TAIPEI (Taiwan News) — WinWay Technology, a global semiconductor test interface supplier, said rising AI demand is expected to drive record revenue this year, with orders booked through December. Company Chair Jimmy Wang (王嘉煌) said strong demand for AI chips is driving Taiwan’s semiconductor sector, including upstream materials, wafer production, packaging, and testing, and is leading to capacity expansion. He added that advanced manufacturing processes in the sector are expected to remain in high demand, per CNA . To meet rising client orders, WinWay has been expanding production lines at its plant in Kaohsiung’s Nanzi District. Its new factory in the city’s Renwu District will begin construction on Friday and is expected to start production in the second quarter of next year. As capacity continues to increase, Wang said the company’s probe card output could reach nine million units by the end of this year and 14 million units in the second half of next year. A probe card is used to test wafers before they are cut and packaged to ensure chip functionality. WinWay said its production capacity is mainly based in Taiwan, and it plans to look for factory sites or seek acquisitions in Southeast Asia to expand its presence. It also plans to build a new plant in Arizona or Texas to meet demand from US AI data center customers for AI chip testing. The company said it has developed a testing solution for AI and high-performance computing chips designed for large-package requirements. The solution is designed to prevent wafers from bending due to heat. WinWay has also developed a liquid cooling socket, a semiconductor testing device for large AI chips. The company said the equipment, which has been granted a US patent, can dissipate heat from chips under high current loads during testing. The company reported first-quarter revenue of NT$2.98 billion (US$93 million), up 29.7% from last year. Net profit after tax rose 14% to NT$699 million.

US antitrust regulators appear ready to approve Paramount’s ( PSKY ) $110B takeover of Warner Bros. Discovery ( WBD ) after a two-hour meeting on Tuesday at the Justice Department, where Paramount CEO David Ellison reiterated a commitment to releasing movies in theaters, Semafor reported, citing people familiar with the matter. Antitrust staff members asked Ellison on whether the combined company would be less inclined to send movies to big screens — a concern channeled by Hollywood talent and raised by California’s attorney general, who could try to block the merger. DOJ staff attorneys seemed swayed by arguments from Paramount executives that the deal would not hurt other studios, or creative talent, the report said. Discussions included acting antitrust chief Omeed Assefi; talks remain ongoing, and the department’s analysis could change: Semafor. More on Paramount Skydance Corporation, Warner Bros.

法國《世界報》及法新社報道，去年轟動全球的羅浮宮博物館巨額珠寶盜竊案，即將改編成電影。法國出版社Flammarion於周二宣布，導演羅曼・加華斯將會把這宗價值約一億美元的驚天盜竊案搬上銀幕。 劇本靈感來自由《巴黎人報》、《世界報》及《巴黎競賽》三位記者合著的調查書籍《Main basse sur le Louvre》，意為「搶掠羅浮宮」，該書周三在法國正式發行。 據法國電影雜誌《Le Film Francais》報道，電影項目處於開發階段，尚未公布片名及演員陣容。出版社表示，電影版權已售予製作公司Iconoclast，而一套紀錄片系列的版權則由一家英國製作公司購入。 導演羅曼・加華斯過往作品包括2025年荷里活電影《Sacrifice》，以及為音樂組合GENER8ION執導近期備受矚目的校園舞曲音樂影片。 這宗盜竊案發生於2025年10月19日，匪徒在羅浮宮內掠走價值約一億美元的珠寶首飾，事件震驚全球，並引發這座世界知名博物館的內部安全危機。最終，時任館長迪卡爾被撤換。經過七個月的調查，儘管主要疑犯已被捕，但被盜的珠寶至今仍未尋回。 作者們形容，珠寶離奇消失「成為一個撲朔迷離的謎團，令調查人員陷入深深的困惑」。他們指出，這宗盜竊案說明了「藝術品盜竊對許多罪犯來說，已變得像其他生意一樣」。作者稱：「犯罪世界找到了一頭新的現金牛 (cash cow)。」 (旁述由AI生成)

