Netgear is the first major vendor of consumer routers to obtain an exemption from the US government's sweeping ban on foreign-made routers. The Federal Communications Commission yesterday announced an exemption for Netgear's Nighthawk and Orbi routers, and its cable gateways and modems. It came about three weeks after the FCC said it would no longer approve consumer-grade routers made at least partly outside the US, except in cases where the Department of Defense or Department of Homeland Security determines that the router does not pose national security risks. Under the new router ban, the Trump administration decides—through an opaque process in which it's unclear why any particular company receives an exemption—which companies' devices can be sold to consumers. Netgear, which is based in the US, was able to move quickly through the multi-agency approval process. Read full article Comments

Artificial intelligence lab Anthropic is exploring the possibility of designing its own chips, three sources said, as the company and its rivals respond to a shortage of AI chips needed to power and develop more advanced AI systems. Samuel Boivin | Nurphoto | Getty Images Anthropic on Wednesday said it experienced elevated error rates across its Claude chatbot , its application programming interface and its coding assistant, Claude Code, according to the company's status page . As of 1:50 p.m. ET, all systems are operational. At around 12:30 p.m. ET, Anthropic said it has seen success rates for logins to its chatbot stabilize, and that it was working to "fully resolve this issue." The company began investigating errors at 10:53 a.m. ET, the status page said. Anthropic was founded in 2021 by a group of researchers and executives who defected from OpenAI, and was valued at $380 billion as of February. The company is best known for developing a family of artificial intelligence models called Claude, and its products, particularly Claude Code, have exploded in popularity over the last year. The startup had early success selling to large enterprises, as companies spend billions of dollars to deploy AI across their workforces. Anthropic is engaged in a fierce competition for enterprise market share against rivals, including Google and OpenAI , which was valued at $850 billion in its latest fundraising round in late March. On Downdetector, a site that logs user reports of internet issues, roughly 2,000 users were reporting issues with Claude as of 1:12 p.m. ET, down from roughly 6,000 users at 10:42 a.m. ET. Around 500 users were reporting issues by 1:34 p.m. ET.

hapabapa/iStock Editorial via Getty Images Introduction Since the last time I covered Workday, Inc. ( WDAY ), the company’s share price tumbled 45%, and now that we have the full-year performance out, I thought it would be a good time to revisit it. This massive reset in valuations, I think, was overdone, and I believe that there is a good opportunity for the long-term investor to invest in Workday at these levels. The Performance Let’s take a look at the overall top-line performance over the last year , now that we have all the information needed. In general, we can see that the company’s revenues have been trending in the right direction, with no meaningful slowdown that I can see. A 13.1% y/y increase overall is respectable. Subscription revenues were up 14.5% to $8.833B, while professional services declined slightly to $719m. Seeking Alpha Overall, the company saw revenue growth accelerating in the last quarter of the year, which is the opposite of some other companies that I covered in the past, which experienced a massive decline in their share price. The growth was very steady, and then it increased, while the share price declined by over 49% for the year. Author's build In terms of profitability, I can see that margins across the board improved quite a bit as well. Gross margins remained steady, while the largest improvement can be seen in the company’s EBIT and EBITDA margins. Both are improving by around 460 bps. That is quite a profitability boost. The management attributed the overall improvements to ongoing efficiencies, like slower headcount growth and process/AI-driven cost optimizations. Seeking Alpha An even more impressive metric that SA doesn’t capture is the company’s non-GAAP operating margin, which came in at around 30.5% for the year. I thought the EBITDA margin would be close to that, but it seems that the company does a lot more adjustments in general to get to such a number. Share-based compensation accounted for 15% of the increase, which ...

Gargolas/iStock via Getty Images Public Service Enterprise Group ( PEG ) down 1.3% in Wednesday's trading as Jefferies downgraded the utility to Hold from Buy with an $89 price target, citing lower confidence in a nuclear data center deal as New Jersey's ratepayer protection pledge reduces hyperscaler interest in contracting with existing assets without new generation. Jefferies analyst Paul Zimbardo said he had been hopeful that PSEG ( PEG ) would sign a virtual power purchase agreement and credit customers back some of the value, which is still a possibility but "we are not willing to ascribe material value" with a more intense focus on affordability; the company is helping pursue new nuclear at its site, but the analyst does not see this increasing the odds of securing an on-campus data center. Investors seem increasingly focused on PSEG's ( PEG ) transmission exposure with ~38% of FY 2025 rate base following the New England cut; Zimbardo said he sees the company's 9.9% base return on equity as safe but with vulnerability to legislation that would mandate RTO participation—"not "our base case, but this is an overhang on shares that is difficult to refute." PSEG's ( PEG ) strong story was derailed by high electric rates in 2025 and becoming the center of the election cycle with New Jersey Governor Sherrill focusing her attention on a utility rate freeze; "a solid utility story now needs to work within the confines of a less accommodating regime, leading to a slower pace of investments and increasing reliance on unregulated earnings growth," the analyst wrote.

