Why: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, announces a class action lawsuit on behalf of purchasers of common stock of Badger Meter, Inc. (NYSE: BMI) between April 18, 2024 and April 16, 2026, inclusive (the "Class Period"). A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than August 3, 2026.

So what: If you purchased Badger Meter common stock during the Class Period you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement.

What to do next: To join the Badger Meter class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/cases/badger-meter-inc/join or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email [email protected] for information on the class action. A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than August 3, 2026. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation.

Why Rosen Law: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources, or any meaningful peer recognition. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm has achieved, at that time, the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs' Bar. Many of the firm's attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers.

Details of the case: According to the lawsuit, throughout the Class Period, defendants made materially false and misleading statements concerning the drivers of Badger Meter's "record" financial results, demand for Badger Meter's products, and its prospects for continued growth. During the Class Period, defendants told investors that Badger Meter's strong financial results reflected "ongoing favorable industry trends," "secular growth drivers," and "solid operating execution." They likewise touted "strong" demand and said they were seeing "robust order pacing and a strong bid pipeline that positions us well for continued sales and earnings growth," and that Badger Meter possessed a "long runway" for growth.

According to the lawsuit, these statements were materially false and misleading. In truth, Badger Meter's financial results during the Class Period were at least partially attributable to Badger Meter's practice of pulling-forward customer orders to recognize revenue early, which concealed weakening demand and deteriorating near-term order trends. This practice also depleted revenue otherwise available for future periods, ultimately causing the disappointing financial results Badger Meter later reported. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages. 

To join the Badger Meter class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/cases/badger-meter-inc/join or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email [email protected] for information on the class action.

No Class Has Been Certified. Until a class is certified, you are not represented by counsel unless you retain one. You may select counsel of your choice. You may also remain an absent class member and do nothing at this point. An investor's ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff.

Teradyne (TER - Free Report) closed at $409.35 in the latest trading session, marking a -5.33% move from the prior day. The stock fell short of the S&P 500, which registered a loss of 0.57% for the day. Elsewhere, the Dow gained 0.64%, while the tech-heavy Nasdaq lost 1.15%.

The maker of wireless products, data storage and equipment to test semiconductors's stock has climbed by 34.69% in the past month, exceeding the Computer and Technology sector's gain of 2.85% and the S&P 500's gain of 2.14%.

Analysts and investors alike will be keeping a close eye on the performance of Teradyne in its upcoming earnings disclosure. On that day, Teradyne is projected to report earnings of $1.99 per share, which would represent year-over-year growth of 249.12%. Meanwhile, our latest consensus estimate is calling for revenue of $1.22 billion, up 86.43% from the prior-year quarter.

Looking at the full year, the Zacks Consensus Estimates suggest analysts are expecting earnings of $7.09 per share and revenue of $4.53 billion. These totals would mark changes of +79.04% and +42.08%, respectively, from last year.

Investors should also take note of any recent adjustments to analyst estimates for Teradyne. These revisions typically reflect the latest short-term business trends, which can change frequently. As a result, upbeat changes in estimates indicate analysts' favorable outlook on the business health and profitability.

Based on our research, we believe these estimate revisions are directly related to near-term stock moves. To take advantage of this, we've established the Zacks Rank, an exclusive model that considers these estimated changes and delivers an operational rating system.

The Zacks Rank system, which varies between #1 (Strong Buy) and #5 (Strong Sell), carries an impressive track record of exceeding expectations, confirmed by external audits, with stocks at #1 delivering an average annual return of +25% since 1988. Over the last 30 days, the Zacks Consensus EPS estimate has witnessed an unchanged state. Teradyne currently has a Zacks Rank of #1 (Strong Buy).

Investors should also note Teradyne's current valuation metrics, including its Forward P/E ratio of 60.99. Its industry sports an average Forward P/E of 30.05, so one might conclude that Teradyne is trading at a premium comparatively.

We can additionally observe that TER currently boasts a PEG ratio of 1.78. The PEG ratio is similar to the widely-used P/E ratio, but this metric also takes the company's expected earnings growth rate into account. As the market closed yesterday, the Electronics - Miscellaneous Products industry was having an average PEG ratio of 1.73.

The Electronics - Miscellaneous Products industry is part of the Computer and Technology sector. At present, this industry carries a Zacks Industry Rank of 61, placing it within the top 25% of over 250 industries.

The Zacks Industry Rank gauges the strength of our individual industry groups by measuring the average Zacks Rank of the individual stocks within the groups. Our research shows that the top 50% rated industries outperform the bottom half by a factor of 2 to 1.

