In this article WIX Follow your favorite stocks CREATE FREE ACCOUNT Anadolu | Getty Images Israel-based web development company Wix is slashing roughly 20% of its workforce, CEO Avishai Abrahami announced in a post on X early Thursday morning, citing the "fast evolution of AI capabilities" and difficulties around currency exchange rates. "We have witnessed the most significant shift in how companies are built since the invention of modern programming languages in the 1970s. This is not just about adopting new tools - it is about rewiring how companies are built, how they think, how they manage and how they operate," Abrahami wrote, saying that the company would move toward fewer layers of leadership to make faster decisions. Abrahami said that as the Israeli shekel continues to strengthen against the U.S. dollar, the exchange rate put a "structural pressure" on the company's ability to operate at its current scale. Wix did not immediately respond to CNBC's request for confirmation or additional details on the layoffs.

Zolak/iStock via Getty Images Market overview The ICE BofA U.S. High Yield, Cash Pay, Constrained Index (the Benchmark) returned -0.53% over the first quarter. Lower quality issues underperformed materially, with BB, B, and CCC-rated issues returning -0.40%, -0.39%, and -2.97%, respectively. Overall spreads ended 53 basis points (bps) wider. (A basis point is 1/100 of a percent.) The first quarter delivered a modest negative total return for U.S. high-yield bonds, representing the first quarterly loss in more than three years. A combination of sharply higher interest rates, steady spread-widening, lower equities and large retail fund outflows drove bond prices lower over the quarter. After marking a new post-Global Financial Crisis (GFC) tight spread level in January (270 bps), the high-yield market steadily widened throughout the remainder of the quarter as geopolitical tensions increased, culminating in US/Israeli attacks on Iran and subsequent retaliation on energy infrastructure throughout the Middle East. Iran's closure of the Strait of Hormuz, through which 20% of global crude and liquid natural gas supplies flow, resulted in the largest global oil supply disruption in history. Oil (West Texas Intermediate) prices reacted accordingly, surging 76% to $101/barrel. As expected, the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) paused its easing cycle, citing stabilization in labor market trends, continued economic strength and the uncertain implications of conflict in the Middle East on the economy. The commodity price shock lifted inflation expectations and reversed market pricing regarding Fed easing during the year, driving the 2-, 5- and 10-year U.S. Treasury rates higher by 32 bps, 22 bps and 15 bps, respectively.

Key Points Falling petroleum reserves and summer travel could be a recipe for a price shock. It would likely spike inflation, which is bad for consumers and most stocks. A look at which types of investments can thrive when inflation rises. These 10 stocks could mint the next wave of millionaires › Iran closed the Strait of Hormuz in early March 2026 as part of the ongoing war with Israel and the United States. In normal times, the key waterway provides a passageway for approximately 20% of the world's petroleum liquids each day (as well as other product shipments). Different parties have made varying claims about the Strait of Hormuz's current status, but the reality is that it's severely restricted at best. What was once 60 tankers passing daily has become one or two ships. 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 » This has already disrupted the energy industry and is driving gas prices higher in the United States. What do investors need to know as the summer (driving and travel season) approaches? Here are two important takeaways from this ongoing situation. 1. Energy disruption could cause an inflationary spike that weighs on consumers and most stocks Countries are depleting their petroleum reserves to offset production losses from the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, but that can only last so long. As reserves draw down and demand spikes, the risk of a price shock rises. Energy prices factor heavily into inflation, not just in gasoline for consumers, but also in fuel for operating planes and machinery, and for transporting goods. As prices soar, it can hit consumers hard, especially those who are already struggling. Consumer spending might plunge, creating a stagflation double whammy: slow spending or even a recession, combined with rising inflation. Some types of stocks, such as oil and...

If you have ever wondered whether NVIDIA's share price still makes sense after such a strong run over the years, this article will help you frame that question around what you are really paying for today. The stock last closed at US$212.60, with returns of 12.6% year to date and 57.7% over the past year, although it has fallen 4.9% in the last week and is down 1.9% over the last month. These short term moves sit against a backdrop of NVIDIA being at the center of major themes like artificial intelligence hardware, data center expansion and advanced graphics. Headlines around AI infrastructure spending, competition in high performance chips and regulatory attention on large technology companies continue to shape how investors think about risk and opportunity in the stock. NVIDIA currently has a , which means it screens as undervalued on half of the key checks. The rest of this article will walk through the main valuation methods investors often use and then finish with a broader way to think about what the numbers really mean for you. Advertisement Approach 1: NVIDIA Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) Analysis A Discounted Cash Flow model estimates what a stock could be worth by projecting the company’s future cash flows and then discounting them back to today’s value using a required return. It is essentially asking what all future cash the company might generate is worth in today’s dollars. For NVIDIA, the model used is a 2 Stage Free Cash Flow to Equity approach. The latest twelve month free cash flow is reported at about $119.4b. Analyst and extrapolated projections have free cash flow at $434.9b in 2031, with a path that includes estimated free cash flow such as $96.0b in 2026 and $540.8b in 2035, all in $. These future cash flows are discounted each year, for example to $86.6b in 2026 and $233.1b in 2031, and then summed to reach an overall equity value. This process results in an estimated intrinsic value of $192.10 per share, compared to the recent share price of $21...

