Reuters said that the company declined to comment on any investigation, while the Federal Trade Commission did not respond to requests. Arm Holdings plc (ARM) to Face US Antitrust Probe over Chip Tech, Bloomberg News Reports The firm said in a statement that Qualcomm made a “baseless allegation of anticompetitive conduct” to gain leverage in an ongoing dispute, while Qualcomm did not comment, Reuters reported.

Everyone Talks About The Cost Of Gasoline... Soon Everyone Will Be Talking About The Cost Of Food Authored by Michael Snyder via The Economic Collapse Blog. For most people, the price of gasoline is the most obvious consequence of the war in the Middle East. As I write this article, the average price of a gallon of gasoline in the United States is $4.56 . Of course, in some parts of the country, consumers are paying much more than that. This is a big story, and the truth is that gasoline prices are going to go even higher in the months ahead. But if you think that the price of gasoline is bad, just wait until you see what eventually happens to food prices. The price of diesel has been rising even faster than the price of regular gasoline, and fertilizer prices have been absolutely skyrocketing. Those costs will get passed along to the rest of us. It is just a matter of time. Meanwhile, our farmers are dealing with drought conditions that are unprecedented, and now a “Super El Niño” is coming. What all of this means is that food prices will rise to very painful levels. So even though everyone is complaining about rising gasoline prices at the moment, one prominent economist is warning that “the next story is food” … The cost of food in the U.S. appears poised to rise sharply alongside oil prices, as war-related supply disruptions put pressure on the companies and farmers who keep the country’s shelves stocked. “The big story right now is oil,” economist Justin Wolfers told MS NOW on Tuesday. “The next story is food.” Oil prices have risen over 50 percent since the conflict began on February 28, pushing gas prices to a nationwide average of over $4.50 for the first time since 2022. Can you imagine what would happen if food prices were to rise another 50 percent from current levels? Over the past year, many of the most common items that Americans purchase at the grocery store have already become much more expensive … When compared to the same time last year, fruits and...

Simon X. Benito, chairman of Inovio’s board of directors, presided over the virtual meeting. Rob Crotty, Inovio’s general counsel, corporate secretary and chief compliance officer, said a quorum was present based on a preliminary count of shares represented by proxy. Get Inovio Pharmaceuticals alerts: Sign Up The board nominees elected were Simon Benito, Roger D. Dansey, Ann C. Miller, Jacqueline Shea, Jay Shepard, David B. Weiner, Wendy Yarno and Lota Zoth. Shareholders also approved, on a non-binding advisory basis, the compensation of Inovio’s named executive officers, and approved an amendment and restatement of the company’s amended and restated 2023 Omnibus Incentive Plan. Crotty said the company expects to report preliminary voting results, or final results if available, in a Form 8-K filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission within four days after the meeting. Inovio Highlights INO-3107 Regulatory Progress Following the formal portion of the meeting, Dr. Jackie Shea, Inovio’s chief executive officer, provided an update on the company’s progress and priorities.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is one of the driving forces behind the S&P 500 's roughly 80% five-year gain, and enthusiasm remains high. Issuers of exchange-traded funds (ETFs) are meeting demand for broad exposure, packing AI stocks into various easy-to-own funds. That's led to growth in the dedicated AI ETF universe.Yet, even with all the success of large-cap AI equities, dedicated AI ETFs as a group aren't as large as many investors may believe. This corner of the ETF market holds just $49 billion in assets under management. A possible explanation is that many investors already have substantial AI exposure through S&P 500 ETFs and funds tracking the technology sector. Those products are efficient and often less expensive than dedicated AI ETFs. From another perspective, AI ETFs need to stand out to captivate investors. The VistaShares Artificial Intelligence Supercycle ETF (NYSEMKT: AIS) does just that. This ETF with $566 million in net assets is about 1.5 years old, and there's plenty to its story.

But the cyclically adjusted price-to-earnings (CAPE) ratio is arguably one of the most useful, because it is derived using the market's inflation-adjusted earnings over a 10-year period. That smooths out short-term fluctuations and gives investors a more reliable picture of long-term stock valuations. At the time of writing, the broad-market S&P 500 index trades at a CAPE ratio of 41, which is significantly higher than its century-plus average of 17. Things get even more alarming when you consider that there are only two other times in history when the market has been in this range. The first was in 1929, when the CAPE ratio hit 32.6. A few months later, stocks began a crash that would take them down 83% and start the Great Depression. The CAPE ratio didn't surpass that peak again until the late 1990s and early 2000s, when it achieved a new all-time high of 44.19 before crashing substantially as the dot-com bubble burst.

