财联社3月10日讯（记者 闫军） “养龙虾”的风还是吹到了吹到了基金。 当前投资圈只有两个最热话题，一是美伊战争；二是龙虾概念。美伊战争因为特朗普再次“TACO”，地缘政治风险溢价快速回落，资金终于回到主题炒作上，“龙虾”概念彻底爆发。 3月10日，受海外“资本开支扩张过快”“AI取代软件”种种利空冲击的恒生科技指数迎来逆袭，上涨2.4%，“龙虾三兄弟”表现强势，迅策涨近33%，MINIMAX涨超22%，智谱涨近13%。 2月末，恒生科技指数较2025年10月高点回调超20%，进入技术性熊市，至3月4日触底，最大跌幅达25%。随着“养龙虾”引爆，恒生科技指数走出“三连阳”。难怪有投资者感慨：“龙虾”救了恒生科技ETF。 A股方面，科技成长板块迎来明显修复，资金回流特征突出。AI产业链相关方向成为市场最强主线，算力硬件板块集体爆发，其中光通信环节表现尤为亮眼，光模块指数上涨约8%，高景气度科技赛道重新被市场所重视。 券商研报对“养龙虾”点评热烈，基金公司方面，亦有公司推出养虾概念ETF借势营销。“装下卖虾”“养虾”“虾粮”均有ETF对应，帮助投资者了解“养龙虾”对应的受益基金。 当前虽有不少机构表示为可以基金经理、研究员提供AI赋能的服务，但是基金公司表示，基金经理在工作时间肯定用不了，“基于安全考虑，基金经理不可能在工作电脑上安装。”有业内人士直言。 “养龙虾”救了恒生科技ETF？ 尽管很火，还是要对“养龙虾”稍微解释一下。 “龙虾”是一款AI开源智能体OpenClaw的直译，OpenClaw和通用大模型不同，它已经不仅仅会动嘴，已经实现了帮人干活。可以接管电脑、服务器，自动完成文件整理、邮件发送、管理日程、生成代码等复杂操作。 相信大家还有印象，此前昙花一现的Manus同样属于智能体，在理想状态下，让你实现当老板，指挥AI干活。上一波券商PPT、分析师路演火速上线，数十家券商路演的热火朝天行情再现。“惊艳”这个词也曾经用在Manus身上。 不过，这一次热潮显然更加破圈了。 先是互联网大厂们生怕错过这一波技术浪潮，纷纷抢占山头。 腾讯前脚在深圳免费安装OpenClaw；小米后脚发布了号称国内首个手机端“龙虾”Agent应用，Xiaomi miclaw；阿里版本的“龙虾”JVS Claw开启内测；百度智能云多地开启免费线下安装“小龙虾”OpenClaw；抖音将推出首款...

Best Buy (BBY) reported a surprise sales slump in its key holiday shopping season. Same-store sales declined 0.8% in the fourth quarter, the company said Tuesday. Wall Street had hoped for a 0.2% increase after two straight quarters of positive growth. "We continue to see customers who are resilient, but they are definitely deal-focused," Best Buy CEO Corie Barry told Yahoo Finance in a call with reporters. Best Buy expects first quarter same-store sales to return to growth, rising 1%. Barry said more than 50% of its customers make more than $100,000 per year. Revenue for the fourth quarter totaled $13.81 billion, less than the $13.88 billion Wall Street had expected, per Bloomberg consensus data. Adjusted earnings per share came in higher at $2.61, more than the $2.46 the Street predicted. Best Buy stock is down more than 30% in the past year, but popped up more than 8% in early trading. For the full year, revenue came in at $41.69 billion, just below the $41.76 billion Wall Street predicted. Adjusted earnings per share came in at $6.43, $0.12 above Wall Street's estimates for $6.31. For the year, same-store sales grew 0.5%, less than the 0.9% increase Wall Street was looking for. For 2027, the company expects revenue to come in the range of $41.2 billion to $42.1 billion, alongside same-store sales that are expected to fall in a range between a 1% decline and 1% rise for the year. Adjusted earnings per share are expected to be in a range of $6.30-$6.60. This year, Best Buy is also watching the rise in memory costs as heightened demand impacts supply. Barry said it's "something our industry has faced in different peaks and valleys relatively often through the past 25 years." She added that the team is pulling in inventory, trying to provide its manufacturers with longer forecast horizons, working to find the right price points for consumers, and educating them on what's available. The team expects strength in computing and mobile phones to continue into 2026, after...

