Microsoft (NasdaqGS:MSFT) signed a multi year, US$750 million Azure AI cloud deal with Perplexity, adding a new large scale customer to its AI infrastructure business. The company introduced its Maia 200 AI chip, described as its most advanced in house AI inference processor to date for Azure data centers. Both moves come as investors question how Microsoft will balance heavy AI capital spending with near term financial returns and cloud capacity constraints. For you as an investor, this update sits at the intersection of Microsoft’s core Azure cloud business and its push into custom AI silicon. Azure is being positioned as a multi model platform that can run workloads from different AI vendors, and the Perplexity contract adds another example of that approach in action. At the same time, Maia 200 places Microsoft more directly in the chip design arena, alongside established suppliers of AI GPUs. These developments give you more concrete data points on how Microsoft (NasdaqGS:MSFT) is building out its AI roadmap with both long term contracts and internal hardware. As scrutiny of AI related capital expenditure grows, the scale of the Perplexity deal and the move toward in house chips may shape how investors think about Microsoft’s future growth profile, risk mix, and competitive position in large scale AI infrastructure.

NasdaqGS:MSFT 1-Year Stock Price Chart Advertisement How this AI deal and custom chip move feed into the Microsoft thesis The Perplexity agreement gives Microsoft another AI focused workload on Azure, but the fine print matters for investors because actual near term spend depends on model availability, billing regions and whether capacity is live now or largely reserved for later. Maia 200 fits into the same story, as a custom inference chip that could help stretch scarce GPU capacity and support Microsof...

BTIG首席市场技术分析师Jonathan Krinsky认为，尽管白银在单日暴跌约30%后可能出现短期技术性反弹，但从长线趋势看，银价大概率会回撤至今年早些时候约55美元的初始突破位寻找支撑

Micron Technology has been one of the biggest winners of the AI boom. A lot can happen in 40 years. Just ask early investors of Micron Technology (MU 4.87%). Micron went public in 1984 (42 years ago) as a tiny memory tech company based in Boise, Idaho. Back then, if you wanted to invest $1,000 in Micron stock, you would have called your broker directly over the phone and placed an order. There was no clicking; there was no real-time confirmation. Expand NASDAQ : MU Micron Technology Today's Change ( -4.87 %) $ -21.23 Current Price $ 414.56 Key Data Points Market Cap $467B Day's Range $ 407.29 - $ 455.42 52wk Range $ 61.54 - $ 455.50 Volume 2M Avg Vol 30M Gross Margin 45.53 % Dividend Yield 0.11 % If you had placed that order over the phone and let your shares grow over that time frame, here's what would have happened. From the mid-1980s to the mid-1990s, Micron stock rose over fivefold, driven by the expansion of personal computers and the success of its early DRAM chips. Your original $1,000 would have turned into about $5,700. The late 1990s delivered another surge in value. Demand for memory tech was exploding alongside the Internet boom, and Micro was growing into one of the world's largest memory producers. By the peak of the dot-com era in March 2000, your original $1,000 investment would have been worth over $50,000. Then, of course, came the crash. The dot-com bust absolutely crushed Micron stock. And while the company continued to innovate throughout the 2000s and 2010s, the stock failed to reclaim its dot-com-era highs for about two decades. All in all, if you had stayed invested from 1984 through the dot-com crash and rocky years leading up to today's AI boom, your original $1,000 investment would be worth about $414,500 today (January 27, 2026). Put differently: Every $1 invested in Micron in 1984 has turned into roughly $414 today. Micron continues to rally in 2026, yet its valuation doesn't look stretched. It's currently trading at about 12 times forwa...

Iran Hits Back At EU: Designates European Armies As 'Terrorist Entities' Iran is saying two can play at the West's game: on Friday the secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council blasted the EU's decision to designate the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) as a "terrorist organization," warning that Europe's own militaries would now be viewed through the same lens. "The European Union certainly knows that… the armies of countries that have participated in the European Union's recent resolution against the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps are considered terrorist entities ," Ali Larijani wrote in a post on X. He added bluntly: "Therefore, the consequences of that shall be borne by the European countries that undertook such an action." NurPhoto However, there's probably nothing in the way of European military assets for the Islamic Republic to sanction, so this 'action' by Tehran will remain largely symbolic . Iran does have assets held in various places of Europe though. EU foreign ministers agreed on Thursday to formally classify the IRGC as a "terrorist organization" and urged member states to implement the designation without delay - after a few longtime holdouts flipped . Among those recently changing their stance include France, Spain, and Italy - but apparently the recent deadly protests, and Trump's pressure, had an impact. One bit of irony is that the West has over the past year removed its designation of Syria's Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), after Jolani took over Damascus. HTS is literally the founding al-Qaeda group in Syria . The IRGC stands accused by the West of directing Iran's crackdown of domestic unrest, after economic-driven protests took over town and city streets this month. Thousands died, but Iran officials have pointed to armed saboteurs being mixed in among the peaceful demonstrators , leading to mayhem and a high death toll. The United States, Canada, and Australia had already blacklisted the IRGC, while Germany and the Nether...

