格隆汇2月9日｜据一财，开年以来，国家集成电路产业投资基金在半导体板块的减持动作持续受到市场关注。2月8日晚间，安路科技发布公告称，股东大基金一期拟在未来三个月内减持不超过公司总股本的2%。这已是安路科技自2025年以来第三次迎来大基金的减持计划。与此同时，沪硅产业、泰凌微、慧智微等多家半导体公司也在近期相继披露了大基金的最新减持进展或计划。从已公布的信息来看，大基金一期、二期均有减持操作，涉及公司多为已上市多年的半导体产业链企业。尽管短期内减持动作频繁，但业内普遍认为，这是大基金作为产业投资基金的正常投资退出行为，长期陪伴产业成长、助力国产替代的战略方向并未改变。

解放軍旗下網站，點名批評多部日本動漫作品，呼籲要警惕日本軍國主義的滲透。 解放軍新聞傳播中心在社交平台上載以AI生成的片段，並發表文章，提到日本動漫作品《名偵探柯南》，以及曾被質疑辱華的《我的英雄學院》近日的聯動事件。還有「寶可夢」的拜鬼事件，即「寵物小精靈」Pokemon，早前打算在供奉二戰甲級戰犯的靖國神社舉行活動，指這些事件再次提醒大眾，日本軍國主義在文體領域，仍然陰魂不散。 文章又指情況並非偶然，前年乒乓球運動員張本智和等人參拜供奉侵略者東鄉平八郎的東鄉神社等，亦是事例之一。 文章指日本右翼勢力，透過青少年日常最常接觸的演藝偶像、動漫遊戲等，以他們喜愛的形式，灌輸經過美化歪曲的虛構歷史。目的是要從根本上，截斷真實歷史記憶的代際傳承，為復活軍國主義埋下思想伏筆。提醒所有愛好和平的人，都應該警惕日本軍國主義，在文體領域的滲透。

日本眾議院大選結果出爐，首相高市早苗領導的自民黨，取得逾三分之二席位。有內地分析指，選舉過後日本將加速再軍事化進程，甚至成為核風險擴散的源頭。 新華社旗下微信公眾號「牛彈琴」，分析今次自民黨「歷史性」大勝，平衡被徹底打破，指日本可能會更危險。 未來需要警惕多個風險，包括日本首相高市早苗，不排除會強行修改和平憲法，將自衛隊改成「國防軍」，並可能面臨日本更加民粹化的風險。 《環球時報》引述學者稱，今次選戰將會根本性影響日本未來政策走向，日本政壇有可能重回「一強多弱」格局。 以高市早苗為代表的右翼保守勢力，會進一步確定政壇主導地位，而傳統的中左政治勢力，可能進一步被邊緣化。 另外有學者認為，今次眾議院選舉後，日本再軍事化進程必定會加速發展，日本將進一步成為地區安全緊張、陣營對立、軍備競賽，乃至核風險擴散的源頭。

In this article NVO HIMS Follow your favorite stocks CREATE FREE ACCOUNT The logo of pharmaceutical company Novo Nordisk is displayed in front of its offices in Bagsvaerd, Copenhagen, Denmark, February 4, 2026. Tom Little | Reuters Novo Nordisk on Monday said it is suing online telehealth provider Hims & Hers for mass marketing cheaper, unapproved copies of the drugmaker's new Wegovy obesity pill and injections in the U.S. Novo is asking the court to permanently ban Hims from selling compounded versions of its drugs that infringe on the company's patents, and is seeking to recover damages. In a release, Novo accused Hims of "deceiving patients and putting their health at risk," as the safety, efficacy and quality of those copies are not verified by U.S. regulators. The move escalates the feud between Novo and Hims, which said on Saturday it will stop offering its new obesity pill copycat after facing scrutiny from federal regulators and legal threats from the Danish drugmaker. Hims had planned to offer the oral drug for as little as $49 for the first month, roughly $100 less than Novo's approved Wegovy pill. The lawsuit comes as Novo works to reclaim market share in the booming obesity drug market and fend off competition from both Eli Lilly and a wave of compounded alternatives. Those copycats have proliferated under a regulatory loophole that allows companies like Hims to sell compounded versions of patent-protected drugs when branded treatments are in short supply. Semaglutide — the active ingredient in Novo's pill and its blockbuster injections — is no longer in shortage in the U.S., thanks to the company's efforts to ramp up manufacturing capacity. There are no shortages reported for the Wegovy pill, which has had an explosive launch since it entered the U.S. market in early January. Even so, Novo estimated in January that as many as 1.5 million Americans are using compounded GLP-1 drugs. Hims has said its compounded pill and other GLP-1 products contain semagl...

