Market-research startup AlphaSense is seeking hundreds of millions of dollars in fresh funding, according to people familiar with the matter, riding a wave of interest in artificial intelligence-powered data providers. The latest round would value AlphaSense at well over the $4 billion valuation it fetched in its last funding round in 2024, said the people, who asked to not be identified because the details are private. No final decision has been made and the terms could change, the people added. A representative for AlphaSense declined to comment. AlphaSense, started in 2011, offers an artificial-intelligence based search engine that draws on a database of more than 500 million “premium financial and business documents,” according to its website. The idea is to provide an intuitive, easy-to-use platform to enable investment bankers to identify potential targets and hedge fund managers to analyze earnings report, among other uses. It’s used by more than 6,500 of the “world’s largest enterprises,” including JPMorgan Chase & Co. and Microsoft Corp., its website shows. The round comes as investors pour billions of dollars into AI giants OpenAI Inc. and Anthropic, banking on the technology’s potential to unlock enormous value across every sphere of business. AlphaSense raised $650 million in 2024 from backers including Viking Global Investors and BDT & MSD Partners to help pay for a $930 million takeover of data provider Tegus. AlphaSense has also raised money from Goldman Sachs Group Inc., Bank of America Corp. and Citigroup Inc. Bloomberg LP competes with New York-based AlphaSense in providing market research and data to investors.

Kaewta Suphan/iStock via Getty Images Late last year, I triple upgraded The Trade Desk, Inc. ( TTD ) from a sell to a strong buy rating. I believe there was a generational buying opportunity since the long-term growth story remained intact and management demonstrated confidence through aggressive share buybacks. As shown in the chart below, The Trade Desk has slid another ~40% since then, and so if the fundamentals and outlook have remained unchanged, we may be looking at the bargain of the century. Today, we'll analyze their most recent results and look at some recent news to see whether this is in fact the case right now. Seeking Alpha Below, it is shown that the company is indeed feeling the effects of geopolitical and macro headwinds. Top-line growth continues to slow, while guidance for 2026 Q1 is also soft. While an uncertain backdrop has created significant near-term risks, the long term remains bright in my view. Much of the international market remains untapped for The Trade Desk, and their potential OpenAI deal signals that their business remains very relevant in the age of AI. Meanwhile, the valuation has continued to slide, and so at current levels I view the risk/reward as asymmetrically favorable for the bulls. Therefore, I'm reiterating my strong buy rating on the stock. Global Expansion Potential The Trade Desk Q4 Presentation Before we talk about the numbers specific to their 2025 Q4, it is important to look at the big picture opportunity moving forward. The above map is a slide from their investor presentation that does a good job at summing up the growth potential for The Trade Desk. As stated above, 86% of their revenues come from North America, while 60% of the world's ad dollars are spent outside North America. Therefore, their business is still very much concentrated in the domestic market. While they do have a global presence with offices around the world, in terms of their revenues, I would say that their potential to grow globally is immens...

In this article GOOGL Follow your favorite stocks CREATE FREE ACCOUNT Intrinsic’s flagship product, Flowstate, is a web-based platform that allows users to build robotic applications without having to write thousands of lines of code. Intrinsic Google is adding another robotics partnership to its belt as it leans into robotics as a key bet for artificial intelligence . Agile Robots develops intelligent, sensor-based robotic arms and humanoid robots . The company announced a partnership with Google DeepMind to integrate its Gemini Robotics foundation models with Agile Robots’ hardware. "The partnership is built on a belief that applying AI in the physical world will be transformative," the Tuesday blog post states. "By bringing together Agile Robots' hardware and other AI robotic solutions developed in Germany, with Google DeepMind's Gemini Robotics foundation models, the two teams will improve performance via robot deployment, data collection, model training and iteration." The new partnership means Google will get real-world deployment data as it sees robotics as one of the large use cases for AI, competing against companies like Amazon and Tesla . It also shows the company is making several robotics partnerships as it leans into manufacturing as key use case. Munich-based Agile Robots already has more than 20,000 deployed robotic systems globally and it will integrate Google's tech in existing industrial robots at scale, the blog post says. The partnership will first focus on "high-value industrial" use cases such as manufacturing tasks. " This research partnership is an important step in bringing the impact of AI to the real world," said Carolina Parada, Senior Director and Head of Robotics, Google DeepMind, in Tuesday's blog post. She added that Agile Robots will help Google develop "more advanced AI models for the next generation of robots."

Diplomats say US president’s latest claimed plan probably based on now outdated framework put forward in May 2025 Middle East crisis – live updates The 15-point framework plan for peace with Iran that Donald Trump has said is being discussed is based on a proposal put forward by his negotiating team during nuclear talks almost a year ago, diplomats with knowledge of the talks believe. That original 15-point plan was the basis for negotiations in late May 2025, shortly before the talks collapsed due to Israeli airstrikes on Iran’s nuclear programme. Continue reading...

(Allen J. Schaben / Los Angeles Times via Getty Images) California’s top-two primary system allows the two highest vote-getters to advance, regardless of party, and Republicans Steve Hilton and Sheriff Chad Bianco have emerged as the top contenders in the race. Unless one of the Democrat candidates break out, the two Republicans could face each other in the final runoff in November. Hilton, 56, is a conservative commentator who formerly served as a political advisor in Great Britain. Bianco, 58, is a “law and order” sheriff and coroner of Riverside County. Polls have consistently showed the two Republicans leading the pack. The most recent Berkeley IGS Poll, conducted March 9–15, 2026, showed Hilton leading with 17 percent support among likely voters, followed closely by Bianco at 16 percent. Among Democrats, the deeply unpopular and controversial Rep. Eric Swalwell and former Rep. Katie Porter were tied at 13 percent, with left-wing billionaire Tom Steyer lagging at 10 percent. (Carlin Stiehl / Los Angeles Times via Getty Images) A full 16 percent of likely voters were undecided or backing other candidates. Poll director Mark DiCamillo said that voters are “largely unenthusiastic,” and pointed out that nearly all the Democrat candidates have higher unfavorable than favorable ratings. Porter and Steyer had the highest unfavorable ratings at 37 percent. California hasn’t elected a Republican to a statewide ...

Yanleth Rivera U.S. President Donald Trump announced that Iran has offered the U.S. a “present” as a show of good faith amid ongoing negotiations to end a 25-day conflict that has upended global markets. Trump declined to detail the gift, which he described as “worth a tremendous amount of money,” but confirmed it was related to energy flows through the Strait of Hormuz, with Iran’s Tasnim news agency reporting that a Thai ship passed through the vital waterway on Tuesday. The negotiations involve a high-profile team including Vice President JD Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and special envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner. Trump’s diplomatic optimism stood in contrast to the Pentagon’s simultaneous deployment of additional ground troops to the region. “They’re talking to us, and they’re talking sense. It all starts with they cannot have a nuclear weapon,” Trump told reporters at the White House. The president claimed Iran is eager to reach an agreement, asserting that the two sides have already agreed on some parameters of a potential deal. “They want to make a deal so badly, you have no idea how badly they want to make it,” Trump said, adding his bold declaration: “We’ve won this war.” When asked about finalizing an agreement, Trump expressed cautious optimism while acknowledging uncertainty remains. “I think we’re going to end it; I can’t tell you for sure,” he said, reiterating that preventing Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons remains the non-negotiable starting point of any deal.
