KAWASAKI, Japan, February 03, 2026--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Rakuten Mobile and 1Finity (a Fujitsu company) today announced a major collaboration to deploy 1Finity’s massive MIMO (mMIMO) Open RAN radios. The radios, designed by 1Finity to use Qualcomm Dragonwing™ QRU100 platforms, will be deployed at scale this year in Rakuten Mobile’s fully virtualized, cloud-native Open RAN network. This initiative will significantly enhance Rakuten Mobile’s network capacity and coverage, delivering faster, more reliable connectivity for customers across Japan. Leveraging 1Finity’s vast expertise in open networking and decades of RAN experience, the passively cooled O-RAN compliant mMIMO radio units (RUs) enable Rakuten Mobile to expand capacity sustainably, while providing outstanding energy efficiency and long-term reliability. Massive MIMO technology is typically deployed in the most challenging and critical areas of the network to significantly increase capacity while improving coverage and reducing energy per bit delivered. The 1Finity mMIMO Open RAN RU (O-RU) platform uses advanced beamforming techniques and spatial multiplexing to significantly increase capacity, as compared to conventional four-transmitter/ four-receiver (4T4R) RU solutions. Among the few O-RAN compliant mMIMO radios available in the industry, the 1Finity mMIMO O-RU is also one of the first of its kind to be deployed commercially at scale. Rakuten Mobile will deploy the 1Finity 32A37 mMIMO O-RU operating at 3.7 GHz, which will interoperate with Rakuten Symphony’s centralized unit (CU) and distributed unit (DU) via the O-RAN open fronthaul interface. This deployment complements the existing 1Finity 44R21 Open RAN RUs already providing wide coverage in the network. "Rakuten Mobile will continue to leverage our expertise in building fully virtualized, cloud-native mobile networks compatible with Open RAN in Japan, proceeding with the rapid deployment of 5G Sub-6 base stations and expanding our service areas," said Su...
OpenAI’s relationship with Nvidia has epitomized concerns about circularity in artificial-intelligence deals. The companies’ letter of intent, unveiled Sept. 22, called for Nvidia to invest as much as $100 billion in OpenAI over many years. While some of the money would flow back to Nvidia for its chips, some would help OpenAI pay for things like its deal for Oracle to supply computing capacity.

Nvidia actually has a solid case to double in 2026. Over the past few years, there have been few better stocks to own than Nvidia (NVDA 2.89%). In 2023, its stock rose 239%. It then followed up its excellent 2023 with a strong 2024, rising 171%. 2025 was a comparatively tame year, with the stock rising 39%. However, investors are wondering if Nvidia could double this year. It's not going to be easy to do, but if Nvidia can attain the same valuation as some of its peers, then I think it's entirely possible that Nvidia could double. However, investors need to watch out for rising competitors. Nvidia's hardware is best in class Nvidia's graphics processing units (GPUs) are the top computing option in the artificial intelligence (AI) realm. Its full technology stack is second to none and gives users a turnkey product to do all the AI training and processing they want. Although Nvidia's products are at the top of the industry, it's constantly innovating and launching new products Its next architecture generation, known as Rubin, cuts the number of GPUs needed to train an AI model by a fourth compared to the previous Blackwell generation. It can also be deployed for inference scenarios and at a 10x lower cost per token than Blackwell.

But all of this comes at a cost. It's no secret that you have to pay a premium to use Nvidia hardware. As a result, companies have been exploring cheaper alternatives. While they will never replace Nvidia completely, supplementing their computing infrastructure with products from competitors ensures that Nvidia's prices don't get too out of hand. Advanced Micro Devices' computing hardware is often c...

Uber Technologies Inc. is rolling out its ride hailing service in the Chinese gambling hub of Macau, expanding into a new Asian market for the first time in years. Riders from Tuesday will be able to book and pay for taxis in the city using multiple languages, the company said in a statement. It’s also offering a limousine service between Macau and neighboring Hong Kong, though trips must be booked 24 hours in advance. The move marks Uber’s first new entry to an Asian market for years. It sold its China business to Didi Global Inc. in 2016 and ceded populous Southeast Asia to Grab Holdings Inc. two years later, but continues to operate in big Asian markets including India, Japan and South Korea. Uber said it’s now actively recruiting to get up and running in Macau, including by offering bonuses for trips completed this month. It didn’t say how many taxis in the territory, which are controlled mainly by local companies, had signed up, meaning initial service is likely to be limited. Uber expects to offer robotaxi services in more than 10 markets by the end of 2026, with potential new locations including Hong Kong and Japan, Chief Executive Officer Dara Khosrowshahi told Bloomberg Television in December. Read More: Uber Boss Sees Robotaxis in More Than 10 Markets Next Year Macau, as the only Chinese territory where casinos are legal, attracts millions of visitors and billions of dollars of gaming revenue annually. It is a popular destination not only for mainland tourists, but also for people traveling from the global financial center of Hong Kong and elsewhere. Uber previously operated there but suspended its business in 2017.

