Volatile stock Newell Brands (NASDAQ: NWL), the company with a portfolio of familiar household brands such as Rubbermaid, kitchen gear, and Sharpie pens, saw an encouraging rebound in Thursday's trading. Bolstered by not one, but two analyst price target raises, investors eagerly bought the stock, and it closed the day over 5% higher.
2 bullish bumps Of the two increases, the one made by Andrea Teixeira of JPMorgan Chase's J.P. Morgan was the more impactful. She cranked her Newell fair value assessement 40% higher, to $7 per share from the previous $5. In doing so, the analyst maintained her overweight (buy, in other words) recommendation on the consumer goods conglomerate.
Image source: Getty Images.
A more cautious raise was made by UBS' Peter Grom in his latest Newell update. The pundit now believes the stock is worth $4.75 per share, up from his previous estimate of $4.25. Unlike Teixeira, he isn't necessarily positive on the company, as he kept his neutral recommendation intact.
Both moves came less than two weeks before Newell is slated to publish its second-quarter results. On average, according to data compiled by Yahoo! Finance, pundits tracking Newell stock are modeling $1.97 billion for revenue, which would be 2% higher year over year. While they're expecting a net profit of $0.19 per share, that's down from $0.24 a year ago.

A short story There continues to be plenty of bearish sentiment on Newell, however. In recent weeks, it's already considerable short interest -- one gauge of negative investor outlook -- has risen notably to more than 57 million shares out of a total of under 425 million shares outstanding.
Much of this stems from concerns about Newell's considerable debt load, which, despite some recent reductions, remains heavy. In the most recently reported quarter, long-term borrowings totaled almost $5 billion, nearly half of total liabilities. Some stocks are volatile for good reason, and for the moment, I'd stay away from this one.

New York, New York--(Newsfile Corp. - July 16, 2026) - WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers of securities of Futu Holdings Limited (NASDAQ: FUTU) between May 24, 2023 and May 27, 2026, inclusive (the "Class Period"), of the important August 25, 2026 lead plaintiff deadline.
SO WHAT: If you purchased Futu securities 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 Futu class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/cases/futu-holdings-limited/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 25, 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. Many of these firms do not actually handle securities class actions, but are merely middlemen that refer clients or partner with law firms that actually litigate the cases. 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 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.

WASHINGTON, July 16 (Reuters) - SpaceX's (SPCX.O), opens new tab Starship rocket triggered a last-second abort before liftoff for its 13th flight test from Texas on Thursday, postponing the mission by at least 24 hours with the company studying what likely caused the automated scrub.
"We did trigger a hold on the booster that aborted our liftoff as we were starting to light those Raptor engines," said SpaceX spokesperson Dan Huot, speaking on the company's live stream. "We'll take some time, dig into what triggered that abort once the booster was igniting to launch, and then we'll figure out what our path forward is going to be."

The launch abort came less than a second before Starship's planned 6:45 p.m. ET liftoff from Starbase, SpaceX's company town in south Texas. The rocket's engines ignited but cut off shortly after.

All eyes have been on Space Exploration Technologies (SPCX 3.07%) since its explosive initial public offering. The technology and industrial giant may have stirred up so much excitement due to its exciting mix of businesses, the leadership of the ambitious Elon Musk, and the sheer size of the operation. SpaceX raised more than $85 billion after the exercise of an overallotment option to complete the biggest IPO ever.
And the company launched with a market value of more than $2 trillion -- the other trillion-dollar stocks, such as Nvidia and Apple, took years to reach such a valuation.
SpaceX climbed nearly 20% in its first day of trading and continued to advance over the next few days -- but since that point, the stock has stumbled. And just this week, it fell below its IPO price of $135. What happens next? History offers an answer that's crystal clear.

Cutting costs of rocket launches First, though, let's explore the SpaceX story so far. The company was founded by Elon Musk, also known as the chief executive officer of Tesla, back in 2002, and since then has aimed to drastically cut the costs of rocket launches. SpaceX has been successful so far -- using its reusable rocket technologies, it already reduced costs by 85% in 2010, according to NASA. This year, the company aims to launch its fully reusable rocket Starship with payloads, further advancing toward this goal.
In addition to the rocket launch business, SpaceX also operates a connectivity arm called Starlink and an artificial intelligence (AI) unit. Starlink is the main revenue driver so far, bringing in revenue of $11.4 billion last year on total revenue of $18 billion as it grew its subscriber base. The AI unit has major goals, such as developing data centers in space, but so far, it's been a drag on earnings -- this is because it requires enormous investment. Last year, capital spending for the AI business reached $12 billion, driving SpaceX to a net loss.
Musk is committed to innovation, and that's something many investors like, and SpaceX aims to be a game changer in its three businesses. That's positive and is attracting growth investors. But it's important to keep in mind that certain goals require the development of complex technology -- and if the technology fails, SpaceX won't reach those goals. Meanwhile, the need to heavily invest could stand in the way of profitability for some time. So investing in SpaceX today involves a certain degree of risk.
Some of these elements could have weighed on investors' minds in recent days -- and as a result, weighed on SpaceX's stock performance too.