一个人可以很聪明，但如果他对你的世界一无所知，你也很难和他一起做事。 AI 也一样。 全民龙虾热潮还在持续。这个过程中最大的一个变化是，它让很多人尝试做一件事： 让 AI 真的开始干活。 不是聊天。不是问答。而是让 AI 去完成一些具体的工作：整理文档、更新数据、触发流程、生成报告。 一开始，大家讨论的焦点几乎都在模型上。 哪个模型更聪明？ 哪个 Agent 框架更好用？ 哪种自动化能力更强？ 但当实验真正开始之后，很多人很快遇到了一个完全不同的问题： Agent 应该放在哪里？ 理论上，它可以存在于很多地方： 浏览器插件、桌面应用、聊天窗口、网页后台。 但当人们尝试让 Agent 参与真实工作时，很快会发现一个现实，AI 其实不缺答案。它缺的是另一种东西： 上下文。 AI 当然可以回答问题。但如果它要替你完成一件具体的工作，它必须知道很多事情：你的文档在哪里，你的项目在做什么，你的团队如何协作，你的数据放在哪里。 换句话说，它需要理解你的工作环境。否则，所谓的智能体其实只是一个很聪明的陌生人。它知道很多知识，但对你的世界一无所知。 这就是为什么，当越来越多人开始认真做 Agent 的时候，问题开始从"哪个模型更强"变成了"Agent 该住在哪里"。 而这个问题，指向三种完全不同的答案： 钉钉把 Agent 放进流程，企业微信把 Agent 放进连接，飞书把 Agent 放进数据。 于是，有点意思的变化开始出现。当越来越多开发者尝试把 Agent 接入真实工作系统时，有一个产品开始越来越频繁地出现在这些玩法里：飞书。 AI 真正缺的不是模型 AI 产业在过去两年几乎一直围绕模型能力展开。参数规模、推理能力、多模态能力、成本效率。但当 AI 从聊天走向工作时，问题突然发生了变化。 模型依然重要。但它不再是唯一的问题。 因为当 AI 开始参与真实任务时，它需要三样东西： 模型、工具、上下文。 模型决定它能理解什么，工具决定它能做什么，而上下文决定一件更重要的事情：它知道该做什么。 很多开发者在做 Agent 的时候，很快会意识到：没有上下文的 AI，其实很难真正参与工作。它可以回答问题，但它很难理解一个组织正在做什么。 于是，一些实验开始出现新的方向，让 AI 直接接入工作系统。读取文档，更新表格，触发流程，调用工具。 而在这些应用里，飞书逐渐变得越来越常见。 原因其实...

