S&P 500, Nasdaq Composite Close at New Highs as Airline Stocks Soar After Strong Delta Earnings Report; Bitcoin Surges to Record

Jensen Huang is Almost as Rich as Warren Buffett

19 minutes ago

Jensen Huang’s wealth could soon overtake famed investor Warren Buffett’s, as Nvidia’s rising stock has made the AI chipmaker the most valuable company in history. 

Nvidia (NVDA) on Wednesday became the first company to hit a market capitalization of $4 trillion, though it finished the day just below that level. The shares added another 0.8% Thursday to close just above $164, putting the market cap back above $4 trillion. The stock is 21% higher for 2025 and up roughly 1,400% over the past 5 years.

Huang, Nvidia’s CEO, owns about 3.5% of the AI boom’s poster child. He’s seen his net worth climb to an estimated $142 billion as of Wednesday, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, rising $2.47 billion yesterday alone, and swelling over $27 billion since the start of the year.

 This week’s gains have made Huang the 10th richest person in the world in Bloomberg’s ranking, just behind Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.ABRK.B) CEO and “Oracle of Omaha” Warren Buffett at an estimated $144 billion.

At that level, it wouldn’t take much for Huang’s wealth to overtake Buffett’s. Wall Street’s analysts are largely bullish on Nvidia’s potential for more gains, with a mean target near $175 compiled by Visible Alpha.

A Nvidia spokesperson declined to comment on the stock’s gains and Huang’s net worth.

Estée Lauder Pops as BofA Issues ‘Buy’ Rating

1 hr 22 min ago

Shares of Estée Lauder Cos. (EL) surged Thursday after Bank of America reinstated coverage of the stock with a “buy” rating and a bullish price target, citing optimism about the cosmetics giant’s recovery efforts.

BofA Securities analysts gave the stock a price objective of $110. Estée Lauder shares were among the top S&P 500 gainers today, rising 6% to around $92.

BofA analysts wrote that Estée Lauder is the “#2 player in attractive market, where cyclical upside exists,” adding that the firm’s “Beauty Reimagined” turnaround plan would “drive efficiency & rebuild volumes.”

Last month, Deutsche Bank upgraded the stock to “buy” from “hold” and lifted its price target to $95 from $71, with analysts writing that Estée Lauder was “in a far better position to at least keep pace (if not surpass) market growth rates.”

With today’s sharp gains, Estée Lauder shares have added nearly a quarter of their value this year.

Autodesk Sinks on Report It’s Looking to Buy Rival PTC

2 hr 24 min ago

Autodesk (ADSK) was among the worst-performing stocks in the S&P 500 Thursday, a day after a report that the engineering-software company was mulling an acquisition of rival PTC (PTC).

Citing people familiar with the matter, Bloomberg  reported Wednesday that Autodesk “has been working with advisers to evaluate a cash-and-stock deal for Boston-based PTC.” The news site added that “no final decision has been made and Autodesk could opt against pursuing a deal for PTC.”

Autodesk has a market capitalization of about $60 billion, while PTC has a market value of roughly $23 billion.

Neither Autodesk nor PTC immediately returned an Investopedia request for comment.

Autodesk shares were down nearly 7% in recent trading to move into negative territory for the year. PTC shares were also down about 7% but remain up 6% for 2025.

Why Wall Street Might be Underestimating Palantir

2 hr 49 min ago

Palantir’s (PLTR) stock has been one of the biggest beneficiaries of the AI boom this year, with one longtime bull expecting it still has room to rise, amid some worries on Wall Street the stock could be overvalued.

Wedbush analysts led by Dan Ives raised their price target to $160 from $140 on Thursday, implying roughly 12% upside from Wednesday’s close, anticipating Palantir could be a “core winner in the trillions of AI spend over the next few years.”

However, Wedbush’s bullish stance stands out on Wall Street, with most of the 11 analysts surveyed by Visible Alpha divided between neutral and “sell” ratings. Their targets lean decidedly more bearish than bullish, with a mean of $97, amid some concerns the stock may have already climbed too high, too fast.

Palantir is the biggest gainer in the Nasdaq 100 so far in 2025.

