This article first appeared on GuruFocus. Uber (NYSE:UBER) shares rose 3% on Wednesday after the company and Amazon's (NASDAQ:AMZN) Zoox said they would deploy Zoox's fully autonomous, all-electric robotaxis on Uber's platform in select U.S. cities. The partnership will start with limited service in Las Vegas in 2026, with plans to expand to other Sun Belt and West Coast markets over time. Uber will manage rider demand, booking, and customer experience, while Zoox will operate its purpose-built fleet, integrating directly with Uber's app and backend systems. The collaboration is designed to accelerate commercial robotaxi adoption by combining Uber's large user base with Zoox's vertically integrated autonomous vehicle platform. Initial rollouts will focus on geofenced zones and event-driven demand, allowing the companies to gather operational data and refine safety protocols before broader expansion. Zoox, founded in 2014 and acquired by Amazon in 2020 for about $1.2 billion, offers bidirectional, fully autonomous vehicles with no steering wheel or pedals. The company was the first to receive regulatory approval for public autonomous transport in California in 2018. CEO Aicha Evans, who joined in 2019, said the partnership will provide a differentiated rider experience while advancing autonomous mobility in daily life.

This article first appeared on GuruFocus. Major U.S. stock indexes slid as oil prices jumped and geopolitical concerns weighed on markets. The Dow fell about 1%, while broader U.S. trading appeared cautious as crude moved higher after the International Energy Agency said it would release 400 million barrels to try to cool prices. Nasdaq and S&P 500 also dipped 0.4% at the time of writing. The February consumer-price index matched forecasts, with headline inflation at 2.4% and core inflation at 2.5%, and the 10-year Treasury yield rose toward 4.21%, a move that may be tightening investor risk appetite. Rising oil and worries about shipping disruptions through the Strait of Hormuz added to the risk-off tone. Oracle (ORCL) jumped about 10% after lifting its long-term outlook on strong AI demand, providing a rare boost to tech names. By contrast, The Campbell's Company (CPB) slid about 9% after flagging weakness in its Snacks business. Energy shares led gains within the S&P, with Valero Energy (NYSE:VLO), Marathon Petroleum (NYSE:MPC) and Phillips 66 (NYSE:PSX) each advancing, as traders assessed how supply moves and inflation data could shape policy and corporate outlooks.

Nio (NIO 3.95%), a major electric vehicle (EV) producer in China, reported its fourth-quarter earnings on March 10. Its revenue surged 79% year over year to 34.7 billion yuan ($5.0 billion). It generated a net profit of 282.7 million yuan ($40.4 million), compared with a net loss of 7.11 billion yuan a year earlier. That also marked its first-ever quarterly profit. For the full year, Nio's revenue rose 33% to 87.49 billion yuan ($12.5 billion), its annual deliveries rose 47% to 326,028 units, its vehicle margin expanded 230 basis points to 14.6%, and it narrowed its net loss from 22.4 billion yuan to 14.9 billion yuan ($2.2 billion). Those numbers were impressive, yet Nio's stock still trades below its 2018 IPO price of $6.28 per ADR. It also trades at less than one times this year's sales. So could buying Nio today -- while the bulls look the other way -- set you up for life? Expand NYSE : NIO Nio Today's Change ( -3.95 %) $ -0.23 Current Price $ 5.47 Key Data Points Market Cap $12B Day's Range $ 5.44 - $ 5.88 52wk Range $ 3.02 - $ 8.02 Volume 63M Avg Vol 44M Gross Margin 13.66 % How fast is Nio growing? Nio's eponymous brand sells higher-end electric sedans and SUVs. Its smaller Onvo and Firefly sub-brands, which were launched in 2024, sell cheaper SUVs and compact cars, respectively. It differentiates itself from its competitors with swappable batteries, which can be quickly swapped out at its own battery-swapping stations as a faster alternative to conventional chargers. It generates most of its revenue in China, but it's gradually expanding across Europe. Nio's deliveries more than doubled in 2020 and 2021, but only rose 34% in 2022 and 31% in 2023. Its vehicle margin also dropped from a record high of 20.1% in 2021 to 9.5% in 2023. It mainly attributed the slowdown to tough macro and competitive headwinds. However, its deliveries rose 39% in 2024 and 47% in 2025. That acceleration was mainly driven by the growing popularity of its namesake sedans and Onvo SUVs...