Don't forget to use Zacks.com to keep track of all these stock-moving metrics, and others, in the upcoming trading sessions.

Taking full advantage of the stock market and investing with confidence are common goals for new and old investors, and Zacks Premium offers many different ways to do both.

The popular research service can help you become a smarter, more self-assured investor, giving you access to daily updates of the Zacks Rank and Zacks Industry Rank, the Zacks #1 Rank List, Equity Research reports, and Premium stock screens.

Zacks Premium also includes the Zacks Style Scores.

What are the Zacks Style Scores? The Zacks Style Scores, developed alongside the Zacks Rank, are complementary indicators that rate stocks based on three widely-followed investing methodologies; they also help investors pick stocks with the best chances of beating the market over the next 30 days.

Each stock is assigned a rating of A, B, C, D, or F based on their value, growth, and momentum characteristics. Just like in school, an A is better than a B, a B is better than a C, and so on -- that means the better the score, the better chance the stock will outperform.

The Style Scores are broken down into four categories:

Value ScoreFor value investors, it's all about finding good stocks at good prices, and discovering which companies are trading under their true value before the broader market catches on. The Value Style Score utilizes ratios like P/E, PEG, Price/Sales, Price/Cash Flow, and a host of other multiples to help pick out the most attractive and discounted stocks.

Growth ScoreGrowth investors, on the other hand, are more concerned with a company's financial strength and health, and its future outlook. The Growth Style Score examines things like projected and historic earnings, sales, and cash flow to find stocks that will experience sustainable growth over time.

Momentum ScoreMomentum trading is all about taking advantage of upward or downward trends in a stock's price or earnings outlook, and these investors live by the saying "the trend is your friend." The Momentum Style Score can pinpoint good times to build a position in a stock, using factors like one-week price change and the monthly percentage change in earnings estimates.

VGM ScoreWhat if you like to use all three types of investing? The VGM Score is a combination of all Style Scores, making it one of the most comprehensive indicators to use with the Zacks Rank. It rates each stock on their combined weighted styles, which helps narrow down the companies with the most attractive value, best growth forecast, and most promising momentum.

How Style Scores Work with the Zacks Rank The Zacks Rank is a proprietary stock-rating model that harnesses the power of earnings estimate revisions, or changes to a company's earnings expectations, to help investors build a successful portfolio.

#1 (Strong Buy) stocks have produced an unmatched +24% average annual return since 1988, which is more than double the S&P 500's performance over the same time frame. However, the Zacks Rank examines a ton of stocks, and there can be more than 200 companies with a Strong Buy rank, and another 600 with a #2 (Buy) rank, on any given day.

But it can feel overwhelming to pick the right stocks for you and your investing goals with over 800 top-rated stocks to choose from.

That's where the Style Scores come in.

To maximize your returns, you want to buy stocks with the highest probability of success. This means picking stocks with a Zacks Rank #1 or #2 that also have Style Scores of A or B. If you find yourself looking at stocks with a #3 (Hold) rank, make sure they have Scores of A or B as well to ensure as much upside potential as possible.

Since the Scores were created to work together with the Zacks Rank, the direction of a stock's earnings estimate revisions should be a key factor when choosing which stocks to buy.

Here's an example: a stock with a #4 (Sell) or #5 (Strong Sell) rating, even one with Style Scores of A and B, still has a downward-trending earnings outlook, and a bigger chance its share price will decrease too.

Thus, the more stocks you own with a #1 or #2 Rank and Scores of A or B, the better.

Stock to Watch: Sensata (ST - Free Report) Headquartered in Attleboro, MA, Sensata Technologies is a global industrial technology company that develops, manufactures and sells sensors and sensor-rich solutions as well as electrical protection components and systems.

ST is a #3 (Hold) on the Zacks Rank, with a VGM Score of A.

Additionally, the company could be a top pick for growth investors. ST has a Growth Style Score of B, forecasting year-over-year earnings growth of 9.1% for the current fiscal year.

For fiscal 2026, four analysts revised their earnings estimate upwards in the last 60 days, and the Zacks Consensus Estimate has increased $0.07 to $3.73 per share. ST boasts an average earnings surprise of +3.3%.

With a solid Zacks Rank and top-tier Growth and VGM Style Scores, ST should be on investors' short list.

Zacks Premium includes access to the Zacks Style Scores as well.