TradingView


Palantir shares have added almost 90% in 2025 so far and are worth roughly five times today what they were a year ago as demand for Palantir’s Artificial Intelligence Platform has surged. 

“We believe the Street is underestimating the $1 billion+ revenue stream that [Palantir’s Artificial Intelligence Platform] US commercial business can evolve into over the next few years and the technology competitive moat that (CEO Alex) Karp & Co. have built,” Wedbush told clients Thursday.

Wedbush added Palantir could be in a “sweet spot” to benefit from federal spending in North America and Europe, with the Trump administration’s focus on AI initiatives presenting another tailwind for the stock.

Last month, Palantir said it was partnering with professional services firm Accenture (ACN) to “deploy commercial-grade, AI-powered solutions to address federal agencies’ highest priority operational challenges.” The federal government has reportedly integrated Palantir’s software into multiple agencies, including the Department of Homeland Security and the Health and Human Services Department.

Palantir shares were down slightly at around $142 in late trading Thursday.

AMD Jumps as HSBC Upgrades Stock on AI Chip Strength

4 hr 9 min ago

The performance of Advanced Micro Devices’ (AMD) latest AI chips is on par with those from Silicon Valley rival Nvidia’s (NVDA), HSBC analysts said.

In a note Thursday, HSBC analysts upgraded their rating on AMD to a “buy” from a “hold” and doubled their price target to $200, noting that AMD’s latest series of chips can compete with Nvidia’s Blackwell GPUs. AMD launched its Instinct MI350 Series GPUs last month, claiming the chips offered four times more computing power than its previous generation.

AMD shares were up more than 4% in recent trading, pacing Nasdaq 100 gainers.

“With the recent launch of the MI350 series, we were pleasantly surprised with the performance upgrades which imply that the MI350 series can compete with Nvidia latest-gen HGX B200 AI GPU,” HSBC analysts wrote. “Owing to the performance enhancements, the pricing premium is much higher than expected earlier which could help drive upside to earnings in 2025 and 2026.”

The analysts, led by Frank Lee, also wrote that there was further upside possible for AMD shares when the chipmaker launches its MI400 series next year, which could compete with Nvidia’s next-generation Vera Rubin platform—scheduled for the second half of 2026. AMD unveiled the MI400 last month in an event hosted by CEO Lisa Su and Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, which has signed on as a customer for the next-gen chips.

Bitcoin Price Levels to Watch After Latest Record High

5 hr 16 min ago

Bitcoin (BTCUSD) hit an all-time high on Thursday after powering past $112,000 yesterday for its first new high since late May.

In recent months, the cryptocurrency has received a boost from more companies adding it to their corporate treasuries and lawmakers working towards passing pro-crypto legislation.

Bitcoin’s price nudged above the top trendline of a descending channel on Wednesday, paving the way for a continuation move higher. Moreover, the relative strength index confirms bullish momentum and remains below overbought levels, providing ample room for the digital asset to move into price discovery mode.

Source: TradingView.com.

However, it’s worth pointing out that trading volume continues to dwindle on Coinbase (COIN), the largest U.S.-based crypto exchange, suggesting that larger market participants, such as institutional investors, may be accumulating the asset through spot bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) rather than exchanges.

The measuring principle projects an upside target if $146,400. Investors should also watch major support levels on bitcoin’s chart around $107,000 and $100,000.

Bitcoin was trading at $112,900 recently.

Kellogg Pops as Ferrero Buys Cereal Giant for $3.1 Billion

5 hr 59 min ago

Shares of WK Kellogg (KLG) surged 30% Thursday as the maker of Froot Loops and Frosted Flakes announced it had reached a deal to be acquired by Italian sweets company The Ferrero Group for $23 per share in cash, or about $3.1 billion.

WK Kellogg stock had soared overnight on a report from The Wall Street Journal that the companies could finalize a deal “as soon as this week.” Shares were recently trading for $22.85—a level they hadn’t hit in more than a year as shifting attitudes towards diet and price increases in the category ate into cereal sales. The stock had entered Thursday trading slightly negative for 2025.

