Advanced Micro Devices AMD announced plans to invest more than $10 billion across Taiwan's AI ecosystem, in a move aimed at scaling advanced packaging capacity and accelerating next-generation AI infrastructure deployment. The investment was framed around expanding partnerships with Taiwan-based manufacturers including ASE (3711), SPIL, PTI (6239), and multiple substrate and ODM providers. AMD shares dropped 2.07% in premarket. The investment is focused on scaling 2.5D and panel-based packaging architectures, including Elevated Fanout Bridge (EFB) technology designed to increase interconnect bandwidth and improve power efficiency in high-performance compute systems. These packaging advances are positioned as enabling AMD's 6th Gen EPYC CPUs, codenamed Venice, alongside Instinct MI450X GPUs and rack-scale systems under the Helios platform. The company said Helios-based systems are on track for multi-gigawatt deployments beginning in the second half of 2026. Chair and CEO Lisa Su said: As AI adoption accelerates, our global customers are rapidly scaling AI infrastructure to meet growing compute demand.

(This is The Best Stocks in the Market , brought to you by Josh Brown and Sean Russo of Ritholtz Wealth Management.) Josh — Trading profits in equities, fixed income, commodities and currencies come and go on Wall Street. They're a helpful contributor to the bulge brackets' earnings per share, but they do nothing for the multiple. Because everyone knows that trading profits are ephemeral. They can fall or even reverse into losses at any time. As Frank Sinatra explains, "That's life. That's what all the people say. You're riding high in April, shot down in May." So when you think of Morgan Stanley , I want you to think of two things - investment banking and wealth. Those are the twin engines of the company's renaissance over the last two decades since the financial crisis. They're the two businesses that Morgan Stanley does as well as or better than any other player in the world. The benefits of an explosive (and long-duration) bull market for a top-tier investment bank are obvious. All this frenetic activity in underwriting, capital raising, IPOs, secondaries, mergers and acquisitions, private equity and debt deals, etc. — the opportunities have been endless and don't require much explanation. On the Wealth side, Morgan Stanley's shrewdness may not be as readily apparent to the outside observer. Under former CEO James Gorman, the company integrated its massive Smith Barney takeover and then set about acquiring businesses that would do the most important thing in the industry: make it rain. Having thousands of financial advisors cold-calling to find their next one or two clients is cute. Having millions of customers for other services flood into the Morgan Stanley machine and then be connected to financial advisors from inside the firm, well that's just genius. Morgan Stanley's internal referral machine is literally on fire. Over the past five years, Morgan Stanley's wealth management business has pulled in more than $1.6 trillion in net new assets and doubled its fe...

Optimum Communications Inc. , formerly known as Altice USA, is negotiating a new financing deal that could dilute the collateral backing its existing debt, potentially escalating a feud with a group of creditors it sued last year. The struggling telecom company is speaking to investment firms outside of an existing lender alliance regarding the potential financing, according to people familiar with the matter. The new money would be issued through a so-called unrestricted subsidiary, a corporate unit that’s free to borrow often by stripping collateral from existing lenders, the people said, asking not to be identified discussing private information. Representatives for Optimum didn’t immediately respond to requests for comment while its adviser White & Case didn’t have an immediate comment. The deal isn’t final and the plans could still change. The negotiations mark the latest chapter in a months-long legal battle between the US unit of billionaire Patrick Drahi ’s global telecom empire and its creditors. Optimum sued lenders including Apollo Capital Management, Ares Management and BlackRock Financial Management in November, alleging the alliance they formed — a so-called cooperation pact — effectively froze the company out of the US credit market. Lenders have asked for the lawsuit to be thrown out. Around that time, Optimum obtained a $2 billion loan from JPMorgan Chase & Co. , which carried some of the strictest investor safeguards in its capital structure. But the borrowing was backed by collateral stripped from existing creditors, elevating JPMorgan’s position in the repayment hierarchy, Moody’s Ratings said in a December report.

