Stock rebounds after a 20% decline following its results last Thursday. In this photo illustration, the Intel logo seen displayed on a smartphone.

Shares advanced further in the after-market session, amid speculation that Nvidia might use Intel manufacturing for its next-gen AI and GPU platform. Stocktwits sentiment has reamined ‘extremely bullish’ over the past few days. Intel Corp. stock broke its two-day losing streak, rising 3.3% on Tuesday, offering investors some respite amid a polarising debate over the future of the legacy chipmaker. Shares advanced by a similar magnitude in the after-market session as well, without a clear catalyst, further piquing interest. Some users on Stocktwits speculated whether Intel has a major deal or announcement in the works, which would boost the sentiment after its fourth-quarter report last week largely disappointed. “$INTC what if I told you there was more news?” remarked a user. Intel said it had not bagged a major customer for its foundry – a fledgling business unit that the company has been trying to turn around by reorganizing and bringing in external customers. Now, rumours are swirling that chip giant Nvidia might use Intel’s factories for part of the production related to Nvidia’s next-gen Feynman architecture. The AI and GPU platform is likely to be announced in 2028 and would succeed the recently announced Rubin system. Shay Boloor, a market strategist at Futurum Equities, said in an X post that Intel would be part of Nvidia’s multi-sourcing plan. Neither Nvidia nor Intel has publicly confirmed this news. Its main manufacturing partner, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing, would build the main GPU die, while Intel could handle the input/output (I/O) die and Embedded Multi-Die Interconnect Bridge (EMIB) packaging, Boloor said, without discussing the source of the inf...

Ripon City Wetlands and Welburn, North Yorkshire: First a starling and then a robin arrived like visitations. I am truly grateful for them both I’ve heard it said that birds come to people who’ve lost someone dear. It seemed a nice thing to believe, but I never really imagined it might be true. But neither did I imagine losing my only sibling at the age of 53. Nic’s childhood nickname, Twinkle, was apt. She was the brightest, kindest person I’ve ever known, and the ferocity of the cancer that took her in barely a month just before Christmas blindsided us all. A few days after she slipped away, we went with friends to watch a starling murmuration. It’s something we do most years, but never before have we seen a bird tumble from the throng and crash at our feet like a feathered meteorite. I scooped her into my hat. Sometimes all a stunned bird needs to recover is a warm, safe place to rest. But it wasn’t to be, and so now that impossibly beautiful body is buried* under our damson tree. Star. Sister. Bird. Blossom. All the same interchangeable stuff. Continue reading...

Naysayers continue to scoff at Palantir's stratospheric valuation. I think they may be in for a surprise. We're just weeks away from Palantir's (PLTR 1.26%) fourth-quarter financial report, and to call the stock divisive might well be an understatement. Bulls insist the company is the perfect combination of software-as-a-service (SaaS) and artificial intelligence (AI) wrangler. Bears point to the stock's stratospheric valuation and walk away shaking their heads. Calling Palantir "Wall Street's most hated stock" isn't much of a stretch. Of the 26 Wall Street analysts who have issued an opinion, only 23% rate the stock a buy or strong buy, with the other 77% taking a hard pass. It's safe to say the debate will rage on for years, but in the short term, I think Palantir is about to surprise everyone. An object in motion tends to stay in motion As most science buffs know, Sir Isaac Newton's First Law of Motion states that an object in motion tends to stay in motion, unless acted upon by an external force. Put another way, things continue to move in the same direction and the same speed until something comes along to change that. I believe such is the case with Palantir. Let's add some numbers for context. Palantir's revenue has grown more than 700% since its 2019 IPO, fueling net income growth of 1,320%. This combination of runaway sales and expanding profit sets the stage for future growth. What's even more telling is that its revenue growth has accelerated in each and every quarter going back to mid-2023, soon after it released its Artificial Intelligence Platform. The magic of this AI system is that it integrates with existing enterprise business systems -- sales, manufacturing, shipping, finance, etc. -- and provides real-time solutions to everyday business challenges.

