Hi everyone. Today we’re talking about the ripple effects of Grand Theft Auto VI ’s release, but first... This week’s top gaming news: Indie video game Mina the Hollower sold 300,000 copies in three days , ensuring that the studio behind it will continue to operate Valve Corp., the anticorporate hero of the games industry, has its antitrust moment Sony Group Corp.’s PlayStation revealed God of War Laufey , the next game in the series Grand Theft Panic Here is a list of major video games planned for release in September: The Blood of Dawnwalker , Marvel’s Wolverine , Trails in the Sky 2nd Chapter , Dune: Awakening , Control Resonant , Silent Hill: Townfall , Onimusha: Way of the Sword . Here is a list of major video games planned for release in November: Grand Theft Auto VI . Those lists will inevitably change. A few games might slip, and some new ones will be announced in the coming days. If Grand Theft Auto VI is delayed again (unlikely, but you never know in gaming), all bets are off. But a glimpse at this fall’s current release schedule reveals the unprecedented nature of the next Grand Theft Auto and the impact it will have on the entire industry. Game makers are giving a wide berth to the open-world crime game from Take-Two Interactive Software’s Inc.’s Rockstar Games, which is expected to be one of the biggest entertainment products in history. Publishers are preparing for the new GTA to suck up everything you might need to try to launch a successful video game in 2026: customer spending, media attention, advertisements on the front page of digital stores, shelf space in Target, Twitch eyeballs, support from console makers and on and on. So just about every single competitor has decided to either release their game in September or wait until 2027. A few games, such as the next Call of Duty , are also landing in October. Some games are even hedging their bets, waiting to commit to a final release date until there’s no uncertainty left surrounding Grand Theft Au...

Douglas Rissing Cleveland Federal Reserve Bank President Beth Hammack thinks it's currently reasonable to keep rates steady, but if recent trends continue, it may soon be appropriate to act. The Federal Reserve's inflation objective is 2%, Hammack said in a LinkedIn post , adding that price stability is a foundation for businesses, consumers, and investors to make sound economic decisions. She said today's jobs report reaffirms that the labor market appears to be roughly in balance. However, inflation is telling a different story. "It's high, moving higher, and I believe persistently high inflation is the bigger concern," said the Federal Open Market Committee's voting member. "It would be a bad development if consumers, businesses, and financial markets begin to expect higher inflation in the future. Such a shift in expectations would warrant decisive action," she noted.

In this article AAPL Follow your favorite stocks CREATE FREE ACCOUNT watch now VIDEO 2:05 02:05 Apple’s WWDC puts Tim Cook’s AI legacy on the line TechCheck Apple heads into next week's Worldwide Developers Conference with its stock near record highs, iPhone momentum improving and one unresolved question hanging over Tim Cook' s final developer conference as CEO: Can Apple finally deliver the artificial intelligence experience it promised two years ago? The expected centerpiece of WWDC is a major overhaul of Siri , Apple’s long-criticized voice assistant. Analysts expect Apple to show a more powerful version of Siri with a standalone chatbot-style app, personal context, on-screen awareness, the ability to handle multi-step commands and deeper routing to outside models, potentially including Google ’s Gemini. For investors, WWDC is a test of whether Apple Intelligence can become a real iPhone upgrade driver — and justify a valuation that already assumes Apple can remain the device of choice for consumers accessing AI, regardless of which model they use. For developers, it is a test of whether Siri can become a true platform in the agentic era, and one worth building for. And for Cook, it is a legacy moment. As John Ternus prepares to take over for Cook as CEO, WWDC gives the company one last major developer stage to show that Apple's AI strategy is finally coming together. Dan Newman, CEO of The Futurum Group, told CNBC that Apple Intelligence is "one of the big black eyes" of Cook's tenure. "This is clearly the moment that Apple can say, 'Hey, we are capable of taking advantage of our multi-billion-user install base,'" Newman said, adding that Apple also needs to prove to developers that Siri is "something to build on." watch now VIDEO 1:27 01:27 Apple price target upgrades put Siri and WWDC back in focus Closing Bell Winning developers and users MoffettNathanson wrote this week that Apple's stock has "done all the work the AI story has yet to do."

Earnings Call Insights: Quanex Building Products (NX) Q2 2026 Management View “Housing demand in North America and Europe is showing early signs of stabilization, but the recovery will likely proceed gradually,” said (President, CEO & Chairman George Wilson), adding, “we don't expect housing markets to rebound sharply in the near term.” “Gross margins declined 350 basis points year-over-year in Q2, primarily due to sharp increases in raw materials and logistics costs,” said (President, CEO & Chairman Wilson), and noted Hardware Solutions was hit hardest because of “the legacy nature of the make-the-stock business model for the window indoor hardware product line.” “To mitigate these pressures, we have implemented and will continue to implement targeted price increases ranging from mid-single digit to low teens percentages to be phased in throughout Q3,” said (President, CEO & Chairman Wilson), while prioritizing “closing the price cost gap,” “accelerating the transition for make-the-stock to make-the-order,” and “generating more free cash flow.” “We reported net sales of $462.4 million during the second quarter of 2026,” said (Senior VP, CFO & Treasurer Scott Zuehlke), and “we reported net income of $3.4 million or $0.07 per diluted share,” while “on an adjusted basis… net income… was $11.3 million or $0.25 per diluted share.” Outlook “Accordingly, we are not reaffirming our previously issued guidance for fiscal 2026 at this time,” said (Senior VP, CFO & Treasurer Zuehlke), citing that “inflationary pressures have increased” and “reduced visibility into the balance of the year.” “On a consolidated basis, we expect revenue to be flat to up 1% and adjusted EBITDA margin is expected to be flat to up 25 basis points,” said (Senior VP, CFO & Treasurer Zuehlke) for Q3 2026 vs. Q3 2025, adding, “an estimated tax rate of approximately 24% should be reasonable.” Compared with last quarter’s framing, the company shifted from “we're comfortable with providing guidance for fisc...

A proposal for a data center in Nashville is facing off against the leopards and tigers of the city’s zoo. The Nashville Zoo launched a petition this week calling for the community to push back against a proposed data center from DC Blox, a digital infrastructure provider in the Southeast. The site for the 69,000-square-foot structure is located next to the animal sanctuary, sparking concerns about environmental damage. The petition, which is asking for city leaders to intervene to stop the plan, had more than 140,000 signatures as of Friday. “AI data centers are being built at an alarming pace, posing possible risks to diverse and vulnerable communities,” the petition on Change.org said. “The next one could be located just feet away from one of the most fragile and rare collections of animals in the country unless Nashville Zoo supporters and city leaders intervene.” The zoo is home to over 3,700 animals representing more than 350 different species, including clouded leopards, Andean bears and Sumatran tigers. Community residents across the country are mounting opposition to the onslaught of data center construction, with key worries including noise, air quality and how the power-hungry facilities could drive up the cost of their electricity bills. Seven in 10 Americans are against the construction of an AI data center in their area, with 48% strongly opposed, according to a recent Gallup poll. A spokesperson for the zoo said in a statement that the response to the petition was incredible.
