Coinbase (NASDAQ: $COIN ) is pushing its Base network deeper into AI payments with a new tool that lets agents interact with onchain apps from chat. The company announced Base MCP on Tuesday, adding a Model Context Protocol server that connects a user’s Base Account to AI interfaces such as Claude, ChatGPT, Codex and Cursor. Once installed, the tool lets users ask an agent to check balances, view transaction history, send funds, swap tokens and use supported Base apps. The launch adds another layer to Coinbase’s broader effort to make Base a settlement and activity layer for agentic commerce. Base MCP arrives with skill plugins for Morpho, Moonwell, Aerodrome, Bankr, Avantis, Virtuals and Uniswap, giving agents access to lending markets, liquidity pools, swaps, perps and token activity across the Base ecosystem. Coinbase is also tying the rollout to x402, its payment standard for small internet transactions. Together, MCP-style communication and x402 payments are meant to support a new category of commerce built around microtransactions for research, data and online services. That market is still early. A recent Keyrock report put agent-based transactions at $73 million over the past year, a small figure compared with Visa’s $14.5 trillion in annual payment volume. The number shows how experimental the category remains, even as Coinbase, Stripe, Visa (NYSE: $V ) and Google (NASDAQ: $GOOGL ) continue building around AI-driven payments. Base’s design keeps the user in the approval loop. The agent can prepare a transaction, but the Base Account opens separately so the user can review asset changes and approve or reject the request before anything moves onchain. The Base MCP server also does not hold or access private keys. For Coinbase, the product extends a familiar strategy: make Base easier to use, pull more activity into the ecosystem and position crypto rails as infrastructure for AI-native payments. Coinbase Global Inc. (NASDAQ: COIN) is currently trading at $184...

A woman fired by an Indiana university over her Facebook post criticizing far-right commentator Charlie Kirk after he was killed will receive $225,000 to settle a lawsuit that accused her former employer of violating her free speech rights, the woman’s attorneys said Tuesday. The American Civil Liberties Union announced the settlement in a federal lawsuit it filed last year on behalf of Suzanne Swierc against Ball State University president Geoffrey Mearns. Swierc worked as director of health promotion and advocacy at Ball State’s campus in Muncie, Indiana, before she was fired last September. Ball State cited Swierc’s private Facebook post about Kirk as the sole reason for her termination, saying it caused “significant disruption” to the campus. Swierc’s firing violated her constitutional rights because she was “speaking as a private citizen on a matter of public concern”, said Stevie Pactor, an ACLU attorney in Indiana. “The First Amendment does not allow government institutions to retaliate in those circumstances, and this settlement reflects that,” Pactor said in a statement. Mearns defended firing Swierc in a statement sent Tuesday to campus leaders, which a Ball State spokesperson shared with the Associated Press. Mearns said backlash over Swierc’s post threatened to harm the school’s student enrolment and fundraising. He said the settlement’s “modest monetary payment” to Swierc was substantially less than fighting her lawsuit would have cost. Kirk, founder of the conservative organization Turning Point USA, was killed by a gunman on 10 September 2025 on the campus of a Utah university. Before his death, Kirk was credited with galvanizing the conservative youth vote to help Donald Trump win a second term. Others fired for Kirk posts have won six-figure settlements Swierc was among a wave of workers who lost their jobs in both the public and private sector after posting social media comments and memes about Kirk’s assassination. And she isn’t the first to win a...