watch now VIDEO 2:07 02:07 Why the Strait of Hormuz standoff could mean smaller harvests, higher grocery bills CNBC Digital Original Video The war in Iran could raise global food prices as the conflict disrupts fertilizer shipments through one of the world's most critical trade routes. While energy markets have focused on oil supply risks, analysts say threats to fertilizer supply chains through the Straight of Hormuz may also bring long-term economic issues through food inflation. "Beyond energy, another risk receiving less attention is the potential knock-on effect on food prices, as fertilizer shortages push agricultural costs higher," said Wolfe Research chief economist Stephanie Roth in a note written on Tuesday. Roth estimates the disruption could raise "food-at-home" inflation by roughly 2 percentage points, adding about 0.15 percentage points to headline inflation in the U.S., on top of roughly 0.40 percentage point increase from energy. Those potential price hikes come as U.S. consumers face a sustained stretch of higher prices for food, housing and energy. Inflation for food at home climbed 2.4% year over year in February, the Bureau of Labor Statistics said Wednesday. Customers shop at Walmart on January 22, 2026 in Little Rock, Arkansas. Will Newton | Getty Images More than one-third of globally traded fertilizer passes through the Straight of Hormuz, making it a critical artery for agricultural supply chains. Commercial traffic through the route has largely been halted since the war started late last month, disrupting shipments just as farmers across the Northern Hemisphere prepare fields for spring planting. The timing is critical because fertilizers are applied early in the crop cycle and help determine yields later in the year. "If fertilizer supply tightens during this window, farmers may reduce application rates," Roth said in the note. That could reduce yields for crops like corn, soybeans, wheat and rice and increase agricultural costs. Economist...

This article first appeared on GuruFocus. Nebius Group N.V. (NASDAQ:NBIS) shares rose about 10% Wednesday after NVIDIA (NASDAQ:NVDA) said it would invest $2 billion in the cloud provider as part of a strategic effort to expand AI-focused infrastructure. The partnership aims to accelerate Nebius's development of hyperscale AI cloud services using NVIDIA's latest computing platforms. Under the agreement, Nebius plans to deploy more than five gigawatts of capacity by 2030, integrating NVIDIA Rubin GPUs, Vera CPUs, and BlueField storage systems. The collaboration will cover AI factory design, inference capabilities, infrastructure deployment, and fleet management optimization. The companies have already begun deploying NVIDIA hardware across multiple gigawatt-scale AI factories in the U.S., seeking to support the growing demand for agentic AI, which refers to autonomous AI systems that can make decisions and act independently. NVIDIA has faced scrutiny over circular financing practices, where it invests in firms that purchase its GPUs, a model it has used with OpenAI, CoreWeave, and Anthropic. Despite this, analysts say the partnership positions Nebius to rapidly scale AI services, leveraging NVIDIA's end-to-end platform from hardware to software.

In Brief Breakout Ventures has closed a $114 million Fund III to back AI-focused early-stage startups working in scientific fields such as biology and chemistry. The firm has already written checks to three companies and plans to invest in at least 20 companies through this fund, with average check sizes ranging from $500,000 to $5 million. Lindy Fishburne, managing director of Breakout Ventures, told TechCrunch the firm was looking for companies focused on “unlocking the complexity of science with AI.” Breakout spun out of a grant program from the Thiel Foundation, and officially launched in 2016. It has previously raised two funds: a $60 million Fund 1 in 2017 and a $112.5 million Fund II in 2021, also focused on science startups. “We’ve always been focused on the opportunity for technology to unlock the power of biology and chemistry to solve massive unmet needs and create new markets,” she told TechCrunch. It took around a year and a half to raise Fund III, she said, from limited partners including The Kraft Group, Pinegrove Venture Partners, and Cubed Capital. “Breakout founders may be PhDs who developed the science they are commercializing, or they may be emerging from industry where they deeply understand the need and opportunity,” she said. “Either way, we look for fit — the obvious reason why this is the best person to build a specific company.”

Shakeel Sha/iStock via Getty Images Thesis We started covering the 7.875% Notes Due 2029 ( TRINZ ) from Trinity Capital ( TRIN ) last year, when we assigned the debentures a 'Buy' rating. A lot has happened in the BDC space since, and today we are going to revisit the notes in light of the latest financial performance from TRIN and the market macro. Latest Financials show a robust performance The company recently announced its latest quarterly financials: Income Statement (Company Presentation) The figures were robust, with a growth in the quarter in net investment income, figure which came in at $39.9 M. Please note this is the highest figure in the past five quarters. The number came from a higher investment income figure, while keeping operating expenses under control. The company did not magically increase its lending margins, but just lent more, with the balance sheet moving up: Balance Sheet (Company Presentation) Since December 2024 the total assets for the company moved up from $1.7 billion to $2.4 billion. The increase in net income is therefore the result of balance sheet expansion (company growing) rather than a meaningful change in the business model. We can see that from the leverage ratio, which has remained fairly constant: Leverage Ratio (Company Presentation) The current leverage ratio is 119% versus 108% at the end of 2024, but fairly in line with historic levels (we can see a 104% to 130% range here). The company does a good job of presenting relative analytics, and we can see the net income return on average assets slightly decreasing, but still elevated: NII Returns (Company Presentation) That ratio was at 15.5% as of the latest reporting, slightly down quarter on quarter, but still fairly elevated historically. The main takeaway here is that the company is growing by expanding its asset base, while the rest of the business model is not changing (i.e. same leverage ratio, same NII profitability). Now that we saw the company is growing, generatin...