Amid an unforgiving global news cycle – and as nations weigh their options in responding to the yet unbuilt West Bank settlement project that would “bury the idea of a Palestinian state” – a telling sanctions-related development in Israel passed largely unnoticed outside Israeli media. In Tel Aviv, the new year began with a protest by a violent extremist settler group that has faced UK sanctions since October 2024. The trigger was a new Israeli banking directive, rushed out to placate Israel’s hardliners, that they said did too little to shield Israelis from international sanctions. The protest – and the response from the pro-settlement extremist finance minister Bezalel Smotrich, who himself faces sanctions from Australia, Canada and the UK) – makes one thing clear: sanctions on extremist Israelis are working, and this remains true even after the Trump administration rolled back all Biden-era sanctions on Israeli settlers last year. That lesson carries immediate relevance as governments now have an opportunity to give teeth to their long-standing opposition to the E1 settlement plan – a move that would fracture the territorial contiguity of the West Bank and the viability of a Palestinian state. The tenders, which seek bids from developers, call for proposals to develop 3,401 housing units in E1 – a stretch of land east of Jerusalem – and are expected to be awarded on 16 March. Smotrich, who oversees the West Bank settlement planning body that approved the E1 settlement plan, has simultaneously waged war on the settler sanctions movement since its inception two years ago. In February 2024, Smotrich publicly browbeat Israeli banks and regulators for complying with sanctions on Israeli settlers, vowing to use “all available tools” to prevent banks from enforcing the sanctions. double quotation mark The imminent advancement of the E1 settlement plan will test whether nations are prepared to enforce their red lines or acquiesce to US-backed impunity for Israel The foll...

Nandani Bridglal/iStock Editorial via Getty Images Visiting the gas pump is a nearly weekly ritual for most of us, especially if you have a long commute to work. Gas prices don't really matter that much to you because you have to have the fuel to get to the job you're going to. Often, the price of gas is referred to as the "commuter tax." With the advent of electric vehicles, many believed fuel demand would decline; however, even in the COVID era, fuel demand remained extremely strong. COVID did provide a decline in fuel demand because of the shutdowns in different parts of the United States and around the globe, but once the shutdowns ended, pent-up demand for travel and getting out of the house caused fuel demand to recover strongly and continue to increase. Electric vehicles have not caused a meaningful dent in the demand for fuel so far. With the expiration of the electric vehicle tax credit within the United States causing the cancellation of many electric vehicles by major auto manufacturers across the United States market, fuel demand within the US is not expected to really meaningfully decline in the near term. Ford ( F ) canceled the F-150 Lightning. It was the best-selling EV truck in the market. When compared to the volume of gas and diesel powered vehicles that Ford was selling, the F-150 Lightning was barely scratching the surface of demand. To put it in numbers, the Lightning sold 23,024 units in 2025 as of October, but the entire F-150 series sold over 597,000 units. Ford cited consumer demand as the reason for canceling the truck. Stellantis ( STLA ) canceled its entire suite of EVs, booking a massive loss as they were underperforming their expectations and were costly to build. If you've ever been on a road trip, you know the ritual of when you get to the gas station. You jump out. You use the restroom. You grab some snacks. You fill up your vehicle. You continue on your way. What many of us don't realize when we stop at the gas station is that the ...

Jonathan Kitchen/DigitalVision via Getty Images Introduction It’s not a secret to anyone that SaaS companies (software-as-a-service) were plunging this year in 2026, and this period has already gotten a name: the "SaaS-pocalypse." Basically, it means that between mid-January and mid-February, approximately $1 trillion in market value was wiped out from this industry. Even though the recovery has already begun, iShares Expanded Tech-Software Sector ETF ( IGV ) is down over 16% YTD, WisdomTree Cloud Computing Fund ETF ( WCLD ) is down by 15%, and Global X Cloud Computing ETF ( CLOU ) is down over 12%. Data by YCharts The general fear comes from the fact that SaaS usually relies on a subscription model, which means every company buys a number of seats or users who can use this software to perform different tasks at work. For example, if we’re talking about a tool for project management and the company has a team lead, a couple of products, and maybe some developers working together, the company will buy a license for all of those people. Now, the market is afraid that AI will actually replace human workers. As a result, fewer workers may translate into fewer seats bought by businesses from software as a service. But you can already see why this is a really problematic thing to assume. To start with, I don’t see any real proof that AI is actually switching out human workers yet. Sure, I see how people can become way more productive, but using AI effectively still requires a human who knows exactly what they’re doing. They have to know how to write prompts and how to get the AI to deliver what is asked of it. So, right now, AI can’t be a replacement for a person; it’s just making the person better at their job. Here, most likely, you will argue that we’re seeing all these massive layoffs right now, and companies love to hint, or even say straight, that it's all thanks to AI "efficiency." But to be honest with you, I’m very skeptical about it. I think the current hype jus...