Key Points Modine Manufacturing landed a monumental deal to provide data center cooling solutions to a hyperscale customer. The $4 billion deal will see Modine receive $165 million upfront and will run from 2027 to 2029. With a spinoff pending, Modine looks poised to become a growth stock again. 10 stocks we like better than Modine Manufacturing › Shares of leading thermal management solutions provider Modine Manufacturing (NYSE: MOD) are 16% higher as of 1 p.m. ET today after the company announced a major $4 billion deal with a hyperscaler customer. The data center customer will use Modine's Airedale cooling solutions to support the incredible ongoing infrastructure build-out tied to the AI boom. The $4 billion will cover work scheduled for 2027 through 2029 and includes a $165 million upfront payment to help "support capacity investments and other expenditures needed to meet its commitments." I think the market's positive reaction to this news makes sense for a couple of reasons. First, the deal shows they're not only a leader in the climate solutions industry (HVAC and heat transfer solutions), but also in the booming data center space. It looks like a major vote of confidence from a big-time customer. Neil Brinker, Chief Executive Officer, explained, "This landmark agreement is a testament to the successful execution of our long-term strategy to grow our Data Centers business and validates our position as a technology leader." Will AI create the world's first trillionaire? Our team just released a report on the one little-known company, called an "Indispensable Monopoly" providing the critical technology Nvidia and Intel both need. Continue » Second, the size of the deal is simply massive, considering that Modine's data center sales in 2025 were only about $700 million, and this deal will be somewhere around $1.3 billion annually starting in 2027. This data center unit just grew sales by 78% in Modine's most recent quarter, and management believed it would hit $...

Among Barchart’s top 200 bullish price surprises on Friday, there were only a handful of stocks that had standard deviations over 4.00. One of them was NetApp (NTAP), a data management and storage software company. NetApp’s stock gained over 12% on the day, bringing its gains for 2026 to 30.1% and over 80% for the past five years. While that might not match the gains of high-flying tech stocks like Micron Technology (MU) or Advanced Micro Devices (AMD), NTAP did hit a new 52-week high of $141.75 on Friday. If it maintains its current momentum, NTAP could soon challenge its October 16, 2000, all-time high of $152.75. Despite trading near an all-time high, the Silicon Valley tech company trades at a reasonable valuation relative to tech stocks in general and to the overall markets. While I can definitely say I’m not an expert on NetApp, or most tech stocks for that matter, I can see three reasons its stock should be on your watchlist. Free Cash Flow Rules the Roost NetApp’s trailing 12-month (TTM) free cash flow (FCF), as of Jan. 23, 2026, was $1.61 billion, according to S&P Global Market Intelligence. That’s the highest it’s been in its 30-plus years as a public company. Based on TTM revenue of $6.71 billion, that’s an FCF margin of 24.0%. Between fiscal 2021 and 2025, NetApp's revenue and free cash flow grew by 14.5%. That’s significant growth, but it’s enough to keep its valuation moving higher. In Q3 2026, which it reported in February, its FCF declined by 19.8% to $271 million from $338 million a year earlier. That resulted in its FCF margin declining by 480 basis points to 15.8%. You shouldn’t be alarmed by this. Free cash flow will vary quarter to quarter, depending on sales timing, new customers, etc. For example, in Q3 2024, its free cash flow was $448 million, considerably higher than in Q3 2026. Based on Q4 2025’s FCF of $640 million, investors can expect NetApp’s Q4 2026 FCF to be $692 million or higher, assuming similar FCF margins. For the year, I expect...

Upstart (UPST +6.13%) and LendingClub (LC +2.56%) are fighting for dominance in the digital lending space. Both companies leverage technology to streamline personal loans, but their business models and risk profiles vary significantly. Upstart operates as an artificial intelligence marketplace that connects borrowers with various banking partners. LendingClub functions as a digital marketplace bank, holding more loans on its own balance sheet after acquiring a banking charter. This difference in how they fund and hold loans defines their financial health and market perception. The case for Upstart Upstart uses proprietary models to evaluate credit-worthiness for personal, auto, and home equity loans. It primarily acts as a middleman, selling its technology services to more than 100 bank and credit union partners. Customer concentration like this adds a layer of risk to the business, as fees from its top three lending partners accounted for 61% of total revenue in 2025. In FY 2025, revenue reached approximately $1.1 billion, representing a significant revenue growth rate of nearly 58.9% over the previous year. The company reported a net income of close to $53.6 million, marking a return to profitability after substantial net losses in 2024. This recovery followed a challenging period of rising interest rates that temporarily slowed lending activity across the fintech sector. As of its December 2025 balance sheet, the debt-to-equity ratio was roughly 2.3x, meaning the company uses more borrowed funds than its own capital. The current ratio, which measures the ability to pay short-term debts with current assets, stood at a strong 3.0x. Free cash flow, defined as cash from operations minus capital spending, was approximately negative $166.1 million for FY 2025. The case for LendingClub LendingClub operates a mobile-first platform that provides personal loans and deposit products to more than 5 million members. Unlike its pure-tech competitors, it uses its own bank chart...

