One of the weirdest corners of the Internet is suddenly hard to find on Bing, after the search engine inexplicably started blocking approximately 1.5 million independent websites hosted on Neocities. Founded in 2013 to archive the "aesthetic awesomeness" of GeoCities websites , Neocities keeps the spirit of the 1990s Internet alive. It lets users design free websites without relying on standardized templates devoid of personality. For hundreds of thousands of people building websites around art , niche fandoms , and special expertise —or simply seeking a place to get a little weird online —Neocities provides a blank canvas that can be endlessly personalized when compared to a Facebook page. Delighted visitors discovering these sites are more likely to navigate by hovering flashing pointers over a web of spinning GIFs than clicking a hamburger menu or infinitely scrolling. That's the style of Internet that Kyle Drake, Neocities' founder, strives to maintain. So he was surprised when he noticed that Bing was curiously blocking Neocities sites last summer. At first, the issue seemed resolved by contacting Microsoft, but after receiving more recent reports that users were struggling to log in, Drake discovered that another complete block was implemented in January. Even more concerning, he saw that after delisting the front page, Bing had started pointing users to a copycat site where he was alarmed to learn they were providing their login credentials.

A "profit alert" from Nio surprised investors today. Chinese electric vehicle (EV) maker Nio (NIO +8.11%) provided investors with a surprise update today, and the stock surged in response. Specifically, the company provided "a profit alert for the fourth quarter of 2025." Shares jumped by more than 10% and were still up 10% as of 2:14 p.m. ET. A first for Nio Nio's alert said the company now expects to achieve its first-ever adjusted profit from operations in the fourth quarter. The range of $100 million to $172 million was also impressive, as it represents a solidly profitable operating quarter, excluding share-based compensation expenses. It seems likely that, in response to the surprise announcement, analyst predictions for Nio stock will soon shift to the upside. Nio cited "sustained growth in sales volume in the fourth quarter of 2025" and "the optimization of vehicle margin driven by a favorable product mix" as the drivers of the positive news. It also noted ongoing cost reduction and optimization efforts to achieve the milestone.

格隆汇2月6日｜美国白宫：政府愿意讨论美国参议院少数党领袖舒默和美国众议院少数党领袖杰弗瑞斯提出的一些要求。

JHVEPhoto/iStock Editorial via Getty Images Introduction Cummins Inc. ( CMI ) just reported its Q4 and full-year results , which were kind of mixed when looking at the headline numbers; however, what the headlines missed were the massive cash flow generation that was enabled through fantastic performance from data center power generation demand, with steady capex for the year. By The Numbers Starting from the top, sales for Q4 came in at around $8.5B, essentially flat y/y, but beat estimates by a decent mark, $400m. Looking at the revenues in more detail. The Engine segment was down 4% to $2.6B, the Components segment down 7% to $2.4B, the distribution segment up7% to $3.3B, Power Systems up 11% to $1.9B, and Accelera up 31% to $131m. As you can see, most segments continue to show some weakness, with demand for medium- and heavy-duty trucks coming in softer than expected. The components segment experienced the biggest hit due to the NA sales decreasing 15% y/y, while there were some improvements in Europe and China. And of course, the unsurprising fact that the only good segments for the company are the segments that are involved within the data center industry. The distribution segment saw NA sales increase 10% due to increased demand for power generation products in data centers. The same for the Power systems segment, which saw NA sales up 15%, as power generation demand continues to soar. Looking at the company’s profitability, Q4 GAAP EPS came in at $4.27, missing estimates by around 75 cents. The miss is due to the company realizing a non-cash charge related to the electrolyzer business within Accelera, as the company saw how the markets, there have deteriorated significantly. The trucking side of things saw its EBITDA margins contract. Engine down 340bps, components down 30bps. Power systems and distribution, which house data center demand, you guessed it, seen massive y/y improvements. Power systems EBITDA margins went up 370bps to 21.7%, while distribution ...

