Jan 28 (Reuters) - Artificial intelligence cloud startup PaleBlueDot AI has raised $150 million in a Series B funding round, valuing the company at more than $1 billion as it ​expands AI computing offerings in the United States and Asia, the company told Reuters. The ‌round was led by B Capital, as PaleBlueDot joins a crowded field of so-called "neocloud" companies seeking to meet surging ‌demand for AI computing power. PaleBlueDot said it planned to use the proceeds to buy Nvidia graphics processing units (GPUs) and related infrastructure and to hire staff to expand partnerships. The company plans to grow its two-pronged business model that targets both startups and large enterprises. One of PaleBlueDot’s clients is an overseas ⁠entity of Xiaohongshu, the popular Chinese ‌social media platform also known as RedNote, according to people familiar with the matter. The arrangement highlights how Chinese technology companies are navigating U.S. restrictions on accessing ‍Nvidia’s most advanced AI chips. While such firms cannot directly purchase the most advanced hardware, they can legally use it through data centers located outside China. The U.S. earlier this month cleared the way for Nvidia ​to sell its H200 chips to China, where demand remains strong. China has since approved ‌its first batch of the H200 AI chips for import, Reuters reported on Wednesday, as Beijing seeks to balance its AI development needs with efforts to support domestic chipmakers. PaleBlueDot operates a marketplace that brokers spare GPU capacity from third parties to early-stage AI companies, most of which are based in the U.S. Its other main business line involves designing large-scale, dedicated GPU clusters for ⁠enterprise customers, often in colocation data centers run by ​firms such as Digital Realty and Equinix. The company says ​it has a strong enterprise customer base in Japan, South Korea and Singapore and plans to expand further across Southeast Asia. Headquartered in Palo Alto, PaleBl...

primeimages/E+ via Getty Images Market Overview The MSCI Emerging Markets Index returned 4.73% in Q4 2025 (in USD) taking CY 2025 returns to 33.57% and marking its strongest performance in 8 years, outperforming developed markets over the year. Emerging Markets equities continued their positive trajectory in Q4 2025, building on their strong performance relative to most developed markets in 2025. This robust performance was underpinned by a combination of factors including continued enthusiasm for technology and AI-related sectors, resilient domestic demand in several economies, and targeted policy support from governments and central banks. During the quarter, EM equities continued to benefit from regional diversification as weakness in China was offset by North Asia, EM Europe and LatAm region. While headline index valuation has increased modestly to a one-year forward PE ratio of 13.5x, most EM pockets are still trading at a wide discount to US equities and other key regions globally. India equity markets demonstrated robust upward momentum throughout Q4 2025, with domestic benchmark indices extending their gains and hovering near all-time highs. During the quarter, market performance continued to be driven by strong corporate earnings, a notable turnaround in foreign institutional investor (FII) flow towards the latter half of the quarter, sustained domestic institutional investor (DII) support, benign inflation and resilient macroeconomic fundamentals. China equity markets were pressure in Q4 2025 following a strong run in the first three quarters of the year. We saw some profit taking following this strong performance particularly in the Consumer Discretionary and Communication Services sectors. In addition, underwhelming economic data, soft retail sales and continued property sector slowdown remained as headwinds to market performance. While targeted policy support particularly in technology related sectors provided some impetus, overall investor sentiment re...

Match of the Day’s viewing figures have increased considerably this season in a vindication of the BBC’s new digital strategy, according to data obtained by the Guardian. Traditional linear viewing of the Saturday and Sunday evening highlights programmes had declined by 770,000 to 6.88 million average weekly views last month compared with December 2024 but MOTD has gained 1.52 million viewers by making highlight clips available on its website and app at 8pm on Saturdays for the first time. The combined viewing figures for MOTD on iPlayer covering the evening programmes and highlights clips had risen to 61.9 million this season by the end of December, a big increase on the 45.4 million views by the same period last season. The digital consumption of MOTD has almost doubled since the 2022-23 season, when the total figure by December was 33.1 million. The BBC announced its 8pm digital highlights offering at the start of a new four-year deal with the Premier League in August, describing it as a “gamechanging way to stay immersed in the action”, and has been pleased by the public’s response. The corporation’s sports team are increasingly invested in clip rights, particularly in football, and have signed highlights deals with La Liga and the Bundesliga this season. The 10% drop in viewing figures for MOTD’s Saturday and Sunday evening highlights programmes on BBC One and BBC Two follows the departure of Gary Lineker as presenter of the former programme last summer after 26 years. The BBC opted not to sign a like-for-like replacement for the former England striker, with Mark Chapman, Gaby Logan and Kelly Cates sharing presenting duties across both days. The BBC declined to comment, but sources said the decline in linear viewers was consistent with trends across live TV. The Guardian was unable to obtain MOTD viewing figures in isolation for the Saturday programme, so any impact of Lineker’s departure is hard to assess.

