Bank of America zvýšila cílové ceny pro ServiceNow, Figma, Workday, Adobe a Snowflake kvůli očekávání, že z AI budou těžit. ServiceNow poté ve středu vzrostl o 6,5 %.
Bank of America is growing more bullish on a group of software companies that it believes are well positioned to benefit from artificial intelligence, helping fuel a broader rally in the sector on Wednesday.
The bank raised its price targets for ServiceNow, Figma, Workday, Adobe and Snowflake, arguing that these companies have shown strong potential to monetize AI.
ServiceNow closed 6.5% higher on Wednesday.
The move reflects a growing shift in investor sentiment toward traditional software companies, which have spent much of the year under pressure from concerns that AI could disrupt their business models and make some software products redundant.
Instead, investors are increasingly betting that companies with deep customer relationships, proprietary data and established enterprise workflows could use AI to expand their products and generate new revenue.
That view helped lift Figma, Workday and Adobe by between 3% and 4% on Wednesday, while the iShares Expanded Tech-Software Sector ETF gained 1%.
Bank of America analyst Tal Liani raised his price target for ServiceNow to $150 from $130 while reiterating a Buy rating.
Liani said ServiceNow is well positioned to benefit from the development of agentic AI, in part because the company has access to historical data and context surrounding how its customers operate their businesses.
ServiceNow's platform helps companies manage workflows ranging from employee onboarding and human resources to other internal business processes.
That gives the company insight into the way organizations perform tasks and make decisions.
Liani believes that knowledge could give ServiceNow an advantage as businesses deploy AI agents capable of performing increasingly complex tasks.
He also pointed to the company's second-quarter performance, noting that ServiceNow exceeded Wall Street expectations for current remaining performance obligations and subscription revenue growth.
Bank of America also raised its targets for several other software companies, including Figma, Workday, Adobe and Snowflake, although Liani said he remains selective about the sector.
Figma was raised to $33 from $30, Workday to $205 from $140, Adobe to $220 from $190, Amplitude from $12 to $14, Snowflake from $330 to $395, among others.
Another factor supporting software stocks is a growing sense that the threat from AI may not be as immediate as investors had feared.
Raymond James analyst Adam Tindle told MarketWatch that recent data points from AI companies such as OpenAI have been "mixed", potentially reducing the pressure on traditional software providers.
The Wall Street Journal reported on Tuesday that OpenAI's revenue rose to $6.7 billion in the three months ended in June, up 18% from the first quarter, while its operating loss widened to $12.3 billion from $9.3 billion.
The figures reportedly disappointed some investors. CNBC also reported on Wednesday that OpenAI CFO Sarah Friar told employees during an all-hands meeting that the company's revenue run rate was up 35% quarter to date.
OpenAI declined to comment.
Tindle said the developments could reduce the "existential perceived threat" that AI could eliminate software-as-a-service businesses such as ServiceNow.
The broader change in sentiment may be more important than any single company's share-price move, Benchmark analyst Yi Fu Lee told MarketWatch.
"What is changing now is that the market is beginning to see improving conviction in the underlying fundamentals and the growing realization that software is becoming a beneficiary of enterprise-AI deployment rather than a victim of AI disruption," he said.
Lee named ServiceNow as his top large-cap software pick, arguing that investors are increasingly rewarding companies with evidence of AI adoption, customer spending and monetization.
"What feels different today is that investors are rewarding companies that are showing tangible evidence of AI adoption, customer spending and monetization."
Cybersecurity is also becoming an increasingly important part of ServiceNow's investment story.
Lee highlighted the company's cybersecurity strategy under Yevgeny Dibrov, who leads its security efforts.
ServiceNow's security and risk business crossed $1 billion in annual contract value last year, providing another potential source of growth as companies seek to manage the security risks created by expanding AI adoption.
Fidelity a Schwab omezily přístup k daňově optimalizovaným long-short účtům pro bohaté klienty kvůli prudkému růstu a rizikům. Přesto někteří klienti posílají další peníze, než přijdou přísnější limity.

When brokerages making money on a strategy start turning clients away, pay attention. That is what just happened with tax-aware long-short accounts, the fastest-growing tax dodge for the very wealthy.
Two Custodians Just Slammed the Brake Per a Bloomberg “Great American Tax Dodge” investigation published August 18, 2026, Charles Schwab (NYSE:SCHW | SCHW Price Prediction) curbed how much of an adviser’s book can sit in these accounts, raised minimums, imposed borrowing and margin limits, and warned it will issue margin calls when accounts breach the new thresholds.
Fidelity moved earlier and harder. The largest US brokerage, with almost $20 trillion under administration, shut its doors to new clients and hiked fees for some existing ones. A spokesperson said “Fidelity chose to restrict access to new clients due to the unprecedented growth of these strategies on our platform.”
Schwab CEO Rick Wurster told Bloomberg the firm still wants to support the strategy and is going to great lengths to make sure advisers understand how complex and risky the accounts can be. On the July earnings call, he described the market as moving “past” the initial surge and into “more of a stable growth environment.”
What a Tax-Aware Long-Short SMA Actually Does The account bets both on and against companies, engineered to create losses alongside long-term gains, so the accumulated losses erase taxes owed on other investments or income. It’s aimed at people facing big capital events like private equity payouts, business sales, or large market gains.
The accounts require relentless daily transactions, heavy borrowing that can trigger margin calls, a large number of shorted stocks, and sometimes complex derivatives. Fidelity and Schwab supply the financing and stock loans that make it work. Schwab’s Jalina Kerr told Bloomberg: “These sophisticated strategies can involve thousands of positions and significant client reporting intricacies.” Clients receive hundreds of pages of tax documents.
Scale and Systemic Risk The strategy sits at the cutting edge of the $1 trillion “tax alpha” universe that helps wealthy people postpone or eliminate capital gains taxes. Schwab’s revenue from the business climbed to roughly $70 million by the second quarter. CFO commentary pegged it at “roughly 1%” of firm revenue, against total Q2 revenue of $7.1 billion.
Quantinno Capital, the shop that brought the first retail-scale tax-aware long-short SMA to Fidelity in October 2021, now has about $60 billion of assets, up from almost nothing five years ago. AQR surpassed $140 billion at the end of March, about $70 billion of it in tax-loss strategies, up from about $3 billion in 2023.
The custodians’ concern: as more money piles in, more of the same stocks get shorted, and a sudden loss could force everyone to unwind at once. If clients can’t post cash, the brokerage covers the shortfall. Former FDIC chair Sheila Bair told Bloomberg: “There’s no other reason to do it than avoid paying taxes. There’s risk for the firms offering this.”
Where the Wealthy Went Next The plumbing rerouted. Wealth managers ran to Schwab when Fidelity pulled back, and when Schwab curbed access, less traditional firms started fielding calls. Goldman Sachs (NYSE:GS) and BNY Pershing have stepped into custody for these accounts, with Goldman citing “longstanding expertise as prime brokers.”
That’s consistent with Goldman’s Q2. Asset and wealth management revenues hit $4.6 billion, up 20% year-over-year, with wealth client assets near $2 trillion and CEO David Solomon saying the firm has “never been better positioned to help founders and executives realize and manage newly created wealth.”
Regulators are watching. At a July gathering in New York, Treasury officials warned that some strategies designed to slash tax bills may be crossing lines “that should not be crossed.” No rule has been issued.
Retail Playbook: Tax Moves You Can Actually Use This SMA isn’t retail. Minimums, margin calls, and short books put it out of reach for most investors. But the underlying tax code is the same. Three legitimate moves for a taxable brokerage:
Harvest losses inside your regular brokerage. Realized losses offset realized gains dollar for dollar, and up to $3,000 of ordinary income each year, with the remainder carried forward. Mind the 30-day wash-sale rule. Prefer ETFs over mutual funds in taxable accounts. The in-kind creation and redemption mechanism lets ETFs shed low-basis lots without pushing capital gains distributions onto your 1099. Use the 0% long-term capital gains bracket in low-income years. Between retirement and RMDs, many households have a window to realize gains at a 0% federal rate. Pair that with step-up in basis at death for lots you never need to sell. That middle item is bigger than it looks. The quiet years between a last paycheck and the first required withdrawal may be the lowest tax rate a household ever sees again, and we sized up how to use that window in a free guide: The Roth Window.
Clients Piled In Anyway One Boston-based adviser to high-net-worth clients told Bloomberg that on hearing the Schwab news, some of his biggest clients feared increasingly draconian restrictions were coming, and their response was to add even more money to their tax-aware accounts at Schwab while they still could. Schwab, meanwhile, recently recruited for a new role leading its long-short SMA program with a salary as high as $269,900.
When two firms whose margin desks profit from a trade start restricting it, and the buyers respond by ordering more, the story stops being about taxes and starts being about crowding. For a retiree, this is a math conversation worth having with a fiduciary advisor or CPA, not a strategy to chase.

