Why Meta will launch new chip every 6 months One of Meta’s in-house chips are already deployed Facebook-parent company Meta is the latest tech giant to announce that it is working on custom chips to tackle AI tasks – training and inference. The social media powerhouse has revealed a suite of four in-house AI chips designed to power its massive data centre expansion. With this move, Meta is now placed alongside rivals like Google, Microsoft and Amazon, who have all developed their own specialised chips to reduce their reliance on expensive and supply-hit hardware from vendors like Nvidia and AMD.Meta is moving fast as the company plans to release new versions of its Meta Training and Inference Accelerator (MTIA) chips every six months. The company said that it has developed “a competitive strategy” that prioritise “rapid, iterative development, an inference-first focus, and frictionless adoption by building natively on industry standards.”Meta says that the reason to launch a chip every 6 months is to adapt to evolving AI techniques and technologies. Furthermore, it says that the focus will be on inference rather than carrying out most demanding workloads.“While the industry typically launches a new AI chip every one to two years, we’ve developed the capacity to release ours every six months or less by building on our modular, reusable designs. This accelerated pace enables us to quickly adapt to evolving AI techniques, adopt the latest hardware technologies, and minimize costs associated with developing and deploying new chip generations,” the company explained.“Mainstream chips are typically built for the most demanding workload — large-scale GenAI pre-training — and then applied, often less cost-effectively, to other workloads like GenAI inference. We take the opposite approach: MTIA 450 and 500 are optimized first for GenAI inference, and they can then be used to support other workloads as needed, including ranking and recommendations training and inference, as w...

The EV winter is here, brought on by poor planning, overly ambitious sales targets, and changing government policies.

M. Suhail/iStock Editorial via Getty Images Shares of Dick’s Sporting Goods ( DKS ) have been a mixed performer over the past year, trading close to flat. While the company has reported solid financial results and remains a strong operator, there are strategic questions still outstanding about its acquisition of Foot Locker that have weighed on sentiment. More recently, the surge in oil prices threatens to weaken discretionary consumer spending. I last covered Dick’s in November , rating shares a “sell” given my concerns about Foot Locker. Since then, the stock is down about 5%. With updated financials, now is a good time to revisit DKS. Seeking Alpha In the company’s fourth quarter , Dick’s Sporting Goods earned $3.45, which beat estimates by $0.51; revenue was up 60% but that is because this was the company’s first full quarter having ownership of Foot Locker. Foot Locker was $0.60 dilutive to EPS vs stand-alone Dick’s given the need to issue about ~10 million shares as part of the deal and the fact Foot Locker detracted about $15 million from net income. I expect Foot Locker to remain dilutive to stand-alone Dick’s at least through 2026, though the magnitude of the headwind should narrow. I continue to question the long-term benefits of this deal. As a reminder with this acquisition, Dick’s is now a global business given FL’s large international presence. Dick's Sporting Goods Dick's standalone performance was strong In Q4, same-store sales growth at Dick’s was 3.1%. Impressively, operating margins were up 90bps to 11%. The company has weathered the tariff pressure quite well so far. Of course, subsequent to quarter end, the Supreme Court overturned most of the Administration’s tariffs. There are now interim 15% tariffs in place, and I expect the Administration to use other legal authority to reimpose tariffs. As such, I do not expect tariff rates to necessarily fall going forward. One outstanding question is whether refunds are issued. I expect this to be a long...

Palantir Technologies (NASDAQ: PLTR) received a reiterated ‘Buy’ rating from Truist Securities on Wednesday, March 11, with the firm maintaining a $223 price target. The price target came after analyst Arvind Ramnani met with Palantir’s CFO, Chief Architect, and Head of Investor Relations, a meeting that reinforced the investment bank’s view that the software company is evolving into an artificial intelligence (AI) leader among enterprise and government customers. According to Ramnani, Palantir’s financial performance has been a sign of strong growth momentum. Notably, the firm’s revenue has surged 56% over the past 12 months, while gross profit margins have climbed to 82%, showing just how scalable its platform is. “We met with PLTR’s CFO, Chief Architect, and Head of IR along with investors at their offices to get a deeper understanding of their offering. The meeting reinforced our thesis that PLTR is emerging as the AI operating system layer for enterprises and government,” Ramnani wrote. Truist Securities sets Palantir price target Truist also pointed to two key competitive advantages underpinning Palantir’s model. First, its Ontology framework contextualizes and organizes enterprise data. Second, its hands-on deployment model that uses field engineers to integrate software directly within client operations. These factors, Truist argued, give Palantir deeper insight into customer workflows and allow it to develop operating systems capable of connecting fragmented data in real time to improve decision-making. “Our conversations reinforced our view on two key competitive advantages of Palantir’s model: 1) the Ontology (data contextualization) of its platforms, and 2) the upfront deployment processes involving FDEs. These provide PLTR with a deep understanding of its customers’ problems to develop operating systems that can tie together fragmented data in real-time to inform better decision-making,” Ramnani added. A separate tailwind came on March 12, as Palantir a...