The company continues to reap the benefits of robust securities trading on U.S. markets. Interactive Brokers Group (IBKR +0.52%) stock kicked off the trading week on a moderately positive note, closing Monday 0.5% higher. This followed the company's release of its latest set of key monthly operational and financial metrics. A good start to the year Interactive released its January statistics, and that first monthly update of 2026 spotlighted growth in several crucial areas of the company's operations. Chief among these was daily average revenue trades (DARTs), an important metric for brokers. For Interactive, these rose by a sturdy 27% year-over-year, and topped the December figure by 30%. Another double-digit improvement was recorded in the total number of client accounts, which was 32% higher year over year, reaching nearly 4.54 million. In terms of its customers' financials, total client equity rose by 38% from the January 2025 figure to top $814 billion, and margin loan balances for those folks increased 35% to nearly $163 billion. Expand NASDAQ : IBKR Interactive Brokers Group Today's Change ( 0.52 %) $ 0.39 Current Price $ 75.27 Key Data Points Market Cap $33B Day's Range $ 73.10 - $ 77.97 52wk Range $ 32.82 - $ 78.80 Volume 6.9M Avg Vol 4.3M Gross Margin 95.97 % Dividend Yield 0.40 % One caveat to bear in mind I should caution that, while these numbers are almost indisputably encouraging, they don't shed light on every aspect of Interactive's business. Factors like execution and management of costs and expenses matter too, and these come to light in quarterly and annual reports. That said, this update indicates that the specialized financial services company is effectively profiting from the still-frothy U.S. securities markets.

aapl Will Apple Stock AAPL Break Resistance on India Tax Win and Nvidia-Intel Chip Strategy? while fundamentals remain strong, investors are carefully judging whether the current upswing has further room to run Written by: Skerdian Meta • • 4 min read • Quick overview Apple's latest earnings report exceeded expectations, with total revenue reaching $143.8 billion and a notable 16% year-over-year increase. The company's stock saw a 4% increase following positive policy news from India, which supports Apple's manufacturing diversification efforts. iPhone sales surged to a record $85.3 billion, significantly outperforming analyst expectations and reinforcing its central role in Apple's ecosystem. While fundamentals remain strong, investors are cautious about sustaining growth amid high expectations and a complex global environment. Live AAPL Chart 0.0000 MARKETS TREND [[AAPL-graph]] Apple delivered another earnings beat, but while fundamentals remain strong, investors are carefully judging whether the current upswing has further room to run. Market Reaction: Strong Results, Cautious Optimism Apple’s latest earnings report comfortably exceeded expectations, yet the initial market reaction reflected restraint rather than outright enthusiasm. That caution faded on Monday, however, as Apple shares jumped roughly 4%, helped by positive policy news out of India and renewed optimism around the company’s supply-chain strategy. From a technical perspective, the stock is once again pressing higher and appears poised to resume its broader uptrend, provided it can clear the next resistance zone overhead. With momentum rebuilding, investors are reassessing whether Apple’s strong fundamentals justify a renewed push toward fresh highs. India Policy Shift Gives Apple a Strategic Boost A key catalyst for the renewed upside came from India, an increasingly important market and manufacturing hub for Apple. On Sunday, the Indian government announced that foreign companies will be allowed ...

If you are wondering whether QUALCOMM shares offer good value at today's price, you are not alone. A closer look at the numbers can help clarify where it stands. The stock last closed at US$152.63, with a 1.2% decline over 7 days, an 11.8% decline over 30 days, an 11.8% decline year to date, but still a 22.9% gain over 3 years and a 15.3% gain over 5 years. Recent attention on QUALCOMM has been shaped by ongoing discussions around semiconductor demand cycles and how large chipmakers are positioned in that context. Broader sector news about supply chains, pricing power and end market demand has helped frame how investors think about risk and potential opportunity in established names like QUALCOMM. On our checks, QUALCOMM scores 5 out of 6 on valuation, as shown by its . Next, we will compare different valuation methods and later look at a more complete way to think about what the stock could be worth. Advertisement Approach 1: QUALCOMM Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) Analysis A Discounted Cash Flow, or DCF, model estimates what a business could be worth by projecting its future cash flows and discounting them back to today using a required rate of return. It focuses on cash the company can generate for shareholders rather than short term earnings swings. For QUALCOMM, the model uses a 2 Stage Free Cash Flow to Equity approach, starting from last twelve month free cash flow of about $12.6b. Analysts provide explicit projections for several years, and Simply Wall St extrapolates further out, with estimated free cash flow of about $15.2b by 2030. The ten year path includes both analyst sourced figures and mechanically extended estimates, all expressed in $ and then discounted to reflect the time value of money. On this basis, the DCF model points to an estimated intrinsic value of about $163.92 per share, compared with the recent share price of $152.63. That implies the stock is around 6.9% below the modelled estimate of fair value, which is a relatively small gap and withi...

SlavkoSereda/iStock via Getty Images Oil futures fell more than 4% Monday as a broader selloff swept commodities markets and negotiations between the U.S. and Iran eased supply concerns. President Trump said over the weekend that Iran was "seriously talking" with the U.S., signaling a de-escalation of tensions and reducing concerns about a potential confrontation that could disrupt oil supplies from the Middle East, while a stronger dollar and milder weather forecasts also pressured prices. The decline in oil prices "could extend as de-escalation shifts focus back to unfavorable fundamentals," Tradu’s Nikos Tzabouras said in a note, adding that supply is rising faster than demand "amid global economic headwinds," although further declines could prove limited "as supply risks are likely to persist." Trump's repeated threats with intervention if Iran did not agree to a nuclear deal or if it continued killing protesters had underpinned oil prices throughout January. Forecasts for milder weather in the U.S. also pressured oil prices, as diesel futures plummeted nearly 7% Monday. With these issues fading, the market's focus is returning to a widely expected buildup of global oil inventories this year. The U.S. dollar added to gains Monday as currency traders backed Trump's nomination of Kevin Warsh as the next Federal Reserve chair; a stronger dollar makes dollar-denominated oil more expensive for investors using other currencies. Separately, Trump said India agreed to stop purchasing Russian oil as part of a trade deal reached with the U.S., which would include more oil purchases from the U.S. and potentially from Venezuela; as part of the deal, the U.S. agreed to reduce tariffs on India to 18% from 25%. Finally, key OPEC+ members agreed to keep oil production unchanged at their Sunday meeting, as expected.
