Alibaba Group Holding has reshuffled its artificial intelligence operations, creating a new top level business group and placing CEO Eddie Wu Yongming in charge as the AI and e-commerce powerhouse accelerates its push into the emerging token economy. The company said on Monday it had established the Alibaba Token Hub (ATH) Business Group, which brings all its core AI teams and products together under one umbrella. This includes Tongyi Laboratory – the developer of Alibaba’s Qwen series of foundation models – the company’s model-as-a-service business, the Qwen business unit focused on personal AI assistants, a new unit called Wukong responsible for building an AI-embedded enterprise workflow around the Dingtalk workplace suite, and a separate AI Innovation business unit dedicated to speedy exploration of new AI applications and business models. Advertisement ATH is built around the concept of the token: the fundamental unit of computation and output generated by AI large language models when processing and producing text, images or code. “ATH is built around a single organising mission: create tokens, deliver tokens and apply tokens,” Wu said in an internal letter announcing the establishment.

Manchester United have no plans to reverse their decision to release veteran midfielder Casemiro at the end of the season. The Brazilian, 34, announced in January that he would leave the club when his £350,000-a-week contract expires. Despite his strong performances this season, United concluded they would not offer a new deal to the former Real Madrid midfielder, who will be available on a free transfer. Co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe previously voiced incredulity about Casemiro's £18.2m annual salary, and the 73-year-old has vowed to drive down costs. That was thought to be behind the decision not to trigger the option on Casemiro's contract, with United wanting to make the decision early to allow them to continue with their long-term squad overhaul. Casemiro asked for the news to be made public in order to avoid any confusion towards the end of the season. However, since then, Casemiro has turned in a series of excellent performances. He opened the scoring against Aston Villa on Sunday with his seventh goal of the season, six of which have been headers. The midfielder celebrated in front of the Stretford End by pointing repeatedly to the club badge on his shirt. Supporters sang "One more year, Casemiro" in response, and repeated it after the final whistle as the player headed for the tunnel. Captain Bruno Fernandes and defender Leny Yoro both said after the game they hoped Casemiro would remain at the club. However, sources have told BBC Sport that the club have no plans to reassess their decision. Interim head coach Michael Carrick has also suggested there will be no U-turn on Casemiro's future at Old Trafford. "When something is decided it makes it a little bit easier and everyone understands the situation," said Carrick. "The impact he's had has been terrific, through his influence within the team and with big moments and goals. "There was a nice moment at the end with the supporters. He'll enjoy that one."

This article first appeared on GuruFocus. Micron Technology (NASDAQ:MU) is scheduled to release fiscal second-quarter 2026 results on Wednesday after the market close, with investors focused on earnings momentum fueled by artificial intelligence-related memory demand. Wall Street expects the memory chip maker to report earnings per share of $8.77 for the quarter, representing substantial growth from a year earlier. Revenue is projected to reach about $19.03 billion, reflecting stronger pricing and demand for high-bandwidth memory and DRAM products used in data centers. The company has benefited from rising memory prices and tight industry supply, helping its shares advance roughly 42% year to date. Analysts say expectations remain elevated heading into the report, with attention centered on demand trends for next-generation HBM products and forward visibility. Ahead of the results, several brokerages raised price targets. Wedbush Securities increased its target to $500 from $320, while Wells Fargo lifted its target to $470 from $410 and reiterated a Buy rating. Analysts cited improving earnings prospects and ongoing demand tied to advanced computing cycles, including next-generation platforms from Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA). Wall Street Opinion Micron Q2 Earnings Preview: What To Expect From Upcoming Report Based on the one year price targets offered by 40 analysts, the average target price for Micron Technology Inc is $407.89 with a high estimate of $650.00 and a low estimate of $86.28. The average target implies a downside of -4.28% from the current price of $426.13. Based on GuruFocus estimates, the estimated GF Value for Micron Technology Inc in one year is $372.96, suggesting a downside of -12.48% from the current price of $426.13.

