摘要 2025年11月,Anthropic发布Claude Opus4.5模型,模型发布后,我们观察到AWS(Amazon)的云服务收入在12月出现了显著增长,我们推测Anthropic主要使用AWS Bedrock渠道,Opus的高消耗或直接拉动了AWS的营收。Opus4.5被一线开发者评价为让"Agent"从“超级实习生”变成了“资深架构师”的拐点,真正用目标驱动替代指令驱动,使用场景全面迈向“任务执行与结果交付”。在底层模型的技术进化下,我们观察到2026年以来,Agent现象级产品不断出圈: ① Claude Cowork:正在把“AI代码执行能力”从开发者拓展到普通办公用户,主打办公自动化。围绕本地文件与企业工具提升工作流的自动化水平,高频场景包括文件整理、会议/资料汇总、Excel与文档自动生成、浏览器协同检索; ② OpenClaw:开源、本地优先、可执行任务的AI智能体网关,定位为24/7全职数字员工,用户相当与获得随时随地托管电脑工作的员工。 ③ Moltbook:全球首个AI专属Reddit式社交平台,人类只能浏览,无法参与任何互动。 我们认为2026年Agent爆发将推动CPU需求显著提升:CPU从辅助单元升级为调度中枢与执行载体,负载由工具执行、编排调度、沙箱隔离、高并发与长任务四类开销驱动。促使服务器CPU配置自1:32(如阿里云智算集群、AWS Trainium集群等)向1:4(如NVIDIA DGX、阿里云ECS实例)演进,新代产品甚至普遍达到1:2(如NVIDIA NVL72)。CPU正沿着“通过先进制程实现在更高核心密度下的功耗可控”这一主线发展,所需CPU总体呈“超多核+低功耗/高制程+大内存带宽/容量+强IO/虚拟化+更大共享缓存”特征。 过去20年摩尔定律下,CPU名义价格基本没涨但性能暴涨。目前后摩尔时代,CPU需求增长叠加贵金属原材料涨价、先进制程产能稀缺,CPU开启涨价周期,目前26年2月已涨10%、我们预计涨价趋势可持续。 本篇报告还分析了全球CPU市场份额与生态阵营:垄断与头部效益明显。根据IDC数据我们预计2026年英特尔在服务器CPU市场份额预计为55%左右,AMD预计为40%。X86(英特尔/AMD阵营)凭借稳定性和成熟的软件生态占据主流,尤其在服务器市场兼容性突出。ARM(英伟达、苹果、高通阵营)在能效和特定...

Makhbubakhon Ismatova/iStock via Getty Images It may seem hard to find value stocks when the Dow Jones Industrial Average ( DJI ) just surpassed the key psychological level of 50,000. While that may appear to be the case to the untrained eye, I continue to view it as a market for stocks rather than the stock market, with plenty of opportunities in bull and bear markets alike. This brings me to Skyworks Solutions ( SWKS ), which I last covered back in July 2023, highlighting its strong positioning as a supplier for Apple ( AAPL ) along with its robust cash flow generation. The past year hasn’t been kind to SWKS due to volatility in demand and competition, which has pressured revenue and margins, as shown below. YCharts However, the current price already reflects recent headwinds. At $62.10, SWKS trades in the bottom half of its 52-week range with a 13.3 forward P/E and a 4.6% dividend yield, as shown below. SWKS Stock 1-Yr Trend (Seeking Alpha) In this article, I revisit SWKS, including recent business results , and discuss why now may be an opportune time to pick up this quality semiconductor player while it’s undervalued, so let’s dig in! Why SWKS? Skyworks Solutions is a global designer and manufacturer of high-performance analog and mixed-signal semiconductors. SWKS’ chips enable wireless connectivity and advanced signal processing across mobile and diversified technology markets. Its products are foundational components in smartphones, broadband infrastructure, automotive systems, IoT devices, and emerging AI-enabled edge applications. SWKS delivered solid results in Q1 2026 (ended January 2, 2026) that exceeded the high end of guidance, with revenue coming in at $1.04 billion (3.1% YoY decline) and adjusted EPS of $1.54 (3.8% YoY decline). Adjusted gross margin improved slightly by 10 basis points YoY to 46.6%, and SWKS generated $339 million in free flow, of which $106 million was paid out through dividends. The Mobile segment remains the primary revenue drive...

