(RTTNews) - Ahead of Wednesday's unplanned day off due to Typhoon Gaemi, the Taiwan stock market had ended the four-day losing streak in which it had plummeted more than 1,700 points or 7.6 percent. The Taiwan Stock Exchange now sits just above the 22,870-point plateau although it's likely to turn lower again on Thursday. The global forecast for the Asian markets is broadly negative on disappointing earnings news and soft data. The European and U.S. markets finished sharply lower and the Asian bourses figure to follow suit. The TSE finished sharply higher on Tuesday following huge gains among the technology stocks and more modest upside among the financials. For the day, the index surged 614.85 points or 2.76 percent to finish at 22.871.84 after trading between 22,514.75 and 22,871.84. Among the actives, Cathay Financial climbed 2.50 percent, while Mega Financial collected 0.71 percent, CTBC Financial added 0.99 percent, First Financial improved 1.03 percent, Fubon Financial strengthened 3.51 percent, E Sun Financial perked 0.34 percent, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company soared 4.26 percent, United Microelectronics Corporation accelerated 2.19 percent, Hon Hai Precision surged 4.68 percent, Largan Precision rose 0.53 percent, Catcher Technology advanced 1.21 percent, MediaTek spiked 4.08 percent, Delta Electronics rallied 4.28 percent, Novatek Microelectronics jumped 3.24 percent, Formosa Plastics sank 0.68 percent, Asia Cement gained 0.73 percent and Nan Ya Plastics was unchanged. The lead from Wall Street is brutal as the major averages opened deep in the red on Wednesday and only moved lower as the day progressed, ending near session lows. The Dow plummeted 504.22 points or 1.25 percent to finish at 39,853.87, while the NASDAQ plunged 654.94 points or 3.64 percent to close at 17,342.41 and the S&P 500 tumbled 128.61 points or 2.31 percent to end at 5,427.13. The sell-off on Wall Street came amid a negative reaction to disappointing corporate earnings new...

The S&P 500 has been reaching all-time highs in 2024, mostly fueled by large-cap technology stocks. However, not all stocks have performed quite so well, and that's even true about some that could be excellent long-term investments. Vici Properties (NYSE: VICI) is an excellent business with tons of growth potential that has been beaten down because of its interest rate sensitivity. Starbucks (NASDAQ: SBUX) disappointed investors with its first-quarter results, but is taking steps to get things back on track. Even though both stocks are far closer to their 52-week lows than the highs, here's why it could be a smart move to take a closer look at these proven winners. An industry leader with lots of potential Vici Properties is a real estate investment trust (REIT) that was spun off from Caesars Entertainment in 2018 to separate some of its real estate assets. In the years since then, it has evolved into the largest experiential REIT in the world, with 54 gaming properties and more. Vici owns some of the most recognizable real estate on the Las Vegas Strip, including Caesars Palace, MGM Grand, The Venetian, Mandalay Bay, and more. It also owns some of the top regional gaming properties, such as The Borgata in Atlantic City and MGM National Harbor in Washington, D.C., just to name a couple. And it has started to expand beyond its core gaming business, recently acquiring a portfolio of Bowlero entertainment centers. There's a lot to like about Vici's business. Its properties are mission-critical to its tenants. The average lease has 42 years left on it, and 96% of Vici's leases have some type of inflation protection built in. And the business itself is doing great -- in fact, since going public, Vici has raised its dividend every year, and at a rate that is significantly higher than most peers. However, dividend-focused REITs like Vici are rather price-sensitive to rising interest rates, and the current interest rate environment has put pressure on its stock price. Vici ...

