lcva2/iStock Editorial via Getty Images lcva2/iStock Editorial via Getty Images MSFT Is Still A Buy, Despite All The Fears At first glance, it looks unfortunate for my coverage history that I called Microsoft Corporation ( MSFT ) stock a buy right ahead of its fiscal Q2 earnings release because, following the print , the stock has already lost over 13% (and it seems to be heading right to its multi-week support zone). TrendSpider Software, MSFT, the author's notes Based on the firm's Q4 update , Microsoft's CAPEX surged by 66% YoY to $37.5 billion - and it's just for a single quarter. As a result, the company is now burning basically all of its free cash flows if we take a look at the unlevered level (per Seeking Alpha's normalized data ). Seeking Alpha, MSFT's cash flow statement Given that 2/3 of this massive capital spending is flowing to short-lived assets like GPUs and CPUs, where the useful life might be only 5-7 years in some cases, I think the market is punishing MSFT for the lack of immediate ROI on what's been invested. Especially so when we recall Microsoft Cloud's gross margins contracting to ~67% - the lowest level over the past few years. MSFT's press release Despite all these risk factors that MSFT has been facing for the past few months, I believe the stock's correction is a result of overreaction. We've seen that MSFT's Azure growth decelerated to 39% from 40%, and the management guided for Q3 FY2026 Azure growth of 37-38%, effectively confirming the slowing trajectory. But it's still well above 30%, and it's great for a cloud provider that holds 24% of the global market . The management team is intentionally sacrificing short-term Azure optical growth - if they didn't do that and allocated all newly acquired GPUs solely to Azure, Azure's growth KPI "would have been over 40%", per the CFO. And a way to think about it, because I think, I get asked this question sometimes, is if I had taken the GPUs that just came online in Q1 and Q2 in terms of GPUs ...

GE Aerospace (GE) is one of the stocks most watched by Zacks.com visitors lately. So, it might be a good idea to review some of the factors that might affect the near-term performance of the stock. Over the past month, shares of this industrial conglomerate have returned +6.5%, compared to the Zacks S&P 500 composite's +3.6% change. During this period, the Zacks Aerospace - Defense industry, which GE falls in, has gained 2.6%. The key question now is: What could be the stock's future direction? While media releases or rumors about a substantial change in a company's business prospects usually make its stock 'trending' and lead to an immediate price change, there are always some fundamental facts that eventually dominate the buy-and-hold decision-making. Earnings Estimate Revisions Rather than focusing on anything else, we at Zacks prioritize evaluating the change in a company's earnings projection. This is because we believe the fair value for its stock is determined by the present value of its future stream of earnings. We essentially look at how sell-side analysts covering the stock are revising their earnings estimates to reflect the impact of the latest business trends. And if earnings estimates go up for a company, the fair value for its stock goes up. A higher fair value than the current market price drives investors' interest in buying the stock, leading to its price moving higher. This is why empirical research shows a strong correlation between trends in earnings estimate revisions and near-term stock price movements. For the current quarter, GE is expected to post earnings of $1.41 per share, indicating a change of +6.8% from the year-ago quarter. The Zacks Consensus Estimate has changed +7.5% over the last 30 days. For the current fiscal year, the consensus earnings estimate of $6.14 points to a change of +33.5% from the prior year.