“We believe this proposed transaction maximizes value for our shareowners and enables WK Kellogg Co to write the next chapter of our company’s storied legacy,” CEO Gary Pilnick said, adding that joining Ferrero would provide the firm “with greater resources and more flexibility to grow our iconic brands in this competitive and dynamic market.”

The transaction is expected to close in the second half of 2025. The New York Stock Exchange-listed cereal giant said once it does, it would become a privately held subsidiary of Ferrero, which has more than 14,000 employees in North America, where its portfolio includes Nutella, Tic Tac, and Butterfinger.

“Over recent years, Ferrero has expanded its presence in North America, bringing together our well-known brands from around the world with local jewels rooted in the U.S.,” Ferrero Group Executive Chairman Giovanni Ferrero said. “Today’s news is a key milestone in that journey, giving us confidence in the opportunities ahead.”

WK Kellogg emerged in 2023 when Kellogg split up its cereal lines and snack business, which became Kellanova (K).

Robotaxi Expansion, Grok Chatbot in Teslas Coming Soon

6 hr 31 min ago

Tesla (TSLA) will likely expand its robotaxi service in the coming weeks and months, and will also soon have Grok, the chatbot made by another Elon Musk-owned company, added to its vehicles likely by next week.

Musk made the statements in a pair of posts on X, the social media platform he owns, Wednesday night and into Thursday morning, responding to users discussing whether Grok would come to Tesla vehicles, and about Tesla’s robotaxi service that launched last month.

Musk said the area around Austin where its robotaxis can operate will get bigger this weekend, and said the EV maker is awaiting regulatory approval to expand to California’s Bay Area, which Musk said will likely happen in the next two months. The robotaxi launch has been relatively smooth, with some reported issues like vehicles stopping in the middle of an intersection and briefly driving on the wrong side of the road.

The looming addition of Grok to Tesla vehicles comes at a tense point for the chatbot, as earlier this week it was the center of its latest controversy surrounding dozens of antisemitic posts where the large language model referred to itself as “MechaHitler” and praised the German dictator.

The company removed the posts, and briefly took Grok offline for the public. In the days since, X CEO Linda Yaccarino announced her departure, with reports suggesting tensions were rising between her and Musk, and xAI also unveiled the newest version of the chatbot, Grok 4, on Wednesday night.

Also on Wednesday, Tesla said in a regulatory filing that it will hold its annual shareholder meeting on Nov. 6. The filing came after pressure from shareholders and elected officials as it remains uncertain whether Tesla’s meeting taking place in November violates a Texas law requiring annual meetings to take place within 13 months of the previous meeting, as Tesla’s was held last July.

Tesla shares were up nearly 3% in recent trading. They have lost a quarter of their value since the start of this year, with some analysts calling for Tesla’s board to act to curb Musk’s involvement in politics.

MP Materials Stock Soars on Rare Earths DOD Deal

7 hr 59 min ago

Shares of MP Materials (MP) surged more than 50% in early trading Thursday after the rare earths miner announced a multibillion-dollar agreement with the Department of Defense.

The DoD is set to become MP Materials’ largest shareholder at 15% following an initial $400 million purchase of a new class of “preferred stock convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock, and a warrant permitting DoD to purchase additional shares of the Company’s common stock.”

MP Materials will use the government investment, along with a $1 billion funding line from JPMorgan Chase (JPM) and Goldman Sachs (GS) to fund the construction of its second domestic magnet manufacturing facility at a yet-to-be-decided location.

The company also agreed to a 10-year deal with the DoD establishing the government as a long-term customer of MP’s rare earths with a price floor of $110 per kilogram.

The Trump administration has stated that becoming less dependent on other nations like China for rare earths—metals used in production of a variety of commercial and military products—is a top priority and national security concern. Shares of MP and USA Rare Earth (USAR) have been boosted this year by that commitment.

MP Materials shares were up 56% recently, trading at their highest level in more than three years. USA Rare Earth shares were up about 15% this morning.

Delta Leads Airline Stocks Higher After Strong Earnings Report

8 hr 18 min ago

Delta Air Lines (DAL) was the top-performing stock in the S&P 500 early Thursday after the carrier reported better second-quarter results than analysts had expected and reinstated its full-year outlook.