What are the Zacks Style Scores? Developed alongside the Zacks Rank, the Zacks Style Scores are a group of complementary indicators that help investors pick stocks with the best chances of beating the market over the next 30 days.

Each stock is given an alphabetic rating of A, B, C, D or F based on their value, growth, and momentum qualities. With this system, an A is better than a B, a B is better than a C, and so on, meaning the better the score, the better chance the stock will outperform.

The Style Scores are broken down into four categories:

Value ScoreFinding good stocks at good prices, and discovering which companies are trading under their true value, are what value investors like to focus on. So, the Value Style Score takes into account ratios like P/E, PEG, Price/Sales, Price/Cash Flow, and a host of other multiples to highlight the most attractive and discounted stocks.

Growth ScoreGrowth investors are more concerned with a stock's future prospects, and the overall financial health and strength of a company. Thus, the Growth Style Score analyzes characteristics like projected and historic earnings, sales, and cash flow to find stocks that will see sustainable growth over time.

Momentum ScoreMomentum trading is all about taking advantage of upward or downward trends in a stock's price or earnings outlook, and these investors live by the saying "the trend is your friend." The Momentum Style Score can pinpoint good times to build a position in a stock, using factors like one-week price change and the monthly percentage change in earnings estimates.

VGM ScoreIf you want a combination of all three Style Scores, then the VGM Score will be your friend. It rates each stock on their combined weighted styles, helping you find the companies with the most attractive value, best growth forecast, and most promising momentum. It's also one of the best indicators to use with the Zacks Rank.

How Style Scores Work with the Zacks Rank A proprietary stock-rating model, the Zacks Rank utilizes the power of earnings estimate revisions, or changes to a company's earnings outlook, to help investors create a successful portfolio.

It's highly successful, with #1 (Strong Buy) stocks producing an unmatched +24% average annual return since 1988. That's more than double the S&P 500. But because of the large number of stocks we rate, there are over 200 companies with a Strong Buy rank, plus another 600 with a #2 (Buy) rank, on any given day.

This totals more than 800 top-rated stocks, and it can be overwhelming to try and pick the best stocks for you and your portfolio.

That's where the Style Scores come in.

To maximize your returns, you want to buy stocks with the highest probability of success. This means picking stocks with a Zacks Rank #1 or #2 that also have Style Scores of A or B. If you find yourself looking at stocks with a #3 (Hold) rank, make sure they have Scores of A or B as well to ensure as much upside potential as possible.

As mentioned above, the Scores are designed to work with the Zacks Rank, so any change to a company's earnings outlook should be a deciding factor when picking which stocks to buy.

Here's an example: a stock with a #4 (Sell) or #5 (Strong Sell) rating, even one with Style Scores of A and B, still has a downward-trending earnings outlook, and a bigger chance its share price will decrease too.

Thus, the more stocks you own with a #1 or #2 Rank and Scores of A or B, the better.

Stock to Watch: BorgWarner (BWA - Free Report) BorgWarner Inc. is a global product leader in clean and efficient technology solutions for combustion, hybrid and electric vehicles. Its products are designed to improve vehicle performance, propulsion efficiency, stability and air quality. The company manufactures and sells these products worldwide, primarily to OEMs of light vehicles, and also supplies OEMs of commercial vehicles and off-highway vehicles. BorgWarner also sells certain products to tier-one vehicle systems suppliers and into the aftermarket.

BWA is a #3 (Hold) on the Zacks Rank, with a VGM Score of A.

Momentum investors should take note of this Auto-Tires-Trucks stock. BWA has a Momentum Style Score of B, and shares are up 18.9% over the past four weeks.

Three analysts revised their earnings estimate upwards in the last 60 days for fiscal 2026. The Zacks Consensus Estimate has increased $0.02 to $5.18 per share. BWA boasts an average earnings surprise of +11.1%.

With a solid Zacks Rank and top-tier Momentum and VGM Style Scores, BWA should be on investors' short list.

SoFi Technologies (SOFI +3.39%) has been a rapid grower in the financial services industry. It had 14.7 million customers as of March 31, almost triple the amount at the end of 2022. This has supported fantastic revenue growth.

But the fintech stock has been under pressure in 2026. The share price is down 35% this year (as of June 15), and it trades 47% off its record from November 2025. What's behind SoFi's big decline?

Image source: Getty Images.

In March, the market was hit with a short report that called into question SoFi's accounting practices, which management disagreed with. On April 29, the business reported first-quarter results that weren't well received by investors. The stock dipped following these two developments.