Akcie Coinbase v předobchodní fázi vyskočily o 8 % po obnovené podpoře Trumpovy administrativy pro CLARITY Act a prudkém oživení kryptoměn. Bitcoin se dostal nad 70 000 USD.
Coinbase shares surged 8% in premarket trading Thursday as a sharp rebound in cryptocurrency prices combined with renewed support from the Trump administration for industry regulation.
The move came after President Donald Trump met with senior cryptocurrency executives at the White House, including Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong, and called on Congress to pass the CLARITY Act.
The rally also followed the US Treasury Department’s decision to expand buyback operations for longer-dated government securities in an attempt to support market liquidity and ease rising borrowing costs.
At the same time, a wave of forced liquidations across the crypto market intensified the rally.
Bitcoin climbed above $70,000 for the first time since early June, while several major altcoins posted even larger gains.
The combination gave crypto-related equities a fresh boost after a period of weakness, with Coinbase emerging as one of the biggest beneficiaries because of its direct exposure to trading activity and digital-asset prices.
Strategy, Bitmine Immersion Technology, Circle all gained.
“The move towards $70,000, triggered by short-covering, suggests buyers are regaining confidence, although the rally now faces a crucial test of whether it can sustain momentum and challenge the $75,000 region,” said Axel Rudolph, chief technical analyst at investing and trading platform IG.
Trump's meeting with crypto executives provided an important policy catalyst for the crypto trade.
The CLARITY Act is designed to establish clearer definitions for digital assets, including determining which tokens should be classified as securities and which should be treated as commodities.
It would also clarify the respective regulatory roles of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission.
For crypto businesses such as Coinbase, the legislation could reduce one of the industry's biggest challenges: uncertainty over which rules apply to different digital assets.
Trump urged lawmakers to advance what he described as a "fair version of the Clarity Act", as the legislation remains stalled in the Senate with limited time remaining on the congressional calendar.
"Now we need Congress to take the next step by passing the Clarity Act — fair version of the Clarity Act," Trump said in remarks at the event.
Armstrong has separately forecast a bipartisan congressional vote on the legislation on September 15, 2026.
He has suggested that passage could help set the stage for another crypto market rally in October.
Several other industry executives attended the White House event, including Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev, Kraken co-CEO Arjun Sethi and Intercontinental Exchange CEO Jeffrey Sprecher.
SEC Chair Paul Atkins, CFTC Chair Mike Selig and White House crypto adviser Patrick Witt also participated.
According to CoinGlass data, about $3.3 billion in leveraged cryptocurrency positions were liquidated over a 24-hour period.
Short positions accounted for approximately $3 billion of those liquidations.
Bitcoin and Ethereum accounted for much of the activity, with about $1.15 billion and $1.73 billion of positions liquidated.
The forced unwinding of bearish bets can accelerate price increases because traders whose positions move against them are required to buy assets to close their trades.
Those purchases can push prices higher and trigger further liquidations.
Bitcoin's move above $70,000 therefore became an important psychological milestone for the market, potentially encouraging additional institutional and retail participation.
But Bitcoin was not the strongest performer among major cryptocurrencies.
Ethereum rose nearly 20% over 24 hours to about $2,200, according to CoinGecko.
XRP climbed more than 15%, while Solana gained more than 13%.
The scale of the liquidation event made it the largest of 2026 and the third-largest crypto liquidation event over the past year, according to the data provided.
The White House summit came as US regulators also move toward clearer rules for digital assets.
The SEC on Tuesday proposed long-awaited rules that would exempt certain token offerings from securities regulations, potentially making it easier for crypto companies to issue tokens and raise capital.
The CFTC is also scheduled to discuss cryptocurrency regulation at an industry gathering on Thursday.
That regulatory activity could prove particularly important for Coinbase, which has repeatedly argued that clearer rules would allow crypto companies to operate with greater certainty in the US.
The exchange's fortunes are closely tied to trading activity across the cryptocurrency market, meaning stronger prices and higher transaction volumes can improve investor expectations for its revenue.
However, the CLARITY Act has not yet passed Congress, meaning the regulatory catalyst remains dependent on lawmakers reaching an agreement.
For now, investors are betting on a combination of stronger crypto prices, forced short covering and the possibility of a more supportive regulatory framework.

These tax losses are available to be carried forward against future taxable income. Deferred tax assets relating to tax losses and temporary differences are recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences or tax losses can be utilised.
(2) Adjusted operating profit and adjusted net profit are defined as operating profit and profit for the period attributable to the equity holders of the Company adjusted by adding back equity-settled share-based payments as appropriate. For details of the reconciliation of the operating profit and the profit for the period attributable to the equity holders of the Company to the adjusted operating profit and the adjusted net profit of our Group, see the section headed "Financial Review" below.
First Half 2026 Key Financial Highlights
Revenue was RMB4.0 billion, an increase of 3.4% compared with RMB3.8 billion for the same period of 2025. Online music services: Revenue from online music services was RMB3.1 billion, an increase of 3.4% compared with RMB3.0 billion for the same period of 2025. Revenue from sales of membership subscriptions increased to RMB2.6 billion from RMB2.5 billion for the same period of 2025.

