Ackman's hedge fund Pershing Square bets on Meta, exits Hilton Reuters

By Svea Herbst-Bayliss NEW YORK, Feb 11 (Reuters) - Billionaire investor Bill Ackman told clients on Wednesday that his hedge fund bought ‌shares in Meta Platforms late last year, betting the technology giant ‌will benefit from artificial intelligence. Ackman and his investment team, who delivered a 21% return ​last year, also said the hedge fund, Pershing Square Capital Management, sold out of its investment in Hilton Worldwide Holdings. Pershing Square spent roughly 10% of the firm's capital, or about $2 billion, on the Meta investment, chief investment ‌officer Ryan Israel said ⁠on a call with clients. "We believe Meta’s current share price underappreciates the company’s long-term upside potential from AI and ⁠represents a deeply discounted valuation for one of the world’s greatest businesses," the team wrote in a presentation seen by Reuters. While Meta's stock price ​has slipped ​7.4% over the last 12 months, ​it has performed well for ‌Pershing Square. Since the inception of the Meta bet in November, the share price has increased 11% in 2025 and rose 3% in 2026 through February 9, the presentation said. Investors have expressed worry about how much Meta is spending on AI initiatives which has weighed on the stock, ‌the hedge fund acknowledged. But Ackman ​and his team believe AI will help ​with Meta's content recommendations and ​personalized ads and may unlock new engagement through AI ‌digital assistants or wearables. Ackman, who tends ​to make only ​a dozen bets at a time and established himself as one of Wall Street's most watched investors over the last decade, signaled ​his interest in big ‌tech months ago. Last year he made a new investment ​in Amazon and the firm previously invested in Alphabet. (Reporting by ​Svea Herbst-Bayliss; Editing by Chizu Nomiyama )

格隆汇2月12日｜知名科技记者古尔曼报道称，苹果(AAPL.O)公司筹划已久的Siri语音助手升级计划在近几周的测试中遭遇挫折，这可能会导致多项备受期待的功能推迟发布。据知情人士透露，苹果原计划在iOS 26.4（定于3月发布的操作系统更新）中加入这些新功能，但目前正考虑将其分散到未来的版本中。这意味着至少部分功能可能会推迟到5月发布的iOS 26.5，甚至推迟到9月发布的iOS 27。知情人士表示，测试发现了软件的新问题，导致了最近的延期。升级后的Siri将允许用户通过语音精确控制苹果及第三方应用程序。

sh22/iStock via Getty Images In my last coverage on Credo Technology Group Holding Ltd ( CRDO ), I initiated this stock with a buy after a record Q2 FY26 print validated the AI interconnect story. Since I wrote that piece back in December, fundamentals have improved faster than I expected. This week, the company issued a preliminary FQ3’26 revenue guide of $404–$408M vs. the prior $335–$345M range, alongside commentary pointing to more than 200% yoy growth in fiscal 2026. Like it or not, the core pillar of the bull case remains the AEC (Active Electrical Cables) ramp, which drove over 95% of the yoy increase in product sales revenue last quarter. I also see some optionality in memory interconnect (Weaver, slated for H2 2026), which could keep estimates moving higher if early demand signals show up. That said, there are a few factors that make me sweat. The current geographic mix (most revenue coming from Hong Kong) and Cayman Islands incorporation can limit the investor base. This means that the strong growth story of this stock may not find enough investors to bid up the price. In other words, the stock remains unloved for longer than one anticipates. On top of that, an industry shift toward optical networking could compress AEC growth and pricing power heading into 2027. Therefore, my buy rating has a very short timeframe of <12 months. Below, I explain why. The Bull Case Credo is about as close as one can get to a pure play picks and shovels AI stock. I already explained what the company does in my last coverage . If I were to summarize it in a few words, they sell high-speed copper and optical interconnects mainly to hyperscalers and neocloud companies. I say mainly because its largest customer last quarter accounted for a whopping 64% of total sales. According to the last 10-K , the top 10 customers in fiscal 2025 accounted for 90% of total revenue. This concentration is good and bad at the same time, depending on how bullish you are on the AI trade. As for me,...