Industry research forecasts that AI hyperscalers will spend at least $500 billion on infrastructure in 2026. According to a recent report published by Goldman Sachs, artificial intelligence (AI) hyperscalers are forecast to spend more than $500 billion on infrastructure this year. As capital expenditure (capex) budgets become larger, developers like Microsoft, Alphabet, Amazon, and Meta Platforms share a common idea: Accelerate data center build-outs. Let's dig into three companies poised to benefit from these explosive AI-related infrastructure tailwinds both during 2026 and beyond. 1. The jack of all trades: Nvidia The most obvious beneficiary of accelerating infrastructure spend is Nvidia (NVDA 0.72%). Nvidia kicked off the AI revolution three years ago after big tech realized the company's graphics processing units (GPUs) could be used to build numerous generative AI applications. On the surface, relentless demand for Nvidia's GPUs has fueled an unprecedented rise in the company's top line. But Nvidia's profitability profile should be what smart investors are focusing on. As the company's operating cash flow continues to grow, Nvidia has positioned itself to double down on its innovation road map -- releasing new GPU architectures about every 18 months. While the company's current Blackwell series is considered the gold standard, Nvidia is already building a massive backlog -- reportedly in the hundreds of billions of dollars -- as hyperscalers rush to secure the company's newest chips, dubbed Rubin.

Polanski himself wrote about his disappointment when he was not selected to run in Richmond Park, saying he was told "a local candidate is a trump card for many parties". But the Lib Dem source remembers him as "incredibly angry and counterproductive" after he was not allowed to stand. Another senior Lib Dem figure, who saw him regularly when he was in the party, wonders whether Polanski is driven by principle or ambition, telling me he was "a strident supporter of coalition and now he has ended up as quite a left-wing party leader – my impression is that has been driven by what suited every circumstance".

A powerful storm bore down on the East Coast on Saturday, with forecasters warning of howling winds, flooding and heavy snow, including in some Southeast coastal communities more accustomed to hurricanes than blizzards. Temperatures plummeted even as tens of thousands of homes and businesses remained without power. In Myrtle Beach, South Carolina — whose official seal is the sun, palm trees and a seagull — 6 inches (15 centimeters) of snow was expected. The city has no snow removal equipment, and authorities planned to "use what we can find," Mayor Mark Kruea said. Subfreezing weather was forecast into February, with heavy snow in the Carolinas, Virginia and northeast Georgia over the weekend including up to a foot (30 centimeters) in parts of North Carolina. Snow was also said to be possible from Maryland to Maine. Saturday night and early Sunday, forecasters said, wind and snow could lead to blizzard conditions before the storm moves out to sea. The frigid cold was expected to plunge as far south as Florida. Temperatures neared the teens (minus 10 Celsius) in Nashville, Tennessee, and frustrations bubbled over for those who had been without power for a week. Terry Miles, a 59-year-old construction worker whose home has had no electricity since a previous storm struck Sunday, resorted to using a fish fryer for heat and worried about the danger of carbon monoxide. "I'm taking a chance of killing myself and killing my wife, because — Why?" Miles said after attending a Nashville Electric Service news conference intended to showcase the utility's repairs on poles and lines. He then pointed to officials. More than 170,000 homes and businesses were without electricity, mostly in Mississippi and Tennessee, according to the outage tracking website poweroutage.us. That included more than 57,000 in Nashville as of Friday night. Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee said he shared "strong concerns" with leadership of Nashville Electric Service, adding that residents "need a clear timeline ...

