A Bangladeshi man who spent over three years on bail in Malaysia fighting local child pornography charges has been spirited to Alaska by the FBI to face what prosecutors describe as one of the most prolific child exploitation cases in US history. Zobaidul Amin, 28, was brought from Malaysia to the United States last Wednesday and made his initial appearance in a federal court in Anchorage the following day, where he pleaded not guilty to all 13 counts, according to the US Department of Justice (DOJ). The transfer followed years of cooperation between US and Malaysian authorities after Amin was first arrested in Malaysia in September 2022, during a joint investigation involving the US Federal Bureau of Investigation and Royal Malaysia Police. A US federal grand jury had already indicted Amin two months earlier, in July 2022, meaning he was a wanted man when Malaysian police moved on him.

At that court appearance, Amin pleaded not guilty to multiple charges related to the production and possession of child sexual abuse material, according to Malaysian news outlet Sinar Harian.

His trial was still under way as recently as November 2024, when a scheduled hearing was postponed for prosecution review. Malaysian state news agency Bernama reported that authorities had been working with US counterparts since his arrest as part of an international investigation into alleged online exploitation.

Advertisement What NVIDIA’s Latest Performance Metrics Mean For Investors NVIDIA (NVDA) is back in focus as investors weigh its recent share performance against its role as a large AI infrastructure provider. The stock last closed at US$182.65, with a mixed set of recent return figures. Over the past month, NVIDIA’s share price shows a return of about a 1% decline, while the past 3 months also reflect a modest negative move. Year to date, the stock is down roughly 3%, though the 1 year total return of about 71% and a very large 3 year total return highlight how different time frames can tell very different stories. For longer term holders, the 5 year total return, at around 13x, underlines how significant compounding can be over multi year periods, even if shorter stretches feel more muted or choppy. The recent 1 day share price return of 2.7% comes after a softer start to the year, with year to date share price performance in negative territory while the 1 year and multi year total shareholder returns remain very strong. That mix of shorter term cooling and longer term strength suggests some momentum has faded for now as investors reassess how much growth and risk they are willing to price in at around US$182.65 per share. If NVIDIA’s moves in AI infrastructure have your attention, it can be useful to see what else is out there in this theme. Take a look at our screener of as a starting point for comparing other names in the space. So with NVIDIA delivering strong 1 year and multi year total returns but trading around US$182.65 after a softer stretch, is the recent cooling a fresh entry point or is the market already pricing in future growth? Most Popular Narrative: 7.3% Overvalued According to the most followed narrative, NVIDIA’s fair value sits at $170.26 per share, which is below the recent close at $182.65, framing this as a premium story. Nvidia will hit $400b annual revenue in 5 years time. ~90% of revenue will come from data centre customers. This equates t...

Justin Sullivan/Getty Images News Apple ( AAPL ) reportedly boosted iPhone production in India by about 53% in 2025, assembling roughly 55M devices, up from 36M a year earlier, as the company continues shifting manufacturing away from China to reduce tariff exposure. India now accounts for about a quarter of Apple’s iPhone output, Bloomberg News reported, citing people familiar with the matter. Apple has accelerated its expansion in India in recent years, supported by production-linked incentives introduced by PM Narendra Modi to boost local manufacturing. The subsidies have helped offset some of the structural cost disadvantages that manufacturers face in India, including the lack of a China-like robust supply chain and logistics challenges. In 2025, shipments from China, where Apple still produces most of its iPhones, faced pressure from U.S. tariffs tied to the ongoing trade tensions between the two countries. This has also pushed Apple and suppliers to move more devices destined for the American market to alternative locations, with India emerging as a key manufacturing hub. Despite the shift, assembling electronics in India still costs more than in countries such as China and Vietnam, prompting companies including Apple ( AAPL ), Samsung Electronics ( SSNLF ), and others to seek additional government support. India’s current smartphone production incentives are set to expire on March 31, and companies are in talks with New Delhi about extending subsidies to remain competitive. Apple ( AAPL ) currently assembles the iPhone 17 series in India, including Pro and Pro Max models, while suppliers such as Foxconn Technology Group, Tata Electronics, and Pegatron also produce earlier models like the iPhone 16 and iPhone 15 for domestic sales and exports. The ramp-up underscores Apple’s strategy to build India as a second major iPhone manufacturing base, while expanding local suppliers producing components such as lithium-ion cells, device enclosures, and accessories, in...

These days, the topic of artificial intelligence usually comes up when discussing AVGO stock. It practically must. The numbers that Broadcom has released on recent earnings calls have had the kind of momentum that causes analysts to lean slightly forward. AI revenue alone reached roughly $8.4 billion in the company’s latest quarter, doubling from a year earlier. As the market responds to that number, it appears that investors are still figuring out what it might mean for the chip industry as a whole. Despite having roots dating back decades, Broadcom Inc., the company behind the ticker, is based in Palo Alto. The company began as a semiconductor division within Hewlett-Packard in the early 1960s, long before the current AI hype. It underwent numerous transformations over the years, including joining Agilent, splitting off as Avago Technologies, and finally becoming Broadcom following a significant acquisition in 2016. Although these changes may seem like dull corporate history, looking at the company’s timeline reveals something intriguing: Broadcom has been quietly assembling the tools required for the data-center era for years. Category Details Company Name Broadcom Inc. Stock Ticker AVGO CEO Tan Hock Eng Headquarters Palo Alto, California, United States Industry Semiconductors and Infrastructure Software Market Capitalization Surpassed $1 Trillion in December 2024 Main Revenue Segments Semiconductor Solutions (≈58%), Infrastructure Software (≈42%) Major Acquisition VMware – $69 Billion Deal (2023) AI Revenue (Recent Quarter) $8.4 Billion, up 106% YoY Official Website https://www.broadcom.com It’s difficult to ignore how much of the current hype is centered around AI chips. Broadcom’s custom ASIC chips have emerged as a crucial component of the specialized hardware required by the data centers that train large language models. Recently, sales of those chips increased by roughly 140%. Although it’s still unclear how long such rapid growth can last, investors appear...
