Shopify (NASDAQ:SHOP) , an e-commerce platform for online stores, closed Wednesday at $118.71, down 6.70%. Shares sold off during the regular session after an initial spike on strong Q4 results, upbeat revenue guidance, and a new buyback. Investors are watching how AI-driven commerce initiatives support future growth and margins. Trading volume reached 52.3 million shares, about 450% above its three-month average of 9.5 million shares. Shopify IPO'd in 2015 and has grown 6,883% since going public. S&P 500 slipped 0.03% to 6,940, while the Nasdaq Composite fell 0.16% to 23,066. Fellow e-commerce platform, Wix.com, closed at $72.10, down 4.31%, as investors weigh AI competition and digital commerce growth expectations across the group. Shopify reported earnings on Wednesday morning, growing sales and free cash flow (FCF) by 30% and 26% in 2026, and easily beat Wall Street’s Q4 estimates. However, with the shares trading at 82 times FCF, Shopify was priced for near-perfect results, and guidance for roughly 32% sales growth in Q1 wasn’t an optimistic enough outlook. Continue reading

David Gyung Real estate services stocks experienced a significant sell-off on Wednesday as investors assessed the sector’s vulnerability to artificial intelligence disruption, triggering what analysts are calling an “AI scare trade.” Major industry players including CBRE Group ( CBRE ), Jones Lang LaSalle ( JLL ), and Zillow Group ( ZG ) were among those hit hardest. The dramatic selloff marked the biggest single-day decline for CBRE and Cushman & Wakefield ( CWK ) since the pandemic-driven market crash of 2020. The sell-off was triggered by growing concerns over AI applications that threaten to automate tasks across multiple industries, particularly following AI startup Anthropic’s ( ANTHRO ) recent release of tools aimed at automating work in areas ranging from legal services to financial research. According to Keefe, Bruyette & Woods analyst Jade Rahmani, investors are “rotating out of high-fee, labor-intensive business models viewed as potentially vulnerable to AI-driven disruption.” While some analysts view the selling as a knee-jerk reaction—with Barclays’ Brendan Lynch noting the drop seems “excessive given limited news flow today”—the following screen highlights stocks currently facing the most intense pressure from this rotation. In addition, Zillow ( Z ), the group’s second-biggest intraday loser, added pressure to the sector after reporting mixed fourth-quarter results on Tuesday. While the company’s Q4 revenue of $654M surpassed consensus and gained 18% year-over-year, its Q1 2026 adjusted EBITDA guidance of $160M to $175M fell short of the $182.7M Wall Street expected.

mohd izzuan Although Inspire Medical Systems' ( INSP ) Q4 2025 results beat on both lines, shares are down ~6% in after-hours trading Tuesday as the company revised and widened its 2026 revenue guidance. The maker of sleep apnea treatment implants now sees revenue this year of $950M-$1B. Consensus is $1B. Non-GAAP EPS is projected at $1.85-$2.35. Consensus is $1.67. Inspire attributed the revenue revision to coding uncertainty and moving the implant procedure to a different CPT code. In January, Inspire shares declined after the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services issued a correction that obstructive sleep apnea is not a covered indication under the vagus nerve stimulation National Coverage Determination.

Waymo, Alphabet Inc. ’s autonomous driving unit, will hit more than 1 million paid weekly robotaxi rides in the US by the end of this year, according to co-Chief Executive Officer Tekedra Mawakana . “This is an inflection point,” Mawakana said Wednesday during a Bloomberg Television interview. “In 2025, we quadrupled the number of trips that we are providing.” The startup plans to expand testing and launch new commercial services across 20 cities this year within the US and internationally. In some cases, Waymo can go from mapping a city to the start of paid rides in just a matter of months. In other cases, progress will be much slower, especially when a city or state lacks rules on robotaxis. Waymo began fully autonomous operations in Nashville earlier this week ahead of a planned commercial launch with Lyft Inc. later this year. It also expects to begin service later in 2026 in Washington, Detroit, Las Vegas, San Diego and Denver. Earlier this month, Waymo raised $16 billion at a $126 billion valuation. The round was led by new investors Sequoia Capital, DST Global and Dragoneer Investment Group. Parent Alphabet’s contribution wasn’t disclosed, but totaled $13 billion, Bloomberg reported. The backing reflects Waymo’s success in “demonstrating” the technology works, Mawakana said. “Consumers are adopting it, the safety case is being made, and it’s just a really exciting time to join the team.” Mawakana said the company is trying to become more cost-effective while expanding its robotaxi fleet. Waymo is the top provider of paid autonomous vehicle services in the US, with a pack of well-funded others chasing the market. It offers fully driverless, fare-charging rides in about half a dozen US cities through its app and in partnership with Uber Technologies Inc. The company currently provides about 400,000 paid rides per week across the six cities. Mawakana leads the business operations alongside co-CEO Dmitri Dolgov , who focuses largely on the company’s technology. T...

