Snap (NYSE:SNAP) , social media and advertising platform, closed Thursday at $4.01, down 10.69%. The stock fell after the European Commission opened a formal Digital Services Act investigation into Snapchat’s child safety practices. Investors are watching potential regulatory penalties and compliance costs. Trading volume reached 104.1 million shares, coming in about 120% above its three-month average of 47.4 million shares. Snap IPO'd in 2017 and has fallen 83% since going public. The S&P 500 (SNPINDEX:^GSPC) fell 1.74% to 6,477, while the Nasdaq Composite (NASDAQINDEX:^IXIC) dropped 2.38% to 21,408 as rising oil prices weighed on markets. Within social media peers, Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:META) plunged 7.96% to close at $547.74 and Pinterest (NYSE:PINS) fell 3.85% and finished at $17.96 as investors reacted to landmark legal decisions.

As many organizations celebrate outcome, some are skeptical as to what it means for privacy protections The verdict in a landmark social media trial that Meta and YouTube deliberately designed addictive products has sparked calls for reform across borders. International human rights and tech freedom groups issued statements after the decision, praising jurors for holding social media companies accountable for harms to children and urging tech giants to change their design features to ensure children are safe. Amnesty International said in a statement on Thursday that “this court decision is clear: these platforms are unsafe by design and meaningful change is urgently needed”. Continue reading...

Scharfsinn86/iStock via Getty Images I rate Aeva Technologies, Inc. ( AEVA ) a Hold. Aeva has a technological single-seller status in Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave [FMCW] silicon photonics that are validated by Nvidia ( NVDA ), Daimler ( DTGHF , DTRUY), and Top-Tier OEMs. The main point I consider is that the shift from legacy Time-of-Flight [ToF] LiDAR to FMCW for L3 autonomy is a structural inevitability. However, the temporal mismatch between Aeva's ~24-month liquidity runway and its 2028 mass-production timeline guarantees big stock dilution. More so, AEVA stock is trading at 28.64x forward EV/Sales that leaves almost no margin of safety for macroeconomic friction/automotive SOP delays. The technology is a Strong Buy, but the pre-dilution capital structure is a Sell. This backs the formation of a balanced Hold rating until capital is raised. The FMCW Architectural Shift My Aeva stock’s long-term bullish thesis is based on a long-term industry shift from legacy ToF LiDAR to FMCW silicon photonics. This shift is beyond standard automotive hardware cycles. I have multiple points to answer. Why? The first factor is the Nvidia DRIVE Hyperion Integration Multiplier, as Aeva is now the reference 4D LiDAR for the Hyperion platform. This builds a design-in-default for OEMs utilizing Nvidia’s full-stack AV processing. As Hyperion is the foundational architecture for industry giants, Aeva bypasses fragmented multi-year OEM sensor evaluations. Moreso, as Nvidia integrates Aeva’s 4D velocity data into its core simulation and validation environments, OEM software stacks become dependent (inseparably) on deterministic instant velocity measurements. This development forms a strong software lock-in for a hardware sensor. Now, the second factor is the Defense Sector Advantage. For more clarity, Aeva’s Forterra win exposes an important blind spot in legacy ToF sensors. The blind spot is that ToF lasers are highly visible to night-vision goggles [NVGs], and this renders them ...

Google is rolling out two new Gemini tools on Thursday which could attract users who are thinking about switching their preferred AI chatbot but don't want to "retrain" a new AI. Gemini's new "Import Memory" and "Import Chat History" features help users quickly copy over everything their current AI already knows about them with a couple of pre-written prompts. To use the "Import Memory" tool, users copy and paste a suggested prompt from Gemini into their previous AI, then paste the output from the previous AI into Gemini, which should get Gemini caught up on their preferences. The "Import Chat History" feature has users request an export o … Read the full story at The Verge.

Asian equities were set to fall after a plunge on Wall Street as traders assessed a 10-day extension to a deadline for Iran to strike a deal with the US or face more attacks. Equity index futures for Japan, Australia and Hong Kong all fell, setting up the region for a bruising day after the S&P 500 slipped 1.7% and the tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 declined 2.4% on Thursday. Oil and the dollar climbed. President Donald Trump again pushed back his deadline for Iran to strike a deal with the US or face more attacks, saying talks with the country were going “very well.” Trump said he would extend, by 10 days , his pledge to refrain from attacks on Iranian energy sites, offering a brief calm to global energy markets jolted by the conflict. Oil jumped on Thursday, with Brent crude gaining around 5%. Higher energy prices stoked fears about inflation, deepening a decline in Treasuries , which also dropped amid a lackluster US sale of notes. The US 10-year rose eight basis points to 4.41%, while the policy-sensitive two-year yield increased 10 basis points to 3.99%. The moves have extended the war-driven volatility of the past month, highlighting how geopolitical tensions continue to buffet markets and leaving investors struggling to assess whether hostilities are nearing de-escalation or set to intensify. “The progress being made in the talks between the US and Iran seems to be sketchy at best,” said Matt Maley at Miller Tabak. Earlier, Trump threatened Iran with intensified military action after Tehran rejected Washington’s push for a peace deal, with the two sides far apart in efforts to end the war. Until Iran agrees to stop the conflict, the US will “keep blowing them away,” the American president said. Iran responded to a ceasefire proposal through intermediaries overnight, the semi-official Tasnim news agency reported, and is now awaiting a reply. Tehran has a string of conditions for ending the conflict, one of which is a guarantee that the US and Israel won’t resume their ...