Gross profit was RMB1.5 billion, a slightly increase of 5.9% compared with RMB1.4 billion for the same period of 2025. Gross margin improved to 37.2% from 36.4% for the same period of 2025. This was primarily due to increased revenue from our online music services. Operating profit was RMB746.2 million, compared with RMB844.5 million for the same period of 2025. This was primarily due to the increase in promotion and advertising expenses to enhance brand awareness and user acquisition. Adjusted operating profit was RMB796.7 million, compared with RMB905.4 million for the same period of 2025. Net profit reached RMB809.2 million, compared with net profit of RMB1,882.1 million for the same period of 2025. Adjusted net profit reached RMB859.7 million, compared with adjusted net profit of RMB1,946.4 million for the same period of 2025. The decrease was primarily due to the deferred tax credit of RMB849.4 million for the six months ended 30 June 2025 arising from the initial recognition of deferred tax assets in respect of cumulative tax losses, as these losses were utilised against taxable profits in the current period. Business Overview
We began 2026 by further strengthening our core online music business, prioritising exceptional user experiences, distinctive content and our vibrant music community to support healthy, steady growth. We continued to diversify our content offerings, improve personalised recommendations and innovate product features, enhance the platform's aesthetic and emotional appeal and boost community engagement, while enriching our membership benefits. Our platform continues to be widely recognized by music enthusiasts, demonstrating steady improvement in user engagement and loyalty. These enhancements reinforce NetEase Cloud Music's distinctive community ecosystem and brand perception, underscoring the platform's inherent value and long-term sustainable growth potential.
We continued to strengthen our music-centric community ecosystem, with enhancements to the user experience and strong brand perception driving higher user engagement and thus a larger daily active user base in the first half of 2026. Our DAU/MAU ratio remained above 30%, increasing both year-over-year and sequentially. The average daily mobile music listening time rose steadily, and community content consumption and interaction penetration rates also increased notably. In particular, we improved retention and renewal rates across our expanded membership base both year-over-year and sequentially, reflecting stronger user loyalty and connection to the platform. We remain dedicated to engaging young music lovers. Our distinctive music content and experiences, trendsetting aesthetics, and unique emotional appeal continue to drive positive word-of-mouth. We expanded our presence across devices and scenarios, including collaboration with NetEase Games, broadening with more channels to reach and engage young audiences.
We have built a diverse and distinctive content library by expanding copyrighted music and promoting original music. Earlier this year, we renewed partnerships with major labels such as Universal Music Group. We added content from Korean and Chinese labels, as well as OSTs and variety show music, and enhanced our signature genres. Notably, original artist Gareth.T's new song "Glass" (《玻璃》) achieved industry-leading streaming performance on our platform, highlighting strong user affinity for our core genres. We also deepened our collaboration with labels to optimise content distribution and co-create value. In parallel, we remained committed to promoting original Chinese music, with recent in-house releases such as "12.31" earning widespread acclaim. Our unique ecosystem of independent artists continues to grow, offering expanded avenues for music creation and promotion.
In terms of products, we remained focused on user needs, advancing innovation across music discovery and consumption experiences while revitalizing community engagement. In the first half of 2026, we further refined our new product framework, making music exploration more intuitive and engaging. We further upgraded our self-developed AI generative recommendation model, Climber, and launched innovative functions, such as "AI-inspired Playlist" (AI靈感歌單), to address users' diverse music discovery preferences. We also innovated features such as several new player interfaces and the MV playback entrance on the vinyl player page, enriching users' audio-visual music journey. Meanwhile, we further boosted community interaction by upgrading the "Listen Together" (一起聽) feature, launching voice comments and enhancing our image- and text-based community ecosystem.
In the first half of 2026, our subscription-based membership revenue sustained steady growth, driven by an expanded subscriber base, though partially offset by monthly ARPPU (average revenue per paying user) dilution due to changes in the subscriber mix. We further refined our membership benefits built around content, features, dress-up privileges, as well as artist-related offerings. In addition to premium content, we offer more distinctive emotional experiences and innovative ways for users to interact. These enhancements supported both users' willingness to pay for premium experiences and membership retention.
Looking ahead, we will remain committed to enhancing the music experience and deepening user engagement across our platform by expanding high-quality content offerings, advancing product and feature innovation, and further strengthening our community. Our strategic priorities include the following initiatives:
Further diversifying and enhancing our differentiated content offerings, with greater efficiency. We plan to deepen collaborations with copyright holders and strengthen our independent artist incubation and in-house music production capabilities, focusing on our signature music genres; Optimising music listening experiences and recommendation features to meet users' needs and deliver ultimate music experience; Nurturing our music-oriented community ecosystem and exploring innovative inter-person interaction via enhancements to our comprehensive product offerings, including broadening communicative scenarios and ecology; Cultivating our users' willingness to pay and subscribe to premium offerings by improving user experience, deepening user engagement, enhancing membership privileges and broadening consumption scenarios; and Improving profitability through continued cost optimisation, operating efficiency enhancement and disciplined cost control. Diverse and differentiated content ecosystem
We are committed to expanding our distinctive content library by further diversifying our content mix across both licensed tracks and original music. We actively promote original Chinese music by supporting independent artists and developing in-house music. At the same time, we continue to advance music genres that resonate strongly with our users, including hip-hop and Western music.
Enhancing partnerships with copyright holders
Throughout the Reporting Period, we further strengthened our copyrighted content ecosystem, maintaining a disciplined and collaborative approach to renew major labels, expand offerings particularly in signature genres and deepen collaborations with artists.
Expansive catalogue of music labels. In the first half of 2026, we continued to enrich our copyrighted music catalogue by renewing strategic partnerships with major record labels such as Universal Music Group, Warner Music and CJ Entertainment, and added extensive Chinese content from partners such as Forward Music (豐華唱片), as well as K-Pop titles from labels including DSP Media. As a result, our library now features a wider selection of hit tracks from artists including Faye Wong (王菲), YOUNG POSSE, Lee Hyori and LNGSHOT. We also expanded our OST offerings by incorporating TVB drama soundtracks and music from several popular variety shows. Amplifying offerings in signature music genres. We further enriched our music library with high-quality selections across our signature genres such as hip-hop and Western music. These included the latest releases from hip-hop artists such as BENZO (李大奔), Melo, Boss Shady (謝帝), and emerging artists including Echo, Chun (春), and BroFA. We also expanded audience engagement across these genres through targeted artist initiatives, including offline events for BENZO's (李大奔's) new album "MODEL" and artist IP-themed virtual outfits. Furthermore, we advanced our copyright collaborations with popular Western artists such as Madilyn Bailey, DEMXNTIA, and Emma Stevens. In-depth collaborations with copyright partners. We deepened our cooperation with music labels and fostered mutual value creation through tailored campaigns designed to expand the reach and engagement of new releases. Gareth.T's new song "Glass" (《玻璃》) surpassed 100 million cumulative plays on NetEase Cloud Music, demonstrating strong user affinity for our signature genres such as R&B. For Western artists, we collaborated with Bruno Mars on an exclusive badge campaign tied to album listening, complemented by offline events, generating over 15 million streams. Also, our comprehensive campaign supporting Kanye West's album launch generated nearly 20 million total streams. Online and offline artist-centric activities. We worked closely with labels and artists to deliver artist-centric campaigns both online and offline, engaging younger audiences. During the period, we launched a series of integrated online and offline events centered around the Mayday anniversary, Hua Chenyu's (華晨宇's) birthday, Chris Lee's (李宇春's) concert tour, BENZO's (李大奔's) new album release, among others. We also promoted ticketing collaborations for MAMAMOO's 12th-anniversary tour, providing fans with a premium ticketing experience while supporting SVIP membership conversions. Additionally, we rolled out the innovative "Lyric Stamp" (歌詞郵票) feature, introducing 16 themed sets tailored to different contexts and scenarios, and upgraded our "Listen Together" (一起聽) function with artist participation. Strengthening our leading independent artists' ecosystem
Beyond licensed content, we continued to strengthen our independent artist ecosystem, supported by initiatives covering creation, distribution and commercial opportunities. By the end of June 2026, more than 1.25 million registered independent artists had contributed over 7.3 million tracks to our platform.
Supporting musicians in content creation.Through collaborations with original musicians and deeper integration with NetEase Games IPs, we connect original music creation with the gaming ecosystem. These efforts have produced several hit tracks, including "For the Next Goal" (《為下一球》), a World Cup-themed song by rapper Wang Yitai (王以太) for eFootball. Enhancing musician visibility and commercial opportunities. We advanced the NetEase Cloud Music Original Campus Tour, launching in April at Nanjing Agricultural University and hosting a graduation event in June at Guizhou Normal University, connecting artists directly with student audiences. We expanded commercial exposure for independent artists through collaboration with brands and IPs. Through partnership with the "HOPICO Music Awards," we created more opportunities for our independent musicians to perform at popular music festivals. Via the special collaboration series with JD, we co-created three concerts across different cities and musical genres, featuring artists including Jude Chiu (裘德), Vanessa Jin (金玟岐) and Orange Ocean (橘子海樂隊). Developing and promoting differentiated in-house music
Our in-house studios focus on producing distinctive, high-quality original music content to enrich our content matrix. In the first half of 2026, they successfully produced and popularised multiple hit songs that gained traction both across our community and on external platforms, such as "12.31".
Diversified audio-based content offerings
In addition to music, we expanded our audio offerings to cater to users' diverse interests. In the first half of 2026, our growing audio content library drove increased user consumption, with average listening time per user continuing to rise steadily.
PGC – audiobooks & radio dramas. We continued to expand our audiobook offerings by adding top-tier IP titles such as《斗羅大陸》and《元始法則》, alongside bestsellers like Mo Yan's (莫言's) new novel "People! !《人吶》," and the children's story "《貓平安逆襲傳奇》." Our in-house audiobooks like《靈境行者》have also become new hits on our platform. In terms of content cooperation, we have established stable partnerships with leading domestic copyright organizations – including Tomato Novel, and COL Group – consistently advancing our audiobook business toward higher quality and excellence. PUGC/UGC – podcast. Our podcast offerings focused on music-themed audio content and cultural podcast IPs, introducing over ten new podcast programs in the first half of 2026. We have partnered with Shan Jixiang (單霽翔) for his debut personal podcast "100 Events in the Century of the Palace Museum" (《故宮博物院百年百事》). We have also collaborated with musicians Li Runqi (李潤祺) and Si Nan (司南), as well as the well-known Japanese artist KOKIA, to produce music-themed podcasts. Additionally, we've welcomed hosts Chen Xiaonan (陳曉楠) and Li Sisi (李思思), author Liu Tong (劉同), and philosophy professor Chen Guo (陳果) to lead various podcast series. Furthermore, we launched a dedicated video podcast segment titled "Live Dialogues" (對話現場), featuring 13 high-quality video programs from labels such as "Midnightalks" (大內密談) and Story FM. Product innovation and community ecosystem
In the first half of 2026, we advanced personalised music discovery and listening experiences, introduced new AI-powered capabilities and expanded opportunities for users to interact around music, keeping our community vibrant. These enhancements improved user engagement, increased in-app music listening time, and drove greater user participation in community content, further deepening engagement across our platform.
Optimising users' music discovery and consumption experience
We continued to advance personalised recommendations and innovative features to make music discovery and listening more intuitive, personalised and engaging. In the first half of 2026, we introduced new features that give users more choices and better control over how they find, experience and interact with music.
Music content discovery and distribution. We are dedicated to providing users with a precise and personalised music journey. During the Reporting Period, we further refined the new framework within the NetEase Cloud Music App and expanded our AI-powered recommendation capabilities. The updated "Heartbeat Mode" (心動模式) page now displays the rationale behind song recommendations, providing users with greater context around personalised suggestions. We also upgraded Climber, our self-developed AI generative recommendation model, and introduced new, AI-powered music discovery features. For example, the AI-inspired playlist feature enables users to quickly generate custom algorithmic playlists, catering to diverse user needs. Enhancing the music consumption experience. We continued to broaden the ways users can personalise and experience music through new innovative audio-visual features. We launched several new player interfaces to drive consumption including the customisable "Diamond Player style" (鑽石播放器樣式), which features extensive DIY customisation options and has gained broad user adoption. We also promoted the "Full-Screen Cover" (全屏封面) player on the Heartbeat page and added direct access to music videos on the Vinyl Player page, offering a more immersive audio-visual experience. In addition, we introduced a series of AI-powered functions designed to create more personalised and emotionally engaging experiences, including the "AI Mood Tuner" (AI 情緒調音師) & "Mood Player" (情緒播放器), "AI Pet Player" (AI 寵物播放器), and "AIGC Personal Profile Backgrounds" (AIGC 個人主頁背景).