Given the dramatic swings in sentiment and market returns, it is likely that by the time you receive this letter, much of what we say here will have changed. Market sentiment has been shifting rapidly, driven largely by recent developments in Iran and fluctuations in oil prices. As a result, making meaningful near-term forecasts is difficult, and making dramatic shifts in your portfolios could result in missed opportunities. Despite some pretty scary headlines, the market has held up better than expected and could rebound quickly if the conflict is resolved. If tensions persist for months, however, markets could gradually drift toward correction territory. Given the uncertainty around both duration and outcome, we are trying to look past the immediate geopolitical backdrop and focus on the outlook longer term. The economy has remained relatively resilient, valuations for many high-quality companies have become more reasonable, and earnings growth is expected to be strong this year. Therefore, we believe that the stock market can persevere.

White House Office of Management and Budget Director Russell Vought testifies before the House Budget Committee at the U.S. Capitol on April 15, 2026 in Washington, DC. Andrew Harnik | Getty Images White House Office of Management and Budget Director Russell Vought told lawmakers he could not estimate the total cost of the Iran war and that the Trump administration hadn't yet come up with a supplemental funding request to send to Congress. "We're not ready to come to you with a request; we're still working on it. We're working through to figure out what's needed in this fiscal year versus next fiscal year," Vought told members of the House Budget Committee on Wednesday. "Do you have a ballpark? Will it be more than $50 billion?" Rep. Veronica Escobar, D-Texas, asked. "I don't have a ballpark for you, congresswoman," Vought said. Professor Linda Bilmes, a public policy professor at Harvard University's Kennedy School, published an analysis this month that found the war could cost taxpayers $1 trillion .

AI agents can connect together, but they cannot think together. That’s a huge difference and a bottleneck for next-gen systems, says Outshift by Cisco’s SVP and GM Vijoy Pandey. As he describes the current state of AI: Agents can be stitched together in a workflow or plug into a supervisor model — but there's no semantic alignment, no shared context. They’re essentially working from scratch each go-around. This calls for next-level infrastructure, or what Pandey describes as the "internet of cognition." “Agents are not able to think together because connection is not cognition,” he said. “We need to get to a point where you are sharing cognition. That is the greater unlock.” Creating new protocols to support next-gen agent communication So what is shared cognition? It’s when AI agents or entities can meaningfully work together to solve for something net new that they weren’t trained for, and do it “100% without human intervention,” Pandey said on the latest episode of Beyond the Pilot . The Cisco exec analogizes it to human intelligence. Humans evolved over hundreds of thousands of years, first becoming intelligent individually, then communicating on a basic level (with gestures or drawings). That communication improved over time, eventually unlocking a ‘cognitive revolution’ and collective intelligence that allowed for shared intent and the ability to coordinate, negotiate, and ground and discover information. “Shared intent, shared context, collective innovation: That's the exact trajectory that's playing out in silicon today,” Pandey said. His team sees it as a “horizontal distributed assistance problem.” They are pursuing “distributed super intelligence” by codifying intent, context, and collective innovation as a set of rules, APIs, and capabilities within the infrastructure itself. Their approach is a set of new protocols: Semantic State Transfer Protocol (SSTP); Latent Space Transfer Protocol (LSTP); and Compressed State Transfer Protocol (CSTP). SSTP operate...

财联社4月16日讯（编辑 赵昊） 英国自动驾驶技术初创公司Wayve获得了来自AMD、Arm高通创投的新一轮投资，这些科技巨头的加入使其投资者阵容进一步扩大，同时也增强了其与谷歌旗下Waymo等竞争对手抗衡的实力。 当地时间周三（4月15日）发布的新闻稿写道，Wayve已获得来自AMD、Arm和高通创投的6000万美元投资，进一步扩大了其D轮融资规模。今年2月时，Wayve宣布其D轮融资筹集了12亿美元。 分析指出，尽管金额相对不大，但这笔投资具有明显的战略意义。Wayve的技术旨在让汽车实现自动驾驶，而无需依赖高精地图或在特定区域进行大量训练，这与Waymo等竞争对手的路径有所不同。 新闻稿写道，Wayve正在开发端到端的具身人工智能软件，该软件能够实现跨不同环境和车辆的点对点导航，涵盖L2+到L3/L4的自动驾驶，且无需依赖高清地图。 Wayve指出，“与专为特定车型或硬件配置打造的自动驾驶系统不同，Wayve AI Driver的目标是跨多种车辆平台和配置运行。” 当下，不同车企使用不同的芯片来驱动无人驾驶汽车，例如英伟达或高通的方案，Arm和AMD也都有参与汽车芯片的研发。在2月的12亿美元融资中，Wayve已宣布英伟达为投资方。 随着主要半导体厂商几乎全部入局，Wayve有望与这些公司展开更紧密合作，加速其技术商业化并向更多车企销售。 Wayve首席执行官Alex Kendall在接受采访时表示：“令人兴奋的是，这为我们的客户提供了选择不同芯片平台的自由，也让我们能够兼容行业中已经广泛使用的技术。” “我们可以在行业现有基础上推进，这将显著提升我们技术落地的速度和规模。” 目前，Wayve已在英国、德国、日本和美国测试其自动驾驶汽车，并已与日产达成商业合作，将其AI技术整合到驾驶辅助系统中。今年3月，双方与Uber还宣布将共同开发Robotaxi。 随着市场竞争加剧，Wayve面临的压力也在上升。其竞争对手，Alphabet旗下的Waymo也已在日本和英国开展测试。 周二，Waymo宣布其在伦敦的测试车辆已配备安全员上路，这是正式向公众提供载客服务前的重要一步，该公司计划在今年推出相关服务。