Ferrari is breaking a lot of new ground with the Luce. It’s the luxury automaker’s first car with five seats, its first partnership with Apple’s former chief designer Jony Ive — who designed the iPhone, among other products — and the luxury automaker’s first electric vehicle. But Ferrari is taking a risk releasing the Luce when the market for luxury EVs is questionable. Must Read Porsche, for instance, is considering scrapping (1) the 718 Boxster and Cayman EVs, citing rising expenses and development delays. Bentley delayed its electric-only goal from 2030 to 2035 — and then scrapped that entirely (2). Mercedes Benz EVs quietly disappeared (3) from U.S. dealers last year due to decreased demand (though they’re returning now). General Motors has indefinitely suspended (4) work on the Hummer EV (along with the Silverado and Sierra EVs) and slowed production (5) of electric Cadillacs. Still, Ferrari is betting on the power of its name and the passion of its customer base to succeed where competitors have failed to break through. That’s despite the Luce’s price tag. In development since 2021, the new EV retails for $640,000, making it one of the most expensive Ferraris that weren’t a limited production. Here’s what you get for that price, and whether Ferrari’s gamble will pay off. A different type of Ferrari The Luce (pronounced-loo-chay, Italian for ‘light’) looks considerably different than a typical Ferrari. Its upper half is made of glass (6), as are many fittings, filling it with light. It has an aluminum body (7) and sits lower to the ground than the Purosangue, Ferrari’s first four-door vehicle, released two-years ago. Its wheels are the largest ever on a Ferrari and the doors are center opening. Taillights glow through a black panel on the back of the car. The Luce can go from 0 to 60 in under 2.5 seconds and reaches a top speed of 190 mph. Top Gear’s Jason Barlow reviewed (8) the car, noting that Ferrari had originally considered building on its F80 hybrid and ...

They announced a whole bunch of different things, throwing spaghetti at the wall. That said, it seems like they are pushing forward with their really good models, depending on who you are, and then also changing their products a little bit. We thought, or a lot of people thought a few years ago, hey, 10 Bulinks are gonna be dead. Google's in real trouble. Now we're seeing some updates to Google itself, the Google website that's going to incorporate some of these AI tools. Their Flash 3.5 model is getting really good reviews. As long as you aren't a coder, we'll maybe talk about that in a moment. But when you looked at this, it seems they're playing a card that nobody else can play with their vertically integrated stack, with their consumer focus. Sure, they're not going to win where Anthropic is, but their prize may be even bigger in the end. Is that the right way to think about it? Lou Whiteman: From the top, we need to do a disclaimer here. These events are designed to impress. Maybe with the notable exception, if you're an investor, you should mostly ignore these. That day when Steve Jobs stood up on stage ...

Ongoing litigation and emerging regulation may require significant platform redesign, and could reduce user engagement, limit behavioral data collection, increase compliance costs, and weaken advertising-targeting efficiency. Approximately 98% of Meta's revenue is derived from advertising and material changes to engagement metrics or data availability may directly affect revenue growth and operating margins. Internationally, the European Union's Digital Services Act issued a preliminary finding against Meta for allowing underage users on its platform, with a potential fine of up to 6% of global revenue — about $12 billion, and billions more in additional fines until Meta is in compliance. Australia has led nearly 20 countries in enacting or planning social media bans for users under 16, structurally removing Meta's youngest, highest-lifetime-value cohort from its advertising pipeline. More than 2,400 additional lawsuits are pending, including actions from 42 state attorneys general. Meta's insurance carriers have refused to cover its lawsuit claims, arguing they owe no duty to defend against intentional acts — meaning damages flow directly to Meta's balance sheet. In March 2026, a New Mexico court found Meta liable for violating the state's consumer protection law, imposing a $375 million penalty after determining the company made misleading statements about platform safety, exploited children's vulnerabilities, concealed knowledge of child sexual exploitation on its platforms, and failed to enforce its own ban on users under 13. One day later, a California court found Meta and Google liable for designing addictive platforms that harm young users' mental health. The resolution was filed by Proxy Impact on behalf of Dr. Lisette Cooper and co-filed by 13 faith-based and institutional investors from the U.S. and Europe with a combined $800 million in Meta stock. Kelly Stonelake, a child safety advocate and former Meta executive, will present the resolution at the annua...