FRANKFURT/BRUSSELS, May 25 (Reuters) - The European Union is planning to fine Alphabet's Google a high triple-digit million euro amount as part of an antitrust investigation, Germany's Handelsblatt newspaper reported, citing commission sources. The decision is nearing completion and is expected to be officially announced before the summer break, the paper said, adding it would be the highest fine the EU has ever imposed for a breach of the new Digital Markets Act (DMA). The investigation, which was officially launched in March 2025, relates to concerns that Google favours its own services in search results and seeks to ensure the world's most popular internet search engine complies with local regulation. The European Commission and Google were not immediately available for comment. Earlier this month, the European Commission said it had given Google a little bit more time to sooth concerns after a previous proposal from the company fell short.

First, welcome to all who have joined us for the first time. Your participation in the CNBC Investing Club means a great deal to us. We aspire to get it right for you, in the same way a wonderful Club member explained this weekend as we gardened together. He couldn't believe how much he had learned and how much he had prospered from it. I can only express gratitude to him. Here's why — from 1983 to 1987 at Goldman Sachs and from 1987 until 2001 at Cramer & Co, I succeeded in the process of making money for the richest people in the world. It meant little to most of them. I was part of some allocation. I crushed it, for lack of a better verb, but I got thanks from only one soul — a very rich and creative one — and no one else. But that's not the way it works now at the Club. My gardener friend expressed joy in learning about stocks. It wasn't because the cost is a microscopic percentage of what I used to charge. It was because he could figure out why stocks went up and down. We discussed the disappointment with Microsoft and whether it should be kicked out. I expressed my doubts about the company in the age of artificial intelligence and what it could do to the core, clunky Windows product, but I doubted that Amy Hood, the incredible CFO at the cloud and software giant, would tolerate that much underperformance. I pondered whether I had come to be too close to Marc Benioff, a special man who invented a company with a product that I loved, and here I am talking about Salesforce with its $40 billion in revenue. It's a small position in the Club portfolio and now a painful one. I want to give Salesforce and struggling Nike one more quarter — and then, I will have to try a lunch of "crow a la mode." Nike gets the chance if only because the last quarterly conference call gave it the slim right to endure the endless pain. It's up or nothing. Mostly, we talked about the winners, including our two "own, don't trade" names, Apple and Nvidia . The quiet upward propulsion of Ap...

Retail participation in cryptocurrencies is growing as platforms simplify onboarding, enhance user experience and align with evolving regulations. The Federal Reserve’s recent stance is expected to support trading activity and transaction volumes, while investments in artificial intelligence (AI) and technology should improve long-term efficiency despite near-term cost pressures. Amid this backdrop, which stock among Coinbase Global Inc. COIN or Interactive Brokers Group, Inc. IBKR is better positioned for sustainable growth? Meanwhile, stablecoins, tokenization and decentralized finance (DeFi) are strengthening the connection between traditional finance and digital assets, expanding user-friendly crypto services beyond basic trading. The Case for COIN Coinbase recently achieved a key milestone after receiving conditional approval from the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) to establish a national trust bank. The development enhances its competitive standing and reflects the growing integration of the cryptocurrency industry with traditional financial services. The company is rapidly expanding its global footprint. Coinbase Australia Pty Ltd obtained an Australian Financial Services Licence (AFSL), enabling the firm to offer crypto and equity perpetuals, with futures and options expected to follow. Coinbase now operates in several major international markets, including Australia, Brazil, Kenya, the European Union, India, Japan, the Philippines, Indonesia, Singapore, the United Kingdom and Switzerland. This broad geographic presence supports revenue diversification and lowers dependence on the U.S. market. To strengthen growth, Coinbase continues expanding across spot and derivatives trading while broadening its product offerings. The company is adding new cryptocurrencies and tokenized equities aligned with a pro-crypto environment. It has also introduced regulated futures trading in Europe for assets such as Bitcoin and Solana, along with equity-index ...