Watch: Bondi Explodes Over Epstein During Shouting Match With Massie And Top Dems The Trump admin couldn't hand Democrats a fatter pitch than how they've handled the Epstein release... On Wednesday, Attorney General Pam Bondi clashed repeatedly with Democrats during a tense House Judiciary Committee hearing , deflecting pointed questions about the Justice Department’s handling of the Epstein files before the session devolved into a shouting match with Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) over redactions, co-conspirators and DOJ accountability. The fireworks began when Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-NY) pressed Bondi on whether DOJ has indicted or is investigating any of Epstein’s alleged co-conspirators , citing what he called “concrete evidence of disgusting criminality” in recently released files. Bondi attempted to sidestep the question; when Nadler repeated it, she raised her voice and insisted she would “answer the question the way I want to answer the question,” talking over Nadler as colleagues tried to intercede. As the exchange escalated, Bondi pivoted away from Epstein entirely - invoking the Dow, S&P and Nasdaq and touting retirement accounts. Bondi: The DOW is over 50,000. That’s what we should be talking about. They just asked what does the DOW have to do with anything. ARE YOU KIDDING? pic.twitter.com/nl5ueU867x — Acyn (@Acyn) February 11, 2026 Democrats kept the pressure on. Rep. Ted Lieu (D-CA ) accused Bondi of lying under oath after she cited a July 2025 DOJ memo asserting there was no evidence warranting investigations of “uncharged third parties.” Lieu pointed to images of former Prince Andrew and then played a clip of Donald Trump with Epstein, asking whether there were underage girls present. Bondi responded by attacking Democrats and praising Trump, saying there was “no evidence that Donald Trump has committed a crime.” When Lieu cited an FBI tip and witness statement and urged DOJ to interview the witness, Bondi snapped, “Don’t you ever accuse me of a crime,” the...

When an actor like James Van Der Beek dies, the obvious thing would be to concentrate on their biggest role. In the case of Van Der Beek, that would be Dawson’s Creek, Kevin Williamson’s soapy drama that ran for six seasons across the millennium. And that would be perfectly justified, since in its time Dawson’s Creek was a genuine sensation. It might be hard to remember, since the show became the water that all teen drama swims in, but Dawson’s Creek had a rare knack for meeting its audience where it was. Shows that were aimed at similar demographics tended to either be too goofy or too moralising, but Dawson managed to find a rare sweet spot. It didn’t talk down to the teens who watched it; in fact, it made a point of making them emotionally self-aware and hyperliterate. If you watched it as a teen, you were watching the version of yourself that you most wanted to be. As the titular Dawson, Van Der Beek had arguably the trickiest role on the show. He was the audience surrogate. While Joshua Jackson’s Pacey got to be cool and funny and dangerous, Dawson was tasked with holding the moral centre. This was tricky because that can be an extremely boring note to play, and so it came to pass. After the show had been on air for a few seasons, viewers started to turn against the sheer wet blandness of the character. View image in fullscreen James Van Der Beek and Katie Holmes in Dawson’s Creek. Photograph: Globe Photos/Shutterstock For a lot of actors, this would have been a career-ender. A defining role as a nice guy sap is a straitjacket that few can escape from. But this is where James Van Der Beek got to stretch his muscles. As well as making his name, Dawson gave him something to push against. And this is something he did gloriously. While Dawson’s Creek was still on air, Van Der Beek began stretching the limits of his reputation. There was a cameo in Kevin Smith’s Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, where he got to play himself as Dawson, knowingly chewing the scenery thr...