A look at past IPOs Now, let's consider what history has to say about what happens next. A look at 10 of the biggest IPOs, including names such as Rivian Automotive and Coupang, shows that eight posted declines in the three months following their launches. And five of them delivered declines in the double-digits. The average drop over the first three months was 13%.
If SpaceX follows that pattern and posts the average decline, the stock may finish its first three months of trading at around $139, a few dollars above the IPO price.
Of course, it's impossible to predict the exact path of a stock price. And it's important to note that the company's upcoming earnings report could come into play and offer the stock direction. But if history is right, SpaceX could stagnate around current price levels -- since it's already declined more than 13% since the IPO -- over the coming two months.
What does this mean for you as an investor? Should you buy SpaceX now that it's fallen to its IPO level? I don't think this will be the first and only opportunity to get in on SpaceX stock on the dip, and generally, it's a better idea to take a look at another earnings report or even two to monitor the company's progress before buying. Though very aggressive investors may consider adding a few shares of SpaceX to their portfolios now, most investors should hold on for a future buying opportunity.
In the latest trading session, Apple (AAPL - Free Report) closed at $333.26, marking a +1.76% move from the previous day. This change outpaced the S&P 500's 0.51% loss on the day. Meanwhile, the Dow experienced a drop of 0.2%, and the technology-dominated Nasdaq saw a decrease of 1.47%.
Prior to today's trading, shares of the maker of iPhones, iPads and other products had gained 10.66% outpaced the Computer and Technology sector's loss of 2.99% and the S&P 500's gain of 0.53%.
Investors will be eagerly watching for the performance of Apple in its upcoming earnings disclosure. The company's earnings report is set to be unveiled on July 30, 2026. The company is forecasted to report an EPS of $1.88, showcasing a 19.75% upward movement from the corresponding quarter of the prior year. Meanwhile, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenue is projecting net sales of $108.79 billion, up 15.69% from the year-ago period.
AAPL's full-year Zacks Consensus Estimates are calling for earnings of $8.76 per share and revenue of $479.03 billion. These results would represent year-over-year changes of +17.43% and +15.11%, respectively.
Investors might also notice recent changes to analyst estimates for Apple. These revisions typically reflect the latest short-term business trends, which can change frequently. As a result, we can interpret positive estimate revisions as a good sign for the business outlook.
Empirical research indicates that these revisions in estimates have a direct correlation with impending stock price performance. To capitalize on this, we've crafted the Zacks Rank, a unique model that incorporates these estimate changes and offers a practical rating system.
Ranging from #1 (Strong Buy) to #5 (Strong Sell), the Zacks Rank system has a proven, outside-audited track record of outperformance, with #1 stocks returning an average of +25% annually since 1988. Within the past 30 days, our consensus EPS projection has moved 0.05% higher. Apple currently has a Zacks Rank of #3 (Hold).
In terms of valuation, Apple is currently trading at a Forward P/E ratio of 37.39. This indicates a premium in contrast to its industry's Forward P/E of 21.98.
Meanwhile, AAPL's PEG ratio is currently 2.84. 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. The average PEG ratio for the Computer - Micro Computers industry stood at 2.84 at the close of the market yesterday.
The Computer - Micro Computers industry is part of the Computer and Technology sector. With its current Zacks Industry Rank of 18, this industry ranks in the top 8% of all industries, numbering over 250.
The Zacks Industry Rank is ordered from best to worst in terms of the average Zacks Rank of the individual companies within each of these sectors. Our research shows that the top 50% rated industries outperform the bottom half by a factor of 2 to 1.