In addition, these non-IFRS financial measures may be defined differently from similar terms used by other companies, and may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures used by other companies.

Key Headlines Impacting Applied Materials Here are the key news stories impacting Applied Materials this week:
Positive Sentiment: Applied Materials was included in Zacks’ Rank #1 (Strong Buy) momentum list, reflecting continued favorable technical and fundamental sentiment after its substantial 2026 rally. Best Momentum Stock to Buy for August 19th Positive Sentiment: An analyst upgrade recently supported AMAT, while longer-term bullish arguments point to AI-driven semiconductor demand, a broad equipment portfolio and strong international revenue opportunities. Applied Materials Trading Higher Following Analyst Upgrade Neutral Sentiment: Applied Materials had surged about 98% in 2026 and 31% over three months, making it a major beneficiary of the AI-capital-spending trade but also leaving the stock vulnerable to profit-taking and shifts in expectations. Applied Materials Rockets 98% in 2026 Neutral Sentiment: Analysts remain constructive on AI-related growth and semiconductor demand, but AMAT’s premium valuation requires continued execution and strong forecasts to justify further gains. Should You Buy, Sell or Hold AMAT Stock Negative Sentiment: The immediate pressure is concentrated across chip-equipment names, including Applied Materials, Lam Research and Teradyne. Because the broader market is rising while the group sells off, investors appear concerned about the durability or timing of AI-related capital expenditures rather than interest rates alone. What Is Prompting the Selloff in Chip Equipment Stocks?

Pumitamig plus B7H3-targeting elfetabart drozuntecan delivers the first data in lung cancer for any PD-(L)1xVEGF bispecific immunomodulator combined with an antibody-drug conjugate, underscoring BioNTech’s leadership in novel-novel combination treatment strategiesUpdated overall survival data for gotistobart from the PRESERVE-003 Phase 3 clinical trial will add to the growing body of evidence for this chemotherapy-free treatment approach in the second- and later-line treatment of advanced squamous non-small cell lung cancer following prior immunotherapyBioNTech is advancing a diversified development program in lung cancer treatment spanning more than 16 ongoing clinical trials across subtypes, biomarkers and treatment settings, including five ongoing Phase 3 clinical trials and two novel-novel combination trials MAINZ, Germany, August 20, 2026 – BioNTech SE (Nasdaq: BNTX, “BioNTech” or “the Company”) will present new clinical data from its diversified development program in lung cancer treatment at the IASLC 2026 World Conference on Lung Cancer (“WCLC”) in Seoul, Republic of Korea, from September 12-15, 2026.
The breadth of data highlights the latest progress across key strategic assets, pumitamig (BNT327/BMS986545) and gotistobart (BNT316/ONC-392), as well as BioNTech’s mRNA-based immunotherapy approaches, highlighting the strength of BioNTech’s lung cancer treatment pipeline. Additionally, a late breaking oral presentation will detail data from the novel-novel combination trial of pumitamig with the investigational B7H3-targeted antibody-drug conjugate (“ADC”) elfetabart drozuntecan (elfe-D or BNT324/DB-1311), representing the first combination data for any PD-(L)1xVEGF bispecific immunomodulator and an ADC in lung cancer.
“Progress in lung cancer care means both improving treatment outcomes for patients and, importantly, finding better options for more patients who still do not sufficiently benefit from current standard therapies,” said Prof. Özlem Türeci, M.D., Co-Founder and Chief Medical Officer at BioNTech. “The data we are presenting at this year’s WCLC provide further clinical evidence for our late-stage assets, gotistobart and pumitamig, and help to define the role of next-generation immunomodulators in addressing unmet medical needs in lung cancer. We are also presenting the first clinical evidence from a novel-novel treatment combination in lung cancer as part of our evaluation of pumitamig as a potential backbone for combination strategies of complementary mechanisms. Taken together, these data will inform the next steps in our clinical development programs and our broader efforts to expand treatment options for patients.”
Highlights from BioNTech’s presentations at WCLC 2026:
Novel-novel combination trial of pumitamig, developed in collaboration with Bristol Myers Squibb Company (“BMS”), and elfetabart drozuntecan, developed in collaboration with Duality Biologics (Suzhou) Co. Ltd. (“DualityBio”):
Advanced/metastatic SCLC and NSCLC: First data from the global Phase 1/2 trial (NCT06892548) evaluating pumitamig in combination with the B7H3-targeting ADC elfetabart drozuntecan in patients with advanced or metastatic small cell lung cancer (“SCLC”) and NSCLC will be presented for this novel-novel treatment combination approach, underlining BioNTech’s leadership in novel-novel combination treatment strategies. Gotistobart – a tumor microenvironment-selective regulatory T cell depletion candidate targeting CTLA-4, developed in collaboration with OncoC4, Inc. (“OncoC4”):
2L+ squamous NSCLC: Updated overall survival data from stage 1 of the PRESERVE-003 Phase 3 clinical trial (NCT05671510) of gotistobart in patients with squamous non-small cell lung cancer (“NSCLC”) who progressed on prior PD-(L)1 inhibitor treatment will be presented. The results further contribute to the growing body of evidence for this chemotherapy-free treatment approach. The pivotal stage 2 part of the trial is ongoing. All abstracts are available through the WCLC website. Further information on BioNTech’s lung cancer pipeline can be accessed here.