Aryna Sabalenka has been the dominant force in women's tennis for the past two seasons. With baseline power anchoring her game, the 27-year-old Belarusian has pummelled opponents on the way to nine WTA titles and created a clear gap at the top of the world rankings. Yet there are still questions about Sabalenka's big-game mentality - and with justifiable cause after her latest loss in a major final. Sabalenka admirably fought back in Saturday's Australian Open showpiece against Kazakhstan's Elena Rybakina and led 3-0 in the decider, only to end up losing 4-6 6-4 4-6. "I felt that Sabalenka really beat herself up in that final set," former British number one Annabel Croft said on BBC Radio 5 Live. "The minute panic set in she just steamrolled in the wrong direction."

Key Points There are now many ways to purchase digital ownership in gold, especially through stablecoins. Stablecoins are digital assets backed by a traditional currency or commodity. The price of gold recently topped $5,000 per ounce. 10 stocks we like better than SPDR Gold Shares › Given how digitized the world has become, there aren't too many investors still buying gold bars and burying them in their backyard. However, gold has once again become a popular investment, and it has been on a tear in recent years. Naturally, the financial engineers on Wall Street have developed several ways to buy it online. An increasingly popular way to purchase the commodity is through tokenized gold or stablecoins. 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 » Stablecoins use blockchain technology, similar to that of cryptocurrencies, though they're designed to remove the inherent volatility of most cryptocurrencies. They are digital tokens backed by a currency or commodity and essentially are digital ownership of a physical asset. Stablecoins track the price of the commodity or currency they're backed by. With gold prices rising and more Wall Street analysts picking gold as a smart investment, investors from institutional to retail have begun purchasing the commodity through various channels, and a gold-backed stablecoin is one way to do so. According to a recent report from the crypto exchange CEX.io, tokenized gold trading reached $178 billion in 2025. That's more than any other U.S. exchange-traded fund (ETF) except the SPDR Gold Shares (NYSEMKT: GLD), which has $165 billion in assets under management. Popular stablecoins such as Tether Gold and Paxos Gold have grown tremendously, and can be purchased on crypto platforms like Coinbase.

Operations at Russia’s Murmansk Bulk Terminal and Commercial Seaport were temporarily suspended due to power disruptions in Murmansk and the nearby city of Severomorsk, according to Interfax. The bulk terminal said the shutdown was a deliberate move to reduce electricity consumption and free up capacity for residents and other areas currently without power, Interfax reported. The seaport also halted operations to prevent damage to equipment and ease pressure on the power grid, according to its press service, cited by Interfax. Murmansk facility, a key Arctic gateway, handles a wide range of dry bulk and general cargo, including coal, iron ore and other metals. It’s one of the largest ports in Russia’s northwest.

Exxon Mobil Corporation (NYSE:XOM) is included among the 12 Best Stocks to Buy for the Long Term. Exxon’s (XOM) Relative Valuation Comes into Focus at BofA On January 28, BofA lifted its price target on Exxon Mobil Corporation (NYSE:XOM) to $135 from $129 while maintaining a Neutral rating. After comparing valuations across European and US integrated oil majors, the firm said the valuation gap favoring US companies is “still overdone.” Within the group of five supermajors, BofA said it prefers Buy-rated TotalEnergies and Chevron over Neutral-rated Exxon and Shell, as well as Underperform-rated BP, largely based on relative valuations. In related news, a January 27 Reuters report said Exxon Mobil and China’s BYD plan to expand their partnership in hybrid vehicle technology. BYD said the two companies signed a long-term strategic Memorandum of Understanding on January 26, under which they will explore customized product research and development, potential collaboration in new materials, and other areas. Last year, BYD and Exxon jointly launched an engine oil specifically designed for BYD’s plug-in electric vehicles. Exxon Mobil Corporation (NYSE:XOM) is one of the world’s largest integrated energy companies, with operations spanning oil and natural gas exploration, production, and refining. The company also manufactures fuels, petrochemicals, lubricants, and advanced plastics, while investing in lower-emission initiatives such as carbon capture and lithium production.