中東局勢｜黎巴嫩南部遭空襲 據報以軍越過停火線 擴大地面行動 To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video 【有線新聞】黎巴嫩南部遭到空襲，據報以軍越過兩國協議劃定的停火界線，展開地面行動。 南部城市奈拜堤耶多處遭到空襲冒起濃煙，有雜物起火，大樓嚴重損毀，滿地瓦礫和碎片。據報東部亦有水壩連番受襲，造成幾十人死傷。以軍發聲明正針對黎巴嫩南部多個真主黨設施發動攻勢，包括發射火箭炮的基建。總理內塔尼亞胡召開安全內閣會議時，表示已下令軍方在黎巴嫩部署大量兵力，加強軍事行動並奪取戰略高地，又指以色列正鞏固安全緩衝區，保護北部社區。

Alexander Farnsworth/iStock Editorial via Getty Images Walmart ( WMT ) stock on Tuesday extended its post-earnings selloff , trading around $118 a share after falling further below key short- and medium-term moving averages. Shares have now broken below both their 50-day simple moving average near $126.62 and their 100-day simple moving average near $124.35, weakening the stock’s recent uptrend after months of steady gains. The next major technical level is the 200-day simple moving average near $114.38, which now acts as the key support area for traders watching whether the pullback stabilizes or deepens. Notably, the relative strength index has fallen to roughly 31.5, putting momentum near oversold territory after the sharp slide. On the upside, the former moving-average support zone around $124 to $127 becomes the first resistance area. Above that, the prior high around $135 remains the broader ceiling.

Two-time Ballon d'Or winner Alexia Putellas has announced she is leaving Barcelona after 14 years, with London City Lionesses in pursuit. The 32-year-old, widely regarded as one of the greatest female footballers of all-time, captained Barcelona to the Champions League title on Saturday. It was her fourth European crown with the club, while she has also won 10 league titles with Barcelona. Sources close to London City Lionesses, who finished sixth in their debut season in the Women's Super League, say there is confidence they can strike a deal to bring Putellas to the club this summer. They have been in discussions with her for several months. Putellas won the World Cup with Spain in 2023 and was part of the squad that finished runners-up to England at Euro 2025. She was ruled out of Euro 2022 on the eve of the tournament with an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury and returned at the end of the following season. Since her return to full fitness, she has shown the types of performances that earned her back-to-back Ballon d'Or accolades in 2021 and 2022. She leaves Barcelona as a legend of the club and it marks the end of a significant era for Pere Romeu's side.

An exceptionally early heat wave shatters records and brings deaths in Europe toggle caption Kin Cheung/AP LONDON — The United Kingdom smashed a century-old temperature record for the second time in 24 hours on Tuesday as a spring heat wave continued to scorch parts of Western Europe, triggering government warnings about risks to life. Several drownings were reported in Britain and France as people tried to cool down. A temperature of 95.2 Fahrenheit was recorded at London's Kew Gardens, Britain's Met Office weather service said, breaking the 94.6-degree record set a day earlier at Kew. The provisional readings smashed the long-standing record of 91.4 degrees set in 1922 and matched in 1944. London also recorded a rare "tropical night," defined as one in which the temperature does not fall below 68. Sponsor Message Records also fell in France, where temperatures reached 97 on Monday in the country's southwest and widely remained above 68 at night. The national weather service, Météo-France, said a "heat dome," with heat held in place by a high-pressure weather front, was producing temperatures more than 10 degrees Celsius above what is usual for this time of year. Unpredictable and extreme weather is becoming more frequent as Earth warms. Experts say unprecedented and deadly weather extremes that sometimes strike at abnormal times and in unusual places are putting more people in danger. "We know beyond a shadow of a doubt that heat wave events such as this have been made more likely and more severe due to climate change arising from our emissions of heat-trapping greenhouse gases," said Peter Thorne, director of the ICARUS Climate Research Centre, at Maynooth University, in Ireland. "But, nevertheless, many of the records being set, particularly in the U.K. and France, are mind-bogglingly crazy." After a U.K. long weekend that sent people flocking to beaches, pools and shady parks, London commuters sweltered on Tuesday in subway carriages without air conditioning. T...