Peter Mandelson’s personal disgrace is deep and unique, and may yet bring down a prime minister – but by laying bare the dark allure of the “filthy rich”, it also underlines the need for tougher constraints on money in politics. It is hard to know what system or process could have shielded sensitive government decisions from the risk that a senior cabinet minister might nonchalantly pass on the details to a friend, the convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. But Epstein’s efforts to influence government policy – working to water down Alistair Darling’s bonus tax at a time when the banks had crashed the British economy, for example – underline the powerful forces with which politicians are faced. One bulwark against this is the expectation that most will display a probity and strength of character Mandelson clearly lacked. The Bank of England governor, Andrew Bailey, spoke for many on Thursday when he unfavourably compared the disgraced Mandelson with the late Alistair Darling. Describing the former chancellor as having “a thorough sense of honesty and decency”, Bailey appeared too emotional to finish the sentence that began: “To see those pictures of Peter Mandelson with Alistair Darling …” but all of us present at the press conference took the point. Unfortunately, when it comes to money and politics – whether post-parliamentary employment, lobbying or party funding – the revelations are a reminder that it is unwise to take honesty and decency as a given. Keir Starmer is reportedly furious with Mandelson, but the decision to appoint him was consistent with his administration’s tendency to blur the lines between business and politics. From allowing the Labour donor Waheed Alli a pass to No10, to hiring senior aides who continued to hold shares in lobbying companies, Starmer’s preference for competence over ideology sometimes appears to have blinded him to potential conflicts of interest. As Gordon Brown pointed out in the Guardian this weekend, it now behoves the pr...

All prices are subject to change, and this article only reflects the prices available at time of publication. Last summer GEEKOM released a pair of mini PCs with the latest Intel and AMD processors: the GEEKOM IT15 with an Intel Core Ultra 9 285H Arrow Lake processor and the GEEKOM A9 Max with an AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 Strix Point processor. When I reviewed the Intel model, I noted that the mini PC’s cooling system wasn’t up to the task of allowing the powerful processor to live up to its potential, so potential customers might be better off with the AMD version. Now that I’ve had a chance to test the GEEKOM A9 Max, it’s time to decide whether it really does offer better value. The GEEKOM A9 Max is available from the GEEKOM store for $1299, but customers who place an order before February 9th can use the coupon 16A9M to bring the price down to $1091. It’s also available from Amazon for $1099 at time of publication. Those prices are for a model with a Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 processor, 32GB of RAM, and a 2TB SSD. GEEKOM provided Liliputing with a demo unit for free, with no requirement that the mini PC be returned upon completion of the review. This review is not sponsored by GEEKOM, and the company did not modify or approve the content of this article in any way. Overview and Design The GEEKOM A9 Max has a 12-core 24-thread AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 Strix processor with a maximum boost clock of up to 5.1 GHz. It also includes the AMD Radeon 890M iGPU which has 16 graphic cores with a frequency up to 2.9 GHz. There’s also an NPU capable of delivering up to 50 TOPS of hardware-accelerated AI performance, allowing the processor to provide up to 80 TOPS when using the NPU, GPU, and CPU together. The mini PC uses DDR5 memory running at 5600 MT/s and supports up to 128...

GMVozd/E+ via Getty Images Introduction Last time I covered Ingredion ( INGR ), I reiterated their Buy rating, backed by their strong financial health, with the cost savings program accelerating and strong shareholder returns despite going through an investing cycle. With a better-than-expected free cash flow in 2025 and the company advancing well on all their strategic pillars, I continue rating them a Buy, with potential to benefit from an improving environment, although I will remain cautious about MAHA policies and long-term consumer risks. Internal Developments Ingredion IR Ingredion’s Q4 missed the market’s expectations , with a slight miss on both EPS and revenue, with 4% net sales volume growth in Texture & Healthful Solutions, a 3% decline in Food & Industrial Ingredients in LATAM, and a 7% decrease in that segment's North American operations. Ingredion IR They advanced on all strategic pillars, with a focus on protein and clean-label ingredients that’s gaining momentum, helping customers adapt to the new environment (e.g., cocoa reduction due to tariffs or the low/no-sugar alternatives) while also finishing their Cost2Compete cost savings program, achieving $59 million in run-rate savings and expecting “very little” impact from the new tariffs since their products are generally bought and sold locally (more than 80% of production, as they say ). This transformation is also delivering greater profitability, with the gross margins reaching 25.3% in 2025 compared to 18.8% in 2022. Ingredion IR In 2025, INGR reported a significantly lower cash flow from operations as a result of a negative working capital change, with the free cash flow reaching $511 million (above the management’s $375 million to $500 million guidance) compared to $1.14 billion, while the CAPEX grew to $433 million compared to $295 million in 2024. This covers their $211 million in dividends and $224 million worth of buybacks completed in 2025, for a combined yield of ~5.75%, which is not bad...

