(00:13) Robinhood ( HOOD ) enters premium credit card battle with new invite-only platinum card. (01:18) Trade court orders Trump administration to start refunding IEEPA tariffs. (02:00) This is an abridged transcript. The Trade Desk ( TTD ) is up 15% in premarket action. This comes after The Information reported on Wednesday that OpenAI ( OPENAI ) has held early talks to partner with The Trade Desk ( TTD ) to help it sell advertising. OpenAI is also reportedly in talks with other brands, media agencies, and ad tech firms as part of the early ads pilot. The company recently said that it was beginning to test ads in ChatGPT in the U.S. The test will be for logged-in adult users on the Free and Go subscription tiers. According to a separate report, the artificial intelligence startup topped $25 billion in annualized revenue as of the end of last month. This is a 17% increase from the $21.4 billion in annualized revenue that the company generated at the end of the year, the report said . OpenAI confirmed last Friday that it has raised an astonishing $110B in its latest funding round, with $50B coming from Amazon ( AMZN ) and $30B apiece from Nvidia ( NVDA ) and SoftBank ( SFTBY ). Robinhood ( HOOD ) has a new Platinum credit card targeting high-income/wealthy customers. The card is invite-only, carries a $695 annual fee , similar to other luxury cards, and is positioned to compete with top-end cards like those from American Express ( AXP ) and JPMorgan Chase ( JPM ). Robinhood claims that its benefits are worth over $3,000 annually in value, which comes in the form of complimentary memberships, lifestyle credits, and a "courtesy" Robinhood Gold membership. "We want to go after the legacy players' customers," said Deepak Rao, vice president and general manager of Robinhood Money, a...

When Lip-Bu Tan came to Intel last year, he considered stopping the promotion of the company's 18A (1.8nm-class) fabrication technology among potential external customers and making it yet another internal-only node, as he did not believe the manufacturing process made a lot of sense for external clients. Less than a year later, he seems to have changed his mind about the prospects of the fabrication process to a large degree because some external customers expressed interest in 18A-P, a performance-enhanced version of 18A. Yet, Intel admits that 18A continues to suffer from process variability. "While Lip-Bu was, I think, thinking that we probably should focus on 14A as a foundry node and make 18A really just an internal node, now that we have seen some real progress there, I think he is now starting to recognize that this is actually a good node to offer to external customers as well," said David Zinsner, chief financial officer of Intel, Morgan Stanley Technology, Media & Telecom Conference 2026. "We have been getting some kind of inbound interest in 18A-P as a foundry node. So, I think that is pretty positive." When Lip-Bu Tan joined Intel in early 2025, both the functional and parametric yields of chips made using 18A were low and unpredictable. As a result, Tan reportedly considered shifting the company's foundry efforts to 14A (1.4nm-class) instead in a bid to focus on large clients who make strategic decisions about production nodes many years in advance and had opted to not use 18A at the time. Intel made some progress on 18A yields in late 2025, in time to start low-volume production of the company's Core Ultra 300-series 'Panther Lake' CPU tiles at a development facility in Oregon while beginning to ramp high-volume manufacturing at its Fab 32 in Arizona. Intel admitted that 18A yields were only set to reach industry standard levels in 2027, but insisted that it was on the right trajectory. While it may indeed be on the right trajectory, Intel still suffe...

Tata Consultancy Services Ltd. , which just cut an agreement with OpenAI to build data centers for artificial intelligence in India, is nearing additional deals with other tech giants, signaling a commitment to reshaping its business model to capitalize on the emerging technology. “We are having discussions with multiple other hyperscalers,” said Chief Executive Officer K Krithivasan during an interview at the company’s offices in London. “We are in advanced discussion with multiple players.” His company is racing to build out the country’s AI infrastructure because of what he sees as an enormous opportunity to deploy the technology in the world’s most populous nation. India is likely to need about 10 gigawatts of AI data center capacity by 2030, he said, while only about 5 or 6 gigawatts have been announced so far. TCS wants to help close that gap. “We are very, very bullish,” said the 61-year-old. “There is going to be lot of latent demand or unmet demand by 2030 so there is going to be a lot of investment required.” TCS, which pioneered the strategy of providing tech expertise to Western banks, airlines and other corporations, has been under pressure in recent years from rising competition, US visa policies and the prospect of AI disruption. Once a stock market darling in India, the company’s shares have declined about 20% this year and roughly 23% since Krithivasan took over in June of 2023. “TCS needs to set a narrative on what it is that they are doing in AI,” said Arun Kejriwal , founder of Kejriwal Research and Investment Services Pvt. “People still don’t know what to expect of an IT services company as far as AI is concerned.” Corporate clients are shifting their IT spending away from the services traditionally offered by TCS and its peers, said Anurag Rana, analyst for Bloomberg Intelligence. “Clients are cutting budgets because they’re investing in AI,” Rana said. “If the clients are not spending, he, anybody else, cannot do anything.” Krithivasan is not ...