Warren Buffett stepped down as CEO of Berkshire Hathaway (BRKB +0.98%)(BRKA +0.73%) at the end of 2025, but he still speaks out on some of the conglomerate's investments. And in a CNBC interview on Wednesday, he made clear that his view of Apple (AAPL +1.72%) hasn't budged. It remains one of his favorite businesses, he said, even with a change at the top just weeks away.
That change is no small thing. Apple announced in April that longtime CEO Tim Cook will become executive chairman on Sept. 1, handing the chief executive job to hardware engineering chief John Ternus. A leadership handoff at one of the world's most valuable companies would normally give investors pause.
Buffett, whose Berkshire owns more than $70 billion in Apple stock, doesn't seem worried.
So does his continued conviction make the stock a buy near its record high? Let's take a look.
Image source: The Motley Fool.
A business Buffett knows well Buffett first bought Apple in 2016, and it has grown into Berkshire's single biggest position. It accounts for about 22% of the conglomerate's roughly $263 billion equity portfolio, according to its most recent quarterly filing, making it Berkshire's largest holding by a wide margin.
More telling still, Berkshire left the stake untouched in the first quarter, its first full period under new CEO Greg Abel. After years of steady trimming, standing pat amounts to a quiet vote of confidence.
Part of Buffett's ease with the succession may be that Apple's staying power doesn't rest on any one executive. Ternus has been at the company since 2001 and has run hardware engineering through the iPhone's most important years.
And the numbers he inherits are strong. In its fiscal second quarter (the period ended March 28, 2026), Apple's revenue rose 17% year over year to $111.2 billion, and earnings per share climbed 22% to $2.01. Both were March-quarter records.
iPhone revenue jumped 22% to a record $57 billion, powered by demand for the iPhone 17 lineup. Services revenue, meanwhile, hit an all-time high of about $31 billion, up roughly 16% year over year.
That services business is the quiet engine here, and it's the piece I'd watch most. It carries a gross margin near 75%, against about 39% for products, so as it outgrows the rest of the company, it steadily lifts Apple's overall profitability.
Zoom out, and the trajectory is the real story. Apple's revenue grew just 6% in fiscal 2025, then accelerated to that 17% pace in the March quarter. Management has guided for 14% to 17% growth again in the current quarter, which Apple will report later this month.
After several sluggish years, in other words, this is a business reaccelerating. That helps explain why Buffett is content to leave it as Berkshire's anchor holding through a CEO change.

The price of that conviction But is the stock overvalued?
Apple stock climbed about 4% on Wednesday to roughly $328, a fresh record, and it is up more than 55% over the past year, well ahead of the S&P 500. At that price, shares trade at close to 40 times earnings -- a steep premium to the broader market's roughly 25. Even on next year's expected profits, the multiple eases only to the mid-30s.
But I think Apple stock is worth its premium.
Not only is the business accelerating, but it's also built on an enduring, proven brand and a loyal customer base. Then there's the potential for AI to further accelerate both its products and services businesses, as it gives customers reasons to upgrade and potentially opens the door to entirely new product categories.
Additionally, Buffett's conviction is worth taking seriously. Not only is he a renowned investor, but he's putting his money where his mouth is -- and he hasn't sold any Apple shares this year.
So, is Apple a buy up here? I think so.
Sure, there are risks. But I agree with Buffett on this one. Apple is a stock worth owning. With that said, it's worth being clear that Berkshire hasn't been buying Apple stock at this level -- least not that we know of. So it's not fair to say that Buffett thinks Apple stock is a buy. But he certainly likes owning it -- and he likes owning a lot of it. Further, Berkshire's position size is arguably already borderline oversized, so it makes sense he isn't adding.

The multinational giant said in a disclosure with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission that its Fairlife dairy company was hit by ransomware and that its production systems are affected. The company said that its Fairlife production operations across the United States are “temporarily suspended.”
Fairlife’s operations in Canada are unaffected.
Coca-Cola is one of the largest companies in the world, with products spanning carbonated drinks, water, and dairy products. Its Fairlife dairy is one of the company’s major brands, with an estimated $4 billion in sales by 2024.
Ransomware attacks on food and beverage companies can have lasting effects. Past incidents at Arizona Beverages in 2019 and food distributor giant UNFI last year resulted in weeks-long disruptions to their respective production lines and empty grocery shelves.
Coca-Cola didn’t say when Fairlife’s systems would be restored.

Consequently, upward revisions in estimates express analysts' positivity towards the business operations and its ability to generate profits.
Our research shows that these estimate changes are directly correlated with near-term stock prices. To benefit from this, we have developed the Zacks Rank, a proprietary model which takes these estimate changes into account and provides an actionable rating system.

