South Korea shut down the heart of Seoul on Saturday for a comeback concert by K-pop supergroup BTS , as authorities prepare for an estimated 260,000 fans to flood the city’s streets and millions more to watch the show live on Netflix The one-hour-long concert, set to be held in the capital’s historic Gwanghwamun Square, marks the release of the seven-member group’s first new album in more than three years and the start of a global tour in April. BTS made their debut in 2013 and have since gone on to global superstardom, becoming the most streamed K-pop artist globally on Spotify, with its members invited to the White House and partnering with the UN General Assembly. In 2022, the group went on hiatus so the members could complete South Korea’s mandatory military service. Advertisement “The City of Seoul will do its best to make it flexible – to make [the performance] both safe and enjoyable,” said Seoul mayor Oh Se-hoon on Thursday as he checked safety measures put in place. Seoul is staging the event nearly four years after a crowd crush killed Halloween revellers in the city’s Itaewon nightlife district. Memories of the disaster still linger, amplifying pressure on South Korean authorities to ensure the safety of what is expected to be one of its largest-ever public gatherings. Advertisement Seoul police have shut streets and erected fences as well as metal detectors around the square, which sits to the south of the Gyeongbokgung Palace. They have also said they will jam signals of any unauthorised drones. The Seoul government, BTS’ management agency HYBE and other organisations involved in the event have also deployed a combined 8,200 personnel to manage the crowds, who had already begun to gather on Friday.

Key Points Supermicro employees have been indicted by the DOJ for illegally selling Nvidia servers to China. This is just the latest black mark on the company. 10 stocks we like better than Super Micro Computer › Shares of Super Micro Computer (NASDAQ: SMCI) plunged this week after the company found itself in the midst of yet another scandal. The company has been a magnet for controversy over the years and has come under scrutiny from both short-sellers and government regulatory agencies alike. The latest blow to the company comes after the U.S. Justice Department indicted three Supermicro employees, including one of its co-founders, for violating the Export Control Reform Act. The government has accused the employees of smuggling around $2.5 billion worth of servers with Nvidia graphics processing units (GPUs) to China. The U.S. has strict rules against sending its top chips to China to protect national security interests, and the three Supermicro employees went to great lengths to hide these sales. 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 » In 2024, short-seller Hindenburg Research accused Supermicro of accounting irregularities and raised concerns about potential export control violations. Supermicro had already been fined by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in 2020 for recognizing revenue early and understating expenses. Soon after the short report, the company delayed the filing of its 10-K annual report, which led to a long delay, and its auditor, Ernst and Young (E&Y), eventually resigned. Auditors tend to be a conservative bunch, and at the time, E&Y made the unusual move of harshly criticizing Supermicro on its way out the door. The firm questioned Supermicro's governance, transparency, and internal controls, while saying it was "unwilling to be associated with the financ...

Feinberg Orders Maven Embedded Across All Military Branches Maven is a command-and-control platform that rapidly analyzes data from satellites, drones, radars, sensors, and intelligence reports, using AI to automatically flag potential threats and targets such as enemy vehicles, buildings, and weapons stockpiles. Palantir and the Pentagon did not immediately respond to Benzinga‘s requests for comment. A Windfall for Palantir’s Government Business Designating Maven as a program of record streamlines its adoption across all arms of the military and secures stable, long-term funding — a significant win for Palantir, which already landed a U.S. Army contract worth up to $10 billion last summer. The company’s stock has roughly doubled over the past year, pushing its market cap to nearly $360 billion. Price Action: Shares of Palantir closed down over 3% at $150.68 on Friday. The stock was slightly up in trading after the bell, having lost about 10% so far this year, according to Benzinga Pro. According to Benzinga Edge Stock Rankings, Palantir shares are showing an upward trend in the short and long-term, although the company’s Growth score ranks in the 98th percentile.

Watch: China Claims Cyborg Breakthrough To Build An "Army Of Centaurs" Researchers at Southern University of Science and Technology in Shenzhen have unveiled a wearable robotic system that adds a pair of independent mechanical legs and a torso framework to a human wearer, forming a four-legged hybrid to assist with carrying heavy loads across difficult terrain such as stairs, ramps, and uneven ground, according to the South China Morning Post . Led by Chenglong Fu, the team of scientists designed the device to combine human cognitive advantages in path planning and decision-making with robotic capabilities for load-bearing and endurance in environments too hazardous or complex for fully autonomous systems . An elastic coupling mechanism synchronizes the robotic legs with the user's movements, allowing the hybrid to share more than half the payload weight while preserving natural gait and balance. The system consists of two independent robotic legs and a robotic torso which can be attached to the user via a compliant elastic interface forming a four-legged human-centaur. Photo: Handout In tests, the system cut the wearer’s net metabolic cost of walking while carrying a 44-pound load by 35% compared with a conventional backpack and reduced peak plantar pressure by 52%, fueling media speculation in China that the technology could serve as the foundation for a large-scale “army of centaurs” to augment the Asian superpower’s military personnel. Cyber-centaurs are here: Chinese engineers unveil a clip-on “robot butt” Chinese engineers have presented an exoskeleton that attaches to the waist and hips to help carry heavy backpacks.