当李彦宏在2026年百度 Create 开发者大会上提出“DAA(日活智能体数)将成为 AI 时代新度量衡”时,这一观点迅速在行业内引发广泛讨论。大量媒体围绕“DAA”等概念展开解读,百度也试图借此重新定义 AI 时代的价值评估体系。 相较于概念层面的行业造势,资本市场的关注点始终更为务实。历经多年坚定All in AI战略布局,外界始终在追问三大核心问题:百度是否依托 AI 搭建起全新用户流量入口?AI 技术能否持续拉动平台用户活跃度稳步提升?深耕多年的人工智能技术,最终是否沉淀出可持续、可落地的商业化盈利闭环? 深耕AI赛道多年,百度从文心系列大模型持续迭代,到自动驾驶全产业链布局,从自研昆仑芯算力芯片,再到智能云业务拓展,几乎覆盖了中国 AI 产业的核心关键赛道。但问题在于,技术能力并不等于用户满意度,更无法直接转化为资本市场的投资信心。而且AI 时代的大厂竞争,本质上正在从“模型能力竞争”,逐渐转向“生态协同能力竞争”。 百度系创业者,正成为百度新的产业竞争者 在李彦宏眼里,百度一直是一家技术驱动的科技公司。但人才的持续流失以及其它叠加因素的综合影响,让百度这家曾经BAT王朝的老大,现在的市值仅为腾讯的 8.87%、阿里的 14.5%(统计时间为2026年5月19日,以港股已收盘的市值数据计算)。 这与当时陆奇管理下的百度股价相比差距太大了。以当年陆奇加入百度前一天开始到被宣布不再担任百度总裁的那天截止的时间段来算,百度股价累计上涨了近60%。而在他被宣布辞职的前两天,百度股价更是创下历史新高,市值达985亿美元,达到历史最高点,已逼近千亿美元。 看了下日历,陆奇被宣布离职至今已整整8年了。这8年,对于“All in AI”的百度来说,似乎发展的得不太理想。 在这8年期间,原来在百度AI研究院实习的闫俊杰创办了MiniMax,自2026 年1月9日上市后,股价一路飙涨,市值曾在3月份短暂超过百度;曾是百度深度学习研究院(IDL)创始人的余凯,创立的地平线公司,专注自动驾驶芯片与智能驾驶解决方案,是百度昆仑芯的主要竞争者;前百度副总裁、小度 CEO的景鲲与前小度 CTO朱凯华在美国创立了Genspark一站式AI工作平台,主打 SuperAgent(超级智能体)技术;另外还有百度早期员工任旭阳与胡嵩、史有才联合创立海致科技,主要解决AI大模型幻觉问题,目前已在...

Key Points It notched a convincing beat on earnings, and also topped the consensus forecast for revenue. A shift away from underperforming businesses helped improve the bottom line. 10 stocks we like better than KE Holdings › Next-generation Chinese real estate company KE Holdings (NYSE: BEKE) was a hot company on the stock exchange on Tuesday. Investors eagerly lapped up its equity after the company posted first-quarter results that beat estimates. Beating the forecasts KE Holdings, which specializes in online real estate transactions and services, saw its total net revenue decline by 19% year-over-year to 18.9 billion yuan ($2.78 billion) in the quarter. That was on the back of a nearly 16% drop in gross transaction value (GTV) to 712 billion yuan ($105 billion). Much of this was due to a more than 37% slide in the GTV of new home transactions. 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 » The company's net income not under generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) rose to over 1.6 billion yuan ($235 million) from the year-ago profit of nearly 1.4 billion yuan ($206 million). In terms of earnings per ordinary share, net income was 1.42 yuan ($0.21). Both leading metrics topped the consensus analyst estimates. Prognosticators tracking KE Holdings' fortunes were modeling 18.64 billion yuan ($2.74 billion) in revenue and a much more modest 1.02 yuan ($0.15) per ordinary share in net profitability. In its earnings release, the company quoted CEO Stanley Peng as saying that "Our performance in this quarter reflected our ongoing efforts to enhance resource allocation, organizational efficiency and service quality, and also laid a foundation for the company to further transition from scale-driven growth to efficiency-driven growth, and from transaction matching to decision-making services."
