Amazon or Microsoft, which is the better stock? Asked to compare Amazon with Microsoft, Rohinton said the two names are close, but gave a slight edge to Microsoft iA Global Asset Management analyst Dan Rohinton said Amazon (Amazon Stock Quote, Chart, News, Analysts, Financials NASDAQ:AMZN) looks well-positioned heading into 2026 after lagging the broader market in 2025, creating what he views as an attractive setup for durable growth. Speaking on BNN Bloomberg’s Market Call on Jan. 2, Rohinton said Amazon’s North American retail business has quietly become “wildly profitable,” while the longer-term investment case remains centred on Amazon Web Services. “What you’re really playing for is AWS,” Rohinton said. “All of the major tech platforms, Netflix, Spotify, were built on AWS, and the next wave of AI-related companies is going to be hosted there as well. That keeps accelerating the growth rate.” Rohinton said Amazon is benefiting from improving profitability across divisions, even as it moves through another heavy investment cycle tied to artificial intelligence and cloud infrastructure. He added that the stock trades at a relatively low valuation compared with its own history, making the risk-reward compelling. Asked to compare Amazon with Microsoft, Rohinton said the two names are close, but gave a slight edge to Microsoft due to more visible, supply-constrained demand. “With Microsoft, the demand is basically guaranteed,” he said. “Amazon is almost certain, but Microsoft is more obviously bottlenecked.” Amazon shares have gained 3.3% over the past 12 months and are up more than 41% over five years. Of the analysts covering Amazon, 82 rate it a “Buy,” three rate it “Hold,” and none rate it “Sell,” with a consensus target price of US$297.47. -30-

March arabica coffee (KCH26) today is up +13.30 (+3.70%). March ICE robusta coffee (RMH26) is up +63 (+1.61%). Coffee prices are sharply higher today, with arabica posting a 4-week high. Below-average rainfall in Brazil, the world's largest arabica producer, is supporting arabica coffee. Somar Meteorologia reported Monday that Brazil's largest arabica coffee-growing area, Minas Gerais, received 47.9 mm of rain during the week ended January 2, or 67% of the historical average. Also, strength in the Brazilian real is supportive for arabica coffee. The real (^USDBRL) rallied to a 1-month high against the dollar today, discouraging export sales from Brazil's coffee producers. Don’t Miss a Day: Gains in robusta coffee are contained amid soaring coffee exports from Vietnam, the world's largest robusta producer. Vietnam's National Statistics Office reported on Monday that Vietnam's 2025 coffee exports jumped +17.5% y/ to 1.58 MMT. Shrinking ICE coffee inventories are bullish for prices. ICE-monitored arabica inventories fell to a 1.75-year low of 398,645 bags on November 20, although they recovered to a 2-month high of 456,477 bags on December 24. ICE robusta coffee inventories fell to a 1-year low of 4,012 lots on December 10 but recovered to a 4-week high of 4,278 lots on December 23 and 24. American buyers shunned Brazilian coffee purchases due to previous high tariffs on US imports from Brazil. Those US tariffs have since been cut, but US coffee inventories are still tight. US purchases of Brazilian coffee from August through October, during which President Trump's tariffs were in effect, dropped by 52% from the same period last year to 983,970 bags. The outlook for ample coffee supplies is weighing on prices. On December 4, Conab, Brazil's crop forecasting agency, raised its total Brazil 2025 coffee production estimate by 2.4% to 56.54 million bags, from a September estimate of 55.20 million bags. Increased Vietnamese coffee supplies are bearish for prices. Vietnam's ...