Monty Rakusen/DigitalVision via Getty Images Listen below or on the go via Apple Podcasts and Spotify Biggest stock movers Monday: SOFI, HIMS, and more. (00:15) Samsung ( SSNLF ) shares jump on report of imminent HBM4 mass production. (01:03) China's Luckin Coffee ( LKNCY ) targets Starbucks ’ ( SBUX ) premium market with first flagship store. (01:38) This is an abridged transcript. Hims & Hers Health ( HIMS ) is on our biggest movers list ahead of market opening. HIMS -15% in premarket action. We told you Sunday on Wall Street Brunch that HIMS said it will stop offering a compounded, copycat version of Novo Nordisk’s Wegovy (semaglutide) pill, following pressure from Novo and heightened FDA scrutiny. In a post on X, the company said it decided to discontinue the treatment after “constructive conversations” with industry stakeholders. The move comes after the commissioner of the FDA said regulators would target companies producing mass-market copycat drugs which raises broader concerns around compounded GLP-1 offerings. Novo Nordisk is up 7% percent in premarket action following the announcement. Samsung Electronics' ( SSNLF ) shares rose as much as 6.4% on Monday after a report that the company will soon begin mass production of HBM4 memory chips. The chips are used as part of the buildout for artificial intelligence infrastructure. A news outlet reported that Samsung plans to ship the semiconductors to Nvidia ( NVDA ) as early as the third week of February. The report said, citing unnamed industry sources that the HBM chips will be used to power Nvidia's upcoming Vera Rubin AI accelerators. Luckin Coffee ( LKNCY ) continues to take aim at Starbucks ( SBUX ). The coffee chain announced the official inauguration of its 30,000th store on Sunday. It's the first Origin Flagship, in Shenzhen. China’s Luckin Coffee is targeting Starbucks’ high-end roastery market with the new flagship in the south, marking its first major shift from budget stores that once helped it surp...

This is part of a series on the new realities of finance. While banks tout efficiency gains they’ve both achieved and project from AI, fears persist that the technology could hollow out entry-level roles . What is clear is that employers are onboarding classes of financial analysts for whom using AI models is second nature. It’s possible their fluency, and their openness to experimenting with evolving tools, may be giving younger workers a leg up on their elders. We talked to junior bankers about what their early career looks like as AI creeps in. The Engineer Hailey Mullen, 24 Hailey Mullen has always used technology to make sense of the world. At Dartmouth College, she studied engineering and got a master’s degree in operations research and analytics, working with professors who embraced AI as a tool of the future, with models performing quantum-physics calculations and multivariable calculus. “I got to approach AI with a lot of curiosity and creativity in a very unstructured, unregulated environment,” she says. After completing two summer internships with Morgan Stanley , Mullen started as a full-time analyst at the bank this past July, and her background has come in handy. Members of her team, which works on deals related to media and digital infrastructure, regularly ask her for assistance with AI-related tasks such as structuring effective prompts. “We have hundreds upon hundreds of deal folders, with decades of models and analysis and PowerPoints, and truly everything you do in banking could be aided by finding precedent analysis,” Mullen says of the comparison between a company’s metrics and those of peers in prior deals. “If you have a good precedent, your life becomes much easier.” For a recent deal with a data-center operator, she had little background information to work with and two related financial models that were “extremely complex and dense.” One spreadsheet had 40-plus tabs and thousands of rows of data, but AI helped her analyze, synthesize and c...