Linbury theatre, London Glen Tetley’s landmark 1962 ballet, set to Schoenberg’s atonal score, is stark, strange and psychologically charged Sometimes the revival of an old work can make it, and us, feel revitalised: if it speaks to the present, for example, or refreshes our sensibilities, or just because its artfulness endures. Other times it stays in the past, like a historical curiosity, a museum piece, even a relic. Glen Tetley’s 1962 Pierrot Lunaire, a pivot point in dance history , is an odd conjunction of these disparate aspects. Drawing from commedia dell’arte iconography, it tells the stylised story of moonstruck innocent Pierrot (Marcelino Sambé), the awakening of his desire through an encounter with many-faced Columbine (Mayara Magri), and the intervention of the dominant, manipulative Brighella (Matthew Ball). The set is sparse – just a scaffold, centre stage – and the dance style is a bold, efficient alloy of the long, lean lines of classical ballet with the gravitational pull, tensed angles and visceral gesticulations of Martha Graham .

Investors seeking protection from market losses have piled into buffer exchange-traded funds — and that demand is expected to continue. The products, also known as defined-outcome ETFs, use options contracts to provide some buffer against market losses. However, they come at a cost: The average fee in 2025 was 75 basis points annually, according to Morningstar. Still, research and consulting firm Cerulli Associates predicted in November that the ETFs will grow at a 29% to 35% five-year compound annual growth rate. A more optimistic scenario anticipates the funds more than quadruple over a five-year period, reaching more than $334 billion assets under management by 2030. There was $78 billion in assets across 420 defined-income ETFs at the end of 2025, said Zachary Evens, an analyst of passive strategies at Morningstar. That's up from the $2 billion in assets seen in 2020. "Investors and especially advisors for their more risk averse clients have been drawn to the explicit outcomes that these products can provide," he said. "The vast array of options allows them to tailor their clients risk profile pretty finely to one of these products." The funds have defined outcomes that are set at the beginning of the period and only apply at the end of the outcome period. For example, a January series ETF may start on Jan. 1 and end Dec. 31 each successive year. The ETFs use option contracts to shield investors from a set percentage of losses on an underlying index, typically the S & P 500 . The loss protection varies across products. For instance, an ETF can buffer against the first 10% of an index's loss, but also cap returns past a certain point, such as 15%. For instance, iShares Large Cap 10% Target Buffer Dec ETF has a starting cap of 16.15%. It has a net expense ratio of 0.50%.

Public Trust In US Government Nears Historic Lows The United States has fallen to its lowest-ever rank in Transparency International's Corruption Perception Index (CPI), a leading global index that measures perception of corruption in the public sector among independent experts and business people. In 2025, the U.S. fell down one spot to 29th place (out of 182) with a score of 64/100 on a 0 to 100 scale, where 0 means highly corrupt and 100 completely clean. This ranking puts the country on the same level as the Bahamas, and below Uruguay (17th place), Bhutan (18th) and the United Arab Emirates (21st). The United States had been on a slow decline in the index since 2017, when the country scored 75/100. Several factors are blamed for the U.S.' poor score, including measures put in place last year by the Trump administration that have severely hindered the federal government's ability to fight public corruption, such as pausing investigations into corporate foreign bribery, weakening institutions or curtailing enforcement of a foreign agent registration law. In a statement published yesterday, Transparency International wrote: "Our data show that democracies, typically stronger on anti-corruption than autocracies or flawed democracies, are experiencing a worrying decline in performance. This trend spans countries such as the United States (64), Canada (75) and New Zealand (81), to various parts of Europe, like the United Kingdom (70), France (66) and Sweden (80). Another concerning pattern is increasing restrictions by many states on freedoms of expression, association and assembly." On the United States, the anti-curruption coalition added: "Although 2025 developments are not yet fully reflected, actions targeting independent voices and undermining judicial independence raise serious concerns. Beyond the CPI findings, the temporary freeze and weakening of enforcement of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act signal tolerance for corrupt business practices, while cuts to U...