This article first appeared on GuruFocus. Hon Hai Precision Industry, better known as Foxconn (FXCOF), reported a decline in fourth-quarter profit as earnings missed analyst expectations despite steady demand for artificial intelligence servers. Net income for the OctoberDecember period totaled T$45.21 billion, or about $1.42 billion, down roughly two percent from the same quarter a year earlier. Analysts tracked by LSEG had expected profit of about T$63.86 billion for the quarter. Foxconn, the primary iPhone assembler for Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) and a major server manufacturing partner for Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA), has been expanding production of AI-related hardware as demand grows for data center infrastructure. The Taiwan-based company remains one of the largest global electronics contract manufacturers, producing devices and components for a wide range of technology firms. Chairman Young Liu recently cautioned that ongoing geopolitical tensions could affect production costs. He said a prolonged conflict involving the United States, Israel and Iran could push up prices for oil and other raw materials, which may influence supply chains across the electronics sector. Looking ahead, the company said visibility for the first quarter of 2026 remains broadly in line with market expectations, suggesting stable demand conditions in the near term despite uncertainty around commodity prices and global trade condition

Have you looked into how Oracle (ORCL) performed internationally during the quarter ending February 2026? Considering the widespread global presence of this software maker, examining the trends in international revenues is essential for assessing its financial resilience and prospects for growth. In the current global economy, which is more interconnected than ever, a company's success in penetrating international markets is crucial for its financial health and growth journey. Investors must understand a company's dependence on overseas markets, as this offers a window into the company's earnings stability, its ability to benefit from varied economic cycles and its potential for long-term growth. International market involvement serves as insurance against economic downturns at home and enables engagement with economies that are growing more quickly. Still, this move toward diversification is not without its challenges, as it involves navigating through the fluctuations of currencies, geopolitical threats, and the distinctive nature of various markets. Our review of ORCL's last quarterly performance uncovered some notable trends in the revenue contributions from its international markets, which are commonly analyzed and tracked by Wall Street experts. For the quarter, the company's total revenue amounted to $17.19 billion, experiencing an increase of 21.7% year over year. Next, we'll explore the breakdown of ORCL's international revenue to understand the importance of its overseas business operations. Exploring ORCL's International Revenue Patterns During the quarter, Europe, Middle East and Africa contributed $3.96 billion in revenue, making up 23.1% of the total revenue. When compared to the consensus estimate of $4.01 billion, this meant a surprise of -1.1%. Looking back, Europe, Middle East and Africa contributed $3.76 billion, or 23.4%, in the previous quarter, and $3.42 billion, or 24.2%, in the same quarter of the previous year.

ISerg/iStock via Getty Images On April, 2024, I wrote my first bullish article on Nuveen Preferred & Income Opportunities Fund ( JPC ). The underlying case boiled down to simply opening a long position for high and stable dividend income collection. In addition, I thought that the discount to NAV was really unjustified mainly because of strong defense component that JPC was bringing to the table. In other words, my assumption was that it is only a matter of time until we experience some favorable price dynamic from JPC as well. Since that moment, JPC is up by 38% (on a total return basis). It is also worth noting that the monthly dividend payment now is ~31% higher than where it was when I circulated the original bull case. As a result of the dividend (or distribution) bump, we can still buy JPC at a fairly attractive yield despite the hefty price appreciation. Currently, the yield stands at 9.4%. However, what has disappeared is the discount to NAV, where we can see in the chart below how JPC's price has nicely converged to the reported NAV: CEFConnect In my view, the lack of discount should not be a reason to sell or avoid this high-yielding, high-quality CEF. In fact, I think that we could make a case that the buying opportunity is even more enticing than where it was back in 2024. Let me explain. Thesis review The main reason why we should buy or consider buying JPC is obviously the yield, which, as I mentioned above, stands at around 9.4%. Given that the base rates have come down a bit, the JPC's yield spread compared to alternative assets (including the 'risk-free' benchmark rates) has widened. Now, the question is of course whether the offered monthly current income streams are sustainable. Typically, higher yields come with higher risk. And assuming higher risk might not be the smartest move right now when the overall economy and markets are becoming increasingly shaky (e.g., oil shock, turbulence in the private asset (credit) management space, sky-high valu...
