Good morning. Let’s talk about an issue that doesn’t get nearly enough attention: canine unemployment. I thought of this as I read about the new breed of robot guard dogs that are apparently being deployed to protect data centers. These mechanical quadrupeds, made by the likes of Boston Dynamics and Ghost Robotics, can patrol premises, scanning the perimeter for intruders, spies, and other ne’er-do-wells, and sounding the alarm when holes in fences or other suspicious things are detected. To be fair, it seems like these robo-guard-dogs are still pretty rare—a Ghost Robotics executive tells Business Insider its product has been deployed at just a “handful” of datacenters. But we all know it’s a slippery slope. After they prove their worth as guard dogs, the robots could replace search-and-rescue dogs, sled race dogs, and circus dogs. Even emotional support dogs could be out of work. And unlike the situation with humans, no one that I’m aware of is talking about keeping “canines-in-the-loop.” What happens when all these pups have nothing to do all day? Are we prepared for what lies ahead? Today’s tech news below. Alexei Oreskovic @lexnfx alexei.oreskovic@fortune.com Want to send thoughts or suggestions to Fortune Tech? Drop a line here.

One of the biggest winners of the AI boom is in Boise, Idaho, the land of potatoes—and of memory chipmaker Micron. Micron's sales tripled year-over-year to $23.9 billion in its fiscal second quarter, thanks to red-hot demand for its chips. Gross profit margins swelled to 74.4%, versus 36.8% a year ago. That's what happens when a construction boom of AI data centers causes a global shortage of memory chips and a spike in prices. Micron is one of top three global producers (along with Samsung and Hynix) of the high-bandwidth memory that's paired with Nvidia's GPUs to train and run AI models. Companies can't get enough of the stuff. And as Micr...

Kenneth Cheung/iStock Unreleased via Getty Images Context Trip.com’s ( TCOM ) share price has dropped 30% over the past 6 months after it was reported the company is being probed by Chinese regulators over anti-competitive practices. The resignation of the two founders did not help improve matters, and Trip.com’s share price remains relatively undervalued despite solid results. With around 20% upside, the stock offers an attractive entry point. Business context Trip.com is China’s largest online travel platform (OTA) with an estimated market share of over 50% . The vast majority of revenues are generated in China, where Trip.com (through their local platforms Ctrip and Qunar) competes against local players like Alibaba’s Fliggy ( BABA ), Meituan ( MPNGF ) ( MPNGY ), and Klook. Revenues are derived from four key segments: Accommodation reservations (commissions from hotel partners for rooms sold by Trip.com’s platforms) accounting for over 40% of revenues (as of 2025). Transportation ticketing (commissions on flight and train tickets), which accounts for around a third of revenues. Packaged tours (referral fees from transport and hotel partners), which account for under a tenth of revenues. Corporate travel (commission from transport ticketing, accommodation services, and packaged tours sold to corporate clients), which accounts for around 5% of revenues. Financial performance In FY 2025, revenues rose 17% YoY to CNY 62.4 billion. Accommodation reservation revenues rose 21% YoY to CNY 26 billion, while transportation ticketing revenues rose 11% YoY to CNY 22.5 billion. Packaged tour revenues rose 8% YoY to CNY 4.7 billion. Corporate travel revenues rose 13% YoY to CNY 2.8 billion. Net income was CNY 33 billion, but that was largely driven by a nearly CNY 20 billion gain from a one-time gain from the sale of their stake in MakeMyTrip in India. Adjusted for this gain, 2025 net income would have been lower than the CNY 16 billion net income generated in 2024 (after adju...

Stocks tumbled in early European trading on Thursday, following an escalation in strikes on key energy facilities in the Middle East. Strikes on energy infrastructure in Iran and Qatar pushed oil (BZ=F, CL=F) and gas (NG=F) prices higher on Thursday, with fears of a prolonged conflict in Middle East driving concerns of further disruption to global supply. Meanwhile, investors are also awaiting the Bank of England's latest interest rate decision, with the central bank expected to keep rates on hold. The UK's FTSE 100 (^FTSE) was down 1.8% at the time of writing, while the pan-European STOXX 600 (^STOXX) had declined 1.9%. Germany's DAX (^GDAXI) slid 2.4% and the CAC (^FCHI) in Paris headed 1.56% into the red. Here’s our daily roundup of the key trending stocks on Thursday. Micron Technology (MU) Shares in Micron (MU) slipped nearly 5% in pre-market trading on Thursday, after the memory chipmaker flagged higher planned capital expenditure (capex) for the year ahead. Sanjay Mehrotra, CEO of Micron, said that the company expected to increase its capex for the current 2026 fiscal year to above $25bn (£18.83bn), which is $20bn higher than its forecast outlined in its previous results. Micron's second quarter results, released after the market close on Wednesday, topped expectations. For the quarter, Micron (MU) reported earnings per share (EPS) of $12.20 on revenue of $23.86bn. Wall Street was anticipating EPS of $9.00 on revenue of $19.7bn year over year. Read more: Stocks tumble ahead of BoE and ECB rate decisions Looking ahead, Micron (MU) said it expected revenue to come in at $33.5bn, plus or minus $750m, for the third quarter. Diluted EPS is forecast to be $19.15, plus or minus $0.40. Matt Britzman, senior equity analyst at Hargreaves Lansdown, said: "Micron showed there’s still no let‑up in the pace of AI infrastructure build‑out, with results and guidance comfortably ahead of consensus in what was effectively a blowout set of numbers." "However, after rallying mor...