Inflation is also running hot, with the Consumer Price Index rising in May at the fastest pace in three years. This reduces the likelihood that the Federal Reserve will cut the benchmark interest rate soon. Rates that stay higher for longer might pressure growth for banking entities.

From a fundamental perspective, though, SoFi is in solid shape. Management expects adjusted revenue and adjusted earnings per share to rise 30% and 54%, respectively, on a year-over-year basis in 2026. Wall Street analysts believe these two headline figures will continue their impressive growth in the years after.

But after the stock's decline, investors can buy shares at a lower valuation. The current forward price-to-earnings ratio of 28.6 is a compelling opportunity given SoFi's long-term potential.

The probe is the first opened ​by the Italian watchdog under ​the ⁠Digital Markets Act, which allows national regulators to conduct preliminary investigations.

The authority said ⁠the ​results of its investigation ​would be sent to the EU Commission.

For more than two decades, putting a number on a Tesla-SpaceX merger was guesswork because only one of the two companies traded publicly. That changed on June 12, when SpaceX (SPCX +19.79%) completed the largest initial public offering (IPO) in history at a valuation near $1.8 trillion. With a public price finally attached to the rocket company, long-running speculation that Elon Musk will fold his two trillion-dollar businesses into one resurfaced.

The figures involved are enormous. Electric-car maker Tesla (TSLA +0.98%) carries a market capitalization of about $1.5 trillion as of this writing, while SpaceX rose above a $2 trillion market value in its first session. Put the two together, and you get a company worth more than $3 trillion -- enough to rank among the four most valuable in the world.

Wedbush analyst Dan Ives recently put the odds of such a tie-up within a year at about 80%.

So what would a combination actually mean for the people who own Tesla today?

Here's a closer look.

Image source: The Motley Fool.

The case for a combination The argument for merging starts with the extent of overlap between the two companies. Musk increasingly pitches Tesla as an artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics company -- think self-driving software and the Optimus humanoid robot -- even though most of its revenue still comes from selling cars. SpaceX brings satellite internet through Starlink and launch capacity, and its February acquisition of Musk's AI start-up xAI added the Grok chatbot.

Ives frames a tie-up as Musk's clearest path to controlling more of the AI ecosystem under one roof.

A path to a merger seems plausible. Tesla invested $2 billion in xAI in January. When SpaceX absorbed xAI a month later, that stake converted into nearly 19 million SpaceX shares, worth about $2.6 billion at the IPO price. And the two are also jointly building a chip-making plant in Austin, known as Terafab, meant to supply processors for Tesla's robots and SpaceX's satellites alike.

Additionally, a merger between the two companies could help settle the case once and for all that Tesla is more than just a car company. Rather than Tesla shareholders owning a car company trying to become an AI company, they would hold a slice of an operation spanning electric vehicles, robotics, rockets, satellite internet, and AI.

The bull case is essentially that the market would stop valuing Tesla mainly on its car sales and start treating it as one pillar of a multitrillion-dollar Musk empire.

Why it may not play out the way bulls hope But SpaceX's own leadership sounds far more measured than the headline odds.

"Right now I'm focused on keeping the lights on here," said SpaceX president and chief operating officer Gwynne Shotwell in a CNBC interview on the day of the IPO. She allowed that the two businesses share long-term goals but stopped well short of calling a merger imminent.

The betting markets offer a more conservative view, too. As of this writing, prediction platforms put the near-term odds of a deal well below Ives's 80% -- in the range of 25% to 40% for a combination this year.

Additionally, there's the issue of who would set the terms for such a merger. Musk holds more than 80% of the voting power at SpaceX through a dual-class share structure, yet he owns only about a fifth of Tesla. That gap matters. A merger would be a related-party transaction with Musk on both sides of the table, and any deal would almost certainly be built largely around the company he controls outright.

Then there's price. Tesla shares trade at about 370 times earnings as of this writing, a valuation that already assumes the company will succeed in autonomy and robotics on its own. And a merger likely wouldn't help. It would add SpaceX's own unproven, money-losing space and AI ambitions to an already expensive stock.

So where does this leave Tesla investors? I think the honest answer is that a merger is a real possibility, but not a sure thing -- and that the more important question isn't whether it happens but on whose terms. Because Musk controls SpaceX and only a minority of Tesla, any combination would likely look less like a merger of equals and more like SpaceX absorbing Tesla.

Whatever the case, investors should make their investment decisions today based on each company's underlying fundamentals relative to the price they are paying, not because of merger prospects. Because one thing is certain: It's unclear what a merger or acquisition could look like, and under what terms it would happen.

