The Hong Kong Red Cross has raised HK$530 million (US$67.8 million) to provide emergency and long-term support to residents affected by the deadly Tai Po fire , with the NGO expecting all its relief and recovery efforts to be finished in five years. Speaking more than three months after the blaze at Wang Fuk Court that killed 168 people and displaced nearly 5,000 more, the group said on Thursday that it had ended its donation drive. It also pledged to spend no more than 5 per cent of the funds on administrative fees. Advertisement Charity CEO Bonnie So Yuen-han, who is set to retire this month after more than three decades at the NGO, said the city had entered an “early recovery” stage. “We expected that it would take five years for all the emergency relief and long-term recovery, after assessing the scale of the disaster and the amount of resources devoted to supporting victims,” she said.

Neil Simpson and his guide Rob Poth won Great Britain's first medal of the Milan-Cortina Winter Paralympics with silver in the alpine combined. It is a third Paralympic medal overall for the visually impaired skier, who had recorded two fourth-place finishes earlier in these Games. In the alpine combined, skiers complete a run of both the super G and slalom, with their factored times combined to determine the final standings. Simpson and Poth had sat in fourth after the morning's super G, 0.57 seconds short of third place. But in the slalom, they recorded the fastest time of the day to move up two places as Canada’s Kalle Ericsson and his guide Sierra Smith fell out of contention. Italy's Giacomo Bertagnolli and guide Andrea Ravelli won gold, finishing 0.65 seconds ahead of Simpson and Poth overall, while Austria's Johannes Aigner and Nico Haberl won bronze.

Qualcomm Inc. (NASDAQ:QCOM) fell in Tuesday’s premarket trading. The broader market also weakened. Nasdaq futures slipped 0.20%. S&P 500 futures shed 0.30%. Export Rule Fears Drag Chip Stocks Lower Semiconductor stocks came under pressure last Friday. Reports emerged that the White House is planning stricter rules for foreign buyers purchasing large quantities of U.S. chips. The news triggered a broad selloff across growth-oriented tech stocks, including chipmakers, according to Benzinga Pro. Qualcomm, as a major chip supplier with significant overseas revenue, sits squarely in the crosshairs of any tightening export policy. Memory Crunch Adds To Qualcomm Headwinds Negative sentiment around QCOM also stems from a supply warning the company flagged recently. Qualcomm warned that booming AI data center memory demand is diverting supply away from consumer electronics. That shift is intensifying an already tight memory market and deepening shortages for device-focused chipmakers like Qualcomm. Technical Analysis Over the past year, Qualcomm has seen a decline of 10.89% in its stock value. Currently, the stock is trading 4.7% below its 20-day simple moving average (SMA) and 17.7% below its 100-day SMA, indicating a bearish trend in the short to medium term. The stock’s position near its 52-week low of $120.80, compared to a high of $205.95, suggests that it is closer to its lower valuation range within the past year. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) for Qualcomm stands at 39.01, which is considered neutral, indicating that the stock is neither overbought nor oversold. Earnings & Analyst Outlook Looking further out, the next major catalyst for the stock arrives with the Apr. 29, earnings report. EPS Estimate : $2.30 (Down from $2.85 YoY) : $2.30 (Down from $2.85 YoY) Revenue Estimate : $10.57 Billion (Down from $10.84 Billion YoY) : $10.57 Billion (Down from $10.84 Billion YoY) Valuation: P/E of 27.8x (Indicates premium valuation) The stock carries a Buy Rating with an a...

Adobe announced on Tuesday that its AI assistant for Photoshop is becoming available to users in beta on the web and in the mobile apps. The company is also adding new AI-powered image editing capabilities to Firefly, its tool for media generation and editing. The creative tooling company first announced an AI assistant for Photoshop during its MAX event in October. The feature, now rolling out to users, can help them remove objects or people from images, change colors, or adjust lighting through prompts. Users can also use natural language to instruct the AI assistant to add soft glow, crop in a specific format, enhance shadows, or transform the background to give a different look to your image. Adobe said that paid users of Photoshop will be able to create unlimited generations with the AI assistant through April 9, and free users will get 20 generations to start with. In addition, the company is adding a new feature called AI markup in public beta, which lets people draw markers on the screen and use the AI assistant to transform those objects. For instance, you can draw a flower or mark an object to remove to modify the background. Image Credit: Adobe What’s more, Adobe is adding new image editing tools to its Firefly media creation tool. Firefly is getting Generative Fill, which has been present in Photoshop for a few years now, for replacing or adding objects and modifying the background accordingly. Firefly is also gaining a generative remove feature for object removal, generative expand for increasing an image size using AI, and generative upscale features. What’s more, the company is adding a one-click tool to remove the background from images. Loading the player… The company said in February that it is allowing unlimited generations for Firefly subscribers to encourage increased usage. Over time, it has also added more than 25 third-party video and image generation models, including Google’s Nano Banana 2, OpenAI’s Image Generation, Runway’s Gen-4.5, and B...

Micron Technology, Inc. MU is among the best-performing technology stocks in the broader equity market amid ongoing macroeconomic challenges and geopolitical tensions. MU stock has delivered a robust 50.6% gain over the past three months. This performance easily beats the broader Zacks Computer and Technology sector, which declined 6.1% in the same period. The stock has also outpaced the gains of other major semiconductor players, including STMicroelectronics STM, Intel Corporation INTC and Texas Instruments, Inc. TXN. In the trailing three months, shares of STMicroelectronics, Intel and Texas Instruments have risen 27.8%, 15.3% and 7.8%, respectively. Micron Technology Three-Month Price Return Performance Zacks Investment Research Image Source: Zacks Investment Research Micron Technology has been a key beneficiary of the artificial intelligence (AI) boom, which has driven strong demand for its memory chips. As the demand for memory solutions supporting AI and high-performance computing (HPC) is likely to remain strong, MU is well-positioned to capitalize on this opportunity. This makes the stock a more attractive investment option at present. Micron’s Strong Financial Performance Despite ongoing macroeconomic challenges, geopolitical issues, and trade and tariff wars, Micron Technology’s financials remain rock solid. The memory chip maker kicked off fiscal 2026 on a strong note by reporting overwhelming first-quarter results. In the first quarter, revenues jumped 57% year over year to $13.64 billion, while non-GAAP earnings per share (EPS) rose 167% to $4.78. The top and bottom lines surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 7.26% and 22.25%, respectively.