Boeing (BA) has recently been on Zacks.com's list of the most searched stocks. Therefore, you might want to consider some of the key factors that could influence the stock's performance in the near future. Shares of this airplane builder have returned -4.7% over the past month versus the Zacks S&P 500 composite's +3% change. The Zacks Aerospace - Defense industry, to which Boeing belongs, has gained 0.5% over this period. Now the key question is: Where could the stock be headed in the near term? While media releases or rumors about a substantial change in a company's business prospects usually make its stock 'trending' and lead to an immediate price change, there are always some fundamental facts that eventually dominate the buy-and-hold decision-making. Earnings Estimate Revisions Here at Zacks, we prioritize appraising the change in the projection of a company's future earnings over anything else. That's because we believe the present value of its future stream of earnings is what determines the fair value for its stock. Our analysis is essentially based on how sell-side analysts covering the stock are revising their earnings estimates to take the latest business trends into account. When earnings estimates for a company go up, the fair value for its stock goes up as well. And when a stock's fair value is higher than its current market price, investors tend to buy the stock, resulting in its price moving upward. Because of this, empirical studies indicate a strong correlation between trends in earnings estimate revisions and short-term stock price movements. For the current quarter, Boeing is expected to post a loss of $2.10 per share, indicating a change of -346.8% from the year-ago quarter. The Zacks Consensus Estimate has changed -949.5% over the last 30 days. For the current fiscal year, the consensus earnings estimate of -$16.09 points to a change of -176.9% from the prior year. Over the last 30 days, this estimate has changed -195.5%. For the next fiscal yea...

Cillian Murphy reprises his haunted gang boss in Steven Knight’s muscular film spin-off – as a wartime clash with Nazis and family betrayal pulls him back to Birmingham After six TV series from 2013 to 2022, which caused a worrying surge in flat cap-wearing among well-to-do men in country pubs, Peaky Blinders is now getting a hefty standalone feature film, a muscular picture swamped in mud and blood. This is the movie version of Steven Knight’s global small-screen hit, based on the real-life gangs that swaggered through Birmingham from Victorian times until well into the 20th century. Cillian Murphy returns with his uniquely unsettling, almost sightless stare as Tommy Shelby, family chieftain of a Romani-traveller gang, a man who has converted his trauma in the trenches of the first world war into a ruthless determination to survive and rule. As we join the story some years after the curtain last came down, it is 1940, Britain’s darkest hour and Tommy is the crime-lion in winter. He now lives in a huge, remote mansion, far from the Birmingham crime scene he did so much to create, alone except for his henchman Johnny Dogs, played by Packy Lee. Evidently wearied and sickened by it all, Tommy is haunted by his ghosts and demons: memories of his late brother, Arthur, and dead daughter, Ruby, and working on what will be his definitive autobiography. (Sadly, we don’t get any scenes of Tommy having lunch with a drawling London publisher or agent.) Continue reading...

Last week, my ex-wife texted me. She usually does that when my son falls off his skateboard or learns a new expletive to say on the playground. This time was different. “Have you seen Jim Carrey?” she asked, apropos of nothing we had discussed previously. It was as if she was asking me if I’d seen her misplaced keys. “No, I have not seen Jim Carrey. Have you looked under the couch?” I replied. “Seriously, Google him,” she said. And so, dear reader, I did. What I found has haunted me all week. Not because I find Jim Carrey’s new face in any way disturbing, but because it seems that millions of other people who have never met Jim Carrey do. Almost immediately after Carrey appeared at the César awards in Paris to accept a lifetime achievement award, the internet lit up with the preposterous, but tantalizing theory that the actor who first came to prominence for talking out of his own butt in a movie had been replaced by a clone who had never once talked out of his own butt, because he was just hatched a few days ago. Why did people decide that they’d put their own reputations as sane individuals on the line to declare a hoax perpetrated by the star of Mr Popper’s Penguins? Because Jim Carrey’s face looked a little different. His cheeks were fuller. His eyelids pulled up. Worse yet for the Carrey truthers, he wasn’t grinning like a buffoon the entire time or farting La Marseillaise on command. Surely, Jim Carrey, a 64-year-old adult man, couldn’t be expected to accept an award with grace and dignity. No, he needed to breach the womb of a rubber rhinoceros, then accept the trophy in the nude. That’s the real Jim Carrey, metaphorically biting the heads off chickens for our amusement. This Jim Carrey – this rank imposter – must have been hatched in a laboratory using the same technology that cloned Tom Brady’s dog. Now, not everyone said Carrey was specifically snatched out of the world and replaced with an artificially created double. Some people, like my ex, were more op...