Hong Kong customs officers have discovered HK$230 million (US$29.4 million) worth of gold and silver hidden in two air cargo shipments of household cleaning machines destined for Japan, making the largest seizure of precious metals on record. Senior Investigator Ho Ting-chun of the Customs and Excise Department’s syndicate crimes investigation bureau said on Thursday officers intercepted 168kg (370lbs) of suspected gold foil and 285kg of suspected silver foil worth HK$230 million in an operation on Monday. “Precious metal prices have soared in recent years,” Ho said. “Customs has been monitoring the smuggling situation and noticed an upward trend since last year and has mounted various operations.” Advertisement Gold prices have risen sharply in recent years amid growing geopolitical tensions and increasing policy uncertainty from the United States. As of Thursday, an ounce of gold cost US$5,179.27 and an ounce of silver was priced at US$433.38. After receiving intelligence and making a risk assessment, officers at the airport intercepted two batches of ultrasonic cleaners and ultraviolet sterilisation machines on Monday morning. Advertisement When conducting an X-ray, officers noticed unusually dense spots in the two batches of cargo totalling 138 boxes, Inspector Chan Wing-yin of the Airport Command said.

The Matildas are two wins from two in their home Asian Cup after a straightforward 4-0 defeat of Iran in their second group-stage game on a humid, rainy night on the Gold Coast. Manchester City’s Mary Fowler made her first start since tearing her ACL almost a year ago, poking the ball into the net in the 26th minute after a deep Caitlin Foord cross was spilled by Iran goalkeeper Maryam Yektaei. Midfielder Amy Sayer, also in her first tournament start, opened the scoring in the 8th minute after a curling cross spiralled over Yektaei’s outstretched arms. Having flagged some rotations in his pre-match media conference, Joe Montemurro made five changes to the side that struggled to break down the Philippines in Perth on Monday, including starting the two goal-scorers and handing a tournament debut to centre-back Charlize Rule. Chloe Lincoln, the surprise call-up in Australia’s first match after a wave of goalkeeper injuries, made her second straight start, while Courtney Nevin replaced vice-captain Steph Catley at left-back. Alanna Kennedy, who started in midfield in place of Clare Wheeler, added a third goal in the 34th minute after a deep cross from the free-floating Fowler was brought down and cut back by captain Sam Kerr, allowing the London City player to fire low and hard into the bottom corner. Unlike the last time these two nations met, in an Olympic qualifier in late 2023 where the Matildas scraped a 2-0 win against a defensively resolute Iran, the visitors lacked structure and energy, particularly on the rare occasions they found themselves with the ball at their feet. Many players were seen re-adjusting their heavy, rain-soaked hijabs and struggling in the humidity, though the events of the past weeks have likely also taken a toll. Tensions were high before the game kicked off, with about 100 Iranian fans setting up a demonstration outside the stadium that featured Lion and Sun flags, signs criticising the regime, and a metres-long banner showing the faces of...

Others, like Saylor, believe it will become the reserve currency for tokenized assets, transforming the global financial system in the process.

Key Points Rocket Lab generates $601.8 million in annual revenue with a $1.85 billion backlog; AST SpaceMobile has just $18.5 million in annual revenue, but is earlier in its development. AST's potential revenue could reach tens of billions if its satellite constellation succeeds, while Rocket Lab's Neutron rocket would let it compete directly with SpaceX for massive contracts. Both stocks carry extreme valuations and execution risk, but Rocket Lab's proven track record makes it the safer bet. 10 stocks we like better than AST SpaceMobile › Rocket Lab (NASDAQ: RKLB) and AST SpaceMobile (NASDAQ: ASTS) are two of the hottest stocks in the space sector. Both have delivered massive returns over the past year. Both trade at valuations that demand exceptional execution. But the bets you're making with each are fundamentally different -- and understanding that distinction matters. Rocket Lab vs. AST SpaceMobile: The numbers Rocket Lab has a market capitalization of roughly $40 billion on trailing revenue of nearly $601.8 million. AST trades at $24 billion on just $18.5 million in revenue. That makes Rocket Lab very expensive, and AST extremely expensive. Will AI create the world's first trillionaire?