This AI Defense Stock Is One That Wall Street Can't Stop Buying Nasdaq

When enterprises fine-tune LLMs for new tasks, they risk breaking everything the models already know. This forces companies to maintain separate models for every skill. Researchers at MIT, the Improbable AI Lab and ETH Zurich have developed a new technique that enables large language models to learn new skills and knowledge without forgetting their past capabilities. Their technique, called self-distillation fine-tuning (SDFT), allows models to learn directly from demonstrations and their own experiments by leveraging the inherent in-context learning abilities of modern LLMs. Experiments show that SDFT consistently outperforms traditional supervised fine-tuning (SFT) while addressing the limitations of reinforcement learning algorithms. For enterprise applications, the method enables a single model to accumulate multiple skills over time without suffering from performance regression on earlier tasks. This offers a potential pathway for building AI agents that can adapt to dynamic business environments, gathering new proprietary knowledge and skills as needed without requiring expensive retraining cycles or losing their general reasoning abilities. The challenge of continual learning Once an LLM is trained and deployed, it remains static. It does not update its parameters to acquire new skills, internalize new knowledge, or improve from experience. To build truly adaptive AI, the industry needs to solve " continual learning ," allowing systems to accumulate knowledge much like humans do throughout their careers. The most effective way for models to learn is through "on-policy learning.” In this approach, the model learns from data it generates itself allowing it to correct its own errors and reasoning processes. This stands in contrast to learning by simply mimicking static datasets. Without on-policy learning, models are prone to " catastrophic forgetting ," a phenomenon where learning a new task causes the model to lose its past knowledge and ability to perform pre...

In the enterprise data and AI analytics space, Palantir Technologies Inc. PLTR stands out from peers, such as Snowflake Inc. SNOW and C3.ai, Inc. AI, because of its highly scalable, artificial intelligence (AI)-driven platform, robust revenues and profit margins, and reliable cash flows. This positions the AI-focused defense stock as a compelling buy. Let’s see in detail – Palantir’s AIP Drives Explosive Growth and Profit Momentum Palantir’s Artificial Intelligence Platform (“AIP”) enables organizations to seamlessly integrate and deploy AI and large language models across highly complex data infrastructures. Consequently, AIP has gained immense popularity among both U.S. commercial clients and the government. Strong demand for AIP helped Palantir’s fourth-quarter 2025 revenues of the U.S. commercial client segment to hit $507 million, up 137% year over year and 28% quarter over quarter, according to investors.palantir.com. In the same period, revenues for the government segment soared 66% year over year and 17% sequentially to $570 million. The growing adoption of AIP has led Palantir to forecast full-year 2026 revenues of $7.182-$7.198 billion, more than double the $3.320 billion reported in 2025. Growth momentum also appears sustainable, as the remaining deal value of U.S. commercial reached $4.38 billion in the fourth quarter of 2025, up 145% year over year and 21% sequentially. Palantir projects steady improvement in its GAAP operating income and net income across every quarter of 2026. With a Rule of 40 score of 127%, well above the 40% benchmark, the company demonstrates a highly scalable business model that supports its growth outlook. Palantir also has a strong competitive moat. Its two flagship platforms, Gotham and Foundry, don’t face meaningful competition, which underpins predictable cash flows over the long run.