Bence Bezeredy/iStock Editorial via Getty Images In my view, Spotify ( SPOT ) is the go-to music streaming service, and I believe the "go-to" moat is what makes the company attractive at current levels. The company will be releasing its Q1 towards the end of April, and I will be looking for an encore performance to its Q4 release. When that was released in early February, the company reported strong user growth and better-than-expected earnings. This helped send shares up about 15% following the release. With the stock trading at the lower half of its 52-week range and still down about 10% YTD, I believe investors are afforded a reasonable entry point in a market leader, which I believe will remain dominant in the months and years ahead. SPOT Stock Key Metrics SPOT isn’t a discounted stock by any means. Shares are graded poorly on valuation by Seeking Alpha’s (“SA”) quant scores, and the multiples do rightly seem elevated. Its current forward earnings multiple, for example, stands at over 30x. In addition, its enterprise value hovers in the mid-20x to mid-30x range of both EBITDA and EBIT. Bargain hunters are likely not seeing basement bin pricing here. Seeking Alpha - Valuation Metrics Of SPOT Stock However, I believe the premium pricing is very much warranted. The company is reporting double-digit percentage sales growth and is crushing its earnings estimates. In its Q4 release, for example, SPOT beat its earnings estimates by a whopping €1.65/share. I also believe SPOT faces very little competition from other streaming alternatives, such as Apple ( AAPL ) Music and Amazon’s ( AMZN ) streaming service. Seeking Alpha - Growth Metrics Of SPOT Stock Sentiment across the analyst community is similarly bullish, with both the SA community and Wall Street highly bullish on SPOT’s prospects. And among Wall Street, consensus targets see over 20% upside potential remaining in the stock. Seeking Alpha - Average Price Target Of SPOT Stock I very much believe shares can reach ...

JulieAlexK/iStock via Getty Images By Garey J. Aitken, CFA and Timothy W. Caulfield Managing Volatility with Discipline Market Overview Canadian equities delivered gains in the first quarter, though the path was not linear. January and February were generally strong, supported by resilient risk appetite and continued leadership from select areas of the market. That changed abruptly in March as the onset of the Iran war introduced a new source of geopolitical instability and raised concerns around the security of oil shipments through the Strait of Hormuz. The resulting increase in energy prices added a new layer of uncertainty to the macro outlook, particularly through the potential knock-on effects on inflation expectations and interest rate policy. The S&P/TSX Composite Total Return Index (TRI) briefly fell into negative year-to-date territory during March before recovering to finish the quarter up 3.9%. While tariff risks and AI-related disruption remained important market themes during the quarter, both took somewhat of a back seat as investors shifted their attention toward the more immediate geopolitical and macroeconomic implications of higher oil prices. Market uncertainty has not disappeared, and concerns around the longer-term effects of AI on business models and industry structure continue to drive significant stock-level dispersion. However, by quarter end, the market’s focus had broadened to include the possibility that rising commodity prices, particularly in energy, could complicate the path of monetary easing and place renewed upward pressure on long-term yields. The macro backdrop at quarter end reflected these crosscurrents. WTI crude oil ended the quarter at $101.38 per barrel (in USD), while natural gas finished at $2.88 per mmcf. Gold hit an all-time high of $5,318 in January (in USD), then retraced in March to finish the quarter at $4,647 per ounce. While geopolitical uncertainty and broader macroeconomic concerns continued to support demand fo...

美国财政部长贝森特表示，美国不会延长此前允许在不面临美国制裁的情况下购买部分伊朗和俄罗斯石油的豁免许可。贝森特在白宫简报会上表示：“我们不会延长针对俄罗斯石油的通用许可，也不会延长针对伊朗石油的通用许可。这些许可适用于3月11日之前已经在海上的石油，现在都已经用完了。”这些举措标志着特朗普政府利用制裁豁免来释放更多石油供应、以压低飙升的全球能源价格的努力已经结束。 3月份，贝森特表示，美国财政部于3月20日发布的伊朗石油豁免，曾允许约1.4亿桶原油进入全球市场，在战争期间帮助缓解了能源供应压力。该豁免将于4月19日到期。