Key Points Eli Lilly has seen earnings soar thanks to its leadership in the weight loss drug market. The company’s weight loss portfolio brought in more than $11 billion in revenue in the recent quarter. 10 stocks we like better than Eli Lilly › Eli Lilly (NYSE: LLY) stock soared 10% in one trading session this week, sparked by a strong earnings report. And the pharma giant's gains may be far from over. The company has been offering investors the best of both worlds in recent years: the "safety" pharma stocks are generally known for, along with a great deal of growth. How is Lilly doing this? The company has a vast portfolio of commercialized products, and this makes it a safe investment over time as patients need their medicines regardless of the economic environment. As for growth, Lilly has become a leader in the weight loss drug market, a market analysts expect to reach nearly $100 billion by the end of the decade. Will AI create the world's first trillionaire? Our team just released a report on the one little-known company, called an "Indispensable Monopoly" providing the critical technology Nvidia and Intel both need. Continue » This has driven enormous gains in Lilly's stock price -- it's advanced 220% over three years -- as revenue has climbed. And just recently, this pharma powerhouse delivered fantastic news to shareholders. Lilly's weight loss drugs Before diving in, though, let's take a close look at Lilly's crown jewel: its weight loss portfolio. Lilly sells two drugs that have been making headlines thanks to their ability to help people lose weight. They are Mounjaro and Zepbound, the commercial names for tirzepatide. Regulators approved Mounjaro for type 2 diabetes back in 2022, but doctors have also prescribed it off-label for weight loss. Zepbound won approval specifically for the weight loss indication in 2023. Together, these products have driven tremendous growth at Lilly. For example, in the recent quarter, they brought in more than $11 billion ...

Investors were nervous over an abrupt resignation from one of its key executive officers. Shares of The Trade Desk (TTD 4.01%) fell 20% last month, according to data from S&P Global Market Intelligence. As an advertising demand-side platform (DSP), the company is struggling to compete with large technology players for advertising dollars in the connected TV (CTV) market and just saw its CFO depart. Shares of the stock are down 81% from all-time highs as of this writing on February 5th, 2026. Here's why The Trade Desk was down again last month, and whether it is a buy right now. Expand NASDAQ : TTD The Trade Desk Today's Change ( -4.01 %) $ -1.09 Current Price $ 26.18 Key Data Points Market Cap $13B Day's Range $ 26.02 - $ 27.78 52wk Range $ 26.02 - $ 125.80 Volume 662K Avg Vol 14M Gross Margin 78.81 % A quick CFO departure The Trade Desk's business was already under pressure. And then, its CFO decided to leave after only five months on the job. On Monday, January 26th, The Trade Desk issued a press release stating that its prior CFO -- second in command at the business -- Alex Kayyal had resigned effective January 24th. A few items stand out as suspicious in this release. First, Kayyal had only been on the job for five months. Second, the resignation was handed in on a Saturday, an atypical time to make a decision like this. Third, it had nothing to do with the business's financial performance, as the company reiterated its fourth-quarter guidance. This indicates that Kayyal was let go for non-financial performance, which has investors nervous about executive culture at the business. At the same time the CFO chair keeps rotating, The Trade Desk is facing a slowdown in revenue growth. Revenue was up just 18% year over year last quarter for the advertising DSP, slower growth than its competitor, Amazon. Amazon has made a large push to build a DSP for advertisers for streaming internet TV, which has been The Trade Desk's specialty. It looks like Amazon may be gaining m...

nazarethman/E+ via Getty Images I like picks-and-shovels plays on larger secular themes, and Silicon Motion Technology Corporation ( SIMO ) and its memory controllers look like a good picks-and-shovels type of play on a memory super-cycle driven by not only well-publicized data center/AI demand for memory but also the expansion of more advanced memory into personal devices and industrial products like cars. SIMO’s leverage to this trend is no secret, and the shares are up more than 135% over the past year. Even so, and acknowledging the cyclical risks that go with elevated memory demand, I believe I can make an argument that the shares still offer reasonably priced exposure to this growth market, or at least reasonable in a market where many other DC/AI plays trade at 30-40 times earnings or more. Another Strong Quarter And Guide SIMO came through with another strong quarterly performance , and guidance for the next quarter was likewise strong, as robust memory demand intersects with strong market performance and share gains. Revenue rose 46% year over year and 15% quarter over quarter, beating by about 7%. Regrettably, management here only provides ranges of segment performance, with SSD controllers up 35%-40% yoy and 25%-30% qoq, SSD Solutions up 110%-115% yoy and 125%-130% qoq, and eMMC+UFS controllers up 50%-55% yoy and 0%-5% qoq. Non-GAAP gross margin improved 320 bp yoy and 50 bp qoq to 49.2%, beating by about 10 bp. Non-GAAP operating income rose 70% yoy and 40% qoq, beating by 6%, with margin up almost three points yoy and 350 bp qoq to 19.3%. I want to note that some analysts use GAAP numbers, while others use non-GAAP, and I believe the published sell-side average numbers are meant to be the non-GAAP figures. At a minimum, the stock price reaction to earnings/guidance doesn't suggest a miss. While a seasonal drop-off in the first quarter has been normal in SIMO’s past, that’s not the case this time around. Management guided to Q1 revenue up 80% yoy and 5%-...