Forward-looking statements include information concerning our possible or assumed future results of operations, business strategies, technology or product developments, financing and investment plans, dividend policy, competitive position, industry and regulatory environment, including potential regulatory reform related to energy credits, uncertainty relating to the implementation of tariffs and changes in trade policy, including the reduction or elimination of certain government incentives, ability to provide 100% domestic content trackers, expectations regarding the macroeconomic environment and geopolitical developments, including the effects of tariffs and changes in trade policy, potential growth opportunities and the effects of competition. Forward-looking statements include statements that are not historical facts and can be identified by terms such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “seek,” “should,” “will,” “would,” “positioned,” “designed to” or similar expressions and the negatives of those terms.
Our actual results and the timing of events could materially differ from those anticipated in such forward-looking statements as a result of certain risks, uncertainties and other factors, including without limitation: changes in growth or the rate of growth in demand for solar energy projects; factors outside of our control affecting the variability and demand for solar energy, including but not limited to, the retail price of electricity, availability of in-demand components like high-voltage breakers, various policies related to the permitting and interconnection costs of solar plants, and the availability of incentives for solar energy and solar energy production systems, which makes it difficult to predict our future prospects; competitive pressures within our industry; competition from conventional and renewable energy sources; a loss of one or more of our significant customers, their inability to perform under their contracts, or their default in payment; a drop in the price of electricity derived from the utility grid or from alternative energy sources; fluctuations in our results of operations across fiscal periods, which could make our future performance difficult to predict and could cause our results of operations for a particular period to fall below expectations; any increase in interest rates, or a reduction in the availability of tax equity or project debt capital in the global financial markets, which could make it difficult for customers to finance the cost of a solar energy system and reduce the demand for our products; existing electric utility industry policies and regulations, and any subsequent changes or new related policies and regulations, including as a result of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, which may present technical, regulatory and economic barriers to the purchase and use of solar energy systems and may significantly reduce demand for our products or harm our ability to compete; the interruption of the flow of materials from international vendors, which could disrupt our supply chain, including as a result of the imposition of new and/or additional duties, tariffs and other charges or restrictions on imports and exports; changes in the global trade environment, including the continuation or imposition of import tariffs or other import restrictions; geopolitical, macroeconomic and other market conditions unrelated to our operating performance including but not limited to a pandemic, the Russia-Ukraine war, attacks on shipping in the Red Sea and Strait of Hormuz, conflict in the Middle East (including, but not limited to, the war in Iran), changing trade policies, inflation and interest rates; our ability to convert our orders in backlog into revenue; the reduction, elimination or expiration, or our failure to optimize the benefits of government incentives for, or regulations mandating the use of, renewable energy and solar energy, particularly in relation to our competitors, which could reduce demand for solar energy systems; failure to, or incurrence of significant costs in order to, obtain, maintain, protect, defend or enforce, our intellectual property and other proprietary rights; delays in construction projects and any failure to manage our inventory; significant changes in the cost of raw materials; disruptions to transportation and logistics, including increases in shipping costs; defects or performance problems in our products, which could result in loss of customers, reputational damage and decreased revenue; delays, disruptions or quality control problems in our product development operations; the development, deployment and commercialization of new products, including DuraTrack D2STM, OmniTrack 2.0, the 60 degree variant of DuraTrack, and our ARRAY AtlasTM suite of foundation-to-tracker solutions; our ability to retain our key personnel or failure to attract additional qualified personnel; additional business, financial, regulatory and competitive risks due to our continued planned expansion into new markets; cybersecurity or other data incidents, including unauthorized disclosure of personal or sensitive data or theft of confidential information and the use of artificial intelligence by cyber threat actors; a failure to maintain an effective system of integrated internal controls over financial reporting, which may impair our ability to report our financial results accurately; our substantial indebtedness, risks related to actual or threatened public health epidemics, pandemics, outbreaks or crises; changes to laws and regulations, including changes to tax laws and regulations, that are applied adversely to us or our customers; our ability to complete the acquisition of Affordable Wire Management, LLC (“AWM”) on the anticipated terms and timetable, including the possibility that closing conditions may not be satisfied or waived; our ability to successfully integrate APA Solar, LLC (“APA”) and AWM into our existing operations, realize the anticipated benefits or synergies of the acquisitions of APA and AWM and achieve strategic and other objectives relating to the acquisitions; risks related to any unforeseen liabilities of AWM; and other factors listed and described in more detail in the section captioned “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, and our other documents on file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

The launch follows the partnership between Infobahn and Miro announced in July 2026, and supports TNL Mediagene's strategy to expand AI-powered services within its digital studio business
Tokyo, Japan--(Newsfile Corp. - August 20, 2026) - TNL Mediagene (NASDAQ: TNMG) (the "Company"), a technology and digital media company providing AI-driven advertising, marketing technology, content commerce, and data analytics solutions, today announced that its wholly owned subsidiary, Infobahn, has begun delivering an enterprise organizational design and human capital development service to clients in Japan, built on Miro's AI-powered visual workspace.
The service follows the partnership between Infobahn and Miro announced in July 2026. It applies Infobahn's cultivated design methods — including design thinking, service design, vision design, insight exploration, value structuring, and prototyping to verification and improvement — to Miro's AI-driven workspace, which features capabilities such as MCP* integration, multi-modal functions, real-time collaboration, and consensus-building spaces. Infobahn is a Japan-based digital studio under the Company's umbrella. With over 28 years of business operations spanning communication design and innovation design, it serves leading Japanese companies and multinational corporations as clients.
Following the previous partnership announcement with Miro, this expansion focuses on translating the collaboration into repeatable enterprise engagements that can be deployed across organizational design, talent development, and AI-enabled workflow transformation. The service is designed to help enterprise clients strengthen cross-functional alignment and accelerate practical decision-making. The Company's digital studio business is a strategic focus area and, as reported in the Company's Annual Report on Form 20-F for fiscal year 2025, represented its largest revenue segment. The Company began offering AI-powered services within this business in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2025.
"Enterprise transformation requires more than merely introducing generative AI tools into existing processes. It requires organizations to reconsider how teams collaborate, make decisions, develop talent, and translate strategy into execution," said Motoko Imada, Chief Executive Officer of TNL Mediagene. "By combining our established design expertise with AI-enabled visual collaboration, we intend to help our enterprise clients in Japan modernize their organizational workflows while maintaining a strong focus on practical implementation and measurable business outcomes."
"This initiative is a direct extension of the strategic direction we outlined for FY2026: increasing our focus on higher-value digital studio business and developing AI-powered offerings that complement our existing capabilities," said Joey Chung, President of TNL Mediagene. "By building on the experience within Infobahn and making those capabilities scalable, we aim to deepen enterprise client relationships in Japan."