QCOM stock hit record highs today – what’s driving the super rally? MSN

The Trump administration reached an agreement with Volvo Car AB that will allow the automaker to avoid a US ban on connected vehicles tied to China. Volvo, which is majority-owned by China’s Zhejiang Geely Holding Group , received a specific authorization from the US Commerce Department allowing it to continue importing and selling connected passenger vehicles in the US, the automaker said Tuesday , confirming an earlier report by Bloomberg News. Volvo builds vehicles in the US at a plant near Charleston, South Carolina, where it has invested more than $1.3 billion. The company also imports models from Sweden, where it’s headquartered, and started assembling one of its better-selling electric SUVs in Belgium last year in part due to the US raising tariffs on cars manufactured in China. The US ban on connected vehicles and related hardware and software technology with ties to China takes effect starting with the 2027 model year. Volvo’s Chinese ownership had raised questions about how the company would be affected by the policy, including whether it could potentially be barred from selling its vehicles in the US, the world’s second-largest auto market. Representatives for the White House and Commerce Department did not immediately respond to requests for comment. The rule implementing the ban was finalized in January 2025, shortly before President Donald Trump began his second term in office. It went into effect in March of that year, after Trump was inaugurated. Volvo said the authorization followed “constructive discussions with the US Department of Commerce and other US officials regarding Volvo Cars’ governance, technology and data security,” the carmaker said in its statement. “With this specific authorization, Volvo Cars can continue its growth plans in the US,” the company said. The timing of the decision comes as the company awaits shipments of 2027 model-year vehicles. It is unrelated to Trump’s recent visit to Beijing, nor is it a sign that his administrati...

The earliest arrests under the Take It Down Act (TIDA) suggest that cops don't have to work too hard to identify people illegally posting and selling nonconsensual sexualized deepfakes of women online. Last week, the FBI arrested two men after visiting porn websites and clicking on hashtags like #AI #Deepfakes or video titles like "AI_tits" or "Ass_AI." One suspect accused of violating TIDA was 20-year-old Arturo Hernandez. He allegedly posted 113 albums viewed nearly a million times featuring AI-generated sexualized images and videos of approximately 50 women. Victims included political figures, actresses, and musicians, as well as women who are not public figures, such as female individuals who attended his Texas high school and an Instagram friend.

BalkansCat HP ( HPQ ) will report its results for the second quarter on Wednesday, after markets close, with the stock down around 4% in trading ahead of the release. Wall Street expects the company to post earnings of 72 cents per share, implying a 1.4% increase, on revenue of $14.07B, representing a year-over-year rise of 6.6%. During the quarter, HP expanded its AI-focused PC, printing, and workplace ecosystem offerings through a series of product launches at HP Imagine 2026, including new AI PCs, enterprise printers with quantum-resistant security, connected workplace software, and high-performance workstations. The company also introduced new additive manufacturing solutions and highlighted growing cybersecurity capabilities through HP Wolf Security research and HP TPM Guard. Additionally, HP announced a leadership transition , with CEO Enrique Lores stepping down and Bruce Broussard appointed interim CEO. According to Seeking Alpha’s Quant Rating system, HPQ is rated Hold with an overall score of 3.15 out of 5, reflecting an A in valuation, but it has an F in terms of growth. A recent Seeking Alpha analysis said HP ’s growth outlook is mixed, supported by AI PC-driven momentum in Personal Systems but weighed down by structural weakness in Printing and near-term margin pressure from tariffs and memory costs. It pointed out that “Despite decent growth from its PC segment, we believe that its Printing segment will continue to decline, as we believe that remote working and the digitization of documents will reduce the need for printers and paper.” Over the past two years, HPQ has beaten EPS estimates 38% of the time and has beaten revenue estimates 100% of the time. Over the last three months, EPS estimates have seen one upward revision and 10 downward revisions, while revenue estimates have seen nine upward revisions and no downward moves. Shares have fallen around 13.6% so far this year. More on HP HP Inc.: Cheap On Paper, Challenged In Reality HP Inc.: Growth W...