NEW YORK & LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--iHeartMedia, the No. 1 audio company in America, and Netflix today announced the next phase of their exclusive video podcast partnership with the addition of a new collection of iHeartPodcasts from some of today's most influential and culturally resonant voices, including Kate Hudson and Oliver Hudson, Lele Pons and Martha Stewart launching as video shows on the streaming service.

LAS VEGAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--HPE Discover Las Vegas 2026 – HPE (NYSE: HPE) today announced it is unifying the HPE and Juniper Networks partner programs under HPE Partner Ready Vantage, creating a single, global program for partners to build, sell, and offer services across networking, cloud, and AI. Beginning Nov. 1, 2026, partners will operate under one program with a simplified structure, aligned incentives, and a consistent engagement model, while existing investments are protected.

The unified program anchors a broader effort to bring together one portfolio, one program, and one experience across HPE. Building on this foundation, HPE is rolling out new partner-led offers, expanding channel-only routes to market, and delivering more integrated experiences along the partner journey.

“Partners want a simpler way to engage and a bigger opportunity to grow,” said Simon Ewington, senior vice president, Worldwide Channel and Partner Ecosystem at HPE. “With a unified program across HPE and Juniper, aligned incentives, and expanded partner-led offers, we are making it easier for partners to win more business across networking, cloud, and AI.”

Expanded channel-only routes to market: Building on the success of HPE Morpheus Software—VM Essentials through a channel-only route to market, HPE is extending the channel-only model including HPE Private Cloud PC3000, HPE SimpliVity PC1000, and HPE Zerto Software. These additions create more exclusive partner-led opportunities in high-priority private cloud and data protection environments.

VM Essentials for partner IT: HPE is introducing VM Essentials for partner IT so partners can run the software in their own IT environments and build hands-on expertise. For the 600 partners who gain the Private Cloud with Virtualization competency by year end, HPE will provide VM Essentials software licenses free of charge for three years with partners paying only support costs.

Platform migration program: A new platform migration program for virtualization enables partners to help customers reduce financial risk and avoid double-paying during migrations. New VM Essentials customers can receive up to one free year of licenses for VM Essentials, a year of HPE Zerto for $1 to support non-disruptive migration to HPE virtual machines, and 0% interest on software through HPE Financial Services (HPEFS).

HPE CloudOps Software for cloud service providers: HPE helps cloud service providers (CSPs) build, operate, and monetize differentiated private cloud services with HPE CloudOps Software and the support of HPE Partner Ready Vantage. With capabilities such as multi-tenancy, self-service, SDN, policy-based governance, and cost management, CSPs can improve efficiency and monetize offerings with flexible service tiers. The HPE Cloud Commit program further enhances value with preferential pricing and services tied to committed spend.

Further validating the need, Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) has selected HPE CloudOps for the TCS Enterprise Private Cloud Platform to expand multicloud management, observability and operational automation. Together, HPE and TCS plan to pursue joint go-to-market initiatives and co-develop industry-specific solutions that simplify hybrid cloud operations and improve governance, automation and visibility.

One program simplifies partner engagement

Starting Nov. 1, 2026, HPE will bring together the HPE and Juniper partner programs under HPE Partner Ready Vantage, with one set of partner membership tiers, one group of competencies, and one compensation structure across the combined program. From that unified structure, HPE is expanding HPE Partner Ready Vantage across the build, sell and service tracks, including new partner services opportunities, to create more ways for partners to differentiate, earn and deliver value:

Build: HPE is enhancing the HPE Partner Ready Vantage Build Track by consolidating the HPE Technology Partner Program within an expanded Technology Validation Center and aligning more closely with HPE's Unleash AI ISV partner program. Within this program, a sub-set of Unleash AI partners have been validated on NVIDIA accelerated computing and integrated with HPE AI Factory with NVIDIA – including HPE Private Cloud AI, a turnkey AI factory. These investments will make it easier for partners to validate solutions across the HPE portfolio, accelerate interoperability testing and solution readiness, and speed time-to-market. HPE is also launching a new customer use case hub to help partners showcase validated solutions, drive customer adoption, and scale AI, hybrid cloud, networking, and edge use cases across the ecosystem. Sell: HPE is aligning incentives across the portfolio and extending rebates to reward deeper expertise, broader solution selling and new-logo wins. HPE is also standardizing new business opportunity incentives for storage, giving sellers upfront margin for winning new business. When combined with rebates for focus solution areas such as block storage, or competencies such as virtualization and GreenLake Flex Solutions, the total margin stack can reach up to 24 percent, for Storage CAPEX competitive take out. Service: HPE is launching partner branded services on select platforms. Qualified partners will deliver services under their own brand, backed by HPE escalation, logistics, and engineering support through HPE Partner Services – Technical Support. HPE is also expanding partner-led migration and lifecycle services to help partners grow recurring revenue and own more of the customer relationship. HPE is extending competency-based financial rewards beyond medallion status, enabling eligible partners to earn rebates for investing in and achieving targeted competencies. Through HPE Partner Ready Vantage and HPEFS, HPE is equipping partners with IT sustainability competencies, tools and dashboards to help achieve efficiency-led outcomes and lower costs in increasingly power-hungry AI environments.

