Kentucky, with around 400 MW capacity and first power expected in the second half of 2027. The lease is projected to generate about $19 billion in revenue over its term and supported a premarket stock rally for TeraWulf, which has shifted from crypto mining to AI data-center infrastructure; the company also sold its 50% stake in a 168 MW Abernathy, Texas center to Fluidstack.
Facing sales declines and leadership changes, Dave & Buster’s is testing an adult-first strategy by hosting raves and launching a ticketed events platform called D&B Unlocked to drive traffic on slower weeknights. After a Hollywood/Highland test drew crowds and the concept rolled out to markets across the U.S., executives say these events could refresh the brand and boost visits, though attendance varies (Irvine’s Hello Kitty night underperformed) and the move risks clashing with the family-friendly image amid rising eatertainment competition.
FedEx posted solid fiscal Q4 2026 results, beating expectations with adjusted EPS of $6.31 and revenue of $25.01 billion in the last quarter that includes the freight business before the June 1 spin-off to FedEx Freight. The company flagged a $4.1 billion cash dividend related to the spin-off, reported a 3% rise in domestic volume (and 3% higher U.S. priority volume), and posted full-year revenue of $94.7 billion. Guidance calls for about 11% revenue growth and adjusted EPS of $16.90–$18.10 for the coming year, even as fuel costs climbed and the fiscal year-end moves to December 31; shares fell about 4% in after-hours trading.
Iowa State’s athletic department announces alcohol sales at Jack Trice Stadium this fall and Hilton Coliseum this winter as part of cost containment and revenue efforts. The plan requires 21+ age verification, limits two beverages per sale, restricts re-entry, and designates specific selling areas, with safety measures and enhanced staffing. Proceeds will support alcohol education, student wellness, and public safety, while most hospitality-area policies remain unchanged.
At Cannes Lions, OpenAI’s forecast that AI-powered ads could reach $102 billion by 2030 — about 36% of its projected total — is drawing scrutiny as Google and Meta loom in the background; OpenAI executives are set to discuss the projection onstage, but observers question whether the ad market can sustain such growth given the scale of current digital advertising.
OpenAI burned through $3.7B in Q1 2026, more than half of its $5.7B in revenue, with both cash burn and revenue tripling year over year; it ended the quarter with over $73B in cash and marketable securities following a March funding round, suggesting it may not need to raise more money soon and could delay an IPO.
Leaked audited filings show OpenAI’s revenue rising from $3.7B in 2024 to $13.07B in 2025, with nearly $2B per month by year‑end, but R&D costs jumped to $19.18B and operating losses to $20.92B in 2025. The headline net loss hit about $39B in 2025 largely due to a ~$30B nonrecurring accounting charge tied to its shift to for‑profit status; excluding that charge, the loss would be ~ $8B. To reach profitability by 2030, the company must rein in costs (notably model training) and contend with pricing pressure from rivals, even as it boasts ~900M weekly users and a $852B valuation after a $122B financing round.
Adobe said CFO Dan Durn is leaving and will be replaced by interim CFO Steve Day, three months after CEO Shantanu Narayen announced he would step down.

Wimbledon has announced a 20% increase in prize money to £64.2m for 2026, while players press to tie payouts to tournament revenue across all Slams—proposing 16% of revenue. Organizers caution that revenue alone isn’t a fair metric due to costs and investments, noting Wimbledon’s 90% surplus distribution to the LTA and long-term prize growth. The piece also references prize-money benchmarks at the US Open and French Open in discussions about revenue-linked pay.
Lululemon reported its first quarter of fiscal 2026 with net revenue of about $2.47B, up 4% year over year (2% in constant dollars), as international sales grew 22% while Americas declined 3%.