The beverage company has exceeded earnings expectations for four consecutive quarters, and while Coca-Cola isn't shattering any growth records, it remains consistent.
Coca-Cola investors are also rewarded on the income side. The company has raised its dividend for 64 consecutive years, making it a true Dividend King -- a company that has raised its dividend for at least 50 consecutive years. Right now, the stock is yielding about 2.5%. The company currently pays $0.53 per share quarterly.
Coca-Cola is an asset-light company, which helps it maintain strong free cash flow. The company reported nearly $2 billion in free cash flow last quarter.

Risks to consider Coca-Cola is not immune to inflation and tariffs, and rising costs have a real impact.
The stock also trades at a premium to many peers, with its current forward P/E ratio at about 25. The stock has risen more than 18% year to date as of this writing.
What to watch on July 28 Still, Coca-Cola remains a steadfast behemoth with excellent fundamentals. With a new CEO at the helm this year, Coca-Cola is focusing on innovation and technology to further drive growth.
There may be some short-term volatility due to macroeconomic conditions, but buying Coca-Cola ahead of its next earnings release and holding for years remains a good move for those who like a steady ship that delivers reliable income.

Alphabet shares fell more than 4% on Thursday, reflecting concerns that the Google parent company is falling further behind in the artificial-intelligence race.
Google’s Gemini 3.5 Pro, its most powerful AI model to date, is months behind schedule because of the company’s work to try and boost its performance, according to Bloomberg. In early June, CEO Sundar Pichai said the model was expected to be launched later that month, but it still has not yet been released.

LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The Law Offices of Frank R. Cruz announces an investigation of Alphabet Inc. (“Alphabet” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: GOOG) on behalf of investors concerning the Company's possible violations of federal securities laws.IF YOU ARE AN INVESTOR WHO LOST MONEY ON ALPHABET INC. (GOOG), CLICK HERE TO INQUIRE ABOUT POTENTIALLY PURSUING A CLAIM TO RECOVER YOUR LOSS.What Is The Investigation About?On July 16, 2026, Bloomberg news reported that Alphabet's Google is “months behi.
Google is months behind schedule on delivering its most powerful artificial intelligence (AI) model, Gemini 3.5 Pro, Bloomberg reported Thursday (July 16), citing unnamed sources.
The company was widely expected to release 3.5 Pro at its developer conference in May, but it is still working to improve the model’s capabilities, especially in coding, according to the report.
Google said in a May 19 blog post announcing the launch of Gemini 3.5 Flash: “We’re also hard at work on 3.5 Pro. It’s already being used internally, and we look forward to rolling it out next month.”
According to the Bloomberg report, the delay has been caused in part by Google’s many layers of stakeholders involved in preparing models for release, the company’s efforts to make the 3.5 Pro’s skills in writing code more competitive with its rivals, and competing factions within Google each building their own AI coding tools.
Asked about the report by Bloomberg, a Google spokesperson said, per the report: “We’re shipping quickly across a wide range of models while keeping them highly cost-effective for customers.”
Google is also working with the U.S. government and its efforts to monitor the most advanced models, according to the report.
“We’re currently testing 3.5 Pro, an upgraded Flash model, and other models with partners, and we’re productively engaged with the U.S. government on model testing and broader frameworks,” the Google spokesperson said, per the report.
PYMNTS reported in May that Gemini 3.5 Flash had become the default model across the Gemini app and Search’s AI Mode; that the Gemini app was serving more than 900 million monthly users across 230 countries; and that daily queries had grown sevenfold.
In remarks delivered at a Google event in May, Google CEO Sundar Pichai said: “Today we have 13 products with over a billion users each. Five of those have more than 3 billion users. Our Gemini models are a big reason more people are using our products, and why they’re using our products more.”
Speaking of the company’s latest AI models, Pichai said: “Gemini 3.5 Flash is available for everyone today across our products and APIs. We’re also excited for Gemini 3.5 Pro. We are using it internally, it’s showing great improvements, and it will be coming next month.”

