In this article MSFT Follow your favorite stocks CREATE FREE ACCOUNT Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella speaks at the Microsoft AI Tour event in Munich, Germany, on Feb. 25, 2026 Sven Hoppe | Picture Alliance | Getty Images Microsoft said Thursday that it will keep startup Anthropic's artificial intelligence technology embedded in its products for clients, excluding the U.S. Department of War. Earlier on Thursday, the federal agency informed Anthropic that it would label the company a supply-chain risk. Anthropic subsequently said it intends to challenge the move in court. Last week U.S. President Donald Trump called for federal agencies to drop their use of Anthropic, and Secretary of War Pete Hegseth said Anthropic would keep providing its services to the Pentagon for no more than six months. CNBC has confirmed that Anthropic models played a role in U.S. airstrikes on Iran in recent days. Shortly after talks between the Department of War and Anthropic fell apart regarding mass domestic surveillance and fully autonomous weapons on Friday, Anthropic rival OpenAI said the Pentagon had agreed to run its models for classified workloads. Microsoft is the first major company to say it will keep working with Anthropic after the Pentagon's actions. Some defense technology companies have told employees to stop using Anthropic's Claude models and migrate to alternatives. "Our lawyers have studied the designation and have concluded that Anthropic products, including Claude, can remain available to our customers — other than the Department of War — through platforms such as M365, GitHub, and Microsoft's AI Foundry and that we can continue to work with Anthropic on non-defense related projects," a Microsoft spokesperson told CNBC in an email. Microsoft supplies its technology to a variety of U.S. government agencies. The Microsoft 365 productivity software is widely used inside the Department of War. In September Microsoft said it was integrating Anthropic's generative artificial inte...

Earnings Call Insights: Distribution Solutions Group (DSGR) Q4 2025 Management View CEO John King acknowledged, "Our financial results fell short of our expectations in the fourth quarter and for the year, and we own that." He emphasized 2025 as an "internally focused reinvestment, retooling and digesting year for DSG" with significant one-time cost impacts and dynamic supply chain and pricing environments. King highlighted a sharpened focus on core fundamentals, timely accountability, and accelerated investments in talent and capabilities as the foundation for long-term value creation, stating, "We go into 2026 with an enhanced perspective on our competitive positioning and long-term levers to drive performance across our North American and global platforms." Gexpro Services delivered "outstanding operating results in 2025," with organic average daily sales up 12.3% and full year ADS up 13%. King reported, "Adjusted EBITDA has expanded from approximately $35 million to $64 million in 2025, with margins expanding nearly 300 basis points to 12.8%." He noted investments in automation, AI-enabled tools, and global expansion, especially in India and Southeast Asia, while referencing margin pressure from new renewables programs. Lawson Products continued sales momentum with a 2.7% increase in average daily sales in Q4, but smaller local account revenue remained challenged. King announced two strategic leadership hires: Jim Slomka as Chief Revenue Officer and Hillary Bryant as Chief People Officer. The Canadian Branch Division completed four facility consolidations in 2025 and faced sequential revenue decline due to holiday softness and macro headwinds. TestEquity Group saw full year average daily sales grow 2%, with Q4 revenue up 0.9%. King described a "massive investment in additional leadership capabilities and tools," a more disciplined focus on higher-margin business, and a growing backlog in early 2026. CFO Ronald Knutson reported, "Consolidated revenues for the yea...

A sign showing a photo of US President Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein is displayed as US Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, Democrat of New York, speaks during a press conference to announce oversight efforts on the files of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, at the US Capitol in Washington, DC, on February 26, 2026. Brendan Smialowski | Afp | Getty Images The Justice Department on Thursday released additional Jeffrey Epstein files involving uncorroborated accusations made by a woman against President Donald Trump that the department said had been mistakenly withheld during an earlier review. The department said last week that it was working to determine if any records were improperly withheld after several news organizations reported that the massive tranche of records that had been made public didn't include some files documenting a series of interviews conducted in 2019 with a woman who made an allegation against Trump. The accuser was interviewed by the FBI four times as it sought to assess her account but a summary of only one of those interviews had been included in the publicly released files. On Thursday, the department said those files had been "incorrectly coded as duplicative," and therefore were inadvertently not published along with other investigative documents related to the disgraced financier, who killed himself while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges in 2019. "As we have consistently done, if any member of the public reported concerns with information in the library, the Department would review, make any corrections, and republish online," the department said in a post on X. Trump has consistently denied any wrongdoing in connection with Epstein. The department noted in January that some of the documents contain "untrue and sensationalist claims against President Trump that were submitted to the FBI right before the 2020 election." The new disclosures come as Attorney General Pam Bondi faces continued turmoil over the department's...

TOPSHOT - Currency dealers monitor exchange rates in a foreign exchange dealing room at the Hana Bank headquarters in Seoul on February 2, 2026. South Korea's benchmark index Kospi tumbled more than five percent on February 2, in line with a sell-off across Asian markets amid fresh worries about an AI-fuelled tech rally that has sparked fears of a bubble in the sector. (Photo by Jung Yeon-je / AFP via Getty Images) Jung Yeon-je | Afp | Getty Images South Korea's stock market has swung wildly in recent days, underscoring how the world's best-performing equities market last year is turning into its most volatile one. The benchmark Kospi index plunged as much as 12% on Wednesday, marking its largest single-day drop on record, before staging a powerful rebound in the next session, up nearly 10%, marking its best day since 2008. It was trading over 1% lower on Friday. The whipsaw comes as investors reassess risks from the escalating war in the Middle East, which has sent oil prices surging and rattled markets globally, and the market's concentration in a few stocks. While the global risk-off mood has played a major role, experts said Korean market's concentration in two memory giants and its sensitivity to energy shocks has made it particularly vulnerable to sharp swings. "Korea is a bit of an outlier, if you look at the other stock markets' reaction," said Jason Hsu, chief executive officer at Rayliant Global Advisors. He added that the Kospi's heavy concentration in a handful of technology stocks, meant that market moves tend to be magnified relative to more diversified indices. Stock Chart Icon Stock chart icon Performance of South Korean stocks year-on-year "It is natural its volatility is enormous," he told CNBC. SK Hynix, is up nearly 45% this year, having skyrocketed 274% last year. Similarly, Samsung Electronics, which is up about 60% since the start of the year, surged 125% in 2025. Both make up about one-third of Kospi's total market capitalization as of early ...
