Oracle (ORCL +10.88%) might well be the Rodney Dangerfield of cloud providers -- "I don't get no respect." Despite reporting better-than-expected results for two consecutive quarters, the stock has fallen 54% over the past six months. Soaring capital spending and fears about a slowing in demand for artificial intelligence (AI) have weighed on the cloud infrastructure and AI provider. After the market closed on Tuesday, Oracle reported its results, and the stock is finally getting a little love, climbing roughly 11% in after-hours trading. Robust results and a stunning backlog Oracle reported the results of its fiscal 2026 third quarter (ended Feb. 28), and both sales and profit growth came in ahead of expectations. Revenue of $17.2 billion climbed 22% year over year, fueling adjusted earnings per share (EPS) that increased 21% to $1.79. For context, analysts' consensus estimates were calling for revenue of $16.9 billion and EPS of $1.70, so Oracle surpassed those benchmarks with room to spare. The company's cloud segment grew 44% year over year to $8.9 billion, and now accounts for more than half of Oracle's total sales. The vast majority of that rise came courtesy of Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) -- which competes in cloud computing with the likes of Amazon Web Services, Alphabet's Google Cloud, and Microsoft Azure -- which grew 84% year over year in the current quarter. Oracle's backlog was the centerpiece of the results. CEO Safra Catz revealed that the company's remaining performance obligation (RPO) -- a backlog of future sales -- rose to $553 billion, surging 325% year over year. Driving the increase was several "large-scale AI contracts" signed during the quarter.

JasonDoiy Meta Platforms ( META ) is planning to deploy four new generations of its self-developed AI chips by 2027. On Wednesday, Meta announced plans for the four new chips — MTIA 300, MTIA 400, MTIA 450 and MTIA 500 — as a part of its efforts to diversify its chip portfolio, reduce reliance on outside chips, and bring down costs. Meta said that while it remains committed to a diverse silicon portfolio and to using the best solutions available — both internally and externally — the Meta Training and Inference Accelerator, or MTIA, its family of homegrown AI chips developed in partnership with Broadcom ( AVGO ), will continue to be an important part of Meta’s AI infrastructure strategy. Meta had recently announced deals to spend billions on AI infrastructure from Nvidia ( NVDA ), Advanced Micro Devices ( AMD ), and Alphabet's ( GOOG ) ( GOOGL ) Google. The company said the new chips have either already been deployed or are scheduled for deployment in 2026 or 2027, expanding workload coverage from ranking and recommendation, or R&R, inference to R&R training, general GenAI workloads, and GenAI inference with targeted optimizations. AI inference is the process of running a trained AI model to make predictions on new, unseen data. Meta said MTIA 300 is already in production for R&R training. The company has finished testing MTIA 400 in its labs and is on track to deploy the chip in its data centers. The company noted that MTIA 450 and MTIA 500 are scheduled for mass deployment in early 2027. Meta said that anticipating the rise in GenAI inference demand, MTIA 400 transitioned into MTIA 450, with specific optimizations for GenAI inference. The company added that since the bandwidth of high-bandwidth memory, or HBM, is the most important factor affecting GenAI inference performance, it doubled HBM bandwidth from MTIA 400 to 450. Meanwhile, MTIA 500 increased HBM bandwidth by an additional 50% compared to MTIA 450. "Given the rapid pace of AI innovation, we have built th...

JHVEPhoto/iStock Editorial via Getty Images When I wrote about QuantumScape ( QS ) a while back, my basic view was that the company was leaning closer to commercialization and this gradual process was also a way to keep validating the technological solution. I still think that directionally the company is right, but now I also think we can define the thesis much more precisely. The company is no longer a bet that the technology, solid-state lithium-metal battery, can work in a lab. It is evolving into a bet that the company can morph to a manufacturing and licensing platform that can monetize the transference of that knowledge, without the need to go through a painful and capital intensive scale-up that could overwhelm them. The bullish news is that several developments point towards this opportunity becoming more plausible. The bearish news is that the friction is now on the hardest part: to make this an industrial process. The strategy pivot is real The most important catalyst remains the PowerCo agreement. The July 2024 agreement with Volkswagen’s subsidiary was the first credible path towards the industrial development and implementation of the battery technology based on the QSE-5 process. Under this license agreement, PowerCo was to receive a non-exclusive license, subject to royalty payments and also prepay an initial $130M subject to the achievement of milestones. That marked a fork in the road . Up until that point, the company was perceived as a company that would ultimately transfer its knowledge into a large manufacturing footprint. This deal offered an attractive alternative. Let the partner fund the heavy-capital industrial footprint, while the company monetizes its manufacturing process knowledge. Later in 2025 , both parties amended the deal, deepening the relationship by increasing the maximum annual production rights from 40 GWh to 85 GWh. The interesting aspect here is that the company has two main risks: uncertainty in terms of R&D development an...

Taiwanese rock band Mayday has sought to calm fans angered by the abrupt cancellation of one of its concerts planned for Hong Kong by inviting them to a free rehearsal, as complaints over the scrapped show soared to more than 100. The city’s customs chief also weighed in on Wednesday, warning that enforcement action would be taken if any laws were breached. The Consumer Council said that as of 5pm, it had received 111 complaints about the cancelled show – 42 from local consumers and 69 from fans outside the city, most of them from mainland China. Advertisement The complaints involved a total of HK$296,194 (US$37,860). The largest local case amounted to HK$6,700, while the highest case from outside the city involved HK$8,000. The band’s record company, B’in Music, announced late Monday that the show at Kai Tak Sports Park scheduled for March 24 would be cancelled, but an additional performance on March 29 would be added as part of the “Mayday #5525+1 Live Tour” in Hong Kong. Advertisement Local fans complained that organisers failed to provide priority purchase or ticket exchange options for other shows. Fans from outside the city said they were not compensated for travel and accommodation expenses.