EUR/USD v srpnu přidal 1,5 % a včera prorazil rezistenci na úrovni 1,1580, když slabší data z USA, klesající výnosy amerických dluhopisů a vyšší očekávání snížení sazeb Fedu tlačí euro výš.
The euro has surged thanks to growing expectations of U.S. Fed rate cuts, declining Treasury yields, and the ECB's cautious monetary policy guidance Overbought momentum indicators, unexpectedly high U.S. inflation, or renewed Eurozone growth worries could trigger profit-taking and push rates lower Should Eurozone growth slow, the ECB might shift to an easing policy. This would eliminate the rate-differential support that's currently boosting the euro The euro’s been gaining ground on the dollar. After climbing 0.95% in July, the EUR/USD pair added another 1.5% in August. Just yesterday, it broke past the 1.1580 resistance, ending the day up 0.88%.
This upward trend points to a change in forex market sentiment. Traders watching this cross can’t help but wonder what’s fueling the euro’s rally and what obstacles might appear.
Where Is the Euro Getting Its Fuel? The euro’s climb mostly comes from the European Central Bank (ECB) and Federal Reserve’s diverging monetary policies. Eurozone inflation, as measured by the Harmonized Index of Consumer Prices (HICP), hit 2.9%.
So, market participants expect an ECB interest rate hike at their September 10 meeting. Controlling inflation is the ECB’s main goal, a job made tougher by rising energy prices from Middle East geopolitical events.
Currently, markets are pricing in a 90% chance the ECB will raise rates by 25 basis points in September, pushing the rate to 2.50%. What’s more, better economic survey data from the Eurozone, like a stronger German ZEW index, hints at more stable regional conditions.
On the other hand, recent weaker U.S. economic data has lowered expectations for further Federal Reserve rate increases, signaling a weaker dollar. The July non-farm payrolls report missed forecasts, retail sales dropped, and inflation numbers came in lower than expected.
Consequently, the odds of a September Fed rate hike have fallen, with markets now giving about a 65% chance the Fed will hold rates steady.
Lower US Treasury yields are also weakening the dollar, partly because the Treasury Department announced it’ll buy more longer-term bonds starting in September.
EUR/USD Has Room to Run, But Watch the Data Technical analysis suggests the EUR/USD could climb, targeting 1.1750-1.1800. If prices hold above 1.1700, buyers might step in, driving the rate toward 1.1725 or even higher.
The short-term outlook looks good for the next few weeks, as long as support levels at 1.1600-1.1635 hold. But the quick price jump suggests the market might be getting overbought. That could mean some consolidation or small pullbacks.
Potential Setbacks Ahead A few things could slow the euro’s climb. For instance, if US inflation picks up again, or if employment and growth numbers come in stronger than expected, it might reignite expectations of Fed rate hikes. That would likely boost the dollar.
Another factor is ongoing geopolitical instability, particularly around US-Iran relations, along with high oil prices. These usually send investors to the dollar as a safe haven.
Over in Europe, weaker economic growth surveys or slowing inflation might dampen expectations for European Central Bank rate hikes. A big jump in longer-term US Treasury yields could also shrink the interest rate gap that’s been good for the euro.
What primarily drove EUR/USD higher in mid-August?
Softer US data reduced Fed hike odds while sticky euro-area inflation boosted expectations of an ECB rate increase in September.
What major risk could reverse the current EUR/USD trend?
A rebound in US economic data or escalating Middle East tensions that revive dollar demand and Fed-tightening expectations.
Could the ECB undermine the euro’s strength?
Yes. If eurozone growth weakens, the ECB could pivot toward easing, removing the rate-differential support currently favoring the euro
Westhaven oznámil, že vrt SNR26-117 v South Zone vrátil průsek o délce 10,04 m s 12,18 g/t Au a 103 g/t Ag a rozšířil mineralizaci pod nejhlubší navržené dobývací komory v PEA 2025.
Drill hole SNR26-117 returned 10.04m grading 12.18 g/t Au and 103 g/t Ag, extending high-grade gold and silver mineralization below the deepest mining stopes proposed in Westhaven’s 2025 preliminary economic assessment (“PEA”).
Drill hole SNR26-110 returned 37.34m grading 6.24 g/t Au and 55 g/t Ag, confirming thick, high-grade gold and silver mineralization at the southeastern margin of the deposit.
35,000m resource infill drilling program is >76% complete, with four active drills on the South Zone deposit
VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Aug. 20, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Westhaven Gold Corp. (TSX-V: WHN) (OTCQB: WTHVF) (FRA: 1W5) (“Westhaven” or the “Company”) is pleased to report the fifth batch of assay results from the ongoing 35,000m resource infill drilling program, presently supported by four drill rigs at the South Zone gold and silver deposit on the Shovelnose gold property in southern British Columbia.
Ken Armstrong, President and CEO of Westhaven, commented:
“This latest batch of assays from ongoing resource infill drilling includes two drill holes that confirm the presence of thick, high-grade gold and silver mineralization both below and at the southeastern margin of the South Zone deposit. Drill hole SNR26-117 is of particular importance as its 10m interval grading 12.18 g/t Au and 103 g/t Ag has extended mineralization below the deepest proposed mining stopes in Westhaven’s 2025 preliminary economic assessment. Similarly, SNR26-110, returning 37.34m grading 6.24 g/t Au and 55 g/t Ag, has confirmed thick, high-grade mineralization at the southeastern edge of the deposit. Follow up drilling is required in the vicinity of both of these holes where there is clearly potential to increase contained ounces in the South Zone deposit.”
Highlight results reported today include intersections of 37.34m grading 6.24 g/t Au and 55 g/t Ag (SNR26-110) in the southeastern part of the South Zone deposit, and 10.04m grading 12.18 g/t Au and 103 g/t Ag (SNR26-117) located below the proposed mine development in Westhaven’s 2025 PEA.
In addition to the infill resource drilling, the 2026 field program continues with exploration drilling and surface field work within the greater Shovelnose property area and is expected to continue through mid-December. This work is being funded under a strategic earn-in agreement with Dundee Corporation (“Dundee”), whereby Dundee may earn up to a 60% interest in Westhaven's four Spences Bridge Gold Belt properties through up to CDN$85,000,000 in staged project expenditures. Under the first phase, Dundee has committed a minimum of CDN$30,000,000, inclusive of a fully funded 50,000m resource infill and exploration drill program and ongoing pre-feasibility study (“PFS”) work at Shovelnose.
South Zone Mineral Resource Infill Drilling
Assay results from the ongoing 35,000m resource infill drilling program at the South Zone deposit continue to show excellent continuity of mineralization in each of Vein Zones 1, 2 and 3. Results have been received from an additional 6 infill drill holes and are reported in Table 1. Earlier assays from the 2026 infill drilling program can be found Westhaven news releases dated: May 7, linked here, May 26, linked here, July 7, linked here, and July 28, linked here. The resource drilling program has been designed to infill the deposit at nominal 25m centres with results to be included in an updated mineral resource estimate to support a PFS targeting completion in H2 2027. To date, 85 drill holes (26,581m) have been completed representing approximately three-quarters of the planned program metreage.
Table 1 shows assay results, including drill hole locations and orientations, and is also linked here. Reported assay intervals represent downhole intersections, not true widths. True widths can be estimated at approximately 70-80% of the reported intervals.
Figure 1 shows the locations of the drill holes reported in this news release, as well as the other holes completed in 2026, the planned 2026 drill collar locations and the drill collars of pre-2026 drilling of the South Zone.
Figure 2 presents a South Zone cross-section highlighting drill hole SNR26-117, and Figure 3 presents a South Zone cross-section highlighting drill hole SNR26-110. The sections are viewed to the northwest (310°) and illustrate strong continuity of mineralization hosted within structurally controlled quartz veins and hydrothermal breccia zones.
Sampling, Laboratory Analyses and Quality Assurance/Quality Control (QA/QC)
Most core samples consist of halved drill core cut by manual sawing using industry standard core saws. In rare cases, and where required by physical core conditions, manual splitting may be used. Half of the core is retained in the original core box for reference samples and any required future work, including QA/QC. Core samples, controlled by a unique bar-coded reference number, are delivered to ALS’s Kamloops facility and prepared using the PREP-31 package. Each core sample is crushed to better than 70% passing a 2mm (Tyler 9 mesh, US Std. No.10) screen. A split of 250g is taken and pulverized to better than 85% passing a 75-micron (Tyler 200 mesh, US Std. No. 200) screen.
Further analytical and assay procedures are conducted in ALS’s North Vancouver facility. A 0.75g subsample of the pulverized split is subjected to four acid digestion and analyzed via ICP-MS (method code ME-MS61m (+Hg)) which reports a suite of 49 elements.
All samples are also analyzed for gold by fire assay with an AES finish, method code Au-ICP21 (30g sample size) or Au-ICP22 (50g sample size). Samples returning gold values over 10ppm are subjected to over-limit check assays using fire assay and a gravimetric finish (method code Au-GRA21 and a 30g sample size, or Au-GRAV22 and a 50g sample size). The switch to 50g aliquots applies to 2026 resource infill drill holes starting at, and including, SNR26-98. Other over-limit elements may also be subjected to ore grade analyses which vary depending on the element of interest.
ALS’s facilities are accredited to the ISO/IEC 17025 standard for gold assays, and all analytical methods include quality control materials at set frequencies with established data acceptance criteria.
QA/QC incorporates the laboratory’s internal quality assurance controls as well as Westhaven’s field controls, including the insertion of quarter core duplicates, certified reference materials and blanks, each at a rate of roughly one per 20-25 core samples. Additional blanks are inserted following samples with visible gold or significant concentrations of ginguro (fine grained bands of dark gray to black sulphides).
QA/QC data are evaluated on receipt for failures, and appropriate action is taken if results for duplicates, standards and blanks fall outside allowed tolerances. Westhaven’s ongoing QA/QC programs are consistent with industry best practices and include auditing of all exploration data. Any significant changes will be reported when available.

As cybercriminals increasingly leverage AI to develop and evolve attack campaigns, defenders must respond with equal speed and precision.

This enables Corero to extend its position as the leader in fast and precise DDoS mitigation at the edge.
AI Cloud-Assist creates a continuous intelligence loop between Corero's cloud and on-premises SmartWall ONE deployments. AI analyzes attack telemetry, identifies emerging threats, and recommends protection policies, with Corero's security experts providing oversight. This approach helps organizations reduce response times, improve protection accuracy, and strengthen operational efficiency without removing the human element from security operations.
"Organizations depend on uninterrupted digital services to generate revenue, deliver customer experiences, and support critical operations," said Carl Herberger, CEO at Corero Network Security. "AI Cloud-Assist extends the power of SmartWall ONE, combining cloud-scale intelligence, human expertise, and edge-based mitigation to protect the services that matter most. This capability is largely missing in most DDoS solutions, and it is essential going forward. This is the future of DDoS protection."
Designed for AI data centers, NeoCloud providers, service providers, and digital enterprises, AI Cloud-Assist enhances Corero's ability to mitigate attacks at the network edge, close to the applications, services, and AI workloads being protected.
The result is smarter intelligence from the cloud, enhanced mitigation at the edge, and human expertise amplified by AI, delivering low-latency protection and increased cyber resiliency for modern digital infrastructure.

