Kodiak AI ( KDK ) rallied in early trading on Wednesday after the company announced with partners Epirus and General Dynamics Land Systems the unveiling of the Leonidas Autonomous Ground Vehicle, described as a mobile, fully autonomous vehicle for counter-UAS, critical point defense, and homeland security missions. Kodiak ( KDK ) contributes the autonomous driving system for the weapon. Designed for autonomous critical point defense counter-UAS operations, Leonidas AGV can rapidly deploy to pre-planned intercept points or maneuver across a perimeter to protect critical assets from the threat of individual, swarm or fiber-optic controlled drone attacks. The Leonidas AGV is well-suited for a range of missions, including the defense of military installations, forward operating bases, airports, ports, energy infrastructure, and major public events. The system’s autonomous and teleoperation modes allow operators to scale coverage, reposition dynamically, and maintain continuous coverage from drone threats. Chardan Research has a Buy rating on Kodiak AI ( KODK ) and a price target of $22. Analyst James McIlree and his team have modeled revenue and customer growth accelerating over the coming quarters for Kodiak ( KDK ) to create multiple catalysts. McIlree highlighted that KDK company trades at about 20% of Aurora Innovation's ( AUR ) enterprise value, reflecting greater awareness of Aurora and a stronger balance sheet. "But Kodiak has a much lower burn, a significant advantage in the industrial and defense markets, and we believe has a cost advantage in the long-haul market," he noted. Shares of Kodiak AI ( KDK ) were up 11.9% in premarket trading to $8.20. More on Kodiak AI, Inc. Kodiak AI: Growth At A High Cost Kodiak AI, Inc.

JHVEPhoto/iStock Editorial via Getty Images A worsening supply constraint in central processing units made by Intel ( INTC ) and Advanced Micro Devices ( AMD ) is impacting PC and server makers who are already affected by the memory chip shortage, Nikkei Asia reported. PC manufacturers like HP ( HPQ ) and Dell ( DELL ) found that a meaningful 'gap' started appearing at the end of February between the volume of CPUs they required and the volume they could get, managers familiar with the matter told the news outlet, adding that the situation is now much worse than a few months ago. The supply crunch is already increasing wait times and pushing up prices for CPUs for servers and PCs, said several industry executives and managers. Some of them expect the situation to worsen in the coming months. Quote prices for CPUs have already risen several times this year, leading to an average price increase of between 10% and 15%, and some are even higher than this rate, the report added. Intel and AMD have recently told clients they will raise the prices for all series of CPUs from March and April, respectively, according to the report. "Previously, the average lead time for a CPU was around one to two weeks, but now the wait time has prolonged to an average of eight to 12 weeks," said an executive with a server maker that sells Nvidia, AMD, and Intel solutions to the news outlet. An executive with a server and PC distributor said that in some cases, the wait time for CPUs is now up to six months, the report noted. Intel, AMD, HP, and Dell did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Seeking Alpha. Intel told Nikkei Asia that it has "informed customers of planned pricing updates on select products, reflecting sustained demand, increased component and material costs, and evolving market dynamics." A growing demand for AI infrastructure has led to a supply shortage in memory chips. An executive at a supplier serving HP, Dell, and Asus said its clients have been allocat...

Michael M. Santiago | Getty Images News | Getty Images The labor market is currently in a frozen state , characterized by low hiring and turnover — and economists said the war in Iran could exacerbate the problem. "It will chill the labor market even more," Nicholas Bloom, an economics professor at Stanford University, said last week during a Harvard Kennedy School webinar on the war's economic consequences. If you have a job right now, "don't leave it," because things will get harder, Bloom said. Job market hit by 'superhero ice-blast' A jobseeker fills out a form during a job fair hosted by Statue City Cruises at Liberty Landing Marina in Jersey City, New Jersey, on March 17, 2026. The US Department of Labor is scheduled to release initial jobless claims figures on March 19. Michael Nagle/Bloomberg via Getty Images The job market had already been on shaky footing before the U.S. and Israel started bombing Iran on Feb. 28, economists said. Employers are hiring at their lowest rates since 2013, outside of the start of the Covid-19 pandemic, according to the most recent data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, which is through January. Meanwhile, employers are laying off workers at a historically low rate .

Stock Futures Surge, Oil Tumbles On Iran Ceasefire Optimism US futures are sharply higher and oil tumbles as the US reportedly offered a15-point plan to help bring the conflict to a close triggering a global rally ; Meanwhile Iran is said to have rejected the plan and kept up missile and drone attacks on Israel and Arab Gulf states in response to attacks on its own facilities, while the US continues to move new military assets into place ahead of Trump’s deadline to reopen the SoH.