The former NBC producer says she was repeatedly assaulted by Matt Lauer, an anchor at the network – then spent years blaming herself in the aftermath. She talks about power, preconceptions and life after #MeToo When Brooke Nevils’ allegations about the former NBC anchor Matt Lauer, one of the most powerful TV stars in the US, became public in 2019, she found herself reading comments about herself online. Nevils, formerly a producer at NBC, had alleged in Ronan Farrow’s book Catch and Kill that Lauer had sexually assaulted her in his hotel room, after an evening drinking while covering the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia. Back in New York, there were other incidents – she went to his apartment, where she says it happened again. In his dressing room at the NBC studios, Nevils claims Lauer pushed her down and forced her to give him oral sex. Lauer has consistently denied Nevils’ allegations, in an open letter describing it as an “extramarital affair”. Lauer maintains that Nevils’ account is “filled with false details” creating the impression that the encounter was abusive. No charges were ever brought. Continue reading...

John M. Chase/iStock Unreleased via Getty Images Upgrading RKLB To "Buy" I covered Rocket Lab Corp. ( RKLB ) twice , and in both articles, I rated the stock as a "Hold" because I feared the heightened valuation and the lack of Neutron launch updates at the time. Time has passed, and now I think RKLB has gotten much more attractive in terms of its risk/reward setup, given the recent corporate updates, improved financials, and the valuation reset that has taken place. I like the strength in the backlog, and also the fact that RKLB's closest rival - SpaceX ( SPACE ) - is in talks for a valuation boost on its upcoming IPO , indirectly pointing to a lot of potential value unlocking for RKLB shareholders. The technical setup after the correction of over 25% since mid-January 2026 looks favorable for the bulls, so I'm upgrading RKLB to the very first "Buy". My Updated Reasoning On RKLB Since RKLB reported for its Q4 results in late February 2026, the stock price hasn't really gone anywhere (RKLB even dropped initially): Data by YCharts But I see more positives in the financial updates. RKLB's revenues almost reached $180 million (+35.7% YoY), and the adjusted net loss per share was only at negative 5 cents, which was better than the loss of 6 cents last year in Q4. Both top and bottom line headline figures beat the consensus expectations by 0.82% and 10%, respectively, according to Seeking Alpha . The gross margins - probably the key metric to monitor when we talk about hyper-growth companies and their prospective scaling - improved to 44.3% on an adjusted basis in Q4, thanks to higher launch cadence and increased space systems component businesses (the margins are structurally higher there). In Q4 alone, RKLB executed a record seven missions, so for the entire fiscal 2025, they had 21 successful Electron and HASTE launches with 100% mission success rate. In addition to the Launch services segment's revenues ($75.9 million, +85% QoQ), RKLB's Space Systems segment delivered...

美国总统特朗普周四表示，油价上涨意味着美国将获得更多利润，但他的首要任务是阻止伊朗拥有核武器。 周四，油价跳涨6%，逼近每桶100美元。此前两艘油轮在伊拉克港口遭疑似装有爆炸物的伊朗船只袭击后起火。 尽管国际能源署（IEA）30多个成员国前日宣布将协同释放4亿桶全球石油储备，其中约40%将来自全球最大产油国美国，油价仍上涨。 战争已迫使中东海湾国家减产至少1000万桶/日，相当于全球需求量的约10%。IEA周四表示，这是全球市场历史上最大规模的石油供应干扰。 责任编辑：刘明亮

CF Industries sits in an interesting spot as energy volatility rattles much of the market. The key is understanding what natural gas means to CF, which makes nitrogen fertilizer. Gas is not a secondary input. It is the cost structure. Natural gas accounts for roughly 34% of total production costs and about 80% to 85% of the cost of producing ammonia, the foundational building block for CF's fertilizer. That means feedstock matters enormously. A $1-per-MMBtu move in gas prices changes ammonia production costs by about $32 per ton, granular urea by $22 per ton, urea ammonium nitrate (UAN) by $14 per ton and ammonium nitrate by $16 per ton. In 2025, CF's gas cost rose to $3.31 per MMBtu from $2.40 in 2024, and that increase cut gross margin by about $316 million. As I write this, the front-month Henry Hub future was ~$3.26 per MMBtu on Wednesday. It might seem that sharply rising natural gas prices in some places could harm CF, but the issue isn't the absolute cost of gas — it's where CF sits on the global cost curve. CF's real advantage is that it is a large North American nitrogen producer with access to comparatively cheap U.S. natural gas. That matters because international competitors, especially in Europe and parts of Asia, are paying substantially more. If European and Asian producers pay more, CF will enjoy a significant input-cost advantage. The negotiated price can vary by location, but to gauge the magnitude of the difference, we can compare the price of the ICE Endex Dutch TTF natural gas contract with the CME/NYMEX Henry Hub contract. To do this, a little math is necessary because the Dutch contract is valued at 37,191.82 euros for 744 MWh. So: $1.1548 ~ 1 euro 1 MWh = 3.412 MMBtu $42,949.11 = 2,538.53 MMBtu $16.9189 / MMBtu, over 420% higher than the U.S. Henry Hub contract. In a world where global oil and gas prices remain elevated, many businesses simply see their margins squeezed. But higher global energy prices can actually be constructive for CF beca...