Erling Haaland says Manchester City’s dramatic 2-1 win at Liverpool on Sunday meant more than just the points and represented a statement from the club in terms of the Premier League title race. City had won only once at Anfield under Pep Guardiola – during the 2020-21 fan-free Covid season – and went there on a run of one victory in six in the league which had allowed Arsenal to pull clear at the top. City were nine points behind in second place at kick-off and their hopes looked set to evaporate as they trailed to Dominic Szoboszlai’s sensational 74th-minute free-kick. But Bernardo Silva got City back into it with six minutes of normal time to play before Haaland scored what proved to be the winner from the penalty spot in the third minute of stoppage time. The City goalkeeper, Gianluigi Donnarumma, would deny Alexis Mac Allister with a fabulous save in the 99th minute. And there was still time for the City substitute Rayan Cherki to have a goal disallowed from the halfway line and Szoboszlai to be sent off. When it was over, with the City fans ecstatic, it was difficult not to see it as a mood-changer, a potential turning point. Haaland was asked whether the win was bigger than just the three points. “It’s three points, it’s three points, it’s three points, simple as that, no matter who you play … if it is Tottenham or whatever,” Haaland said. “But I know what you mean. And yes, definitely, it’s true.” Was it a statement result? “Of course,” Haaland replied. “And look at the emotions with the fans in the end. It was amazing. They deserve it after supporting us week in, week out. Yeah, they definitely deserve to win at Anfield.” Haaland was also asked whether City had sent a message to Arsenal, who are next in action at Brentford on Thursday night. City play 24 hours earlier at home to Fulham. “No, not really,” Haaland said. “But it sends a good statement to our fans. “We’ve seen before that the title race is not over until it’s over. I need to recover, eat some g...

The world’s largest pencil maker has accused the Costa Rican government of misusing an old factory that the German manufacturer donated for humanitarian purposes – by detaining asylum seekers there who were deported from the US by the Trump administration last year. Faber-Castell produces more than 2bn wooden pencils a year worldwide and used to have a factory in the southern part of Costa Rica, bordering Panama and supplied by trees cultivated in the region. But it closed it down in 2013 because of adverse economic factors, and in 2018 the facility was gifted to Costa Rica by Faber-Castell. In a contract between the company and the ministry of public security, shared with the Guardian, Faber-Castell specified that the premises would be used as a shelter to offer refuge and humanitarian assistance for people migrating through the region. However, last year it appears conditions at the facility changed and people were locked up, with Faber-Castell unaware of this until contacted by the Guardian last month. The German pencil maker’s donation of the buildings in 2018 was in response to an increase in Nicaraguans fleeing across the border to Costa Rica amid a violent crackdown on protesters by Nicaragua’s government. The company said in the contract that the property was to be used to “house a shelter for the care of migrants … without the possibility of changing the purpose of the property”. There are no reports that Nicaraguans or others accommodated at the disused factory were kept in detention – until Costa Rica accepted 200 deportees from the US and locked them up at the former factory, since named Centro de Atención Temporal para Migrantes, or Catem. When the Guardian approached Faber-Castell for comment, the company said it had not realized anyone had been detained at Catem. “We agreed and stipulated in the contract that the building was to be transformed into a humanitarian refugee center, and under no circumstances was it agreed to be used as a prison,” represe...

DKosig/iStock via Getty Images For nearly two years, markets were driven by the same speculative narrative that “ this time is different.” Bitcoin, precious metals, and AI-linked equities rose not only because of robust fundamentals but also because investors clung to powerful narratives about inflation, disruption, and monetary collapse. Those speculative narratives are not only seductive but also contribute to investment behaviors that obscure reality. Bitcoin was cast as “digital gold,” a hedge against a largely false tale of a weakening dollar and fiscal instability . Gold and silver were likewise falsely elevated as defensive stores of value in a monetary regime supposedly at risk of losing purchasing power . AI stocks became shorthand for a new productivity supercycle where profits would follow indefinitely rising valuations . These speculative narratives are fine and drive bull markets in the near term. As John Maynard Keynes once quipped: “Markets can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent ,” and those narratives are potent as they frame expectations and justify positions. However, these speculative narratives have little to do with economic or fundamental realities that will ultimately drive outcomes. In markets, stories don’t replace valuation. As I noted previously, when “valuation metrics are excessive… it is a better measure of investor psychology than fundamentals.” That means price becomes more about sentiment than business results, and we see that in the relationship between consumer sentiment about stock prices over the next 12 months and valuations. “This broad wave of bullish behavior isn’t isolated to sentiment surveys. Positioning data, equity fund inflows, and trading behavior confirm the lack of bears in the market. Markets are rising not because of strong earnings or economic acceleration, but because of optimism about future prices. In this environment, price momentum drives buying, not fundamentals. We see that in the overlay ...

