georgeclerk/iStock Unreleased via Getty Images Shares of UPS ( UPS ) and FedEx ( FDX ) surrendered gains and slipped into the red after a report from Supply Chain Drive said Amazon Shipping ( AMZN ) is targeting their customers with aggressive pricing and waived surcharges. Citing industry experts, Amazon Shipping’s ( AMZN ) ambitions to capture more of the corporate shipping market have the company wooing prospective customers with lower shipping rates, less complex pricing, and no surcharges on residential deliveries with savings of as much as 30% over FedEx ( FDX ) and UPS ( UPS ). “The momentum tells us businesses see the value it already offers, and we’re just getting started,” Jeff Helbling, VP of Business and Go-to-Market at Amazon Supply Chain Services, said in an emailed statement to Supply Chain Dive. In the past, Amazon Shipping ( AMZN ) went after customers with smaller packages largely delivered to metro destinations. The company eventually offered its shipping network to non-Amazon sellers eager to find alternatives to competitors’ high prices. By leveraging its huge fleet of trucks and delivery vans, Amazon ( AMZN ) had the infrastructure to offer shipping services beyond their own marketplace. Expanding further along the supply chain to offer end-to-end, multimodal logistics services, the company launched Amazon Supply Chain Services (ASCS) in May, offering freight services through the company’s fleet of tractor-trailer trucks, intermodal containers, and aircraft; distribution and fulfillment services; and parcel shipping to businesses of all types and sizes. “Supply chain wasn’t just a function at Amazon—it was core to providing an exceptional shopping experience. Our differentiator. The reason we could offer fast, dependable delivery that nobody else could. And with the launch of ASCS, we’re confident we can give any other business access to the same cost efficiency, reliability, and speed that we’ve built for Amazon customers,” Amazon’s VP of Supp...

watch now VIDEO 2:30 02:30 Trump: “We're never going to see Iran have a nuclear weapon” Squawk Box Europe For 48 hours in Ankara, Turkey, it felt as though the world was moving on Donald Trump's timetable . Markets lurched. NATO allies braced for confrontation. Ukraine searched for reassurance. Iran threatened to upend the agenda. One moment, leaders were preparing for diplomatic crisis; the next, they were describing a "love-in" with the very president many had feared would leave the alliance more divided than ever. I've covered hundreds of major international events over my 25 years at CNBC — G7, G8 and G20 summits, OPEC meetings, climate conferences and multiple trips to Ukraine. But I've never witnessed such dramatic reversals of fortune, affecting so many global players, compressed into just 48 hours. The NATO Summit wasn't simply another diplomatic gathering. It became a real-time demonstration of how quickly the geopolitical landscape can shift when President Trump is at the center of it. While major summits involving the U.S. inevitably revolve around Washington, this one felt different. It revolved not just around one country, but also around one individual. Think about everything that was in play. Iran. Russia's war in Ukraine. Greenland. European security. Spain's refusal to meet NATO's military spending targets. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy 's uncertain standing with Washington. Every major issue seemed to converge on one summit — and every one of them ultimately revolved around the U.S. president. To recount, every European NATO member — plus Canada — was effectively on trial coming into this gathering. Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth had again been aggressively criticizing NATO for its lack of support over Iran and for failing to spend anywhere near enough money on its own security. watch now VIDEO 1:26 01:26 Denmark will defend Greenland, says Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen Europe Early Edition In addition, the president took aim at Denmar...

Rescuers evacuate teachers, students and nearby residents trapped by floodwaters brought by Typhoon Maysak at a school campus in Guigang, Guangxi, on July 8. Photo: VCG The death toll from severe flooding and a reservoir collapse in southern China's Guangxi region has climbed to 39, with nine people still missing. The disaster highlights the vulnerability of the region's rural infrastructure to extreme weather while unleashing unusual secondary hazards, including displaced venomous snakes and escaped zoo animals. The Liulan Reservoir breach in the regional capital of Nanning accounted for the majority of the fatalities, claiming 26 lives, Vice Mayor Ding Wei told a Thursday press briefing. Authorities cautioned that the number of dead and missing could overlap as victim identification continues.

Amazon.com (NASDAQ: AMZN) completes $24.923B multi-tranche notes sale Stock Titan