stockcam/iStock Unreleased via Getty Images Introduction & Investment Thesis Reddit (NYSE: RDDT ) stock was in the red yesterday, down 5.5% after Google (NASDAQ: GOOG ) announced a broad overhaul of Search at its I/O 2026 developer conference, which investors fear could lead to a decline in user traffic flow and monetization for Reddit. As an existing investor in Reddit for The Pragmatic Optimist Portfolio, I believe the potential Google-related headwinds are already priced in, as the stock carries a significantly higher risk premium compared to, say, Meta ( META ). I say this because both stocks are trading at a similar forward PE ratio, even though Reddit is expected to grow its revenues and earnings by twice and thrice the rate of Meta, respectively, over the next three years. While Google-related risks are not negligible, the good thing is that Reddit's management has already been doubling down on their own AI-powered search platform, which is seeing strong momentum in user growth and monetization, with its Q1 FY26 earnings beating estimates on both the top and bottom lines. Not only that, the majority of users that come to Reddit from Google Search tend to be “logged out” users that carry far lower ARPUs (Average Revenue Per User), meaning that even if user traffic flow to Reddit drops as a result of Google’s Search updates, its monetization engine should be shielded. As a result, I believe that the selloff in Reddit is actually a gift in disguise, where I would use the opportunity to expand my position in the company while reiterating my “buy” rating on the stock. Why Do Google’s Search Updates Matter to Reddit? Google announced a broad overhaul of Search at its I/O 2026 developer conference, where the company introduced an AI-powered multimodal search interface and agentic AI capabilities for a more interactive and personalized user experience. In response to that, Reddit's stock price came under pressure yesterday as investors are concerned about the platfor...

Sundry Photography/iStock Editorial via Getty Images A prediction-market contract on Polymarket is offering a window into how traders are thinking about a potential SpaceX ( SPCX ) initial public offering, and the consensus points to a valuation clustered around $2T to $2.4T. According to the contract, traders are assigning a 73% probability that SpaceX ( SPCX ) would close its first trading day above a $2T market capitalization, with a 57% chance it finishes above $2.2T. The odds drop off sharply at higher valuations. The market shows just a 42% chance of a close above $2.4T, 17% above $3T, 10% above $3.2T, and a mere 3% probability of exceeding $4T. The implied pricing suggests traders expect a massive debut—but not the kind of extreme blowout that some private-market enthusiasm might suggest. Still, if the company reaches an estimated valuation of roughly $1.71T at the time of its June Nasdaq listing, it would reportedly surpass the previous record for the world’s most valuable newly public company, set by Saudi Aramco ( ARMCO ) during its 2019 debut.

Brandon Bell/Getty Images News SpaceX ( SPCX ) is preparing to launch the latest version of its massive Starship rocket on Thursday in a closely watched test that comes just one day after the company publicly filed for a blockbuster IPO . The launch is scheduled for 5:30 p.m. local time from the company’s Starbase site in South Texas. The mission will mark the first flight of Starship Version 3, an upgraded model designed to improve performance, reliability and reusability. The test arrives at a pivotal moment for Elon Musk’s company. SpaceX ( SPCX ) disclosed plans this week for a public offering that could value the company at as much as $2 trillion, while also revealing significant losses and a share structure that would keep Musk firmly in control. Starship is central to SpaceX’s ( SPCX ) long-term growth plans. The rocket is intended to carry cargo and astronauts to the moon and eventually Mars, while also supporting ambitious projects such as launching huge numbers of Starlink satellites that could be used for AI-related computing infrastructure. NASA is also depending on Starship for its Artemis moon program. SpaceX holds roughly $4 billion in lunar landing contracts with the agency. The mission follows a difficult stretch for the program. Several Version 2 Starship test flights last year ended in explosions or technical failures, and the company also experienced accidents during ground testing at Starbase. SpaceX ( SPCX ) is attempting to build the world’s first fully reusable rocket system. Both the Super Heavy booster and the Starship spacecraft are designed to return intact after launch and fly again. The company has already demonstrated booster recoveries using its launch tower, though it has not yet recovered the entire system successfully. Version 3 includes upgraded Raptor engines, redesigned flight systems and changes intended to make the vehicle easier to reuse. Thursday’s mission will follow a familiar profile. After liftoff, the Super Heavy booste...