In some ways, history is repeating itself. In 1982 Chelsea and Wrexham met in the FA Cup after they had beaten Hull City and Nottingham Forest, respectively, in the previous round. The same has happened in 2026; but this is where the similarities end. When the clubs met 44 years ago they were both in the second tier and had huge debts. With Chelsea reportedly £1.6m in the red, the future of Stamford Bridge was in doubt as property developers hovered. Relegation-threatened Wrexham spent the majority of the 1980s merely trying to survive. On top of inconsistent league form and financial woe, Chelsea also had problems with their supporters. After trouble at Derby in November 1981, the FA banned Chelsea fans from away matches. However, policing the ban proved almost impossible. Chelsea fans continued to travel and make their way into the home ends of various grounds. The ban was lifted after a few months but the episode did little for the club’s reputation. The 1981-82 league season was not so good for Wrexham – they were relegated to the third tier – but their FA Cup run brought some positivity. The club pulled off a big shock in the third round, beating Brian Clough’s Nottingham Forest 3-1 at the City Ground. They went behind in the second minute but three goals in 12 minutes from Steve Dowman, Mick Vinter and Dixie McNeil handed Wrexham a richly deserved win. View image in fullscreen Wrexham players celebrate beating Nottingham Forest to set up an FA Cup tie against Chelsea. Photograph: PA Chelsea needed a replay to beat fourth-tier Hull City and reach the fourth round. After a goalless draw at Stamford Bridge, the teams met at Boothferry Park, where late goals from Alan Mayes and John Bumstead edged them through. The win brought relief to a team that had been knocked out of the League Cup by fourth-tier Wigan. The tie in Wales was a romantic one for the Chelsea manager, John Neal, who had enjoyed nine productive years in charge of Wrexham from 1968 to 1977. His spel...

Shares of software giant Oracle Corporation (ORCL) have been under pressure lately, with the stock sliding into double-digit losses in early 2026 as a growing list of concerns rattles investor confidence. Much of the scrutiny centers on Oracle’s massive $300 billion partnership with OpenAI, which has fueled debate on Wall Street about the scale and risks of the company’s aggressive artificial intelligence (AI) push. Investor anxiety has intensified as Oracle ramps up capital expenditures to fund a massive AI infrastructure buildout, particularly through new data centers. But this aggressive spending spree has also pushed Oracle’s debt levels higher, raising fresh questions about how the company plans to fund its ambitions, and whether its cash flow can keep pace. In fact, the situation has become even more complicated as Oracle faces multiple securities fraud class-action lawsuits. The complaints allege that the company and its executives misled investors about its AI infrastructure strategy, capital spending plans, and the risks tied to its massive data center investments, especially those linked to OpenAI contracts. At the same time, the rapid rise of AI agents is beginning to reshape the broader software industry, sparking fresh debate about the long-term durability of traditional software business models, an evolving shift that has only added to the pressure weighing on ORCL shares. So, with legal scrutiny rising, capital spending climbing, and AI-driven industry disruption accelerating, is the recent pullback in Oracle shares a tempting buy-the-dip opportunity, or a sign of bigger challenges brewing ahead? About Oracle Stock Founded in 1977, Texas-based Oracle is one of the world’s leading enterprise technology companies. The company develops database software, cloud infrastructure, and AI-powered enterprise applications that help organizations manage data, run business operations, and build modern digital services.