Drew Perkins has been inventing computer network tech and building startups since the dawn of the internet age. Now he’s back as a co-founder and CEO of AI networking startup Eridu that’s officially coming out of stealth on Tuesday with an oversubscribed $200 million Series A round. The round was led by Socratic Partners, renowned VC John Doerr, Matter Venture Partners, and others. Eridu has now raised a total of $230 million, the company said. Perkins began his career in the 1980s, and helped create the Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) that became a key part of TCP/IP, the protocol upon which the internet relies. In 1999, the optical switch company he co-founded, Lightera Networks, was sold to Ciena for over $500 million. Next was Infinera, which IPO’d and was later sold to Nokia for $2.3 billion in 2025. He also co-founded Gainspeed (also sold to Nokia) and, most recently, the AR startup Mojo Vision. But after OpenAI released ChatGPT, Perkins had an epiphany. In February 2023, Perkins and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman were speaking at a small conference. They got to chatting, and “Sam told me that what enabled AI and ChatGPT was just enormous amounts of compute. At which time, I think he meant 4,000 GPUs, but now we’re talking about millions of GPUs,” Perkins told TechCrunch. He realized from that conversation that the bottleneck to progress won’t just be access to more chips; it will be the methods the chips use to communicate with one another across their systems. “What we needed to do in the networking sector, in the networking industry, was come up with a brand-new way of thinking about how you build networks and build network equipment, network chips, and the entire thing.” By late 2023, Perkins had met his co-founder, Omar Hassen, whose roots are in networking chip design for the big industry players like Broadcom and Marvell. In 2024, they founded Eridu. Techcrunch event Disrupt 2026: The tech ecosystem, all in one room Your next round. Your next hire. Your next break...

Stage 3 — Unified Support Multiplier (+25% cumulative, +$1.1M): Microsoft Unified Support is contractually priced at 8 to 12 percent of total Microsoft spend. As base EA costs rise through Stages 1 and 2, Unified Support fees escalate proportionally and automatically—a structural amplifier that converts every Microsoft list price increase into a compounding second charge. Stage 2 — M365 Copilot Bundling (+14% cumulative, +$0.5M): Effective July 1, 2026, Microsoft is raising commercial pricing for Microsoft 365 E3 and E5 plans to reflect the mandatory inclusion of AI capabilities including Copilot. The increase applies universally; there is no opt-out provision for enterprises that have not deployed Copilot or have not validated its productivity impact. Stage 1 — EA Tier Discount Elimination (+9%, +$0.9M): Effective November 1, 2025, Microsoft eliminated volume-based pricing tiers B through D for all Online Services under the Enterprise Agreement, per its official licensing announcement. Every EA customer—regardless of scale—now pays Level A list pricing. Organizations previously at Level C or D face 9 to 12 percent increases at renewal with no mechanism to recover the lost volume discount. US Cloud's analysis maps the compounding cost trajectory for a representative $10 million annual Enterprise Agreement—a profile common to large commercial enterprises carrying a standard mix of Microsoft 365, Azure, Dynamics 365, Windows, and on-premises licenses: "Microsoft is spending at a scale that requires its enterprise customer base to absorb the cost," said Robert LaMear, Founder of US Cloud. "The EA tier elimination, the M365 repricing, and the Unified Support multiplier are not isolated events. They constitute a coordinated revenue reset engineered to fund a $37.5 billion quarterly infrastructure bill. Enterprises that fail to respond strategically will subsidize Microsoft's AI ambitions irrespective of whether those ambitions are delivering value to their own organizati...