Elon Musk could become one of the world’s top five corporate owners of Bitcoin (CRYPTO: $BTC ) should his companies SpaceX and Tesla (NASDAQ: $TSLA ) merge. Rumors are circulating that electric vehicle maker Tesla and commercial space company SpaceX are likely to merge. Should that merger happen, Elon Musk would control one of the largest corporate Bitcoin holdings in public markets, according to analysts. Tesla currently holds 11,509 Bitcoin, while SpaceX owns 18,712 BTC. Combined, the companies would control 30,221 Bitcoin worth $3.3 billion U.S. at current prices. That total would make the merged company the fifth-largest corporate holder of Bitcoin in the world. A combined Tesla and SpaceX would trail Strategy (NASDAQ: $MSTR ), investment firm Twenty One Capital (NYSE: $XXI ), and bitcoin mining firms Metaplanet (OTC: $MTPLF ) and Marathon Digital (NASDAQ: $MARA ). Tesla first bought Bitcoin in 2021 and briefly accepted the cryptocurrency for vehicle payments before suspending the option over environmental concerns related to crypto mining. Rumors of a Tesla and SpaceX merger come ahead of an expected initial public offering (IPO) by SpaceX in June of this year. SpaceX is expected to begin trading on the Nasdaq (NASDAQ: $NDAQ ) exchange at a valuation of $1.25 trillion U.S., making it the largest IPO in history. TSLA stock has risen 0.52% this year to trade at $440.36 U.S. per share.

JHVEPhoto Super Micro Computer ( SMCI ) said on Thursday that it is working with Taiwanese authorities to prevent illegal smuggling of its server technology. The collaboration has already resulted in the arrest of three suspects and the seizure of more than 50 servers that were “deceptively acquired” after being sold by Supermicro to an authorized reseller, the company said in a statement . Shares fell 1.2% in premarket trading on Thursday. The statement comes as Super Micro announced in April that it was conducting an independent investigation into the allegations that two former employees and a contractor illegally shipped Nvidia-powered ( NVDA ) servers to China. The allegations reportedly led to the loss of a “significant” contract with Oracle, though that has not been independently confirmed. In an indictment unsealed last month, the U.S. government alleged that Yih-Shyan “Wally” Liaw, Ruei-Tsan, “Steven” Chang, and Ting-Wei “Willy” Sun worked together to violate the Export Control Reform Act. Liaw co-founded Super Micro in 1993 and joined its board of directors in 2023. Chang was a sales manager in the Taiwan office of Super Micro, while Sun was a contractor. U.S. officials allege the trio went to great lengths to hide their actions from both U.S.-based server manufacturers and export control authorities. They allegedly even used hair dryers to remove labels and serial numbers from the real machines and placed them on dummy machines left behind after the real machines had been shipped to China. The efforts had yielded around $2.5B in sales for the server maker since 2024, with $510M sold between late April 2025 and mid-May 2025 going to the Southeast Asian company and on to China, the indictment said. The plaintiff said the server maker had no U.S. Commerce Department license to export servers featuring Nvidia's ( NVDA ) GPUs to China. Liaw and Sun both pleaded not guilty in a New York City courtroom earlier this month. Chang, who was a sales manager in Sup...

Beeline Holdings ( BLNE ) on Thursday said it signed a non-binding letter of intent to acquire the remaining stake in AI-driven real estate technology company MagicBlocks in an all-stock transaction. Beeline, which already owns about 47.6% of MagicBlocks, said the deal would make the company a wholly owned subsidiary and expand its artificial intelligence and digital asset capabilities. The proposed acquisition is subject to a definitive agreement, approvals from a special committee of Beeline’s board, SAFE noteholders, and employment agreements for MagicBlocks’ founders. Beeline said the transaction is expected to close in June and is supported by a third-party valuation of about $1 million. The company said MagicBlocks’ technology would support its mortgage origination, title services, blockchain settlement, and tokenized home equity initiatives.

Hong Kong’s Fire Services Department has given approval for 3,600 old low-rise residential buildings to install a new Internet of Things (IoT) smart fire alarm system as an alternative to traditional fire-safety equipment, following a successful pilot scheme in the first quarter of this year. The IoT-enabled system consists of detectors installed in individual flats and public areas of the building, which send warning signals to the department within 60 seconds of detecting carbon monoxide or smoke “The gateway in the building’s corridors, once receiving the detector’s signals, will activate a synergising effect where if one fire alarm sounds, the rest of the alarms in the building will also sound,” Simon Sze Man-yuk, divisional officer for building improvement strategy and special operations, said on Thursday. Advertisement The department will also receive a copy of all data transmitted to the service provider’s 24-hour monitoring system, which tracks all signals and actions of the system. “This is a replacement, or an additional choice, for residents. They can choose accordingly and we don’t have any mandatory requirements for them to choose which system,” Sze said. Advertisement The roll-out follows a pilot scheme covering 10 buildings earlier this year targeting old buildings of six storeys or fewer that were not fitted with adequate fire-safety equipment. The scheme achieved an effective operation rate of more than 99.95 per cent, according to the department.