Delta posted adjusted earnings per share of $2.10 on revenue that was roughly flat year-over-year at $16.65 billion. Analysts polled by Visible Alpha had projected $2.08 and $16.41 billion, respectively. Last quarter, Delta said it expected revenue to be down 2% to up 2%, with adjusted EPS within a range of $1.70 to $2.30.

For the third quarter, the airline sees revenue between flat and up 4%, with adjusted EPS between $1.25 and $1.75. Analysts expect revenue roughly flat at $15.69 billion, with adjusted EPS of $1.36.

Delta also reintroduced its full-year projections, saying it expects adjusted EPS of $5.25 to $6.25, with the midpoint well above analysts’ consensus of $5.31. Last quarter, it said it would provide an update to its outlook once the “current uncertainty” passed.

“As we look to the second half of our centennial year, we remain focused on executing our strategic priorities and managing the levers within our control to deliver strong earnings and cash flow,” Delta CEO Ed Bastian said, adding that restoring its full-year guidance reflects “our confidence in the business.”

Delta shares were up roughly 13% recently, but they remain down about 6% since the start of the year. Shares of rivals United Airlines (UAL) and American Airlines (AAL) were also up sharply this morning.

Microsoft Levels to Watch as Stock Above $500 for 1st Time

8 hr 56 min ago

Microsoft (MSFT) shares hit another record high on Wednesday as the tech giant’s market capitalization moves closer to $4 trillion. 

The stock closed at around $503 yesterday, putting its market cap at $3.74 trillion, trailing only Nvidia (NVDA), which briefly surpassed the $4 trillion level on Wednesday.

Investment bank Oppenheimer believes Microsoft has room for further upside, placing a $600 price target on the stock yesterday, in part due to the company’s AI revenue growth prospects. Meanwhile, Wedbush analyst Dan Ives told clients in a note Wednesday that he anticipates Microsoft to reach the $4 trillion mark this summer.

The stock has risen 46% from its early-April low and is nearly 20% higher year-to-date as of Wednesday’s close.

Source: TradingView.com.

After bottoming near the 200-week moving average in early April, Microsoft shares have remained in a strong uptrend, gaining in 12 of the past 14 weeks.

While the relative strength index confirms bullish price momentum, it has recently crossed into overbought territory, an area on the indicator that has previously coincided with consolidation phases in the stock.

It’s worth noting that the volume has trended downward during the stock’s move higher in recent months, indicating that some larger institutional investors may be waiting for the tech giant’s next earnings report before deploying more capital.

Investors should watch crucial support levels on Microsoft’s chart near $468 and $425.

Justin Bieber Surprise-Releases New Album Swag: Listen

Published

on


Justin Bieber has surprise-released a new album called Swag. The album features Dijon, Lil B, Sexyy Red, the comedian Druski, Gunna, Cash Cobain, 2 Chainz, and others. Production comes from Dijon, Mk.gee, Knox Fortune, Daniel Caesar, and more, and a key songwriter across the album is Tobias Jesso Jr. Listen to the album below.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Bieber had been hosting “jam sessions” at his Los Angeles home in recent months. The publication also reported that the singer decamped to Iceland to jam, “vibe out,” and finish his album.

One of the new album’s collaborators, Mk.gee, had previously spoken about his work with Bieber for a New York Times feature. “He’s searching,” the guitarist told The Times’ Joe Coscarelli last year. “Anything that comes out of his mouth: That’s pop music,” he continued. “You can really do pretty wild stuff behind that, just because it represents something.”

Swag is Bieber’s seventh studio album and first since 2021’s Justice. He began his Justice World Tour the next year, but he had to cancel it early due to health issues. The tour cancellation apparently led to financial issues with his then-manager Scooter Braun, who allegedly helped Bieber cover the more than $20 million that the singer owed to the tour’s promoter, AEG Presents. Bieber and Braun recently settled their dispute, according to The Hollywood Reporter and TMZ.

In 2023, Bieber sold his catalog to Recognition Music Group (then known as Hipgnosis) for a reported $200 million. It marked the company’s largest catalog acquisition at the time.