One experience streamlines the partner journey

HPE is advancing its one-experience strategy with a fully integrated and more streamlined partner journey beginning Nov. 1, including one partner portal to access all tools and information, one unified onboarding and contracting experience, a single development funds program, and a unified deal registration for resellers.

HPE is extending that simplification into financing. HPEFS is adding new capabilities to its partner portal to provide more pricing flexibility and help strengthen customer relationships. Partners will now be able to access annual payment structures for improved predictability, promotional pricing for special offers, and competitive pricing aligned to each partner’s relationship level with HPEFS. Based on strong customer demand and increased purchasing activity, HPEFS is also proactively reviewing and, where possible, expanding available credit capacity for both new and existing customers to provide greater flexibility and convenience.

Bringing AI opportunity to customers through partners

HPE is bringing its strategy to life by making it easier for partners to engage across one portfolio, one program, and one experience while helping customers put AI to work faster. To support that effort, HPE is expanding its global network of HPE Private Cloud AI testing sites and services to help customers rapidly validate, scale, and operationalize end-to-end AI solutions. Supported by partners including Equinix for hosted trials, as well as leading distributors and global solution providers, the initiative accelerates real-world enterprise AI deployments while creating new growth opportunities across the ecosystem.

In collaboration with NVIDIA and the Digital Realty Innovation Lab (DRIL), HPE is extending its partner-led approach with a Smart City / Smart Campus proof-of-concept center that gives customers and partners a practical environment to evaluate and optimize solutions before moving into production. Using technologies including NVIDIA Omniverse and NVIDIA Metropolis, it gives partners a more tangible way to demonstrate end-to-end AI use cases and helps customers move to production with greater confidence.

Wipro has integrated HPE Private Cloud AI, part of HPE AI Factory with NVIDIA, into Wipro WINGS, their AI platform, to accelerate enterprise agentic AI adoption. Combining the Wipro WINGS platform of AI agents, orchestration, and automation with HPE’s AI infrastructure enables secure scaling of agentic AI across hybrid environments. Wipro and HPE will collaborate on industry-focused solutions and joint go-to-market initiatives.

Availability

Starting July 1, 2026, HPE SimpliVity PC1000, HPE Private Cloud PC3000, and HPE Zerto Software will be available for new business exclusively through the channel. HPE CloudOps Software for cloud service providers is available now to partners with an HPE Service Provider contract and the partners in the HPE Partner Ready Vantage Managed Services Center. The unified HPE Partner Ready Vantage program and integrated partner experience will be available beginning Nov. 1, 2026. Partner branded services are currently available to Triple Platinum Plus partners and will expand to other medallion partners by Nov. 1, 2026. HPEFS partner portal enhancements will be available by July 1, 2026, in the United States, Mexico, Canada, France, Germany, the United Kingdom, Spain, and Italy, with rollout in remaining supported countries continuing through the rest of the calendar year.

Qualcomm is working on over 40 designs of new AI devices, CEO Cristiano Amon told CNBC, as the chip designer prepares for a wave of "agents" across consumer electronics.

In a wide-ranging interview on CNBC's "The Tech Download" podcast, Amon laid out his views on the changing role of smartphones and apps, why smart glasses could be the next major consumer device, new types of electronics that will hit the market, and how chip architectures will need to change for even smaller gadgets.

Amon's comments, which also alluded to new entrants in the consumer market, could have implications for the way major smartphone players like Apple and Samsung will need to compete as AI proliferates devices.

"I think there's going to be a lot of experimentation with different form factors," Amon said on "The Tech Download."

"Right now, we have over 40 designs of those devices, and I'm telling you, the types of form factors are very, very broad."

Amon said these wearable tech devices include jewelry, earbuds with cameras, pins, and watches.