Binance is hoping that suing The Wall Street Journal for defamation might help shake off a fresh round of government probes into how the cryptocurrency exchange failed to detect $1.7 billion in transfers to a network that was funding Iran-backed terror groups. The lawsuit comes after a Wall Street Journal investigation , based on conversations with insiders and reviews of internal documents, reported that Binance had quietly dismantled its own investigation into the unlawful transfers and then fired compliance staff who initially flagged them. Alleging that the report falsely accused Binance of retaliation—among 10 other allegedly false claims—Binance accused the Journal of conducting a "sham" investigation that intentionally disregarded the company's statements. That included supposedly failing to note that Binance had not closed its investigation into the unlawful transfers. Read full article Comments

Colombia is taking steps that could allow it to begin importing natural gas from Venezuela, Energy Minister Edwin Palma said. Venezuela’s state oil company PDVSA will repair about 5 kilometers of the Antonio Ricaurte pipeline on the Colombian side of the border, Palma said Wednesday in a post on X after meeting officials from PDVSA’s local unit. In the meantime Colombia will work to secure the permits needed for the repairs to take place, he added. The move comes as Colombia grapples with a widening natural gas shortfall that has forced it to rely on costly liquefied natural gas imports, raising concerns over energy security and prices. Reopening the pipeline would help ease supply pressures at home while offering Venezuela a path to monetize part of its vast gas reserves. The 224-kilometer (139-mile) pipeline, built in 2007 to export Colombian gas to Venezuela, has been idle for more than a decade after Venezuela’s economic crisis and US sanctions derailed the arrangement. It will require significant repairs and regulatory approvals before gas can flow westward into Colombia. The existing contract that allows gas trade between the two countries is between Ecopetrol SA and PDVSA. Ecopetrol CEO Ricardo Roa said last week that a new request had been sent to the US Treasury seeking the lifting of sanctions or a special license to allow repairs to the pipeline. PDVSA did not immediately respond to questions about when and how work on the Venezuelan side of the border would take place.

is a senior editor and founding member of The Verge who covers gadgets, games, and toys. He spent 15 years editing the likes of CNET, Gizmodo, and Engadget. Posts from this author will be added to your daily email digest and your homepage feed. Microsoft seems more determined than ever to combine Xbox and Windows — to the point that its next-gen Xbox, codenamed Project Helix, will play PC games too. Today, we learned Helix will go alpha in 2027. But the company isn’t waiting for Helix before it points Windows gamers in the Xbox direction. Starting in April, it’s bringing its full-screen Xbox mode to every kind of Windows 11 PC, including laptops, desktops, and tablets. And it’s renamed it “Xbox mode.” Technically, you’ve been able to try the Xbox Full Screen Experience (FSE) in preview since November 2025, if you were part of both the Windows Insider and Xbox Insider Programs. But it needed work, as well as a better name. When Microsoft originally shipped it on the Asus-designed Xbox Ally and Xbox Ally X handhelds, we were clear: it didn’t meaningfully turn a PC experience into an easy-to-use Xbox one. But if Microsoft is putting its full weight behind PC as the future of Xbox gaming, perhaps that will change change. It certainly hasn’t stopped updating the Xbox Ally; the pricier version now feels downright reliable, which is not something I’ve generally accused Windows handhelds of before. Here at the 2026 Game Developers Conference, Microsoft also says it’s opening up Advanced Shader Delivery to all developers in the Xbox store, letting them speed up game load times by sending precompiled shaders when you download games there. (I’ve heard it’s a common technique on consoles, and Valve offers precompiled shaders with Steam.) And, it’s hinting that it will bring classic Xbox games to PC, too: “As part of our 25th anniversary later this year, we’ll be rolling out new ways to play some of the most iconic games from our past.” If you consider yourself technical, you ma...