Shares in SK hynix, which supplies Silicon Valley's AI chip titan Nvidia with advanced high-bandwidth memory, were up more than 11 percent in early afternoon trade (Jung Yeon-je) · Jung Yeon-je/AFP/AFP The market value of South Korean memory chip maker SK hynix soared past $1 trillion on Wednesday thanks to frenzied global demand for the computing hardware that powers artificial intelligence tools. SK hynix's new benchmark comes on the heels of rival Samsung Electronics, whose market capitalisation also topped $1 trillion this month -- fanning frustration among its workers who have struck a deal with management securing massive bonuses and averting a strike. Shares in SK hynix, which supplies Silicon Valley's AI chip titan Nvidia with advanced high-bandwidth memory, were up more than 11 percent in early afternoon trade. Its new valuation makes the company one of just three $1 trillion companies in Asia, along with Samsung and Taiwanese contract chipmaker TSMC, according to Bloomberg. Governments and tech firms worldwide are pouring hundreds of billions of dollars into AI data centres that can train and run tools such as chatbots, image generators and agents. That has caused a dizzying boom in business for companies that make the silicon microchips used to crunch huge amounts of data in these facilities. In April, SK hynix said net profit had rocketed almost 400 percent to a record high in the first quarter thanks to the AI boom, which helped it shrug off concerns that the Middle East war could hit the semiconductor industry. At Samsung, meanwhile, union members on Wednesday approved a deal with management under which around 78,000 employees will each be eligible to receive a bonus of roughly $370,000 this year, based on operating profit estimates. According to Samsung's union, workers at SK hynix received bonuses more than three times larger than those paid by Samsung last year. The promised windfall at both firms has sharply elevated the social status of chip engin...

The Model Y was also the best-selling car globally in 2023, 2024 and 2025. The vehicle also reached cumulative sales of over 4 million units. Tesla’s sales also grew in April in European markets like France and the Netherlands. Ferrari’s New EV According to Benzinga Edge Rankings, Tesla scores well on the Growth and Quality metric, while also providing a favorable price trend in the Short, Medium and Long term.

Shares of Costco Wholesale (COST 2.50%) climbed to a record high near $1,096.50 last week, only to slide back to about $1,003 as of this writing -- a drop of more than 8% in just a handful of trading days.

Shares of Costco Wholesale (COST 2.50%) climbed to a record high near $1,096.50 last week, only to slide back to about $1,003 as of this writing -- a drop of more than 8% in just a handful of trading days. Even after the pullback, however, the membership-based wholesale retailer's stock is up sharply in 2026 and remains well ahead of the S&P 500's gain during this period. So, is this latest retreat a chance to buy one of retail's most dependable compounders? The business is speeding up Starting with the headline numbers from the company's fiscal second quarter of 2026 (the 12 weeks ended Feb. 15, 2026), Costco's net sales rose 9.1% to $68.24 billion, and net income climbed nearly 14% to $2.04 billion, or $4.58 per share. More telling, however, is the acceleration seen in Costco's business. Stripping out swings in gasoline prices and foreign exchange, Costco's adjusted comparable sales -- a measure of sales at warehouses open at least a year -- grew 6.7% in the quarter. That marks a step up from 6.4% in the prior quarter (the period ended Nov. 23, 2025). And the company's most recent monthly sales update shows similar momentum. Net sales jumped 13% in April (the four weeks ended May 3). With that said, a change in the timing of Easter benefited the month. But still, the acceleration is notable. Further, digitally enabled comparable sales (online and app-based orders) jumped more than 22% in the latest quarter -- far outpacing the warehouses and easing worries investors may have about Costco's ability to compete with Amazon's e-commerce business. Of course, one of the best parts of Costco's business is the reliability of its membership-based model. To this end, Costco's membership fee income rose 13.6% in the fiscal second quarter to $1.36 billion. And even after excluding the impact of a 2024 fee increase and currency effects on this growth rate, the underlying growth in membership fee income was about 7.5%. Further, renewal rates remain stellar, at 92.1% in the U.S....