"The principle is something that you wear, something [that] is with you all the time, something that can see the world around you, so you have context and have the ability for you to access an agent and talk to the agent," Amon said.

AI agentsAgents are seen as the next step for digital assistants like Apple's Siri or Google Gemini. The tech industry is betting these agents will be able to carry out longer and more complex tasks across various apps and services on devices, such as booking holidays.

Amon shared an example of an agent that instantly retrieves details of banking transactions, eliminating the need for a user to navigate through the app and manually locate the information. This could mean that the way we interact with apps in a future where agents are carrying out tasks could change.

Apps are "not dead," Amon said, "but apps are going to change."

"Those agents are going to be the new app," he added.

Qualcomm bullish on smart glassesThe proliferation of agents and the changing nature of the way we use apps in the future could also change the relationship people have with their smartphones and create opportunities for new types of devices to become popular.

AI agents are set to replace smartphones as the center of digital life.

"The phone is around the agent. The new classes of devices ... are going to be around the agent as well. And the agent will be the one that will understand human intentions and will do things for you, so there is a shift in what the center of gravity is," Amon said, adding that phones won't disappear altogether.

The Qualcomm CEO said he is bullish on smart glasses, a category of product that could rival smartphones in terms of scale. Smart glasses shipments are now in the "order of multiple tens of millions" per year, he told CNBC. In "a couple of years," Amon said this could reach the "order of hundreds of millions of glasses and could become as big as smartphones."

There were 1.26 billion smartphones shipped in 2025, according to Counterpoint research, around 3% higher than the year before.

Companies from Meta to Samsung are developing smart glasses with cameras in them.

AI companies getting into hardwareThe shifts in devices could open the door for new types of companies to enter the consumer hardware market, Amon said.

Last year OpenAI bought io, the hardware startup founded by iconic Apple designer Jony Ive, as it looks to enter the consumer devices market.

"All the devices that we wear become endpoints for agents, and those AI companies understand they have to win those endpoints from agents," Amon said, explaining why non-traditional hardware companies are getting into gadgets.

Another motivation behind new entrants into the hardware space is data. Amon said these devices will gather data on a scale that is "exponentially larger" than the data used to train AI models.

"So those companies want to have access to the data, because it's important to train future models," and to create "bespoke" AI experiences for users, Amon said.

With devices changing to potentially even smaller form factors, the chips that power them will need to change, as they will need to become more powerful and even more energy efficient.

"Our entire roadmap is in a process of upgrade right now. An entire roadmap, because I believe none of the devices we have today are prepared for the future," Amon said.

General Information

The Offeror's obligations to complete each Tender Offer and Consent Solicitation are subject to and conditioned upon the following having occurred or, in the case of the General Conditions, having been waived by the Offeror with respect to such Tender Offer and Consent Solicitation, as applicable: (1) the satisfaction of the Merger Condition, and (2) the satisfaction of the General Conditions. Each Tender Offer and Consent Solicitation is a separate offer and is not conditioned on any other Tender Offer or Consent Solicitation. There can be no assurance that any of the Tender Offers or the Consent Solicitations will be consummated. The Offeror may amend, extend or terminate the Tender Offers and the Consent Solicitations, in its sole discretion.

The Offeror intends to fund the Total Consideration (including accrued and unpaid interest), plus all related fees and expenses, using proceeds from the financing transactions to fund the Merger. Notes that are tendered and accepted in the Tender Offers will cease to be outstanding and will be cancelled.

Any Notes not tendered and purchased pursuant to the Tender Offers will remain outstanding. If the requisite Consents are received with respect to a series of Notes, and the Proposed Amendments become operative with respect to the Indenture for such series of Notes, then the applicable Notes that are not purchased pursuant to the Tender Offers will be subject to the Proposed Amendments. The Proposed Amendments would amend the Indenture to eliminate certain restrictive covenants, eliminate certain events of default and modify or eliminate certain other provisions with respect to such series of Notes. The Requisite Consents have not yet been received with respect to either series of Notes.