Nvidia (NVDA 1.86%) is still the cream of the crop of artificial intelligence (AI) stocks. It continues to post nearly unbelievable results, yet lately the market has been unwilling to show it the love that it's showing to some of its competitors. I think that makes Nvidia a perfect AI stock to invest in right now, as it's actually being underhyped compared to its performance -- particularly in light of the results it delivered Wednesday. Nvidia blew expectations out of the water For Nvidia, Q1 was just another quarter of outperforming expectations. Management had told investors to expect $78 billion in revenue, plus or minus 2%. Instead, its top line grew 85% year over year to $81.6 billion, easily outperforming that guidance. Yet the stock dipped. As of late Friday, it was down more than 4% for the week. The most remarkable thing about its growth rate is that it's accelerating. Look at what Nvidia's growth curve looked like prior to Q1's results, and it becomes obvious that the company is only getting stronger. It's a bit mind-bending to think that Nvidia, the largest company in the world, is nearly doubling its revenue year over year and that its growth rate is re-accelerating. When a company is growing this fast, I also like to look at the quarter-over-quarter growth to determine if this growth rate represents long-term or short-term strength. In Q1, Nvidia's revenue rose 20% quarter over quarter. When other tech giants like Microsoft, Apple, or Alphabet grow at a 20% year-over-year rate, we celebrate and talk about how strong a quarter they had. Nvidia is achieving that growth in a fourth of the time. These results show that the AI build-out is still picking up steam, and Nvidia is the premier company to invest in to take advantage of it. Despite its more rapid growth, Nvidia trades at a similar level to the other tech megacaps mentioned above. In my view, this shows that Nvidia is far undervalued compared to the other three. As a result of the market's current...

When it released quarterly results, Nvidia (NVDA 1.86%) surprised investors by announcing a 2,400% increase to its dividend, ratcheting up the payout to $0.25 per share per quarter from a measly $0.01 per share. That takes the semiconductor stock's dividend yield to 0.4%. While that's less than half the yield on the S&P 500, it is more in line with yields on other mega-cap stocks and the Nasdaq-10...
When it released quarterly results, Nvidia (NVDA 1.86%) surprised investors by announcing a 2,400% increase to its dividend, ratcheting up the payout to $0.25 per share per quarter from a measly $0.01 per share. That takes the semiconductor stock's dividend yield to 0.4%. While that's less than half the yield on the S&P 500, it is more in line with yields on other mega-cap stocks and the Nasdaq-100. That index, one in which Nvidia is the largest component, yields 0.4%. An interesting footnote about Nvidia's enhanced dividend status is that many dividend exchange-traded funds (ETFs) weren't prepared for the increase. Still, the WisdomTree U.S. Quality Dividend Growth Fund (DGRW +0.39%) was. It's interesting why that's the case. DGRW does things differently Explaining why the 13-year-old, $16.7 billion WisdomTree ETF has, as of May 20, an 8.8% weight (higher than the S&P 500's exposure to the stock, by the way) to Nvidia isn't difficult. Many legacy dividend ETFs focus on yield or the length of payout-increase streaks. This ETF does neither, meaning it can include low-yielding stocks. That explains why the ETF has a 32.1% weight to tech stocks, which is high among dividend ETFs. The WisdomTree fund tracks the WisdomTree U.S. Quality Dividend Growth Index, which focuses on growth and quality factors rather than past dividend growth or yield. Said differently, the index attempts to get a handle on what future dividends from holdings will look like, not what's in the past. So because Nvidia met the index's five-year earnings and sales growth parameters as well as its three-year return on equity (ROE) and return on assets (ROA) mandates, the stock commanded podium positioning in the fund despite little attention paid to the dividend.

A spike in energy costs hasn’t yet turned into second-round effects in other parts of the euro-area economy, according to outgoing European Central Bank Governing Council member Francois Villeroy de Galhau . “So far, we have not yet seen this spillover effect, but we are extremely vigilant regarding the risk of rising inflation expectations,” he told Le Figaro newspaper in an interview. “Households and businesses can trust us to bring inflation back to 2% over the medium term — we won’t hesitate to take action to achieve this if necessary.” Villeroy will retire as Bank of France governor in June. That means he won’t be in office anymore when ECB interest-rate setters meet on June 10-11 in Frankfurt, where they are widely expected to hike borrowing costs by a quarter point.