Amazon (AMZN 1.92%) brought in a jaw-dropping $182 billion in revenue in the first three months of 2026. While the majority of this sum came from its retail operations, the market undoubtedly spends more time focused on the company's cloud division, Amazon Web Services (AWS).
This isn't surprising. AWS posted a 28% year-over-year revenue gain in Q1, its fastest growth pace in more than three years. And AWS' operating income accounts for 59% of the overall company's total. These are impressive trends.
But investors should take a deeper look at the AWS growth story.
Image source: Amazon.
Double-click on the backlog metric Andy Jassy, who has been CEO of Amazon since taking over from founder Jeff Bezos in July 2021, highlighted the huge opportunity that the cloud segment is facing. As he wrote in his 2025 shareholder letter, "85% of global IT spend remains on-premises."
In recent years, the artificial intelligence (AI) market has taken a central position in the financial picture. "Our AI revenue is growing triple digits year over year," Chief Financial Officer Brian T. Olsavsky said on the Q1 earnings call. It's hard not to be bullish about the company after reading this.
The market places a lot of attention on a single metric for cloud computing leaders like Amazon: backlog, which indicates contracted (but not yet delivered) demand from customers. AWS had a $364 billion backlog as of March 31, up 49% from three months before.
And that figure didn't include the 10-year $100 billion deal with Anthropic signed in April. But it did include OpenAI's $138 billion spending commitment over the next eight years. These are the two most prominent AI labs out there, and both are weighing initial public offerings that would value the companies at more than $1 trillion.
The outlook for AWS is highly reliant on the ability of these two start-ups to fulfill their spending commitments. This puts its backlog on shakier ground.
As of May, Anthropic and OpenAI had a combined annualized revenue run rate of $72 billion. Their total yearly spending commitment to AWS of about $27 billion amounts to 38% of this sales figure. This isn't a cause for concern at first glance.
However, this doesn't count their spending obligations with other cloud providers, measured in the hundreds of billions of dollars. It also excludes operating expenses and the need to eventually produce a profit. There is tremendous uncertainty in the coming years, all dependent upon the ability of Anthropic and OpenAI to register skyrocketing revenues and build durable business models.

Say goodbye to free cash flow Amazon has said it will lay out $200 billion on capital expenditures this year, up 52% compared to 2025. The company will burn $11 billion in free cash flow in 2026, according to analysts' consensus estimates. Investors have to get used to this new financial reality.
On a positive note, Amazon has historically excelled at choosing where to invest with an eye toward the long term. Additionally, the sizable investments it's making could also benefit the overall business. The online marketplace, logistics network, Prime Video, and advertising segment, for example, are all leveraging its expanded AI capabilities.
Amazon (AMZN - Free Report) closed the most recent trading day at $249.89, moving -1.99% from the previous trading session. The stock trailed the S&P 500, which registered a daily loss of 0.51%. Meanwhile, the Dow experienced a drop of 0.2%, and the technology-dominated Nasdaq saw a decrease of 1.47%.
The online retailer's stock has climbed by 7.35% in the past month, exceeding the Retail-Wholesale sector's gain of 0.51% and the S&P 500's gain of 0.53%.
Analysts and investors alike will be keeping a close eye on the performance of Amazon in its upcoming earnings disclosure. The company is predicted to post an EPS of $1.82, indicating a 8.33% growth compared to the equivalent quarter last year. Simultaneously, our latest consensus estimate expects the revenue to be $196.9 billion, showing a 17.41% escalation compared to the year-ago quarter.
In terms of the entire fiscal year, the Zacks Consensus Estimates predict earnings of $8.86 per share and a revenue of $826.06 billion, indicating changes of +23.57% and +15.22%, respectively, from the former year.
It's also important for investors to be aware of any recent modifications to analyst estimates for Amazon. Such recent modifications usually signify the changing landscape of near-term business trends. With this in mind, we can consider positive estimate revisions a sign of optimism about the business outlook.
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.

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. Many of these firms do not actually handle securities class actions, but are merely middlemen that refer clients or partner with law firms that actually litigate the cases. 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 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 billions 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 false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) Microsoft’s Copilot family of products had experienced significant brand positioning, user experience, usage, data siloing, computational capacity, organizational, and interoperability problems; (2) Microsoft’s flagship proprietary AI model ranked well below competitors on a number of benchmark tests; (3) Microsoft needed to increase by billions of dollars its capital expenditures and divert graphics processing unit (“GPU”) and central processing unit (“CPU”) capacity away from fulfilling demand for its profitable Azure services in order to improve the competitive positioning of its critical Copilot family of products and increase its AI-related research and development (“R&D”); and (4) as a result, Microsoft had failed to convert a significant percentage of its commercial Microsoft 365 users to paid Copilot subscriptions and Microsoft’s Copilot offerings had lost market share to rival products, a trend that was increasing. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.

Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella told employees Wednesday that Anthropic's limits on requests that users submit to the startup's high-end Fable artificial intelligence model don't make sense.
The comments come as executives express interest in cost-efficient models that don't come from the most well funded labs but can handle software development and other tasks inside companies. On Thursday Chinese startup Moonshot AI announced an open-source model that it said surpasses recent releases from Anthropic and OpenAI.
"If you use Fable, when it refuses for any random thing, it just is like, when was the last time you had a creation tool that was so editorially controlled?" Nadella told engineers working on Microsoft's Copilot AI software, according to a copy of his remarks that was provided to CNBC. "It doesn't make sense."
Microsoft declined to comment. An Anthropic spokesperson did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
When end users ask Fable about some aspects of creating large-scale models, among other topics, Anthropic might send responses from an older version, according to a support page. Some people have called out the rejections on social media.
Anthropic said when it announced Fable 5 in early June that it was attempting to reduce false positives for blocked requests. Three days after the introduction, Anthropic cut off Fable access to comply with a U.S. government export control directive, and on July 1 the company restored the model, saying "the new safeguards will flag a slightly higher fraction of harmless requests than the previous Fable safeguards."
The Microsoft chief's remarks represent criticism of a valued partner and client. Anthropic's Claude Code software development tool has become popular among programmers and people with less technical talent. In November Microsoft said it was making a $5 billion investment in Anthropic, as the startup agreed to spend $30 billion on Microsoft's Azure cloud. This year Microsoft unveiled Copilot Cowork, a business productivity assistant that draws on the startup's models.
Investors have worried that Microsoft could face disruption from models that quickly write software, as the company allocates tens of billions per quarter to data center expansion. Shares have fallen 17% so far this year, while the Nasdaq Composite index has gained 11%.
Lately Nadella has argued that companies should be able to cost-efficiently develop custom models and draw on internal data, without letting it flow out to other entities, such as companies in the business of building models. In a Sunday blog post, he invoked Palantir CEO Alex Karp, who said on CNBC that technical organizations "want to know they own the means of production."
Microsoft offers the Foundry service where developers can adopt over 11,000 models, including some from Anthropic and OpenAI.
"It can't be that there are only two companies in the world with token capital, and everybody else is renting it," Nadella told the engineers. "It makes no economic sense." Tokens measure computing usage of AI models.
Microsoft tied itself tightly to OpenAI through a series of investments, but the two companies drifted and became competing with each other after the abrupt 2023 ousting and reinstatement of OpenAI's CEO, Sam Altman, with little notice to Nadella.
OpenAI said in April it would bring its models beyond Azure to cloud infrastructure leader Amazon Web Services. Microsoft, for its part, announced a series of in-house models, including one for coding, in June. Its stake in OpenAI's for-profit business was worth $135 billion as of October.
Nadella also said it's good Microsoft is merging products for consumer and corporate workers. In March, he announced that former Snap executive Jacob Andreou would take charge of Copilot across both categories.
The unification is something "we should have done maybe day one," he said. In April Microsoft said it had over 20 million paid seats for the work-centric Copilot, or 4% of the cloud-based Office customer base.
WATCH: We see Microsoft accelerating growth in next few years, says Wolfe's Zukin
AMD weekly chart shows recent failed breakout of rising channel and drop back into channel. Source: TradingView Bounce Potential Meets Overhead Resistance An upside target for a bounce is near the 20-day moving average around $533.67 and the lower channel boundary. Traders will be watching for signs of resistance followed by weakness, to consider short positions given the potential for further downside. Of course, a sustained advance above the 20-day moving average would be a sign of strengthening rather than weakening. A recovery above that level would begin to challenge the bearish setup and suggest that the breakdown may have been a temporary shakeout.
Longer-Term Support Zone Comes into View There is a confluence zone near the 50% retracement zone of the prior advance at $386.05, which defines a key lower target zone. It is joined by a higher swing low and the bottom of the rising channel at $393.36. The 20-week moving average is now nearby at $385.59. If the current weakness develops into a deeper correction, this area becomes an important longer-term test of whether AMD’s broader uptrend remains intact.