Shares of Nebius Group (NBIS 3.21%) shot up 15% on March 16 after it emerged that Meta Platforms (META 2.11%) awarded a massive contract to the neocloud infrastructure provider.

Shares of Nebius Group (NBIS 3.21%) shot up 15% on March 16 after it emerged that Meta Platforms (META 2.11%) awarded a massive contract to the neocloud infrastructure provider. Nebius stock has already jumped 47% in 2026, and it appears its shares can maintain their terrific bull run for a long time to come. Let's look at the reasons why the latest contract from Meta can supercharge this artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure stock. The Meta deal has given a massive boost to Nebius' revenue pipeline I predicted last month that Nebius could become the beneficiary of Meta's expanded partnership with Nvidia. That prediction now stands true, as Meta is going to purchase $12 billion worth of AI cloud computing capacity from Nebius over five years, powered by Nvidia's latest Vera Rubin processors. Nebius will start deploying this capacity early next year. Expand NASDAQ : NBIS Nebius Group Today's Change ( -3.21 %) $ -3.90 Current Price $ 117.62 Key Data Points Market Cap $31B Day's Range $ 112.63 - $ 123.72 52wk Range $ 18.31 - $ 141.10 Volume 17M Avg Vol 14M Gross Margin -765.63 % What's more, Meta has committed to purchasing an additional $15 billion in data center capacity from Nebius over the same duration. Nebius says that it currently intends to sell this capacity to other customers, with Meta poised to purchase the surplus. So, the latest Meta contract has virtually guaranteed strong revenue growth for Nebius. It is worth noting that Meta signed a five-year, $3 billion contract with Nebius in December 2025. The latest deal significantly expands on that number. What's more, Nebius bagged a lucrative five-year contract with Microsoft in September last year, valued at up to $19.4 billion. Assuming Nebius sells $27 billion of AI cloud capacity to Meta from 2027 to 2031, the company's overall revenue backlog for this period is close to $50 billion (including the prior Meta deal and the Microsoft contract). That's a huge number for a company whose 2025 revenue stoo...

Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. shares tanked on Thursday following its fiscal third-quarter results, as the e-commerce giant co-founded by Jack Ma reported revenue and earnings that missed analyst expectations. The company posted quarterly revenue of $40.73 billion, up 2% year-over-year, missing the analyst consensus estimate of $41.26 billion. On a like-for-like basis, excluding revenue from the divested Sun Art and Intime businesses, Alibaba’s revenue would have grown 9% Y/Y. The adjusted earnings per American Depositary Share (ADS) came in at $1.01, missing the analyst consensus estimate of $1.73. Don't Miss: Adjusted net income declined 67% to $2.39 billion, while adjusted EBITA slipped 57% Y/Y to $3.35 billion, reflecting investments in Taobao Instant Commerce and enhancements to user experiences and technology. Net income, however, fell 66% Y/Y, primarily attributable to the decrease in income from operations. Segment Performance Alibaba’s China E-commerce Group revenue rose 6% to $22.79 billion. The company expanded its quick commerce business during the quarter, improving user experience and efficiency while focusing more on higher-value food orders and non-food categories. It increased average order value and improved unit economics by improving logistics, optimizing the order mix, and strengthening customer retention. It rebranded Ele.me to Taobao Instant Commerce to align it more closely with the Taobao app and integrated the service into the Qwen app in January 2026 to reach more users. Customer management revenue rose 1% Y/Y, as weaker transactions and the phase-out of software service fee benefits slowed growth. However, the Taobao app saw double-digit growth in monthly active users, supported by the expanding quick commerce business. The company also grew its 88VIP membership base by double digits to over 59 million and plans to improve retention by offering greater value to its top customers.

BDO eventually took over as auditor, and Supermicro filed its reports without restating past numbers, thus keeping an adverse opinion report active about its internal controls. One of the most interesting things to come out of the DOJ investigation is that sales manager Ruei-Tsan "Steven" Chang apparently kept auditors from inspecting a Southeast Asian company's storage facilities that were ...