Eoneren/E+ via Getty Images Regeneron ( REGN ) closed slightly lower yesterday after reporting Q4 2025 results that were slightly better than the market consensus, and providing expense guidance for 2026. However, there were no major surprises, as the company pre-announced Eylea net sales and R&D spending guidance ahead of the JPMorgan Healthcare conference a few weeks ago, and as partner Sanofi ( SNY ) reported strong fourth quarter net sales of Dupixent the day before. The stock is up 14% since my October 2025 update, where I described how the market is starting to embrace the new Regeneron. I continue to expect Regeneron’s return to stronger growth this year, and the setup for 2026 is looking a bit better than I expected a few months ago—I think Eylea will do better this year thanks to Regeneron’s and Roche’s ( RHHBY ) $120 million combined contribution to patient support funds. The lack of copay support was one of the major drivers of last year’s weakness of Eylea and of the stalling of growth of Roche’s Vabysmo. Q4 2025 results—Eylea still under pressure, Dupixent shines Total revenue in the fourth quarter of 2025 grew 3% Y/Y to $3.88 billion. Collaboration revenue grew 23%, and it managed to offset a 16% decline in net product sales. A better-than-expected end to the year means Regeneron managed to squeeze out a 1% increase in full-year revenue in 2025. Dupixent had a very strong fourth quarter, and it closed the year just shy of $5 billion in global net sales, driving Regeneron’s antibody collaboration profit (with Sanofi) up to $1.46 billion. Dupixent’s growth was driven by continued growth in existing indications and strong uptake in new indications such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, chronic spontaneous urticaria, and bullous pemphigoid. The Eylea franchise experienced a 27% Y/Y decline in net sales, but it has been stable sequentially throughout 2025 with quarterly net sales of around $1.1 billion. The “old” Eylea continues to be squeezed by co...

Nvidia Corp. supports “every developer” that uses its software, Chief Executive Officer Jensen Huang said, after a US lawmaker accused the chip giant of offering technical support that helped China’s DeepSeek improve its artificial intelligence model. “Whenever developers want to use our software, we openly support everyone,” Huang told reporters in Taipei in response to a question about Nvidia’s support. “Every AI developer in the world works with Nvidia. And so I’m very proud of that.” Huang’s remarks came after John Moolenaar , the top Republican on the House China committee, said in a letter earlier this week that Nvidia’s support allowed DeepSeek to achieve cutting-edge performance with its R1 model. Read: Nvidia Worked to ‘Co-Design’ DeepSeek Model, US Lawmaker Says DeepSeek’s launch of its R1 model last year rattled markets, erasing 3% from the tech-focused Nasdaq 100 Index in one day, as investors weighed the impact of an AI model developed at lower cost and with more technical constraints.

Retail investors talked up five hot stocks this week (Jan. 26 to Jan. 30) on X and Reddit's r/WallStreetBets, driven by retail hype, earnings, AI buzz, and corporate news flow. Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ:MSFT), SanDisk Corp. (NASDAQ:SNDK), Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ:META), Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL), and UnitedHealth Group Inc. (NYSE:UNH), spanning AI, software, data center, storage, semiconductor, social media, tech, and insurance, reflected diverse investor interests. Microsoft MSFT news this week centered on its fiscal second-quarter earnings release on Jan. 28. The company reported strong results, with revenue of $81.27 billion (beating expectations), EPS of $4.14 adjusted, and Microsoft Cloud revenue surpassing $50 billion for the first time, driven by robust Azure growth (around 38-39%) and AI demand. However, investors focused on a massive $37.5 billion in capital expenditures, sparking concerns over margin pressure, sustainability of heavy spending, and slower-than-hoped cloud acceleration. Despite all the negative sentiment this week, some retail investors were still optimistic about MSFT’s growth.

This tech company is using artificial intelligence to build up its business. Shares of design software developer Figma (FIG 4.25%) experienced incredible success when they went public last July, debuting at $33 per share before skyrocketing to a 52-week high of $142.92 in August. Since then, the stock has reversed course big time. Shares hit a 52-week low of $26.79 on Jan. 21, dropping below the IPO price. This may be a great opportunity to scoop up Figma stock. Or could reasons exist to hold off? Answering those questions requires a deeper dive into Figma's business. Figma's successful product strategy Figma is striving to reinvent design software, and one of the ways it's doing so is by incorporating artificial intelligence. For instance, the company acquired AI design start-up Weavy in October. Weavy, now called Figma Weave, combines several leading AI models with professional editing tools to streamline the design process and enable designers to use AI as a collaborator to quickly achieve their creative visions. The company's proprietary AI tool, Figma Make, is seeing 30% of customers providing annual recurring revenue (ARR) of $100,000 or more using it on a weekly basis, and usage is growing. CFO Praveer Melwani explained the company's growth strategy on a November call with analysts, saying, "We deepened our investments in Q3 to build for the AI native workflows of the future." The approach is working, as evidenced by Figma's strong customer growth and retention. In the third quarter of 2025, the company added more than 1,000 customers with ARR of $10,000 or more. In addition, Figma's net dollar retention rate for clients with ARR of at least $10,000 was 131%, which indicates these high-value customers are expanding their spending.