Alibaba v 1. fiskálním čtvrtletí 2027 snížila čistý zisk o více než 75 % na 10,5 miliardy jüanů kvůli vyšším investicím do AI. Tržby vzrostly o 9 % na 269 miliard jüanů, ale akcie v premarketu ztrácely kolem 4 %.
Výrazné navýšení investic do AI a související infrastruktury s sebou přineslo razantní pokles zisku. Čínská skupina Alibaba vykázala v prvním fiskálním čtvrtletí roku 2027 pokles čistého zisku o více než 75 procent na 10,5 miliardy jüanů. Zároveň došlo k významnému odlivu volného cash flow, který přesáhl 6,6 miliardy dolarů. Investoři na to reagovali negativně a akcie firmy kótované na burze ve Spojených ztrácí v premarketu kolem čtyř procent.
Tržby sice meziročně vzrostly o devět procent na 269 miliard juanů, což odpovídalo očekávání trhu, a cloudová divize těžila ze silné poptávky po výpočetním výkonu pro AI aplikace, investoři se ale očividně více zaměřili na náklady spojené s rozvojem tohoto segmentu, které výrazně zatížily hospodářské výsledky firmy.
Alibaba v letošním roce posílila své postavení mezi globálně významnými hráči v oblasti umělé inteligence. Její vlajkový model Qwen patří mezi nejpoužívanější AI systémy na světě a firma vynaložila desítky miliard dolarů na nákup čipů, výstavbu datových center i vývoj pokročilých autonomních AI aplikací.
Právě rychlé navyšování výdajů však začíná doléhat na profitabilitu společnosti. Vedle rostoucích nákladů se Alibaba musí nadále vyrovnávat také se slabší spotřebitelskou poptávkou v Číně, která negativně ovlivňuje její tradiční internetový obchod, podotýká agentura Bloomberg.
Generální ředitel Eddie Wu orientuje společnost čím dál více na cloudové a AI služby, které vnímá jako hlavní motor budoucího růstu. Zároveň Wu pokračuje v prodeji aktivit, které nepovažuje za strategické. Za poslední dva roky se tak Alibaba zbavila několika vedlejších podniků, naposledy herní divize Lingxi Games.
Wu už dříve uvedl, že rozvoj AI má přednost před krátkodobou ziskovostí. Firma proto plánuje pokračovat v investicích i nad rámec dříve oznámeného tříletého rozpočtu ve výši 380 miliard jüanů. Ambicí vedení je během příštích pěti let zvýšit příjmy z cloudových a AI služeb až na 100 miliard dolarů, informuje Bloomberg.
„Náskok Alibaby v oblasti umělé inteligence oproti konkurentům by měl být v roce 2027 snadněji kvantifikovatelný, pokud se udrží rostoucí návratnost investic do umělé inteligence. Uklidnění cenové války v oblasti doručovacích služeb by mělo zlepšit provozní cash flow, nicméně rekordní kapitálové výdaje by mohly velkou část zisků absorbovat, protože Alibaba buduje vše: od vlastní výroby čipů až po AI aplikace,“ uvedli analytici Bloomberg Inteligence Catherine Limová a Jason Zhu.
Další růst příjmů si chce Alibaba zajistit prostřednictvím placených AI služeb. Zaměřuje se především na programátorské nástroje a takzvané agentní platformy, kde se střetává s konkurencí v podobě Tencentu a ByteDance. Právě ByteDance již letos zavedla předplatné pro svou populární aplikaci Doubao, jež patří mezi nejrozšířenější AI produkty v Číně.
Kromě toho Alibaba rozvíjí vlastní aplikaci Qwen, jež funguje jako univerzální digitální asistent pro každodenní úkoly včetně nakupování nebo plateb. Jejím přímým konkurentem je AI agent od Tencentu, který je integrovaný do jeho platformy WeChat.

CZ říká, že jakákoli regulace pro Hyperliquid by prospěla celému sektoru decentralizovaného obchodování. Podle něj by jasná cesta pro perpetuální DEXy mohla otevřít americkým uživatelům další on-chain služby.
Binance co-founder Changpeng Zhao (CZ) has argued that any regulatory framework adopted to accommodate Hyperliquid would, by extension, benefit the entire decentralized trading sector, not just one platform.
"Policy cannot be applied to only one company/project," CZ said. "What's good for one is good for the rest of the industry."
A Rising Tide for Perp DEXsCZ's comments point to an opportunity that extends well beyond Hyperliquid. If US regulators carve out a clear pathway for decentralized perpetual futures platforms, more perp DEXs and on-chain services could become accessible to American users for the first time. Hyperliquid, the largest decentralized perpetual futures exchange by volume, is actively working to find a legally compliant way to serve US traders, though the platform currently geo-blocks American users.
The push comes after the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) took a significant step in late May 2026, That decision is widely seen as a potential turning point for the broader on-chain derivatives market.
CZ's Broader View on Decentralized TradingThe remarks reflect CZ's long-held view that decentralized venues will play an increasingly significant role in crypto markets. Zhao has previously predicted that perp DEXs will rival centralized exchange volumes within one market cycle. At the same time, he has been candid about the compliance risks that come with operating without KYC checks, drawing on his own experience navigating regulatory scrutiny at Binance.
CZ's public backing adds weight to that case, signaling that how Washington treats platforms like Hyperliquid has implications for the entire decentralized trading industry.

Total revenues increased 35.6% year-over-year to HK$7,200.2 million (US$918.2 million). Total gross profit increased 33.9% year-over-year to HK$6,214.8 million (US$792.5 million).Net income increased 41.6% year-over-year to HK$3,641.9 million (US$464.4 million). Non-GAAP adjusted net income⁴ increased 40.1% year-over-year to HK$3,725.1 million (US$475.0 million). Mr. Leaf Hua Li, Futu’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said, “In the second quarter, we added 252 thousand net new funded accounts, bringing total funded accounts to 3.8 million, up 33.6% year-over-year. Growth in funded accounts this quarter was supported by continued momentum across our international markets, reinforcing the diversification of our client base. Malaysia led new funded account additions for the third consecutive quarter. Hong Kong and Singapore followed as key contributors, with new client cohorts in both markets demonstrating stronger initial monetization compared with prior periods, a signal of ongoing quality improvement in our more established markets.”
“Total client assets were HK$1.40 trillion as of quarter end, up 43.6% year-over-year and 14.5% quarter-over-quarter. The growth was mainly attributable to higher market valuation of clients’ stock holdings, and to a lesser extent, net asset inflow. Margin financing and securities lending balance rose 30.5% quarter-over-quarter to HK$95.1 billion, driven by an active Hong Kong IPO market, alongside upbeat sentiment that fueled higher utilization of leverage.”
“Total trading volume reached a record HK$6.42 trillion, up 78.8% year-over-year and 54.6% quarter-over-quarter, supported by a meaningful acceleration in U.S. stock trading activity. U.S. stock trading volume rose 67.2% sequentially to HK$5.02 trillion, driven by heightened client interest in semiconductor and other AI value chain names. Hong Kong stock trading volume grew 15.9% quarter-over-quarter to HK$1.17 trillion, reflecting client engagement in semiconductor, China internet, and newly listed AI names.”
“Total client assets in wealth management increased 10.4% year-over-year and 1.0% quarter-over-quarter to HK$180.2 billion, primarily supported by growth in equity fund holdings amid strong global equity market performance. In Hong Kong, we added new global equity mutual funds to our platform and expanded thematic investor engagement around frontier areas such as the space economy. In Singapore, we further broadened our fund shelf with new local equity strategies aligned with the country's capital markets development priorities.”
“As of quarter end, we cumulatively served 683 IPO distribution and IR clients, up 32.1% year-over-year. Against a robust Hong Kong IPO backdrop, we provided investment banking services to nearly 60% of new listings during the quarter, including those of Star Sports Medicine, Lightelligence, and Metis TechBio.”
“In recent months, we made meaningful progress across our global franchise. In June, Moomoo launched Prediction Markets in the U.S., broadening the ways our clients can engage with financial markets and real-world developments, driving active client participation. Futu Securities also received SFC approval to launch a virtual asset financing service through our proprietary trading platform PantherTrade, further expanding our product runway within Hong Kong's evolving virtual asset framework. In July, we obtained a Type A license from the Thailand Securities and Exchange Commission, positioning us to launch Moomoo Thailand and further extend our footprint across Southeast Asia. Together, these developments deepen the product breadth and expand the geographic reach of our platform for global investors.”