NVIDIA and Celestica Lead Ethernet Switch Sales in AI Clusters with Nearly 50 Percent Combined Share REDWOOD CITY, Calif., March 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- According to a recently published report from Dell'Oro Group, the trusted source for market information about the telecommunications, security, networks, and data center industries, Ethernet switch sales in AI back-end networks more than tripled and accounted for more than two-thirds of data center switch sales in AI clusters during the fourth quarter of 2025 and for the full year. Dell'Oro Group Logo. (PRNewsFoto/Dell'Oro Group) "The growing size of AI clusters, combined with ongoing supply chain constraints, is driving the need for vendor diversity and therefore for Ethernet," said Sameh Boujelbene, Vice President at Dell'Oro Group. "Amazon, Microsoft, Meta, Oracle, and xAI are all adopting Ethernet. Although InfiniBand continues to grow, Ethernet is expanding at a much faster pace." "The Ethernet vendor landscape in AI back-end networks remains highly competitive. In 2025, Celestica and NVIDIA led the market with a combined 50 percent share. Arista ranked third, despite a significant portion of its AI-related product revenue being deferred. Cisco has also started to accelerate its switch shipments in AI back-end networks with large hyperscalers. HPE/Juniper scored new accounts. Meanwhile, other new entrants are actively pursuing this opportunity. We expect the increasing need for vendor diversity at both the chip and system levels to drive continued share shifts and keep this market highly dynamic," added Boujelbene. Additional highlights from the 4Q 2025 Data Center Switch – AI Back-end Networks Report: 800 Gbps switches accounted for the vast majority of the Ethernet switch shipments and revenues in AI back-end networks during the quarter. 1600 Gbps is expected to begin shipping in the second half of 2026 and drive significant revenue growth as well as share shifts.

SAN DIEGO, March 10, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ImageneBio, Inc. (Nasdaq: IMA) (“Imagene” or the “Company”) today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2025, and provided a company update. Company Highlights The IMG-007 Phase 2b ADAPTIVE trial in adults with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis (AD) is ongoing at North American sites; the study began enrolling in mid-2025 with topline data expected in 2027. A recent blinded safety review showed a favorable emerging tolerability profile consistent with previous IMG-007 patient experience. The Company has submitted a protocol amendment intended to expand the number and exposure range of dosing regimens being evaluated, characterize the role of loading doses, evaluate patient-friendly dosing intervals, and understand the effect of short- and longer-term treatment with IMG-007. The Company welcomed Dr. Ben Porter-Brown, who brings deep inflammation and medical dermatology experience including leading the development of anti-OX40L investigational therapeutic amlitelimab through the end of Phase 2, as Chief Medical Officer in February 2026. An oral presentation of IMG-007 preclinical data, including characterization of the non-depleting nature of the antibody, will be shared at the 83rd Annual Society for Investigative Dermatology (SID) Meeting (May 2026; Chicago, IL). “IMG-007 is now the leading receptor-targeting OX40 antagonist program in clinical development. Our approach is entirely unlike that of ADCC-enhanced anti-OX40 antibodies such as rocatinlimab: published data has shown rocatinlimab treatment causes deep depletion of T cells, while IMG-007 is a non-T cell depleting antibody. This is a fundamental, intentional, and critical difference in our molecule’s design,” commented Kristin Yarema, PhD, Chief Executive Officer of Imagene. “While the clinical profile of IMG-007 remains early, our safety database continues to grow and we have not seen any of the tolerability issues...

COLUMBUS, Ohio, March 10, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Core Molding Technologies, Inc. (NYSE American: CMT) (“Core Molding”, “Core” or the “Company”), a leading engineered materials company specializing in molded structural products, principally in building products, industrial and utilities, medium and heavy-duty truck and powersports industries across the United States, Canada and Mexico today reported financial and operating results for the fiscal periods ended December 31, 2025.