Boeing (BA 1.73%) delivered 64 commercial airplanes in June, bringing its second-quarter total to 171 jets and its first-half total to 314 -- the company's best first half since 2018. For a plane maker still working its way back to consistent profitability, that delivery pace is the single most important input into the second-quarter results Boeing will report on Tuesday, July 28.
Deliveries matter this much because of how Boeing gets paid. The company collects the bulk of an airplane's purchase price when it hands the jet to the customer, so every additional delivery brings in more cash.
The second quarter's 171 commercial deliveries included 129 737s and 25 787s. And output has been climbing for more than a year. Boeing delivered 130 airplanes in the first quarter of 2025, 143 in this year's first quarter, and now 171 in the second quarter.
Image source: Boeing.
The trend investors should care about Boeing's first-quarter report showed why the ramp matters. Revenue rose 14% year over year to $22.2 billion.
The company's core (non-GAAP) loss per share narrowed to $0.20 from $0.49 a year earlier. And free cash flow, while still negative at $1.5 billion, was an improvement from a $2.3 billion outflow in the year-ago quarter.
Losses shrinking and cash flow improving, quarter after quarter, is the entire investment story here -- and it runs on deliveries.
The second quarter added 28 more deliveries than the first. If Boeing's per-plane economics held steady, that higher volume should translate into a smaller loss and better cash flow when the company reports.

Investors should also listen for any word on production rates. Boeing has been ramping up its 737 production to 47 jets per month, up from 42, with the concurrence of the Federal Aviation Administration. That higher rate raises the delivery ceiling for 2027 and beyond.
There's a backlog reason to care, too. Boeing ended the first quarter with a record $695 billion in total backlog, including more than 6,100 commercial airplanes. The company doesn't have a demand problem. It has a production problem, which is why every month of higher output works directly on the constraint that has been holding the business back.
Of course, a good report isn't guaranteed. Tariffs, supplier issues, or new charges on defense programs could still spoil the quarter, as such charges have in years past. But the delivery data is the best preview investors get ahead of the report, and it points in one direction.
Free cash flow is where the delivery ramp either shows up or doesn't. If Boeing posts a positive figure on July 28, its recovery story gets its proof.
Boeing (BA - Free Report) closed at $214.34 in the latest trading session, marking a -1.73% move from the prior day. The stock's change was less than the S&P 500's daily loss of 0.51%. Meanwhile, the Dow experienced a drop of 0.2%, and the technology-dominated Nasdaq saw a decrease of 1.47%.
The airplane builder's shares have seen a decrease of 3.33% over the last month, not keeping up with the Aerospace sector's loss of 2.93% and the S&P 500's gain of 0.53%.
The investment community will be paying close attention to the earnings performance of Boeing in its upcoming release. The company is slated to reveal its earnings on July 28, 2026. It is anticipated that the company will report an EPS of -$0.29, marking a 76.61% rise compared to the same quarter of the previous year. Our most recent consensus estimate is calling for quarterly revenue of $23.96 billion, up 5.31% from the year-ago period.
For the entire fiscal year, the Zacks Consensus Estimates are projecting earnings of -$0.27 per share and a revenue of $96.83 billion, representing changes of +97.46% and +8.23%, respectively, from the prior year.
It's also important for investors to be aware of any recent modifications to analyst estimates for Boeing. These revisions typically reflect the latest short-term business trends, which can change frequently. Consequently, upward revisions in estimates express analysts' positivity towards the business operations and its ability to generate profits.
Research indicates that these estimate revisions are directly correlated with near-term share price momentum. To exploit this, we've formed the Zacks Rank, a quantitative model that includes these estimate changes and presents a viable rating system.

Netflix forecast third-quarter revenue and earnings on Thursday that fell short of Wall Street targets and said it would cut the frequency of viewing-hours reports as the company seeks new avenues of growth.
Shares of Netflix fell nearly 8.6% in after-hours trading to $67.99.
The company led by Co-CEOs Ted Sarandos and Greg Peters said it expected $12.86 billion in revenue from July through September and diluted earnings per share of 82 cents. Analysts had forecast $13 billion in revenue and diluted EPS of 84 cents, according to LSEG.
Netflix’s headquarters in Hollywood, California. Weston Hancock/SOPA Images/Shutterstock After years of rapid subscriber gains, Netflix is working to grow by building advertising, live events and video games. The company’s stock has lost about a fifth of its value this year as investors question how it will sustain growth.
Third-quarter projections “appear to reflect a combination of management caution and a naturally maturing growth profile, rather than any sudden deterioration in the business,” PP Foresight analyst Paolo Pescatore said. He added that they would “reinforce the view that Netflix remains strong but is entering a steadier phase of growth with considerably less room for error given the always-high expectations.”
Netflix said it would cut its twice-yearly release of a viewing-hours report to once a year starting in January 2027 “to keep the focus on our primary financial metrics — revenue and operating profit.” It stopped publishing quarterly subscriber numbers in 2025.
For the just-ended quarter, Netflix revenue and EPS were roughly in line with analyst estimates. Earnings per share came in at 80 cents for the three-month period, which featured hits including crime drama “I Will Find You” and animated feature “Swapped.” Revenue totaled $12.56 billion.
“Our financial performance remains solid and we’re on track to meet our objectives for the year,” the company said in its quarterly letter to shareholders.
In April, Netflix said it had more than 325 million paying members and still had room to increase that number.
The company is building an advertising business and offering video games, two initiatives still in the early stages. It repeated an earlier forecast that ad revenue would reach $3 billion by the end of the year. The company is counting on its growing number of live events, including an expanded NFL slate, to draw more advertising dollars.
Netflix is facing competition from all corners of the entertainment industry, from traditional media companies such as Walt Disney to YouTube, and mobile viewing on apps such as TikTok. Above, Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos. REUTERS On a post-earnings video, Peters said the company was considering whether to offer a free option with advertising in some markets but had no near-term plans to launch one.
Netflix said engagement, or the amount of time people spend watching the service, was “healthy.” Viewing hours grew by 2% in the first half of the year, compared with 1.5% a year ago.
It said it aimed to stay ahead of the competition in part by using technology to improve all aspects of its business. Use of generative artificial intelligence by producers is “scaling quickly” and has been used in about 300 titles, mostly in post-production, the company said.
Netflix has an engagement problem. So it's going to stop talking about it as much.