This is spot on. It’s impossible to quantify just how big an impact Jota’s death must have had on the players and staff. An email from Andy Flintoff: “One big difference between last year’s champions and this year’s Liverpool team that you’ve elided is the unfortunate loss of Diogo Jota, which has obviously affected the club both tactically and mentally. They haven’t really replaced that sort of player who could always find space whether coming in from the flanks or from deep.” Two very strong XIs, and no real surprises. But look at the difference in quality and experience between the two benches. Liverpool’s decline from Premier League champions to Premier League also rans is not due to any one problem. Injuries have played their part, new signings have taken their time to bed in, Mo Salah playing well within himself, plus Arne Slot has struggled to evolve this team with the same cohesion. The Dutchman admitted on Friday that Liverpool’s issues were no more apparent than in the reverse fixture of this one – a 3-0 defeat to City in November at the Etihad – and said the “the biggest difference between this season and last season … was “how much intensity [of lack thereof] we had in our pressing as a team”. There are lots of other metrics to point to: goalkeeper Alisson is 21st amongst the 28 goalkeepers used across the Premier League for save percentage. Only four teams have conceded more goals from set pieces than the Reds. Be a problem tactically, or with fitness or motivation, Liverpool have often not been up to their high standards. That said, Liverpool have been excellent in their last two matches, beating Qarabag 6-0 and Newcastle 4-1. Manchester City, though, are a different proposition, and need to win here to stay in the title race. City hate it at Anfield, winning just one of their past 22 visits (and losing 14) and any dropped points here will surely hand Arsenal the title. If City do win, it will be the club’s first league double over Liverpool since 1936...

Key Points Tariffs, as well as the removal of EV incentives, are weighing on the automotive industry. GM was able to offset almost 40% of its tariff costs in 2025. The key point for investors is that GM's current success is sustainable. 10 stocks we like better than General Motors › While the U.S. electric vehicle (EV) industry lost some steam and tariff complications made investors nervous, General Motors (NYSE: GM) managed to drive through the obstacle course of issues last year with ease. The company topped earnings estimates for the fourth quarter, reached its highest U.S. market share since 2015, increased its dividend 20% and authorized a new $6 billion share repurchase program -- not a bad day's work. GM's tariff and EV profitability problem isn't going away, however. Here's a closer look at how the automaker can mitigate some of the pressure for investors. Where to invest $1,000 right now? Our analyst team just revealed what they believe are the 10 best stocks to buy right now, when you join Stock Advisor. See the stocks » EV profitability pain Detroit auto rivals GM and Ford Motor Company (NYSE: F) both felt pain from EV profitability, changes to emissions regulations, and the removal of some EV incentives, and that caused decision makers to rethink production capacity and locations. Ford made big headlines with its decision to effectively discontinue the F-150 Lightning in its current form, among other adjustments, that culminated in a $19.5 billion special charge to pivot away from EVs in the near term. GM wasn't able to escape the EV pain either, as more than $7 billion in charges related to scaling back EV production hit the automaker's net income, driving a $3.3 billion loss during the fourth quarter. Special charges did not impact adjusted earnings, which are the figures Wall Street estimates. GM expects EV volume to most likely be down for the full year, but despite the market losing steam, the automaker is expecting to cut EV losses by $1 billion to...

Takashi Aoyama/Getty Images News Japan’s equity rally is expected to continue after Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi’s Liberal Democratic Party secured a strong showing in Sunday’s lower house election, while the yen and government bonds could come under renewed strain, Bloomberg News reported Sunday. Local media reported the LDP won a majority, with public broadcaster NHK projecting the ruling coalition could approach a two-thirds supermajority. The result was stronger than some investors had anticipated and is seen as clearing the way for Takaichi’s pro-spending agenda. Japanese shares have already been outperforming. The Topix closed at a record high on Friday and is up more than 8% this year, far ahead of gains in global developed-market equities, as investors price in higher fiscal spending and stronger growth. Currency and bond markets tell a different story. The yen weakened 1.6% last week to around 157 per dollar, edging closer to levels that previously prompted official intervention. Analysts said the election result removes uncertainty and could allow existing trends, including a weaker yen and higher bond yields, to reassert themselves. Equity investors are focusing on so-called “Takaichi trades,” with defense, nuclear energy, semiconductors and AI-related sectors seen as potential beneficiaries of increased public investment. A weaker yen could further support exporters, though it also raises costs for households. Japanese government bonds remain vulnerable. Many global investors entered the election underweight JGBs, particularly at longer maturities, citing fiscal concerns, tax-cut proposals and thin liquidity. While bonds steadied somewhat last week, strategists warned that political clarity could renew selling pressure. Some market participants note a possible counterpoint: a decisive win could give Takaichi more room to moderate stimulus plans and respond to bond market concerns. Still, interest-rate markets are increasingly pricing in tighter policy, ...