A denser-than-usual jobs report is expected to show just how much the US labor market has slowed in recent years — or perhaps that it wasn’t growing at all. In addition to the usual monthly payrolls and unemployment data, the January jobs report, due Wednesday , also includes highly anticipated revisions to payrolls. Those are expected to substantially mark down the pace of hiring, after a preliminary estimate suggested a record downward adjustment of 911,000 in the year through March 2025. “The annual benchmark revisions are going to be more consequential than normal this year,” said Scott Anderson , chief US economist at BMO Capital Markets. “Right now the labor market does appear to be on a knife’s edge between net job growth and maybe job loss.” The report, which is produced by the Bureau of Labor Statistics , was originally scheduled for Feb. 6 but was delayed by the partial government shutdown . With the release of each January employment report, BLS benchmarks payrolls to a more accurate but less timely series called the Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages. That data is based on state unemployment insurance tax records and covers most US jobs. In addition to the newly adjusted employment level for March 2025, BLS will release revised monthly payroll changes throughout last year. Those revisions also reflect the agency’s update to its model that accounts for business openings and closures as well as new seasonal adjustment factors. The labor market was already understood to be gradually weakening last year, through what economists largely dubbed a “low-hire, low-fire” environment. But the revisions may indicate an even sharper slowdown in hiring than previously thought. That could change how the Federal Reserve views the labor market, which Chair Jerome Powell recently described as one that is showing signs of stabilization . He’s said that job growth has probably been overstated, but that the economy is in a solid enough position for officials to hold in...

The chemical giant Corteva will stop producing Enlist Duo, a herbicide considered to be among the most dangerous still used in the US by environmentalists because it contains a mix of Agent Orange and glyphosate, which have both been linked to cancer and widespread ecological damage. The US military deployed Agent Orange, a chemical weapon, to destroy vegetation during the Vietnam war, causing serious health problems among soldiers and Vietnamese residents. Glyphosate, meanwhile, is a highly controversial and toxic herbicide ingredient that has prompted similar litigation. Both are banned or severely restricted in many industrialized countries. Despite the risks of combining the substances, the US Environmental Protection Agency has twice approved it for use on food crops. The compound is annually spread on around 4.5m acres of fields in which corn, soybeans and genetically engineered cotton are grown. The move will bring to an end a decade of litigation and public pressure campaigns to ban Enlist Duo, and advocates are “celebrating it as a win”, said Kristina Sinclair, a staff attorney with the Center for Food Safety (CFS) non-profit, which is a lead plaintiff in the lawsuit. “After over a decade of legal battles, rather than try to rebut our arguments in court, the manufacturer pulled Enlist Duo from the market,” Sinclair said. “Our food system never should have been doused in this toxic cocktail, and now never will be again.” Corteva did not immediately respond to a request for comment, and Sinclair said it was unclear why the company decided to pull Enlist Duo. Corteva reported selling more than $1bn in Enlist products in 2022. The Agent Orange chemical 2,4-D will still be used in Enlist One, and a lawsuit that asks a judge to invalidate its approval will continue. 2,4-D works by attacking the roots and leaves of weeds and causing them to produce unwanted cells, not unlike inducing cancer, to kill or hobble them. The substance is considered a “possible” carcinog...

As rumors swirl about a SpaceX IPO, Elon Musk's rocket ship company makes an even bigger move. One of the biggest financial storylines so far in 2026 revolves around whether or not SpaceX will go public. While some headlines suggest Elon Musk's space exploration company has been meeting with investment banks to talk about an initial public offering (IPO), a new chapter is swiftly being written as that narrative unfolds. On Feb. 2, Musk announced a merger of SpaceX and his artificial intelligence (AI) start-up, xAI, and valued the company at $1.25 trillion. The combination of these two assets makes a potential SpaceX IPO all the more interesting. Nevertheless, I find these talking points to be totally distracting. Below, I'll explain why merging xAI and SpaceX makes strategic sense. But more importantly, I'll reveal my top stock pick at the intersection of AI and space exploration. Spoiler alert: It has nothing to do with Musk. Does the SpaceX merger with xAI make sense? On the surface, merging an AI start-up with a rocket ship company looks silly. When it comes to Musk, however, there are always several layers to the equation. Throughout his tenure as CEO of Tesla, Musk has often hinted at a desire to merge SpaceX with the electric vehicle (EV) company. Notably, Tesla recently received shareholder approval to make a $2 billion investment in xAI. Merging xAI with SpaceX, as well as Tesla's decision to make a strategic investment in xAI, comes down to one thing: Musk's obsession with control. From a governance perspective, combining xAI with SpaceX provides Musk with far more oversight of his two prized possessions. From a technological standpoint, xAI and SpaceX can certainly complement one another. Space systems generate large volumes of critical information. Take Starlink as an example: Its network collects data across various geographies, weather patterns, and user habits, and creates satellite and orbital imagery. Thanks to AI, space infrastructure can use this i...