Chief Correspondent covering media and technology
Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos is walking away from the company's practice of releasing viewer data twice a year. Kevin Dietsch/Getty Images Wall Street worries that Netflix has a problem with engagement — an issue you can see in the audience numbers the streaming giant periodically releases.
No problem, says Netflix: It will deal with that problem by … releasing audience numbers less often.
Netflix says it is going to stop putting out its "What We Watched" report — a voluminous data dump that details viewership for thousands of individual shows and movies — twice a year, as it has been doing since December 2023, and just did Thursday.
Instead, it is going to provide the information once a year.
Why? The company is relatively candid about this in the investor letter it released Thursday afternoon: It wants Wall Street to stop focusing on the performance of its shows and movies.
"The goal of separating the publication of the report from our earnings results is to keep the focus on our primary financial metrics — revenue and operating profit," the company said.
The flip side to that argument: If Netflix felt good about its engagement numbers, it would share them more often.
If you are a close Netflix observer, this move will have a familiar echo. In April 2024, Netflix announced it would no longer release subscriber data every quarter. And it used a similar rationale: It wanted Wall Street to stop paying attention to subscriber data and focus on other metrics instead.
Here, it's important to note that Netflix isn't required to release either data sets, at all. And that many of its competitors — including YouTube, its most formidable foe — provide very little data about their services.
So even though the company has become meaningfully less transparent over the last couple years, it still leads its peer set, by a lot. And while some of the impetus in releasing viewership numbers is to impress Wall Street, it isn't the only reason. Netflix also uses those numbers to woo Hollywood talent who worry their shows and movies may get lost amid all the streamer's offerings.
But the most important context here is the obvious one: Netflix has been getting grief from analysts and investors about worrying trends evident from the data that it has been putting out. The main one: Netflix subscribers appear to be spending less time with Netflix content than they have in the past.
And this month, Bloomberg highlighted that issue — using data directly from Netflix — with a report that showed that some of Netflix's biggest shows are seeing a steep drop-off in their second seasons.
Netflix has multiple answers to engagement worriers. It says that its engagement numbers are actually good, for starters. And on the company's earnings call on Thursday, co-CEO Ted Sarandos insisted that the company's second-season drop-offs are much less than its peers, for instance.
More broadly, the company has been arguing for a while that "quality of engagement" matters more than sheer tonnage. "As we've developed an increasingly sophisticated understanding of how consumers ascribe value to our service, we know not all hours are equal," the company said in its investor letter.
Still, you can tell Netflix is quite sensitive about the engagement issue: The word "engagement" shows up 13 times in Thursday's investor letter.
I don't know whether Wall Street will care about any of this. For years, investors obsessed about Netflix subscriber numbers — so much so that every other entrant in the streaming wars went out of their way to boast about their subscriber numbers. Then Netflix moved on, and investors seemed to move on, too.
But in the last year, Netflix stock has performed miserably, down 40%. A big chunk of that decline came from investors who worried about Netflix's plan to buy Warner Bros. Discovery for $83 billion — partly because they didn't like the idea of Netflix laying out that much cash and taking on debt, and partly because of the suggestion that Netflix felt it needed to spend that much to goose growth again.
But even though Netflix ended up walking away from that deal, it didn't solve its stock problem. Maybe this will help.