Micron Technology (NASDAQ:MU), a memory and storage chip maker, closed Wednesday at $410.34, up 9.94%. The stock jumped after bullish analyst commentary on high‑bandwidth memory demand, an upgraded Street‑high price target, and strong recent results. Investors are watching Micron’s fiscal 2026 HBM ramp and AI‑driven earnings power. The company’s trading volume reached 47.4 million shares, which is 47% above compared with its three-month average of 32.2 million shares. Micron Technology went public in 1984 and has grown 29002% since its IPO. How the markets moved today The S&P 500 (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC) slipped 0.03% to 6,941, while the Nasdaq Composite (NASDAQINDEX: ^IXIC) fell 0.16% to 23,066. Among semiconductors, Western Digital (NASDAQ:WDC) closed at $273.74 (+4.26%) and Seagate Technology Plc (NASDAQ:STX) finished at $407.25 (+2.78%), as investors continue to favor storage names tied to AI infrastructure demand. What this means for investors Micron Technology shares climbed on Wednesday after bullish commentary on high-bandwidth memory demand reinforced the company’s role in AI infrastructure. Recent coverage noted that Micron has already sold out its fiscal 2026 HBM supply and expects the HBM market to expand from roughly $35 billion in 2025 to as much as $100 billion by 2028. That outlook strengthened the case for multi-year revenue visibility tied to AI server deployments. The move was boosted by an analyst upgrade that set a Street-high $600 price target, following strong fiscal first-quarter results marked by rising revenue and expanding margins. Despite substantial gains over the past year, some analysts believe Micron’s valuation does not yet reflect its AI-driven growth potential. The company is making significant long-term investments, including a $100 billion commitment to a New York megafab and additional projects in Singapore and Taiwan. Investors will continue to monitor whether Micron can convert sold-out HBM supply into sustained margin expansion as A...

It might seem like a good idea, but it could backfire. There's a reason Roth retirement plans have long been a popular choice among savers. Although you don't get a tax break on the money you contribute to a Roth IRA or 401(k), you get numerous benefits to make up for that. Roth retirement accounts offer tax-free investment gains and withdrawals. When you're living on a fixed income and are no longer working, not having to worry about losing a portion of your withdrawals to the IRS is huge. Plus, Roth IRAs and 401(k)s do not force savers to take required minimum distributions (RMDs). That gives you more flexibility with your money -- for yourself and in the context of estate planning. But the flexibility Roth retirement accounts offer is actually a mixed bag. In fact, Roth IRAs and 401(k)s are almost a little too flexible in one regard. For that reason, a Roth may not be the best option for you. There's too much temptation to touch the money When you save for retirement in a traditional IRA or 401(k), there's a big incentive not to take withdrawals ahead of your senior years. Removing funds before turning 59 1/2 generally subjects you to a 10% penalty. But Roth IRAs and 401(k)s work differently. With a Roth savings plan, you can withdraw money early without a penalty as long as you're tapping the principal portion of your account and leaving the gains portion alone. The logic is that since you didn't get a tax break on that money when it went into your Roth account, there's no issue with you taking it out. But that flexibility could become problematic if it tempts you to keep tapping your savings ahead of retirement. So if you don't trust yourself to leave your long-term savings alone, you may want to stick to a traditional retirement account, despite the many benefits Roth accounts offer. Let's say you manage to contribute $5,000 to a Roth IRA this year. But next year, you're hit with an unplanned $2,500 expense. If it's easy enough to take that money out of your r...

PhonlamaiPhoto Shares of QuantumScape ( QS ) were pinned down in Wednesday’s late trading, pressured by the company’s most recent quarterly results, which showed a modest beat on profit expectations but again showed no revenue generated from its core business. Moreover, the company expects to increase investment in scaling production of its solid-state battery using the Eagle Line but did not outline any revenue guidance for FY26 or new OEM partnerships, instead setting a vague set of “ambitious goals to bring our revolutionary technology to market.” QuantumScape ( QS ) also plans to increase capex in 2026 to between $40M and $60M versus $36.3M in 2025. By trimming its operating expenses by 14%, the company narrowed its loss per share to $0.17 from a loss of $0.22 per share, a penny better than expected. The company’s inaugural customer billings—a measure of future cash inflows and not a substitute for revenue—totaled $19.5M in 2025.