Share one API key across five AI agents, and a single compromised agent inherits the reach of all five. The attacker immediately benefits from the accumulated permissions of every workflow that the key touches. The forensic trail goes cold at the credential level because five agents on one account leave no record of which agent did what. Sixty-nine percent of enterprises run agents with credential sharing somewhere in their deployments, according to VentureBeat’s June 2026 Pulse Research wave of 107 enterprises. That one number explains the buying spree reshaping enterprise security this year. Palo Alto Networks, CrowdStrike, and Cisco have collectively bet more than $22 billion on it in the past year, targeting exactly the layer most enterprises in this survey haven't finished building. Palo Alto Networks completed its acquisition of CyberArk on February 11 for $21.1 billion in total consideration at close — a deal it announced last July at roughly $25 billion and the largest in the company's history. CrowdStrike closed its $740 million acquisition of runtime authorization platform SGNL and, by June 15, shipped the first product from the deal, Continuous Identity for AI Agents . CrowdStrike integrated SGNL in less than a year, delivering a product that validates every agent action in real time based on who owns it, who is calling it, and the device's risk posture. Cisco announced its intent to acquire non-human identity specialist Astrix Security on May 4 for a reported $400 million . For a security director, this survey reads as a board-level question, not a trend line. It also surfaces a finding no competitor’s data shows, one that exposes which companies are the most at risk. The data below is the first look at VentureBeat’s Q2 Agentic Security report, drawn from 107 qualified respondents at organizations with more than 100 employees. The full report will be released to attendees at VB Transform , the event in Menlo Park next week (July 14-15) focusing on enterp...

Leirao/iStock via Getty Images Investment Thesis Optical Cable Corporation ( OCC ) is finally showing signs of demand from data centers, and now the backlog has grown a lot in the last two quarters, so revenue growth has accelerated, and operating leverage is beginning to translate that growth into higher profitability. I believe those improvements are real and likely sustainable, but after a nearly 300% rally this year, the market already appears to reflect much of that progress. While the long-term has clearly improved for the company, I don't see enough upside at today's valuation to justify a Buy rating, leading me to maintain a Hold. The Business Optical Cable manufactures fiber optic and copper cables along with the connectors and networking products needed to move data between buildings, factories, and data centers (I think you already know where the thesis is heading), so the products are part of the critical infrastructure that allows those systems to communicate. This is a highly competitive industry where Corning Incorporated ( GLW ) leads the market and whose quarterly sales alone are 12x Optical Cable's entire market capitalization. There are also other competitors like CommScope, Belden Inc. ( BDC ), and Prysmian S.p.A. ( PRYMY ) and Nexans S.A. ( NEXNY ) are part of the dominant manufacturers, while Optical Cable is a smaller participant that rarely appears among the industry's leading players. That isn't necessarily a disadvantage, and management has actually repeatedly said they aren't trying to compete head-on for hyperscale data center projects. Instead, the company focuses on enterprise networks and other specialized applications where its smaller size may be an advantage because customer relationships and specialized products matter more than scale. I would not expect that OCC to directly have any significant participation in Tier 1 or hyperscale data centers ... And of course, those growth in Tier 1 data centers in the market, can impact what k...

SK Hynix Inc. priced its US listing of American depositary receipts at $149 each, according to a person familiar with the matter who asked not to be identified as the information isn’t public. The company had offered 177.9 million ADRs, equivalent to 17.79 million common shares, according to an earlier filing with the US Securities and Exchange Commission. Each ADR is equivalent to a 10th of a common share. A spokesperson for SK Hynix didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment. At $149 per ADR, the offering would raise around $26.5 billion, data compiled by Bloomberg show. It would be the largest ever first-time share sale in the US by a foreign company, topping Alibaba Group Holding Ltd.’s $25 billion debut, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.

MarioGuti/iStock Unreleased via Getty Images Shares of Webster Financial ( WBS ) have been a strong performer over the past year, gaining about 30%. The company benefits from having one of the lowest-cost deposit bases, thanks to its strong HSA franchise, an area where I see prolonged secular growth. In fact, given this secular growth, Webster found buyout interest and is in the process of selling itself to Santander ( SAN ), which is seeking to expand its U.S. presence. However, the deal faces some uncertainty given Santander’s Spanish domicile. I last covered Webster Financial in January , reiterating shares as a “ B uy,” and the stock is up about 19% since then, validating my bullishness. With some questions over the Santander merger and with updated financials, now is a good time to revisit WBS. Seeking Alpha Looking first at M&A developments, Banco Santander announced a deal to acquire Webster in February. It is paying $48.75 in cash and 2.0548 SAN shares for each share of WBS. At the time of the deal, this was worth $75.59, and with SAN shares having risen a bit, it is now worth $77. This represented about a 15% premium to where WBS was trading, and it values Webster at above 2x book value. We generally have seen regional bank M&A in the 1.7-1.9x range, so this was an attractive multiple for WBS. Given its favorable deposit mix, I view this premium as justified. This acquisition will help scale Santander’s presence in the U nited States . It will become one of the top 10 US banks by size with over $300 billion in assets. Santander has steadily grown its presence in the United States to diversify away from the lower-margin European marketplace, acquiring Sovereign Bank during the financial crisis, and it also has an extremely large auto lending business. Webster’s low-cost deposits should help enhance margins, and Santander plans to have Webster leadership run its U.S. bank, speaking to the quality of Webster’s performance over the past few years. Shares are tr...