US President Donald Trump held talks with Benjamin Netanyahu on Wednesday to discuss renewed US nuclear talks with Iran, and said he told the Israeli prime minister that negotiations with Tehran would continue to see if a deal could be reached. Netanyahu had been expected to push for Trump to ‌widen talks with Iran beyond its nuclear programme to include limits on Tehran’s missile arsenal and other security threats. In their seventh meeting since Trump returned to office last year, Netanyahu – whose visit was more muted than usual and closed to the press – was looking to influence the next round of US discussions with Iran following nuclear negotiations held in Oman last Friday. The two leaders met for nearly three hours. Advertisement Trump has threatened strikes on Iran if no agreement ⁠is reached, while Tehran has vowed to retaliate, stoking fears of a wider war. He has repeatedly voiced support for a secure ‌Israel, a long-standing US ally and arch-foe of Iran. In media interviews on Tuesday, Trump reiterated his warning, saying that while he believes Iran wants a deal, he would do “something very tough” if it ‌refused. A person wearing a mask depicting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu takes part in a protest in Washington on Wednesday. Photo: Reuters “There was nothing definitive reached other than I insisted that negotiations with Iran continue to see whether ⁠or not a Deal can be ⁠consummated,” Trump said in a social media post after the meeting with Netanyahu. “If it can, I let the Prime Minister know that will be a preference.”

Jacob Wackerhausen/iStock via Getty Images Total spending in the U.S. video game industry is expected to see a 3% rise in 2026 to $62.8B, according to the latest projections published by Circana on Wednesday. The report said total spending on video games, content, and hardware this year is going to shatter the current all-time high of $61.7B set in 2021. "This growth is expected to be fueled by the second year of Nintendo Switch 2, unprecedented anticipation for Grand Theft Auto VI, and continued strength in subscription‑based content," said Circana's Mat Piscatella, the video game industry advisor at the research firm. Piscatella noted that Take Two's ( TTWO ) GTA VI holds "the highest purchase intent" ever recorded in the research firm's tracking history and could boost hardware, accessories, and subscription demand this year. Assuming tariffs or other factors that raise costs, Circana estimates about 38% of consumers would purchase fewer full-price games at launch, about 34% would wait longer for video games to be on sale, and 27% would spend more time playing free-to-play games. On hardware, Piscatella warned that the segment is expected to face headwinds this year as surging costs for RAM, GPUs, CPUs, and storage—driven by AI data center demand—could limit hardware availability and also raise their prices.

Without a doubt, one of the hottest new startup accelerators in tech right now is Andreessen Horowitz’s Speedrun program. Launched in 2023, the accelerator has an acceptance rate of less than 1%. In a January blog post, the program said that over 19,000 startups pitched and fewer than 0.4% were accepted into the latest cohort. The program used to focus on gaming startups, then expanded into entertainment and media, and is now a “horizontal program,” Joshua Lu, the program’s general manager and a partner at a16z, told TechCrunch. Today, founders of any type of startup can apply, and the program runs for about 12 weeks in San Francisco. It once had a program in Los Angeles, but Lu said the focus will be on SF from now on. There are two cohorts a year, and around 50 to 70 startups are accepted into each. The program invests up to $1 million into each company, though the downside is that it’s a bit pricey. It typically invests $500,000 up front in exchange for 10% of the startup’s company via a SAFE note, and another $500,000 if the next round is raised within 18 months, at whatever terms agreed to by the other investors. In comparison, Y Combinator typically takes 7% of the company for $500,000. Speedrun said its program is more “equity expensive” because of what it offers founders. It provides them with access to a16z’s advisory and business networks that assist with tasks like go-to-market, brand development, media strategy, and talent sourcing. Plus it offers the startups perks like $5 million in credits to vendors such as AWS, OpenAI, Nvidia, and Deel. Given the high interest, and low acceptance rate, TechCrunch spoke to Lu for some tips on how startups can best stand out. The latest cohort began in January and will end in April with a Demo Day. Applications for the next cohort open in April, though it looks at off-season applications year-round, Lu said. Focus on the founding team Speedrun focuses on early-stage startups. Because of this, they really examine who i...
