Talk of an AI bubble has faded since late last year, when signs of weakness in some AI stocks and fears around circular deals triggered a sell-off in names like Nvidia. Since then, a shortage in memory chips and strong demand growth have sent AI stocks surging again, with major indexes hitting all-time highs following the dip over the Iran war. However, a bursting bubble is still a very real possibility. Semiconductors are historically cyclical, after all, and prone to price swings due to inventory gluts and shortages. That's especially true with memory. Now, the AI bubble could face its biggest test with the IPO of SpaceX, which just filed its S-1, showing key numbers ahead of its intended listing in June. What we just learned about SpaceX SpaceX has gotten a lot of attention because it's a unique company with leading positions in reusable rockets and satellite internet, and because it's led by Elon Musk, the visionary entrepreneur who has already built one trillion-dollar company, Tesla, and is set to take another one public, as SpaceX could fetch a valuation of as high as $2 trillion. However, we now have a clear view of SpaceX's financials, and they don't look like the typical $2 trillion company. In the first quarter, SpaceX's revenue grew by just 15.4% to $4.7 billion, and it reported a generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) operating loss of $1.9 billion, compared to a profit of $27 million in the quarter a year ago. In 2025, revenue rose 33.2% to $18.7 billion, and it reported an operating loss of $2.6 billion, compared to a profit of $466 million in the quarter a year ago. While SpaceX is delivering solid growth, those aren't particularly remarkable numbers, especially for a company that is already one of the most valuable in the world. Why the SpaceX IPO could trigger a bubble Based on those numbers, SpaceX's valuation would be off the charts. At a $2 trillion valuation with $19.3 billion in revenue, SpaceX would trade at a price-to-sales ratio of...
Deere & Company DE used its second-quarter call to argue that portfolio balance, not a turn in large agriculture, is carrying the year.

Deere & Company DE used its second-quarter call to argue that portfolio balance, not a turn in large agriculture, is carrying the year. Management kept full-year net income guidance intact even as Brazil weakened and tariffs remained a material drag. That steadiness mattered because the call centered less on the quarter’s headline beat and more on what executives said about demand, pricing, inventories and the path into 2027. DE Keeps Net Income Guide Intact DE reported second-quarter net income of $1.773 billion, or $6.55 a share, on net sales of $11.78 billion. That topped the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $5.81 for earnings and $11.44 billion for revenues, producing surprise percentages of 12.74% and 2.98%, respectively. Deere & Company Price, Consensus and EPS Surprise Deere & Company price-consensus-eps-surprise-chart | Deere & Company Quote Management did not frame the quarter as a broad-based acceleration. Instead, executives emphasized that the company is operating through different cycle positions across its businesses, with large agriculture still under pressure, while Small Ag & Turf and Construction & Forestry supported the enterprise. Director of Investor Relations Christopher Seibert said equipment operations margin reached 16.9%, while management kept fiscal 2026 net income guidance at $4.5 billion to $5.0 billion. That unchanged outlook was a central message throughout the call. Deere Sees Different Cycles Across Units CFO Brent Norwood said large agriculture is running below trough levels, Small Ag & Turf is moving toward mid-cycle and Construction & Forestry is slightly above mid-cycle. That framing helped explain why Deere kept stressing resilience rather than recovery. Production & Precision Agriculture remained the weak point. Segment sales fell 14% to $4.503 billion and operating margin compressed to 15.7% from 22.0% a year ago, reflecting lower shipment volumes and higher production costs. The offset came from the other segments. Small Ag & Turf...

Standard Chartered Plc Chief Executive Officer Bill Winters apologized for his comments earlier this week about how artificial intelligence will affect “lower-value human capital,” after such remarks spurred public backlash. Winters wrote in a LinkedIn post on Friday that he recognized his “choice of words” has “caused upset to some colleagues.” The note came just hours after Winters doubled down on his remarks in a separate LinkedIn post . He wrote that the bank has for many years invested in helping staff whose roles have been upended by automation. “In that context, I said that lower-value roles are more vulnerable to automation, and that we have a responsibility to help colleagues move into higher-value roles,” he wrote. “We will continue to speak honestly about the impact of technological change, and we will continue to act responsibly in helping our people to adapt and succeed.” Winters made contentious remarks earlier this week when referring how artificial intelligence would play a role in the bank’s plans to cut thousands of roles. “It’s not cost cutting; it’s replacing in some cases lower-value human capital with the financial capital and the investment capital we’re putting in,” he said at a briefing in Hong Kong on Tuesday. Some regulators in Asia held discussions with the lender following his remarks, and Winters had also sent a memo to staff in a reassurance effort in the days after. The phrasing drew condemnation on social media and across Asia, a region that generates most of its profits. It underscores the delicate balance top financiers face as shareholders push for cost cuts and deeper adoption of AI, even as companies seek to show empathy toward displaced employees. He spoke after the London-based lender disclosed plans to eliminate close to 8,000 support roles over the next four years, making it one of the first global banks to set out how it expects AI to trim headcount.

Key Points Social Security benefits got a 2.8% COLA in 2026. Many seniors are hoping for a larger boost in 2027. Initial estimates say that may be possible, but it's too early to bank on a significant increase. The $23,760 Social Security bonus most retirees completely overlook › You'll often hear that it's important to claim your Social Security benefits strategically because the monthly payment amount you lock in when you file is what the program will pay you for life. But that's not entirely true. Social Security benefits are eligible for an annual cost-of-living adjustment, or COLA. COLAs are meant to help Social Security benefits keep pace with inflation so seniors don't lose buying power over time. 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 » Social Security COLAs are based on third-quarter inflation changes. So it's too soon to know what next year's raise will look like. Still, recent inflation data could provide a clue as to what to expect from Social Security's COLA next year. Inflation readings point to a more generous COLA in 2027 Inflation has been creeping upward in the wake of the Iran conflict. Following April's Consumer Price Index, the Senior Citizens League, an advocacy group, raised its 2027 Social Security COLA projection from 2.8% to 3.9%. That's a pretty notable boost. And it would likely be meaningful for retirees who get most or all of their income from Social Security. Right now, the average monthly Social Security benefit is about $2,081. A 2.8% COLA would boost that benefit by about $58 a month. A 3.9% COLA, on the other hand, would result in a monthly bump of $81. However, it's important to recognize that it's too early to predict next year's COLA with certainty. So you shouldn't necessarily plan your 2027 budget around that estimate. Have limited expectations Even i...