Posts from this author will be added to your daily email digest and your homepage feed. Apple is asking artists and record labels on its music streaming platform to voluntarily label songs that were made using AI. The new “Transparency Tags” metadata system for Apple Music was announced in a newsletter to industry partners yesterday, according to Music Business Worldwide, and covers four categories, including track, composition, artwork, and music videos. The track tag should be applied when “a material portion of a sound recording” has been generated by AI tools, while the composition tag covers other AI-generated compositional elements, such as song lyrics. The artwork tag applies to static or moving graphics, but only at the album level. For all other AI-generated visual content — whether standalone or bundled with albums — the music video tag should be applied. Multiple transparency tags can be used simultaneously for works that require more than one of these disclosures. In its newsletter, Apple says its new tags are a “concrete first step” toward achieving industry-wide transparency around AI-generated music, and that labels and distributors “must take an active role in reporting when the content they deliver is created using AI.” Apple Music’s tagging system follows other efforts from competing music streaming providers to protect authentic artists from spam and impersonation, and help make AI-generated music easier for users to identify. Spotify is developing a new metadata standard for AI music disclosures with DDEX — a music standards-setting organization that currently lists senior Apple Music exec Nick Williamson as a board member. Deezer also made the AI music detection tool it launched last year available to other platforms in January, while Qobuz introduced its own proprietary AI detection system last week. In contrast to Deezer and Qobuz’s proactive detection systems, Apple Music’s Transparency Tags are entirely optional (for now) and place the respo...

NEW HAVEN, Conn., March 5, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- A group of leading global companies has today announced a $100 million initiative to accelerate the reduction of superpollutants - powerful warming agents such as methane, black carbon, and refrigerant gases that are responsible for roughly half of all climate warming to date and can contribute to harmful air pollution. Beyond is an alliance of companies and NGOs scaling corporate climate finance through high-integrity, market-based mechanisms. This new effort – the Superpollutant Action Initiative – aims to deliver positive climate, health, and economic benefits by scaling funding for projects that cut these often short-lived but highly potent pollutants. Through the initiative, companies including Amazon, Autodesk, Figma, Google, JPMorganChase, Salesforce, and Workday, will each identify and fund high-impact projects targeting superpollutants around the world. The aim of this initiative is to deploy $100 million through 2030 to unlock action in areas where progress is critically needed. "Superpollutants are a major part of the equation to limit atmospheric warming. Experts agree that eliminating them where we can is one of the most powerful levers we have to deliver near-term impact, playing a vital and complementary role to removing CO2. Google is excited to join our peers in accelerating progress to eliminate superpollutants," said Randy Spock, Carbon Credits and Removals Lead, Google. Superpollutants are emitted from sources including energy production, agriculture, waste, and cooling systems. Although the most common ones remain in the atmosphere for less time than carbon dioxide, they can trap heat tens to thousands of times more powerfully, making their reduction one of the fastest ways to slow near-term warming. Many solutions to cut superpollutants are already available and cost-effective. Methane alone drives roughly a third of today's near-term warming and global methane abatement could avoid more than $1 t...

While most of the venture world has been chasing AI deals, Max Hodak — the co-founder and former president of Neuralink — has been working on a startup that claims to be on the verge of being the first brain-computer interface company to get a product to market. Those claims haven’t gone unnoticed. Hodak’s startup, Science Corporation, said Wednesday morning that it has raised $230 million in a Series C funding round. A source close to the startup says the round granted Science Corp. a post-money valuation of $1.25 billion. In the short-term, Science Corp. is betting on PRIMA, a chip said to be smaller than a grain of rice that, when implanted in the eye, works with camera-equipped glasses to restore functional vision to people suffering from advanced macular degeneration. The startup hasn’t fully developed the tech itself: It bought PRIMA’s assets in 2024 from French outfit Pixium Vision, refined it, and completed trials that Pixium had started. But the clinical results Science has since generated are its own. In trials spanning 47 patients across Europe and the U.S., 80% demonstrated meaningful improvement in visual acuity and were able to read letters, numbers, and words, the company says. “To my knowledge, this is the first time that restoration of the ability to fluently read has ever been definitively shown in blind patients,” Hodak told TechCrunch in an interview in December. The startup’s device has also made the cover of Time magazine. It isn’t clear when PRIMA will be available to patients, but the regulatory path is taking shape. Science Corp. has submitted a CE mark application for the implant to the European Union, and says it expects an approval in mid-2026, following which it’ll launch the product in the continent. It claims this timeline would make it the first BCI company with a product in market. Techcrunch event Disrupt 2026: The tech ecosystem, all in one room Your next round. Your next hire.