Smokers in China are being chided by anti-smoking women toggle caption Johannes Eisele/AFP/via Getty Images Hilda Wang scolds smokers and posts videos of the encounters. She says she's a natural introvert –- but she gets so upset about smoking that her personality has changed. In a widely shared clip, she's lecturing a man with a cigarette in hand. He says she has no right to put him on video. She tells the man he's an embarrassment, and he walks away. Wang comes into contact with a lot of smokers. She lives in China, a hard-smoking nation, and smoking habits tend to fall along a gender divide. According to the latest data from the World Health Organization , about 45% of males and 2% of females above the age of 15 smoke tobacco. Sponsor Message In Shenzhen, a densely-packed city of almost 20 million residents just north of Hong Kong, Wang is one of many women who have been confronting men smoking in public areas. Sometimes the confrontations end up on social media. "I hate bros," says Hilda's friend Luno Wang, who also scolds men she sees smoking. She says "bros" are lower IQ and less civilized, and don't respect others. She says she's asked men: "Is your cigarette a good thing for you to suck?" toggle caption Reena Advani/NPR In a clip that spread on social media this spring, a woman confronted a smoker at a bus stop. When he refused to put out his cigarette, she poured juice on it. He threw the empty cup at her, and both were arrested. The woman posted afterward on China's social media Weibo that she was strip-searched by police; her posts were later taken down. The state-owned China Daily said a female officer gave her a "safety check" in accordance with regulations. China Daily also reported that the man was breaking Shenzhen's rules for no smoking at bus stops and he was fined. The anti-smoking brigade has a lot of confrontations ahead of it. "I love smoking," says Tan Tia-shan, a restaurant kitchen worker who's been doing it since he was a pilot in the army 4...

(RTTNews) - A report released by the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia on Thursday showed regional manufacturing activity unexpectedly weakened in the month of May. The Philly Fed said its diffusion index for current general activity plummeted to a negative 0.4 in May from a positive 26.7 in April, with a negative reading indicating contraction. Economists had expected the index to pull back to a positive 15.0. The steep drop by the headline index partly reflected a significant downturn in new orders, as the new orders index dove to a negative 1.7 in May from a positive 33.0 in April. The shipments index also plunged to a positive 4.9 in May from a positive 34.0 in April, although the positive reading still indicates growth. The report said the number of employees index rose to a negative 2.8 in May from a negative 5.1 in April, but the negative reading still suggests overall declines in employment. On the inflation front, the Philly Fed said both price indexes declined this month but remained above their long-run non-recession averages. The prices paid index tumbled to 47.9 in May from 59.3 in April, while the prices received index slumped to 26.3 in May from 33.5 in April. Meanwhile, the Philly Fed said firms continue to expect overall growth over the next six months, with the diffusion index for future general activity surging to 53.2 in May from 40.8 in April and reaching its highest reading since June 2021.

DNC chair Ken Martin makes a speech during the press conference for the DNC site visit at Ball Arena in Denver, Colorado on Wednesday, May 6, 2026. Hyoung Chang | Denver Post | Getty Images The Democratic National Committee on Thursday released the long-awaited autopsy of its 2024 election wipeout, only for party Chair Ken Martin to eviscerate the incomplete report as an inadequate work product. The report, released in full along with annotations highlighting perceived shortcomings, has some sections left entirely blank, including the executive summary and conclusion. A disclaimer sits at the top of each page saying: "This document reflects the views of the author, not the DNC." DNC Chair Ken Martin wrote a Substack post accompanying the report, where he addressed simmering frustration over the party's decision to shelve the report. He said he did so because the report "wasn't ready for primetime. Not even close," and its release would "create a distraction." Martin apologized that his decision to hold the report "ended up creating an even bigger distraction," and slammed the contents of the report.

I don't endorse what's in this report, or what's left out of it," Martin wrote. "I could not in good faith put the DNC's stamp of approval on it. But transparency is paramount. So, today I am releasing the report as I received it – in its entirety, unedited and unabridged – with annotations for claims that couldn't be verified." The report made numerous sharp critiques of Democrats in the lead-up to the 2024 election. But it also includes annotations that the DN...
