PG&E and Edison International moved into the green ahead of California lawmakers’ vote on SB 492, a wildfire-liability bill that omits Gov. Newsom’s insurer-liability cap and lacks a long-term funding plan for the $21 billion wildfire fund, keeping investors cautious as Wall Street downgrades the utilities on liability risk.
Cerebras Systems raised its full-year core revenue guidance to $880–$890 million after reporting Q2 results of $180 million in total revenue ($210 million core, including pass-through), with a net loss of $450.5 million largely due to stock-compensation. The company projects Q3 core revenue of $214–$216 million and gross margins of 38–40%, citing strong demand for fast-inference AI chips. CEO Andrew Feldman said AI demand is 'through the roof' and highlighted a path to growth through scale, better pricing, and manufacturing efficiency. Cerebras also disclosed a partnership with AMD and OpenAI’s GPT-5.6 Sol, plus $126 million in cloud revenue for the quarter; the stock fell about 14% in extended trading after the results.
Intel disclosed a surprise plan to raise $15 billion through an underwritten public stock offering, sending INTC shares down about 4.6%. The net proceeds will go to general corporate purposes, heavy-capex, and working capital to support its turnaround and capitalize on surging AI compute demand. Management framed the move as prudent financing aligned with customer demand and strict return discipline, while analysts largely viewed it as a sensible option given the stock price despite near-term dilution. JPMorgan, Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, and Citigroup are leading the offering.
The FAA certified Boeing’s smallest MAX model, the 737 MAX 7, after years of delays and safety upgrades (updated flight-control software, alerting, and a redesigned engine anti-ice system). Airlines can begin passenger service once schedules are adjusted, though ramp-up may take months. Boeing has about 40 MAX-7/MAX-10 aircraft built, and the certification could improve cash flow and production as it also pursues the MAX 10 and 777X. Boeing’s stock rose about 5% on the news.
Nvidia topped revenue, earnings, and guidance in its fiscal Q1 (revenue $81.6B, up 85% YoY; gross margin 75%; free cash flow $48.6B) and announced an $80B buyback plus a 25‑fold dividend increase to $0.25/ share, yet the stock fell about 2% as investors priced in lofty expectations. Growth remains led by data-center demand (data-center revenue $75.2B; networking $14.8B), with Q2 guidance around $91B in revenue. While the AI infrastructure boom supports a continued uptrend, the post‑earnings dip could persist if optimism remains baked into Nvidia’s valuation—history shows these beats don’t always move shares higher in the near term.
Palantir reports Q1 2026 revenue up 85% to $1.633B with a 60% operating margin and a Rule of 40 score of 145%, prompting a raised outlook; however the stock fell about 6% after the results and is down around 22% year-to-date, as one investor argues the results are strong but not enough against lofty expectations, while Wall Street maintains a bullish consensus with a 12-month target near $187.56 (roughly 36% upside).
SoFi Technologies’ stock fell about 9% in premarket trading after reporting in-line Q1 earnings and reaffirming 2026 guidance with a GAAP EPS around $0.60. The results showed strong year-over-year growth across segments—financial services up 41%, Technology Platform up 27%, and lending up 55%—with double- to triple-digit originations, while management notes the deposit-funded model helps reduce risk even as investors weigh weakness in the Technology Platform.
Netflix topped Q1 expectations with $12.25 billion in revenue and $1.23 per share, but shares fell after hours as investors weighed Reed Hastings’s upcoming departure and a projected 1.5% drop in operating margins for Q2. The company kept full‑year margins around 32% and cited slightly higher‑than‑planned subscription revenue, noting it ended 2025 with over 325 million global subscribers (while no longer regularly disclosing subscriber totals). It also pointed to subscriber gains tied to the World Baseball Classic in Japan and March price increases, and mentioned it had bowed out of a Warner Bros. Discovery deal, as earnings season kicks off in tech/media.
Bloomberg and Reuters reported early-stage talks about a possible Brown-Forman–Pernod merger, sending Brown-Forman shares up about 18–20% while Pernod’s fell as investors weighed a potential deal that would unite two of the world’s largest distillers amid softer US demand.
Paramount's higher offer for Warner Bros. Discovery has been deemed superior by WBD, prompting Netflix to decline raising its own bid and leaving Netflix with four business days to submit a counterproposal. Paramount’s bid values WBD at $31 per share and includes a $7 billion regulatory termination fee; Netflix’s stock jumped on the news as investors weighed the potential implications for CNN and the broader deal dynamics.
Paramount Skydance boosted its bid for Warner Bros. to $31 a share, sparking a Netflix stock rally as investors bet Netflix might walk away or that Paramount’s higher offer could win; Warner Bros. Discovery’s board could deem Paramount’s bid superior, prompting Netflix to potentially match and risking a costly bidding war. The situation is clouded by regulatory risk, including a DOJ antitrust inquiry into Netflix, and analysts warn mega‑mergers often fail to deliver value.
IonQ beat Q4 revenue with $61.9 million and issued a 2026 revenue target of $235 million, triggering about a 7% after-hours stock jump; the quantum‑computing pure‑play remains unprofitable, with EBITDA loss of $67.4 million and a full-year net loss of $753 million, even as it accelerates acquisitions (including Oxford Ionics) and grows government contracts such as a Missile Defense Agency award; investors have weighed recent short-seller allegations, but analysts remain mixed and many see the stock at a strategic inflection point.
CoreWeave reported a strong quarter with a 50% revenue increase and a backlog exceeding $55 billion, driven by high AI demand and major deals with Meta and OpenAI. However, construction delays at a key data-center provider led to a trimmed 2025 outlook and a temporary stock decline, prompting CEO Michael Intrator to defend the results and downplay the impact of the setbacks.
Carnival reported strong Q3 earnings exceeding expectations due to resilient cruise demand and record-high bookings for 2026, yet its stock fell 2% after initially rising over 5%, possibly reflecting investor concerns about the cruise rally's sustainability despite positive outlooks and upgraded guidance.
Tempus AI's stock rebounded after a sharp decline caused by a critical short report from Spruce Point Capital, which questioned the company's AI capabilities and leadership. Tempus responded by dismissing the allegations as inaccurate and misleading, emphasizing its strong financial performance and growth in healthcare AI applications.