Once you turn 73, you're no longer in complete control of when you take money out of your retirement accounts. You have to take required minimum distributions (RMDs) from select accounts, and you usually have to pay taxes on that money, too. Skipping your RMDs results in a costly 25% penalty, so it's important not to miss your deadline. This might leave you wondering whether it's worth getting it out of the way now. It could be, but it depends a lot on what's most important to you. Should you take your RMD right now? Most people have until Dec. 31 of the year in question to take their RMDs, so you still have plenty of time to take your 2026 RMD. However, those who turned 73 last year actually have until April 1, 2026 to take their 2025 RMD. If you're in this group and haven't done this yet, you should absolutely take your RMD in March. Act as quickly as possible. If this doesn't apply to you, you have to think about what matters most to you. If you're worried you'll forget to take your RMD if you don't take it soon, it might be wise to get it out of the way now. The downside to doing this is that you'll miss out on the investment earnings you may have gotten throughout the rest of 2026. But this isn't guaranteed. If your investments decline over the coming months, you might be glad you got your RMD out of the way earlier. If you want the best of both worlds, you can divide your RMD by the number of months remaining in the year. Withdraw a little each month until you've taken it all. How to calculate your RMD To calculate your RMD, you need to know your retirement account balance as of Dec. 31 of the previous year. For 2026, that's Dec. 31, 2025. Check with your plan administrator if you're not sure what this was. Divide your account balance by the distribution period next to your name in the IRS' Uniform Lifetime Table. For example, if you have $100,000 in a traditional IRA and you're 75, you'd divide $100,000 by 24.6 to get an RMD of about $4,065 from that account....

Free browser extension brings instant, recruiter-friendly tech definitions to every step of the hiring workflow CENTENNIAL, Colo., March 05, 2026--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dice (a DHI Group, Inc. brand; NYSE: DHX), a leading tech career marketplace, announced today it is partnering with GlossaryTech, a free browser extension that provides tech recruiters instant, plain-language definitions of technical terminology as they work. Available now in the Dice Recruiter Hub at no additional cost to clients, GlossaryTech is the latest investment in helping recruiting teams evaluate tech candidates faster, more confidently, and without interrupting their workflow. Tech terminology evolves quickly with new frameworks, languages and tools emerging every day. Even experienced recruiters struggle to quickly distinguish Java from JavaScript, AWS from Azure, or React from Angular. Without the right support, that means switching between Google or their AI tool, losing time, and wading through engineer-facing content that wasn’t built for recruiting teams. GlossaryTech, with Dice’s partnership, solves that problem directly inside the workflow. Once installed on Chrome or Edge, GlossaryTech automatically highlights technical terms on any webpage, including Dice, Gmail, Google Docs, and more. Recruiters can simply hover over any term to receive a clear, recruiter-friendly definition. A category sidebar, organized by Front-end, Back-end, DevOps, Databases, QA, and more, helps teams match a candidate’s skills to open roles at a glance. "At Dice, our commitment goes beyond access to candidates; we’re focused on making the entire hiring process more seamless and efficient," said Paul Farnsworth, President of Dice. "Partnering with GlossaryTech reflects that commitment. When recruiters can instantly understand the technical terms in a job description or résumé without breaking their workflow, they source more effectively, evaluate more quickly, and ultimately make stronger hires. We’re proud to of...