Posts from this author will be added to your daily email digest and your homepage feed. CES 2026 live: all the news, announcements, and innovations from the show floor and beyond Mammotion, the company best known for its line of robot lawnmowers, is launching a robot pool cleaner that can take itself out of the water. As shown during CES 2026, the Spino S1 Pro comes with a robotic arm mounted to a docking station that sits at the edge of your pool. When the bot is ready to charge, the Spino S1 Pro uses an underwater communication system to guide itself to the docking station, which lifts the device up and out of the water. To clean, it uses an onboard camera and several sensors to navigate your pool while identifying messy areas, steps, edges, corners, and obstacles. Image: Mammotion The Spino S1 Pro comes with five brushless motors and treads that grip the bottom and sides of your pool, pumping up to 6,800 gallons per hour through its dual-layer filter to capture silt, sand, and other debris. Mammotion says the device can maintain connectivity within a 10-meter radius of its dock, but the company doesn’t mention how long its battery will last, and whether it’ll be longer than the up to 210 minutes (3.5 hours) offered by the Spino E1. The Spino S1 Pro will launch in the first quarter of this year, “with final specs and pricing to be revealed,” according to Mammotion.
"The HERIZON-GEA-01 results are encouraging, with median overall survival for tislelizumab plus zanidatamab and chemotherapy surpassing two years, an outcome that marks a significant advancement in the treatment of metastatic HER2+ gastroesophageal adenocarcinoma," said Manish Shah, M.D., Chief of the Solid Tumor Service and Director of Gastrointestinal Oncology at Weill Cornell Medicine and a med...
"The HERIZON-GEA-01 results are encouraging, with median overall survival for tislelizumab plus zanidatamab and chemotherapy surpassing two years, an outcome that marks a significant advancement in the treatment of metastatic HER2+ gastroesophageal adenocarcinoma," said Manish Shah, M.D., Chief of the Solid Tumor Service and Director of Gastrointestinal Oncology at Weill Cornell Medicine and a medical oncologist at NewYork-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical Center, who serves as a paid advisory board member for Jazz Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and BeOne Medicines Ltd. "Unlike prior studies in HER2+ GEA with checkpoint blockade therapy, the addition of tislelizumab demonstrated meaningful activity even in TAP PD-L1 < 1%, suggesting a potential new treatment option for this subgroup, while broadening choices for patients with PD-L1 ≥1%." HERIZON-GEA-01 met the dual primary endpoint of progression-free survival (PFS), demonstrating statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvements in both experimental arms compared to the control arm. The addition of TEVIMBRA to ZIIHERA and chemotherapy also showed a statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvement in overall survival (OS) (mOS: 26.4 months, HR=0.72 [95% CI: 0.57, 0.90]; P =0.0043), resulting in a 28% reduction in the risk of death and a greater than 7-month improvement in mOS. These PFS and OS benefits were observed in the ZIIHERA plus TEVIMBRA and chemotherapy arm versus the control arm regardless of PD-L1 expression level, with approximately one-third of enrolled patients with tumors classified as PD-L1 < 1%. ZIIHERA plus chemotherapy showed a clinically meaningful survival benefit with a mOS of 24.4 months, a strong trend toward statistical significance at the time of this first interim analysis for OS. SAN CARLOS, Calif., January 06, 2026 --( BUSINESS WIRE )-- BeOne Medicines Ltd. (Nasdaq: ONC; HKEX: 06160; SSE: 688235), a global oncology company, today announced full results from the Phase...

Advanced Micro Devices CEO Lisa Su unveiled the company’s upcoming data center platform during her keynote at CES 2026 in Las Vegas on Monday, offering the first detailed look at the Helios system and new insight into how it will be built. Su brought a full Helios rack unit on stage and described it as the “world’s best AI rack,” a remark widely interpreted as a direct challenge to rival Nvidia. Nvidia (NVDA) currently sets the benchmark for rack-scale AI systems and debuted its latest platform, the Vera Rubin NVL72, at CES on Monday. AMD’s Helios is positioned to compete directly with Nvidia’s NVL systems, matching the NVL72’s configuration of 72 Rubin GPUs with 72 of AMD’s MI455X chips. READ: AMD CEO dismisses AI spending concerns, projects $1 trillion data center market by 2030 ( Alongside Helios, AMD also shared additional details about its upcoming MI500 series data center GPUs, announcing that the new lineup is expected to deliver up to a 1,000x increase in AI performance compared to the company’s current MI300X GPUs. During her keynote, Su also outlined AMD’s broader vision for the future of artificial intelligence. She said the company believes that around five billion people will be using AI every day within the next five years. To meet that demand, she added, technology companies will need to expand global computing capacity by 100 times in the coming years—a level of growth that would benefit both AMD and Nvidia. AMD also highlighted its growing presence in the robotics sector. Su invited Generative Bionics CEO Daniele Pucci on stage to unveil the company’s humanoid robot for the first time. Powered by AMD CPUs and GPUs, the robot, named GENE.01, is designed to operate in industrial environments. AMD is an investor in Generative Bionics.

Nvidia announced today at CES 2026 that it would help Siemens’ electronic design automation (EDA) software run on its GPUs in an attempt to speed up the chip-design process. Nearly all computer chips today are designed using EDA tools, and as chip features get smaller and transistors more numerous, the process has grown more computationally intensive. Beyond speeding chip development, Nvidia and Siemens are aiming to create digital facsimiles, from chips to entire racks, to test their function before they’re built. “What we are hoping for, and the reason why we’re partnering so closely together, is so that we could build that Vera Rubin in the future as a digital twin,” Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said today at the Siemens keynote.