(RTTNews) - French stocks fell sharply Thursday morning, pushing the benchmark CAC 40 to a two-week low, as an escalation in tensions in the Middle East pushed up oil prices, triggering inflation concerns. Also, a hawkish tone by U.S. Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell on U.S. inflation added to the weak sentiment. Shares from financial and luxury sectors are among the major losers. The CAC 40 was down 142.05 points or 1.78% at 7,827.83 a few minutes before noon. Following attacks by Iran on energy facilities in the Middle East, including the crucial South Pars gas field, Brent crude futures surged above $119.00 a barrel earlier in the day, and despite dropping a bit to $114.50, remains high up (nearly 6.5%) over previous close. After leaving interest rates unchanged, Powell said in his post-meeting press conference on Wednesday that the U.S. is seeing "some progress on inflation" but "not as much as we had hoped." Powell warned that "you won't see the rate cut" if there isn't further progress on inflation because of the broader uncertainty linked to the Middle East conflict and President Trump's tariffs. Among the constituents of the benchmark index, only TotalEnergies (2.35%) and Sanofi (0.65%) are up in positive territory at present. Accor is plunging nearly 10% after U.S.-based short seller Grizzly Research said it had taken a short position in the stock and made allegations about a lack of safeguards around bookings. ArcelorMittal is down 6.5%. Societe Generale, Schneider Electric, STMicroelectronics, Kering, BNP Paribas, Stellantis, Saint Gobain and Airbus are down 3%-4%. Legrand is down nearly 3%. Michelin, Hermes International, Renault, Credit Agricole, Safran, Bouygues, L'Oreal, Bureau Veritas, Eiffage, Unibail Rodamco, EssilorLuxottica, Eurofins Scientific, Veolia Environment, Capgemini and Carrefour are declining by 1.7%-2.8%.

In recent trading, shares of Smith Douglas Homes Corp (Symbol: SDHC) have crossed above the average analyst 12-month target price of $13.12, changing hands for $13.39/share. When a stock reaches the target an analyst has set, the analyst logically has two ways to react: downgrade on valuation, or, re-adjust their target price to a higher level. Analyst reaction may also depend on the fundamental business developments that may be responsible for driving the stock price higher — if things are looking up for the company, perhaps it is time for that target price to be raised. There are 4 different analyst targets within the Zacks coverage universe contributing to that average for Smith Douglas Homes Corp, but the average is just that — a mathematical average. There are analysts with lower targets than the average, including one looking for a price of $11.50. And then on the other side of the spectrum one analyst has a target as high as $15.00. The standard deviation is $1.652. But the whole reason to look at the average SDHC price target in the first place is to tap into a "wisdom of crowds" effort, putting together the contributions of all the individual minds who contributed to the ultimate number, as opposed to what just one particular expert believes. And so with SDHC crossing above that average target price of $13.12/share, investors in SDHC have been given a good signal to spend fresh time assessing the company and deciding for themselves: is $13.12 just one stop on the way to an even higher target, or has the valuation gotten stretched to the point where it is time to think about taking some chips off the table?

Over the next five years, investors are going to see a lot more spending on artificial intelligence (AI) than previously thought imaginable.

Over the next five years, investors are going to see a lot more spending on artificial intelligence (AI) than previously thought imaginable. While there are fears about how much AI hyperscalers are already spending, I think that amount will continue to rise. If it does, several companies are slated to cash in, namely Nvidia (NVDA 0.80%), Broadcom (AVGO 1.66%), Micron (MU +0.01%), and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing (TSM 1.86%). All four businesses have a vested interest in seeing data center spending skyrocket. If spending continues to rise, like it's projected to do, all four of these companies will deliver monster returns. How high can AI spending go? The number you'll hear thrown around for AI capital expenditures the most is $650 billion, but that's just for the big four AI hyperscalers. That completely leaves out some other large AI players, as well as many of the private companies, like OpenAI or xAI, that are also spending a ton on AI infrastructure. It also doesn't include spending going on in China or any other part of the world. So it's easy to see this number ticking up closer to $1 trillion this year. McKinsey & Company projects that cumulative AI spending will be about $7 trillion up to 2030, so there's clearly a long runway. Nvidia's projection is more aggressive, as they believe global data center capital expenditures will rise to $3 trillion to $4 trillion annually by 2030. Either way, that's a huge amount of money being spent on AI infrastructure, and these four are well positioned to capitalize on it. These four stocks will soar if AI spending rises aggressively over the next five years The poster child of AI investing since the start has been Nvidia. This makes sense, as it's the world's most popular AI computing unit provider. Nvidia is seeing monster demand that won't slow down, and despite being the largest company in the world, its revenue rose 73% during the fourth quarter (ended Jan. 25) and is expected to rise to 77% in Q1. Nvidia is sti...

Cryptocurrencies have faced significant scrutiny in recent months. Large investors who had held the tokens since many of them first began trading have now sold at levels higher than previously seen, and economic and geopolitical concerns have also not helped the situation. There's also been concern that new technologies, such as quantum computing, could one day offer a level of encryption similar to that of blockchain technology. Many tokens, including XRP (XRP 3.19%), have sold off sharply this year, with the token down 18% (as of March 16). Still, sell-offs and bear markets in crypto have occurred numerous times, only for most tokens to reach new highs. Is this an opportunity for investors to swoop in and buy the dip on XRP? Could investing $10,000 in the token make you a millionaire? XRP has promise, but it's still risky Although it's true that there have been numerous sell-offs in crypto, this one feels a bit different. For one, it's happened while the regulatory environment has never been more supportive and while interest rates have fallen for more than a year. It's possible that the early, wild days of cryptocurrency may truly be coming to an end. That's why interested investors need to focus on tokens that operate on blockchain networks with real-world utility.