We systematically improved execution through optimizing our footprint, while implementing strategies to stabilize margins, generate operating cash flow, and prepare for growth.” “In fiscal 2026, our focus is on execution: expanding the Matamoros facility and bringing the planned Monterrey plant online—on time and on budget. These projects are supported by current business, with a pipeline expected to deliver $150 million in incremental revenue over the next several years. With improving end-market visibility in the current year, we see a clear path to over $300 million in revenue in 2027.” Alex Panda, the Company’s EVP and Chief Financial Officer, commented, “As expected, fiscal 2025 revenues declined 9.5%, primarily due to weakness in the Truck sector, which represents 44% of Core’s product sales. Gross margins of 17.4%, within our previously communicated range, reflected stability despite...

Shirofune Shirofune ensures that no one needs to be glued to the ad management screen during peak sales events - the new feature increases sales with real-time automatic optimization EL SEGUNDO, Calif., March 10, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Shirofune Inc. today announced the launch of a new feature within its advertising operations automation platform designed to automatically optimize Amazon advertising performance during major sales events such as Amazon’s Prime Days or Cyber Mondays. High-traffic sales periods and limited-time promotions typically bring sharp increases in demand, intensified bidding competition, and significant fluctuations in search volume and cost per click. While these events offer major revenue opportunities for advertisers and brands, they also require constant monitoring and rapid bid adjustments to stay within budget or maintain target return on ad spend (ROAS). “Sales events are moments when advertising performance can change dramatically from hour to hour, but they’ve traditionally required marketers to be constantly on standby to react,” said Mitsunaga Kikuchi, Founder and CEO of Shirofune. “With this release, we’re enabling advertisers to set clear business goals for sale days and trust the system to make precise, real-time adjustments automatically—improving both results and the sustainability of ad operations.” Shirofune’s new feature automates these operational adjustments by continuously monitoring cost progression and performance on an hourly basis throughout a specified sales day. Advertisers can choose to automatically maximize sales within a defined budget or maximize sales while maintaining a target ROAS, without the need for manual intervention. Until now, advertisers often needed to monitor campaigns continuously—from midnight through the end of a sale period, including weekends and holidays—to manually adjust bids based on real-time performance in order to avoid overspending or reduced profitability. By executing fine-grained ...

Swedish legal artificial intelligence startup Legora has raised $550 million in a Series D funding round led by Accel , tripling its valuation from an October round to $5.55 billion as it seeks to expand in the US. Existing investors Benchmark, Bessemer Venture Partners , General Catalyst , Iconiq , Redpoint Ventures and Y Combinator participated in the round, the company said in a statement Tuesday, confirming an earlier Bloomberg News report . Legal AI startups have boomed as tools powered by large language models promise to upend the profession, saving lawyers time on grunt work like document review and drafting contracts. In February, Anthropic released a plug-in to help automate legal work that sent shares of traditional legal news, software and data services companies tumbling. Legora has more than doubled its sales in every quarter since the final three months of 2024, Chief Executive Officer Max Junestrand said in an interview, declining to comment further on revenue. It plans to use the funding to rapidly grow in the US, the home market of its competitor Harvey. Legora recently announced new offices in Houston and Chicago, in addition to its existing New York and Denver hubs, and expects to have 300 employees in the US by the end of 2026. “We haven’t spent any of the money from our Series C yet,” Junestrand said. “But we’re expecting to significantly go up in our burn rate this year as we scale out the team in the US.” Harvey, which had a financing round in December, is in talks to raise funds at an $11 billion valuation, Forbes reported last month. Legora uses a mix of large language models, primarily Anthropic’s Claude, and is embedded in tools like Microsoft Word to help users analyze large volumes of documents, conduct research across databases and draft contracts. It counts major law firms including White & Case, Linklaters and Dentons as customers. With the latest round, Accel investor Arun Mathew is joining the company board. Mathew, who also co-led ...
