Asked by reporters whether - and how - his government would get Castro to the US to face the charges, Rubio replied: "I'm not going to talk about how we're going to get him here, if we were trying to get him here, why would I say to the media what our plans are about that?"

Pressed by the BBC about the swimming pool and other facilities at the hotel, Cubillos said that although from the outside it might look like they are living pretty well, that was not the case. "We've only used the pool once, on a really hot day. Most of the time, we're stuck in our rooms."

SpaceX has scrubbed the first launch of its third-generation Starship rocket system from its headquarters in Starbase, Texas. The company is expected to make another attempt on Friday. It’s a crucial launch for the company — and not just because it’s the first real test of the upgraded Starship V3 hardware; it also comes at a pivotal moment for SpaceX financially. The company recently filed for an IPO and is expected to go public within weeks, putting added pressure on SpaceX to demonstrate that its next-generation rocket program is making meaningful progress. This launch — Starship’s 12th — will mark the first flight of Starship since the company’s last attempt in October 2025. SpaceX has spent the interim months working on developing and testing this third version of Starship, which has encountered a few problems. In November, for example, one of the first V3 boosters suffered an explosion during testing. The company pushed back the Thursday liftoff a number of times and ultimately tried to send the rocket into space near the end of its expected launch window. Starship and its massive rocket booster were fully fueled, and the countdown dipped under T-40 seconds, but issues with the various rocket and launchpad systems caused the company to re-cycle the countdown multiple times. SpaceX CEO Elon Musk said in a post on X that the “hydraulic pin holding the [launch] tower arm in place did not retract,” and added that the company will try again on Friday at 5:30 p.m. local time if the issue “can be fixed tonight.” This new version of Starship represents a massive upgrade in vehicle design and how the company’s launchpad infrastructure works. One of the bigger changes were to SpaceX’s third-generation Raptor engines, which put more thrust in a streamlined design. The third-gen Starship booster is supposed to be easier for the launch tower to catch and has one fewer grid fin. SpaceX has also made a number of changes that are supposed to make this version of Starship more...

SpaceX is on the verge of the biggest initial public offering (IPO) in history and has recently filed its S-1 prospectus statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The filing has given investors the first in-depth look at the company's financials. With SpaceX reportedly gearing up to sell its first public shares at a pricing range that will value the company at a market capitalization between $1.75 trillion and $2 trillion, the company almost certainly seems poised to have the biggest public debut ever. SpaceX's hotly anticipated June IPO is on track to make history, and there's a lot for investors to parse over before what looks to be a record-setting debut. SpaceX has a highly growth-dependent valuation According to the company's S-1 filing, SpaceX recorded sales of $18.67 billion last year. That figure counts contributions from the xAI business, which includes Grok, other artificial intelligence (AI) services, and the X social media platform. Meanwhile, the company recorded a net loss of $4.9 billion in 2025. Losses could be looking even more stark this year. In 2026's first quarter, SpaceX recorded a loss of $4.27 billion on sales of $4.69 billion. For a highly growth-oriented business, SpaceX's losses aren't necessarily a disqualifying indicator. The company has a forefront position in both rocket-launching services and satellite-based internet communication services, and each of these markets has the potential to see massive growth over the long term. SpaceX has plenty of promising growth shoots and could go on to be a massive winner, but the business also still has a lot of proving to do when it comes to justifying a low-end valuation of $1.75 trillion. Elon Musk has a commanding stake of shares and big performance incentives With its prospectus filing, SpaceX gave investors their first look at the holdings breakdown among insiders and institutional investors. Notably, CEO Elon Musk holds shares working out to roughly 85.1% of total voting p...

Key Points He maintained his neutral recommendation, which didn't help sentiment on the stock. On top of that, investor fears of AI disruption persist. 10 stocks we like better than Salesforce › For the most part, stocks did well on a generally bullish Thursday for the market, but we can't say the same for Salesforce's (NYSE: CRM) equity. The customer relationship management (CRM) specialist took a more than 2% hit to its price after an analyst lowered his fair value assessment. An analyst gets out the scissors That morning, UBS pundit Karl Keirstead reduced his Salesforce price target from $200 per share to $185. In doing so, he maintained his neutral recommendation. 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 » It wasn't immediately apparent why Keirstead made his reduction, but it comes amid choppiness in legacy software stocks. One major theme with investors so far this year has been the fear of artificial intelligence (AI) disruption. Advanced AI models, so the theory goes, could be trained to perform the functions of classic software solutions such as Salesforce's long-standing CRM platform and its many modules. While there have lately been some signs of life in the legacy software space as investors hunt for beaten-down bargains, that dampened sentiment seems to be lingering to a degree. Undeservedly punished I believe that reputation and reality are at odds in Salesforce's case. Far from being a stuck-in-the-past business that refuses to embrace the latest technology, the company has actually been quite tech-forward with AI. In fact, toward the end of last year, it rolled out its own cutting-edge, dedicated agentic AI solution, Agentforce. With that, the company posted a beat-and-raise third quarter for its final earnings release of 2025. Better, it followed the feat with a fourth quarte...

Getty Images Nvidia Corporation ( NVDA ) reported another quarter of accelerated growth driven by hyperscaler and AI Cloud, Industrial & Enterprise (ACIE) customers, underpinned by increased capital investments, backlogs, and agentic AI adoption. With Vera Rubin’s expected release in eq3’27, Nvidia is setting the stage for continued growth as more enterprise AI adoption takes shape, particularly in private data centers and edge compute. With the expectation of physical AI hitting the market closer to the end of the decade, I have reason to believe that edge compute will be a major driving force for Nvidia SuperPOD rack-scale solutions, delivering continued momentum for its AI architecture. With strong multi-year tailwinds at play, I am reiterating my Strong Buy rating for NVDA shares with a price target of $398/share at 16.64x eFY28 price/sales. You can review my previous coverage of Nvidia here . While the updated price target for NVDA shares is just shy of my previous report, the high level of share price growth remains intact on the basis of broader enterprise and hyperscaler adoption. What has been made clearer is that Nvidia's dominance in the market may not be as drastically disrupted as previously expected as hyperscalers like Alphabet ( GOOG ) bring more TPUs to the market. In addition to this, the expected capital spend across the hyperscalers has increased since last reporting on Nvidia. The headwind faced is more tied to capacity constraints despite the robust market demand for Blackwell and Vera Rubin. Nvidia Corporation Operational Update Nvidia reported a robust top- and bottom-line beat for q1’27, underpinned by an even split between hyperscalers and non-hyperscaler customers. With AI inferencing becoming more heavily utilized, Nvidia’s shift in architecture should continue its momentum, particularly at the enterprise level. I believe this paradigm shift will be supported even more at the turn of the series to Vera Rubin , which was designed to signif...