Hong Kong’s leader has called for patience following public complaints about the city’s new mandatory seat belt law, with passengers lamenting that the restraints were poorly fitted for young children and prevented commuters from reaching the “stop” buttons on buses to alight. Chief Executive John Lee Ka-chiu on Tuesday said the new regulation was a necessary responsibility that the city must accept to protect lives, and that it was informed by the “painful lesson” of the 2018 Tai Po Road bus crash that claimed 19 lives. “We must all recognise the facts and accept the responsibility of wearing seat belts on public transport,” Lee said ahead of his weekly Executive Council meeting, noting that similar laws had been implemented in mainland China, the United Kingdom, Australia and Singapore. Advertisement Singapore does not mandate seat belts on public buses but does so for smaller private-hire buses. Under Hong Kong’s new rule, all passengers travelling on public or private buses – including franchised and school services – must wear a seat belt whenever one is available. Advertisement The mandate also applies to the rear seats of private light buses and goods vehicles, as well as to all seats in special-purpose vehicles such as mobile cranes or street-cleaning trucks, provided they were first registered on or after January 25.

Donny DBM/iStock via Getty Images Manager Commentary The expected Supreme Court ruling on the Trump administration's tariffs, change of leadership at the Fed, renegotiation of NAFTA, and mid-term elections in November are just a few among many factors that could also drive the U. S. economy and markets in 2026. - Jennison Associates, LLC Market in Review U. S. equity markets capped a strong year of performance with modest gains during the fourth quarter of 2025. Resurging concerns about the durability of artificial intelligence development and enormous levels of investment spent on AI infrastructure led to volatility during the last three months of the year. Despite these fears and associated valuation worries, the Federal Reserve's ("Fed") easing monetary policy, moderating but still positive economic growth, and the ongoing penetration of AI buoyed the markets as the year ended. The S&P 500 Index ("Index") advanced by 2.6% for the quarter, and after a long stretch of outperformance by growth and large-cap equities, market participation broadened during the period. The tech-heavy Nasdaq outperformed the Index due to continued concentrated strength in mega-cap tech and AI beneficiaries. However, modest cooling in AI-led growth leadership and rotation away from highly concentrated, premium-valuation growth stocks toward discounted cyclical and defensive sectors led to the outperformance of value stocks. Expectations of a lower interest rate environment helped support cyclicals, as well as small caps, during the quarter. Trepidation about valuations left no cushion for missing earnings expectations, and even companies that met expectations but didn't exceed them, saw their share prices decline. Most sectors lagged the modest market return, with only Health Care and Communications services outperforming. The Health Care sector led the market during the quarter, as the group rebounded after being under intermittent pressure since late 2024. Relief on the political front...

Elliott Investment Management repeated its call for investors to reject the Toyota group’s bid to buy out a key unit, arguing this month’s sweetened offer still “substantially undervalues” the company and that it can achieve greater value on its own. The privatization of Toyota Industries Corp. would be a setback for corporate governance and minority shareholder rights in Japan, the US activist fund said Tuesday in a 52-page presentation that outlines its opposition. Elliott is stepping up its opposition to the deal as the monthlong tender period for investors to accept the offer nears its half-way point. The fund reiterated it won’t tender its shares into the offer and “strongly encouraged” other investors to also reject the offer. The Toyota group earlier this month increased its bid by 15% to ¥18,800 for each share of Toyota Industries it doesn’t own. However, Elliott says the company is worth at least ¥26,000 a share, but could be closer to ¥40,000 by 2028 if it focused on unwinding cross-shareholdings, consolidating, improving capital allocation and implementing governance reforms. Earlier this month, Elliott raised its stake in Toyota Industries to 6.7% from its previous position of 5%, making it the company’s second-biggest shareholder. The tender period began Jan. 15 and runs through Feb. 12. If successful, the company will fall under the control of an unlisted real estate company called Toyota Fudosan Co., which is chaired by Akio Toyoda , who also leads the board of Toyota Motor Corp. and is the grandson of the carmaker’s founder.

A “threat assessment” of Thailand amid deadly land border clashes has finally convinced Cambodia to ratify a major UN maritime treaty, according to analysts. Speculation that the Thai navy might close off supply lanes in the Gulf of Thailand also weighed heavily in Phnom Penh’s decision, they said. Phnom Penh ratified the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea (Unclos) on January 16, more than four decades after signing the treaty. It is the last Asean member to do so. Advertisement Passed during the fifth session of the National Assembly, the approval will be forwarded to the Senate for final sign-off. Cambodia signed Unclos in 1983, one year after the convention was adopted in Jamaica. However, the treaty entered into force only in 1994, primarily due to resistance from industrialised nations over deep seabed mining rules.