To the extent any Notes remain outstanding following the consummation of the Tender Offers and the Consent Solicitations, the Offeror currently intends to cause the Company to defease one or both series of Notes, in which case Holders of such Notes will continue to receive interest on each scheduled interest payment date and principal on the stated maturity date but will not benefit from any restrictive covenants removed pursuant to the defeasance, including the change of control repurchase obligations. The Proposed Amendments do not need to be adopted in order to defease one or both series of Notes in accordance with the terms of the Indenture. To the extent any Notes remain outstanding following the consummation of the Tender Offers and the Consent Solicitations, the Company may (or the Offeror may cause the Company to) also purchase, repurchase, redeem or otherwise acquire or retire the 2031 Notes and/or the 2051 Notes by any available means, including, without limitation, negotiated transactions, open market purchases, tender offers, redemption or otherwise, upon such terms and at such prices as the Offeror or the Company may determine. Any such transaction may be on the same terms or on terms that are more or less favorable to Holders of Notes than the terms of the Tender Offers and the Consent Solicitations and will depend on various factors existing at that time. Finally, the Company may (or the Offeror may cause the Company to) leave outstanding any Notes that remain outstanding following the consummation of the Tender Offers and the Consent Solicitations or any transaction described in this paragraph.

PLANO, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--As the global appetite for chicken grows, KFC is answering the call by challenging the sameness across quick-service chicken with a clear focus: delivering the most craveable food and more dynamic restaurant experiences designed around how consumers want to eat today.

“In an increasingly crowded category, we have a clear opportunity to set the standard for modern chicken in QSR,” said Scott Mezvinsky, CEO, KFC Global. “This next chapter brings new energy and expression to what makes us iconic, while doubling down on our chicken and reimagining how fans experience KFC around the world.”

The brand that made chicken famous is introducing new ways to enjoy its original flavor through an expansion of boneless menu items built for dipping, dunking and solo snacking, along with unexpected sauces that unlock customization and flavor discovery.

At the same time, KFC is evolving its beverage experiences to deliver everyday moments of indulgence, alongside more dynamic, modern restaurants designed to meet customers wherever they are throughout the day.

What’s New:

Dipped: Crispy, juicy tenders and an assortment of other favorite boneless options paired with sauces from KFC’s new global sauce “pantry” – a lineup of 20+ sauces ranging from modern takes on classic recipes to internationally-inspired yet familiar flavors. Designed to tap into growing consumer demand for personalization and sensory flavor experiences, markets can tailor these sauces to local tastes – examples include Chimichurri Ranch and Hot Honey Habanero. Dunked: Tenders, wings and sandwiches drenched in sauce for an immersive, flavor-first eating experience that brings bold flavor and craveability to every bite. Already available in South Africa and India, Dunked menu items reflect growing consumer demand for more indulgent, sauce-forward menu experiences. KWENCH by KFC: A global beverage platform redefining KFC’s role in drinks – featuring Boba Refreshers, Krunch Shakes, Sparkling Lemonades and Iced Coffees already available in select UK and Ireland locations – is expanding from pilot to permanent menu in Australia and Canada this year. Designed to meet growing demand for small, feel-good indulgences throughout the day, KWENCH gives fans new ways to treat themselves beyond mealtimes. Together, these fresh ways to experience KFC position the brand to be enjoyed for sips, snacks or meals — unlocking flavor exploration, personalization and craveability while giving fans more ways to customize flavors, mix and match combinations and make the menu their own.

Across the coming weeks in the UK and Ireland, KFC will roll out new Tenders and nine new, bold sauces alongside refreshed branding across the market’s communications and digital touchpoints, giving fans more freedom to mix, match and personalize meals around their cravings, moods and moments. In the coming weeks, the global rollout is expected to expand across Australia and the U.S., with additional markets following through 2026.

The experience will feel different in KFC’s restaurants, beginning this summer. The brand is set to open a new generation of spaces designed for hospitality, not just efficiency – with environments that feel more dynamic and adapt throughout the day to meet different occasions. These next-gen restaurants are designed to elevate the dining experience and bring KFC’s signature hospitality to life, taking shape across key markets through distinct new formats.

The first expressions of these newly designed spaces include:

An open-concept design in McKinney, Texas, reinterpreting the brand’s heritage with modern energy, expected to open late summer. A fully immersive, two-story restaurant in Dubai, showcasing one of the boldest expressions of the brand’s next-generation design, opening in the fall. This vision will continue to evolve globally as new builds and restaurant remodels embrace the next era of restaurant design.

To bring this shift to life consistently around the world, KFC is also sharpening how it shows up visually. The brand is evolving its most distinctive assets to feel more relevant, more expressive, and more in tune with modern culture, while staying true to itself and grounded in the Colonel and its iconic “Finger Lickin’ Good” ethos. At the center is the bucket – KFC’s most recognizable asset – refreshed with new energy alongside a subtle evolution of the Colonel himself, ensuring the brand’s legacy remains front and center. Together, the updated branding comes to life across packaging, digital platforms, advertising and restaurant environments.