Bieber has limited his musical output in the time since Justice. He teamed up with SZA on “Snooze (Acoustic),” Kehlani on “Up at Night,” and Omah Lay on “Attention,” to name a few of his collaborative efforts. He also shared the songs “Honest,” “I Feel Funny,” and “Beautiful Love (Free Fire).”

Justin Bieber soundtracked one of his promotional posts for Swag with Florida rapper Bossman Dlow’s Mr Beat the Road standout “Talk My Shit.” Read more about the pop superstar’s fascination with regional hip-hop in Alphonse Pierre’s column “What the Hell Is Justin Bieber Doing on Rob49’s ‘WTHelly?’

Mavs rookie the center of attention

Published

on


LAS VEGAS — The Cooper Flagg era unofficially began Thursday night when the Dallas Mavericks opened the Las Vegas Summer League with an 87-85 win over the Los Angeles Lakers.

Here are five observations from Flagg’s debut in Thursday’s win over the Lakers:

Center of attention: Flagg vs. James

Thomas & Mack Center drew a nearly full arena that was full of people waiting to see Flagg match up with Lakers sophomore guard Bronny James.

Mavericks

Be the smartest Mavericks fan. Get the latest news.

It was apparent from the moment the jump ball went in favor of the Mavericks that the anticipation was already pent up among both teams. Flagg received the ball and the Lakers sent two defenders to double-team him immediately, almost as if they knew the Mavericks’ first play of the game.

Flagg drew attention early, but James had a quick start that resulted in the first five points for the Lakers. James drilled a smooth step-back from the midrange over Flagg to open scoring for both teams. He followed that up with a triple as Flagg went under a screen. James finished with eight points, two rebounds and two assists on 2-of-8 shooting from the field.

The two headliners guarded each other several times throughout the game. Flagg posted James up on three consecutive possessions in the second quarter, sparking oohs and aahs from the crowd. James managed to cleanly poke the ball away from Flagg on the second post-up attempt, but a foul was called and the fans inside the arena antagonized by the moment jeered. Flagg was successful on the third, as he drilled a midrange shot over LeBron James’ eldest son.

James had a chance to win the game in the fourth quarter, but missed a hesitation 3-pointer as the final buzzer expired.

Flagg finished with 10 points, six rebounds, four assists and three steals in 31 minutes of action.

Flagg’s second wind

Flagg went to the bench after the first timeout of the game to catch a quick breather after missing his first two shots. His brightest moment of the game occurred a minute later as he made several high-impact plays upon checking back into the game.

The Mavericks rookie came up with a steal and took the ball the length of the court while outrunning two Lakers defenders before throwing down a one-handed dunk. He followed that up with a midrange shot he knocked down as he fell to the floor.

Flagg managed to show why he was the consensus top pick by showing his versatile skill set. He defended well and managed to get over screens. He served as a viable playmaker. He rebounded. However, he didn’t shoot the ball well, finishing just 5-of-21 from the field.

It’s natural that Flagg could be rusty, considering it was his first official game since Duke was eliminated from the Final Four in March. That wasn’t an excuse for Flagg, who reflected on his performance after the game.

“I tried to be aggressive,” Flagg said. “That’s new for me. Honestly, that might be one of the worst games of my life, but we got the win so that’s what really matters to me.”

Point Flagg

After weeks of anticipation of what Flagg would look like in a point guard role, the basketball world received a glimpse of Mavericks coach Jason Kidd’s vision.

Flagg brought the ball up the court several times and managed to be successful with his handle, even when Lakers defenders tried to be physical. He was often picked up full court, but used his body to shield himself from defenders looking to steal the ball.

Late in the fourth quarter, Flagg drove into the paint, spun as if he was going to rise for a midrange shot and swung the ball to Maxwell Lewis in the corner for a clean 3-pointer. It was only his third assist, but an example of his high IQ on display.

Flagg is just 18 years old, but he showed poise initiating the offense and made smart passes, especially in transition. He had only one turnover, an impressive feat considering how much he had the ball in his hands. In fact, the Mavericks only turned the ball over nine times — an acceptable number after practicing only twice this week leading up to the opener.