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In evaluating the business, the Company considers and uses non-GAAP adjusted net income, a non-GAAP measure, as a supplemental measure to review and assess its operating performance. The presentation of the non-GAAP financial measure is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The Company defines non-GAAP adjusted net income as net income excluding share-based compensation expenses. The Company presents the non-GAAP financial measure because it is used by the management to evaluate the operating performance and formulate business plans. Non-GAAP adjusted net income enables the management to assess the Company's operating results without considering the impact of share-based compensation expenses, which are non-cash charges. The Company also believes that the use of the non-GAAP measure facilitates investors' assessment of its operating performance.
Non-GAAP adjusted net income is not defined under U.S. GAAP and is not presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. This non-GAAP financial measure has limitations as analytical tools. One of the key limitations of using non-GAAP adjusted net income is that it does not reflect all items of expense that affect the Company's operations. Share-based compensation expenses have been and may continue to be incurred in the business and is not reflected in the presentation of non-GAAP adjusted net income. Further, the non-GAAP measure may differ from the non-GAAP information used by other companies, including peer companies, and therefore their comparability may be limited.
The Company compensates for these limitations by reconciling the non-GAAP financial measure to the nearest U.S. GAAP performance measure, all of which should be considered when evaluating the Company's performance.
For more information on this non-GAAP financial measure, please see the table captioned "Unaudited Reconciliations of Non-GAAP and GAAP Results" set forth at the end of this press release.

Americké spotové Bitcoin ETF přilákaly ve středu čistý příliv 517,19 milionu USD, nejvíce za jeden den od 4. května. BlackRock IBIT vedl s 284,7 milionu USD, zatímco Bitcoin poprvé za dva měsíce překonal hranici 69 000 USD.
Spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds in the United States drew $517.19 million in net inflows on Wednesday, marking the strongest single-day surge since May 4. The increase came as Bitcoin’s price surpassed $69,000 for the first time in two months, underscoring a notable resurgence in institutional investor activity.
BlackRock’s IBIT dominates ETF inflowsBlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) accounted for $284.7 million of the total inflow, maintaining a significant lead over competitors. ARK 21Shares’ ARKB followed with $77.7 million, while Fidelity’s FBTC captured $62.4 million during the same session. Eight out of twelve registered funds posted positive inflows, reflecting broad participation and renewed confidence in regulated crypto investment vehicles.
SoSoValue data indicated that this was the largest daily intake for U.S. spot Bitcoin funds in over three months, helping push their combined net assets to $84.31 billion. This total equals around 6.08% of Bitcoin’s overall market capitalization. Cumulative ETF inflows now stand at $52.79 billion, with IBIT alone responsible for more than half of Wednesday’s intake.
The distribution of inflows across multiple funds, rather than being concentrated in a single product, has been described by analysts as a positive signal of institutional demand within the sector. Recent analysis by VanEck revealed that the 30-day net inflow reached $663 million, recovering much of the $2.4 billion in outflows experienced the previous month. Wednesday’s allocation represented nearly 78% of that 30-day total, altering the prevailing narrative on demand for U.S. crypto ETFs.
Prior months had been characterized by withdrawals throughout May and June, with client flows turning more erratic through July and early August. The renewed inflows indicate that institutional investors are returning when liquidity improves. Rachael Lucas, representing BTC Markets, described the purchases as a move geared toward longer-term positioning by investors operating under formal compliance structures rather than short-lived retail speculation.
VanEck’s recent analysis pointed out that almost 78% of the prior 30-day ETF inflow was matched in a single day, signaling a swift change in institutional sentiment following a drawn-out period of withdrawals.
Treasury actions and regulatory shifts support risk appetiteThe ETF inflows coincided with a rally that accelerated after the U.S. Treasury announced it would double the cap on its long-end bond buybacks from $2 billion to at least $4 billion per operation. This program, targeting 10-to-30 year maturities, will run from September 9 through November 4, the end of the refunding quarter. The Treasury cited robust market offers as a reason for the increase and intends to review sizing after November.
Bond yields declined on the announcement, the dollar weakened, and risk assets rallied. Jeff Mei of BTSE suggested that the Treasury’s policy shift sparked renewed risk appetite, fueling both ETF inflows and the cryptocurrency’s price strength.
On the regulatory front, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission unveiled proposals introducing new exemptions for crypto investment contracts. The updates would allow offerings up to $5 million over four years or up to $75 million per year, accompanied by additional disclosure requirements. Market analysts noted that these measures may further support institutional participation.
Technical and structural shifts shape Bitcoin’s outlookTechnically, Bitcoin’s price reached $69,892 before trading around $69,514, near its 200-day trend zone and at the midpoint of its broader $60,000 to $80,000 range. Analyst Daan Crypto Trades observed that Bitcoin generated a new higher high while testing its critical 200-day moving average and exponential moving average. This region remains closely watched for signs of whether upward momentum could carry BTC past $70,000 in the coming sessions.
Daan Crypto Trades explained that Bitcoin’s trend remains upward after retracing much of June’s sharp decline, but the asset is now positioned in the center of its established range, and several key technical levels remain in play.
Expectations are for continued volatility as the market navigates ongoing resistance. Sustained closes above the moving average area would offer a stronger technical signal for further gains.
Against this backdrop, a significant transformation is underway as Wall Street increasingly shifts toward Web3. Investors have begun using platforms such as 1stepSwap to directly hold tokenized shares of leading U.S. companies, as well as gold and silver, in their crypto wallets. By tokenizing real-world assets and automatically searching for the best available prices, these platforms eliminate intermediaries and enable near-instant execution.
The combination of ETF inflows, government policy actions, regulatory adaptation, and technological innovation is shaping a new landscape for crypto and traditional asset markets alike.

XRP vzrostl téměř o 10 % na zhruba 1,09 USD po setkání Brada Garlinghouse s Donaldem Trumpem a dalšími lídry krypta v Bílém domě. Trh podpořily i nové přílivy do spotových XRP ETF ve výši 5,81 milionu USD.
Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse joined President Donald Trump, SEC Chair Paul Atkins, CFTC Chair Michael Selig, Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong and other crypto industry leaders at the White House, where the focus was on clearer crypto rules, U.S. innovation and the next steps for the CLARITY Act. The meeting came as XRP was recovering from the $1 area, with the fresh regulatory movement helping improve sentiment around the token.
Brad Garlinghouse: “Crypto Isn’t a Fringe Industry”Garlinghouse mentioned the growing size of the U.S. crypto market, saying 67 million Americans now hold crypto, or nearly one in four people. He said crypto has moved well beyond being a niche industry and that Washington can no longer ignore its growing user base.
He also praised Trump’s focus on digital-asset innovation, saying the administration’s commitment could create a brighter future for the industry.
For XRP, the broader thing is that Ripple has been pushing for clearer U.S. rules for years. Greater regulatory certainty could make it easier for crypto companies and financial institutions to build and operate in the country.
Trump Puts the CLARITY Act in FocusTrump called on Congress to pass a fair version of the legislation, arguing that it could open the door to the next wave of innovation.
Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong called the September 15 CLARITY Act vote the most important next step. He said the administration, SEC and CFTC are aligned and that the crypto industry is ready to move the legislation forward.
The bill is still not law, so its progress through the Senate remains an important factor for the market.
SEC Chair Paul Atkins said the regulator is working toward making the U.S. a stronger home for crypto innovation. He pointed to the SEC’s proposed crypto-assets rules, which he said could provide companies with more certainty when raising capital through digital assets.
Atkins also backed the goal of sending the CLARITY Act to Trump for approval, connecting crypto regulation with the broader effort to boost U.S. financial markets and bring more investors into the system.
XRP Price JumpsXRP climbed nearly 10% to around $1.09, breaking above the $1.08 level after spending several days near $1. The next level to watch is around $1.14, with a sustained move above it potentially opening the way toward $1.20. If the rally loses momentum, $1.08 could become an important support level.

— Diana (@InvestWithD) August 19, 2026 The price move was also supported by renewed XRP ETF demand. Spot XRP ETFs recorded $5.81 million in inflows on August 18, their strongest single-day inflow since July 31, after seeing no activity on Monday. The five ETFs now collectively hold about 1.5% of XRP’s current supply.