Agus Dwi Wahyu Diana Putra/iStock via Getty Images Over the summer I believed that shares o f Flowco ( FLOC ) r epresented a very interesting setup. The provider of resilient and sticky revenues to oil well optimization services has seen shares come down substantially since the IPO, trading at a reasonable mid-teens earnings multiple. Despite the sluggish oil price environment, last summer's levels provided an opportunity as well. Even as sales came in under some pressure, Flowco demonstrated real margin gains, with profits furthermore aided by cheaper debt. The company started 2026 with a substantial and appealing acquisition, both in the form of the valuation multiple paid and technologies added, making me still upbeat here. Perspective Flowco went public a little over a year ago, with the business going public in January of last year. The company provides products, claiming to cover the entire lifecycle of every oil well, with specific solutions including that of artificial lift and methane abatement solutions. Such services are typically used to maximize output and profitability over the lifetime of the well, with various lifts, vapor recovery units, gas lifts, etc. The business operated more than 4,000 active systems (at the time), often used by shale oil producers. This follows the rapid production decline rates of these wells as well as lower-pressure wells, which require such solutions to produce at all. With insufficient pressure being artificially solved, this tells me that such services are not discretionary, creating more sticky revenues than perhaps believed, but analyzing the business was not easy. After all, Flowco has eventually become the outcome of the merger of three firms: Estis, FPS, and Flogistix, creating a murky history in terms of recent financials. The business went public at $24 but quickly fell to the high teens over the summer as the business posted first-quarter sales at $192 million, up six million on a sequential basis. Adjusted EBITD...

ORACLE CORPORATION (ORCL) INVESTOR ALERT Investors With GlobeNewswire

The powerhouse financial stock hasn't looked all that mighty lately. Across 2025, American Express (AXP +0.29%) stock convincingly outperformed the broader market, rising by almost 25% compared with the S&P 500 index's 16% gain. Early in the new year, however, that dynamic was flipped, with Amex stock going negative and the index bumping slightly higher. The big change was President Donald Trump's rather-out-of-the-blue demand to set a 10% cap on the interest rates credit card issuers charge their customers. Since Amex is a massive issuer, investors became spooked about the potential damage to the company. I think this was an overreaction, and the market's sell-off makes it a bargain. Berkshire Hathaway was a big buyer It's no accident that Amex has been a foundational holding in the equity portfolio of Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway for decades. The celebrated investor -- who stepped down from Berkshire Hathaway recently -- has always liked a moat, and he favors companies that not only post high margins year after year but also manage to grow at admirable rates. Amex checks all those boxes. And its Centurion Card (aka the Black Card) has been considered the ultimate credit product for many years. That, married with the company's always competitive Membership Rewards loyalty program, gives Amex a very defensible moat, even in the crowded credit card business. Additionally, Amex distinguishes itself from card giants Mastercard and Visa by being a "closed loop" company. This means it is both the issuer of the credit denoted by its plastic and the processor of transactions made with it. Mastercard and Visa are "open loop" operators, meaning they operate only as processors. Since Amex is the sole issuer in the trio, it is the most vulnerable to a sudden imposition of an interest rate cap.

Up first, here’s what I’m reading and writing this week. More streamers are getting in on licensing podcasts. Hulu announced it’ll soon start streaming We’re Here to Help , a comedy advice show. Episodes will premiere a day earlier than they do on podcast apps and YouTube. This critically differs from the deals Netflix Inc. has been making in that the episodes will remain on YouTube. The Washington Post laid off about a third of its staff, including the team that made its daily Post Reports podcast. Really awful stuff. My colleague Hannah Miller covered the cuts . Netflix will live stream the first concert back in more than three years by K-pop phenomenon BTS.

The difficult podcast-to-satellite-radio transition By most measures, SiriusXM’s move into podcasting has been going well. The company, now armed with an armada of top programs like SmartLess , Call Her Daddy and The Mel Robbins Podcast , became the No. 1 network by reach this past year, according to Edison Research . While reporting earnings today, the company shared that podcast ad revenue grew 41% for the full year. Still, the journey, years in the making, hasn’t been all rosy. Part of the impetus for SiriusXM to focus on podcasts came as a result of shrinking users on Pandora, its internet radio service, and on its core satellite-radio offering.