Ed Schlesinger, executive vice president and chief financial officer, said, "In 2025, we delivered double-digit core sales growth, with core EPS growing twice as fast as sales and adjusted free cash flow growing three times as fast. We expanded core operating margin and core ROIC 180 and 120 basis points, respectively. We significantly enhanced our financial profile and positioned the company to generate even more profit and cash going forward on our upgraded Springboard growth plan." Weeks continued, "Excitingly, we have even stronger long-term growth ahead. Today, we are upgrading our original Springboard plan to now add $11 billion in incremental annualized sales by the end of 2028, up from our original $8-billion plan." Wendell P. Weeks, chairman, chief executive officer, and president, said, "Since the launch of Springboard two years ago, we have transformed Corning’s financial profile: From Q4-2023 to Q4-2025, we expanded core operating margin by 390 basis points to 20.2%, and expanded core ROIC 540 basis points to 14.2%, while nearly doubling adjusted free cash flow to $1.72 billion for full-year 2025. We now have a highly profitable launch point for future growth." Fourth-quarter GAAP results: Sales were $4.22 billion, gross margin was 35.5%, operating margin was 15.9%, EPS was $0.62, and operating cash flow was $1.05 billion. Full-year GAAP results: Sales were $15.63 billion, gross margin was 36.0%, operating margin was 14.6%, EPS was $1.83, and operating cash flow was $2.70 billion. In Q1, management expects YoY growth to accelerate, with core sales up ~15% to a range of $4.2 billion to $4.3 billion, and core EPS growing to a range of $0.66 to $0.70. Story Continues Schlesinger continued, "We enter 2026 with exciting momentum. In Q1, we expect year-over-year growth to accelerate, with core sales up approximately 15% to a range of $4.2 billion to $4.3 billion, and core EPS growing to a range of $0.66 to $0.70.

In this article LUV Follow your favorite stocks CREATE FREE ACCOUNT watch now VIDEO 5:54 05:54 Southwest Airlines ended its decades long open-seating policy Airlines OVER THE PACIFIC OCEAN — The 112 passengers on this Southwest Airlines red-eye flight from Honolulu to Los Angeles were the last in the airline's more than 54-year history to scramble for a seat on board. Before dawn on Tuesday, Southwest ended its quirky (or anxiety-inducing, depending on the traveler) open-seating policy in favor of assigned seats for all customers as the carrier that prided itself on marching to its own drum becomes more like its rivals , under pressure to increase revenue. The change means that all Southwest passengers will know exactly where they will be sitting before they board, and some of them will pay more than $70 per leg to have a new, roomy spot up front. Prices vary . CNBC flew on the last open-seating flight and hopped on one of the first with seat assignments to talk to passengers and crew about how they felt about the change. Their feelings were mixed. "It's overdue, honestly," said Lisa Tate, 33, a teacher from Honolulu, who was traveling to Atlanta via Las Vegas on Monday. "I like the reassurance that I can sit with my loved ones. It makes the situation less stressful." Vicki Economou, a 68-year-old based in Houston, who is in the process of retiring from running a family restaurant, felt otherwise. "Now they're like everybody else, and nothing is setting them apart," she said. Economou said she might consider flying other airlines after years of Southwest loyalty because she doesn't want to pay for seats. "I'm not real happy about it," she said. "I think that there are people that are getting money hungry."

伊拉克前总理努里·马利基28日通过社交媒体表示，坚决反对美国公然干涉伊拉克内政。 马利基说，美方干涉是对伊拉克主权的侵犯，是对2003年后伊拉克建立的民主制度的破坏。他表示，对话是国家间唯一可行的政治途径，不应诉诸“命令”和“威胁”。 美国总统特朗普27日在社交媒体发文称，如果马利基再度当选总理，美国将不再援助伊拉克。特朗普称，重新任命马利基为总理将是伊拉克“非常糟糕的选择”。由于马利基的“政策和意识形态”，如果他当选，“美国将不再帮助伊拉克”。 马利基2006年至2014年连续两届出任伊拉克总理，现为“法治国家联盟”领导人。本月24日，伊拉克新一届国民议会最大党团“协调框架联盟”宣布提名马利基为新任总理人选。(新华社)

Welcome to Tech In Depth, our daily newsletter about the business of tech from Bloomberg’s journalists around the world. Today, Matt Day looks at the promised sales coming to Big Tech’s cloud units fueled by AI demand. Tech Across the Globe More OpenAI money: Masayoshi Son’s SoftBank is in discussions to invest as much as $30 billion more in OpenAI, a sharp increase in commitment from the Japanese tech investor and AI evangelist. France mulls youth social media ban: Lawmakers in France’s national assembly passed a bill banning children younger than 15 from accessing popular social media sites such as Instagram. The proposal now goes to the senate. Exceptional ASML: The Dutch lithography machine maker reported orders that far exceeded expectations, a record $15.8 billion in bookings for the December quarter, powering its shares to a fresh high. China is its biggest customer. Revalued Y Combinator, the US startup incubator behind companies like DoorDash and Airbnb, will no longer invest in firms located in Canada . The removal of Canada from Y Combinator’s list of places where it will fund startups threatens to further fuel anxiety about the country’s tech ecosystem, which struggles to compete with the larger and better-funded US market. Planning ahead Much of the attention around Big Tech during earnings season lands on growth rates, or how fast sales are rising at Amazon Web Services, Microsoft’s Azure unit and Google Cloud Platform. As we get set for Big Cloud’s latest reports, which kick off with Microsoft on Wednesday, it’s worth keeping an eye on another metric, one that typically doesn’t make the press releases: the backlog of sales these companies are set to earn down the line as part of multiyear deals. This figure — remaining performance obligations, in finance speak — illustrates the shifting competitive dynamics as artificial intelligence companies like OpenAI and Anthropic make enormous commitments to the cloud providers whose servers power their AI model...

Jan. 28, 2026, 5:02 a.m. MT William Crosby was looking to take a break from his job in sales, and saw that Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. needed thousands of technicians. He started the application process, then got an email from Grand Canyon University, announcing a training program for semiconductor technicians. Called the Manufacturing Specialist Intensive Pathway, the one-semester long, evening course, paid for by TSMC, would give him a fast-track to learning about the industry and get him an interview with TSMC when he finished. He enrolled in the program, and after completing it, was hired by TSMC.