A yacht sails past a plume of smoke rising from the port of Jebel Ali following a reported Iranian strike in Dubai on March 1, 2026. Fadel Senna | Afp | Getty Images A version of this article first appeared in CNBC's Inside Wealth newsletter with Robert Frank, a weekly guide to the high net worth investor and consumer. Sign up to receive future editions, straight to your inbox. The Iran war has shaken Dubai's status as a global wealth hub, as legions of expatriates scramble to escape and family offices and wealth managers reconsider their Middle East footprint. For the past decade, Dubai , in the United Arab Emirates, has successfully marketed itself as a safe haven for the global elite. It's sunny, safe and largely tax-free. Its ever-growing supply of luxury villas, condo towers and creature comforts for the 1% made Dubai the ultimate playground for worry-free wealth. Now, however, Dubai's reputation for safety has been shattered. Dubai's five-star Fairmont The Palm Hotel, on its famed man-made, palm-shaped archipelago, was struck by an explosion. Debris from a downed Iranian drone set fire to Burj Al Arab hotel and the Dubai airport was damaged by a missile strike. On Tuesday, the U.S. Consulate in Dubai was targeted by a suspected drone strike, causing a fire nearby. "The U.S.-Israel war on Iran is upending that crucial aura of security in Dubai," said Jim Krane, a fellow at Rice University's Baker Institute. "Dubai's economic model is based on expatriate residents providing the brains, brawn and investment capital. You need stability and security to bring in smart foreigners." Dubai and the United Arab Emirates sought to quickly reassure investors and downplay the violence. The UAE's National Emergency Crisis and Disasters Management Authority announced Saturday that "the situation was under control." Dubai's police force this week threatened to arrest and jail social media influencers who share social content that "contradicts official announcements or that may...

Nvidia (NVDA) has reportedly halted production of China-bound H200 chips, the Financial Times reported, as regulatory efforts in Washington and Beijing have restricted imports to the Chinese market. News that Nvidia would shift its TSMC output to focus on the Vera Rubin platform came after CEO Jensen Huang suggested on Wednesday that the artificial intelligence leader's multibillion-dollar investments in AI startups OpenAI (OPAI.PVT) and Anthropic (ANTH.PVT) could be its last for a while, as he anticipates those startups going public. At an industry conference on Wednesday, Huang hinted that the investments were finalized, saying Nvidia would invest $30 billion in OpenAI and that investing the full $100 billion was "probably not in the cards." Huang's statement on the company's investments comes as investors continue to assess the fallout from OpenAI's partnership with the Pentagon, which emerged just as Anthropic's deal with the Defense Department fell apart. However, on Thursday, the Financial Times reported that Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei has resumed negotiations with the Defense Department to put a military contract back on the table. Earlier this week, tech watchers were also treated to a slew of product announcements from Apple (AAPL). The product release list included a new low-cost MacBook Neo computer, an entry-level iPhone 17e smartphone, two new iPad Airs, and new MacBook Air and MacBook Pro laptops with more powerful M5 chips.

Tesla, Inc. CEO Elon Musk continues to raise the stakes on his AI vision, arguing that Tesla could be among the first companies to create artificial general intelligence—and to embody it in humanoid robots. Elon Musk's Claim In an early morning post on X, he said Tesla will be one of the firms to make AGI and "probably the first to make it in humanoid/atom-shaping form," expressing his view of the company as a front‑runner in the race for human‑level AI. Tesla will be one of the companies to make AGI and probably the first to make it in humanoid/atom-shaping form — Elon Musk (@elonmusk) March 4, 2026 Don't Miss: AGI, or artificial general intelligence, refers to systems that can perform most intellectual tasks a human can, across domains like reasoning, planning and learning, instead of being confined to a narrow use case such as driving or language. Musk's claim puts Tesla in the same competitive arena as dedicated AI labs like OpenAI and Google DeepMind, despite Tesla's public image as an EV automaker. He has pointed to the company's massive real‑world data from Autopilot and its Dojo supercomputer as strategic assets on the path to AGI. Trending: Disney Was Built on Character IP — This Pre-IPO Company Is Using the Same Playbook Tesla's Edge Where Musk tries to differentiate Tesla is in what he calls "humanoid/atom-shaping" form. The phrase is a nod to Optimus, the company's humanoid robot project, and to factory automation systems that can physically manipulate the world with high precision. Advertisement Rather than imagining AGI as a purely cloud‑based digital mind, Musk envisions embodied intelligence: robots and advanced manufacturing platforms that can "shape atoms" by assembling, welding or handling objects with human‑like dexterity, and eventually, finer‑grained control. Musk continues to promote Tesla not only as an EV and energy company, but as a platform for general‑purpose humanoid robots and AI systems that act directly on the physical world. Read Nex...