“I was looking forward to it,” Flagg said. “Obviously being able to split some reps with Ryan [Nembhard] and share that with him. It was fun. It’s new for me bringing it up, having that full court pressure. I’m not in full game shape so I was tired … It was fun to experiment with some new things.”

It’s unclear how much point guard we’ll see Flagg run during the regular season, but he’ll be an option to use if Kidd wishes to.

Mavericks’ two-ways

Flagg wasn’t the only player who made an impression in Thursday’s game. Mavericks two-way guard Ryan Nembhard, who’s known as a playmaker, led the team in scoring with 21 points and five assists. Two-way guard Miles Kelly added 17 points, four rebounds and two assists.

Both players started alongside Flagg, Jamarion Sharp and Maxwell Lewis.

Nembhard gave the Mavericks a two-point lead with 59.1 seconds left after drilling a triple, assisted by Flagg. He knocked down several timely jumpers throughout the game and didn’t allow his 6-foot frame to hinder him from getting to his spots.

Blanket of support

There were several notable faces sitting courtside to take in the Mavericks’ summer league opener. Mavs Governor Patrick Dumont sat across from the Dallas bench. He was joined by a bevy of key members from the varsity group, including Kyrie Irving, P.J. Washington, Max Christie, Naji Marshall, Jaden Hardy and Olivier-Maxence Prosper.

That group of Mavericks rose to their feet early in the second quarter when Flagg drilled a fadeaway shot from the baseline over the outstretched hands of James. Flagg showed his fiery spirit and appeared to yell toward his new teammates, celebrating the successful moment of competition against James.

“I definitely heard them. It was cool seeing them there and showing up in support of us,” Flagg said. “I didn’t really say anything. I just kind of looked at them. They were kind of saying stuff a couple of plays before. That was just a funny moment.”

Members of the front office and coaching staff were also present, including assistant general managers Michael Finley and Matt Riccardi, along with head coach Jason Kidd and new lead assistant coach Frank Vogel, plus other support staff. Minority shareholder Mark Cuban was also in attendance. General manager Nico Harrison was noticeably absent, but there was more than enough support from the franchise for the team’s first game in Las Vegas.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: Prime Day is the best time of the year to upgrade your Amazon hardware. These devices tend to see the biggest price drops. In fact, outside of Black Friday — Prime Day is when you’ll find the biggest price cuts on Amazon gear.

That said, I do have one gripe with Amazon. In previous Prime Days, they’ve included a free smart bulb with select hardware purchases. This year you have to purchase the bulb at a discounted price of $4.99.

Additionally, the Echo is selling for $99, the Echo Show 15 for $299, and the Echo Show 21 for $399. Those are all list prices! It’s a shame Amazon didn’t discount these items that would otherwise normally get Prime Day price cuts.

That said, most other Amazon gear is on sale from as low as $8. So if you’re gonna update the Echo Dot — now is the best time to do so.

Our top massage gun is on sale…

I love to workout. I also love a good post-workout sports massage. Sadly, they can quickly get expensive, which is where the Hyperice comes into the picture.

If you’re not familiar with the brand, Hyperice makes some of the best massage guns we’ve tested and right now our top pick is on sale for Prime Day. You can get the Editor’s Choice Hyperice Hypervolt Go 2 for $129 right now.

According to price tracking tool Camelizer, this isn’t the cheapest it’s been. It hit $99 at the start of the year, but it’s still an epic deal at $129 and much cheaper than getting a sports massage every week!

The INIU B41 is, according to the brand, the world’s slimmest power bank, and it certainly packs a punch. It’s highly pocketable and won’t take up space in your backpack, but its prowess lies in its ability to charge devices over and over and over again. It can charge most smartphones at least three times before dying.

10,000mAh of power and 3A fast charging also mean that this power bank can provide lots of juice when you’re in a hurry. INIU says that the B41 can fuel most smartphones up to 78% within an hour

Storing it is extremely easy as it’s quite compact, so you can lean it against a wall or use the included wall mount. The deal also includes four attachments, increasing the R10 Pro’s versatility.