Eoneren/iStock via Getty Images While the war in the Middle East continues, aside from higher energy prices, the incoming data on the domestic front reflects an economy that is gaining strength to start the new year. Investors would be wise to ignore the doomsday drumbeat from bearish prognosticators and focus on the fundamentals, which are building the case for more bull market gains. The major market indexes rose sharply yesterday, erasing the losses from earlier this week. Assuming the peak in oil prices on Monday is not surpassed, we have probably seen the extent of the geopolitical-driven drawdown. That is a big if! If not, we are likely to test Monday’s low. At the same time, I think significantly higher oil prices would also force the Trump administration to deescalate. The President is particularly sensitive to market performance. Finviz Yesterday, I noted that oil prices have only been detrimental to economic expansions when we have seen more than a 100% increase in price within a 12-month period. That would require $115 per barrel today. Regardless, stocks will likely trade on an inverse basis with oil until the war-premium subsides. In the meantime, the economy appears to have picked up speed in February, as fiscal stimulus from tax refunds, tax cuts, and accelerated depreciation stimulate growth. That was evident in yesterday’s data. Bloomberg The report that lit the fire under yesterday’s market was the Institute for Supply Management’s survey of service sector executives. Its Services Index (PMI) rose 2.3% points to 56.1, which is the fastest pace of expansion since mid-2022. The improvement was broad, as business activity, new orders, and employment all strengthened notably. Fourteen out of seventeen industries realized growth. Even better, the sub-index for prices paid for services and materials eased to a one-year low. This is the best reading on the economy in a very long time. Bloomberg If this improvement in the service sector sustains, it should...

Credo Technology Group CRDO is reinforcing its position in the AI space through a focused inorganic expansion strategy. The company recently acquired high-speed connectivity IP firm CoMira Solutions. The acquisition, announced alongside its third-quarter fiscal 2026 results, strengthens Credo’s existing scale-out products such as ZeroFlap (“ZF”) AECs, ZF Optics and ALCs, as well as OmniConnect solutions through innovative connectivity products like link layer, error correction (“ECC”) and security semiconductor IP. CoMira buyout will enable upcoming features across multiple protocols, including UALink, Ethernet, ESUN and PCIe, for Credo’s scale-up and scale-out AI products, deepening its differentiation in reliability and system-level integration. Zacks Investment Research Image Source: Zacks Investment Research The CoMira acquisition builds on Credo’s earlier Hyperlume acquisition, announced in October 2025. With this buyout, CRDO expects to boost its next-generation connectivity solutions as artificial intelligence ("AI"), cloud and hyperscale data centers place unprecedented demands on data infrastructure deployments. MicroLED technology offers energy-efficient, high-speed and low-latency data transmission needed for scaling AI clusters. Hyperlume’s microLED technology leverages “specialized, ultra-fast microLEDs and ultra-low power circuitry” to address energy and bandwidth constraints as seen in traditional electronic interconnects. With microLEDs gaining recognition as a next-generation optical technology, Credo gains an early foothold in what could become a standard for data center interconnects. Acquisitions like this are valuable for companies as they accelerate access to the latest technologies. These types of buyouts provide valuable tools, technologies and market access that accelerate and amplify organic growth. These inorganic moves come as Credo delivers exceptional financial momentum. Revenues for the third quarter jumped 51.9% sequentially and 201.5...
