American Airlines Puts 23,000 Football Seats in Play—But the Real Challenge Starts Post-Kickoff

American Airlines to Pause Pittsburgh-LA Route Starting June 3

American Airlines is set to suspend its daily nonstop flight between Pittsburgh and Los Angeles for about two months, from Aug. 5 to Oct. 4. The cut removes one of the key West Coast routes out of Pittsburgh International Airport. Airport spokesman Bob Kerlik pointed to high jet fuel costs as the reason for the change. Pittsburgh made the Los Angeles route a three-carrier market. American, United Airlines, and Breeze Airways each have nonstop flights. For June, there are 17 weekly flights listed and a scheduled flight time close to five hours and 20 minutes.

Trump AI order gives OpenAI, Google and Anthropic 30 days on new models

Trump AI order gives OpenAI, Google and Anthropic 30 days on new models

Trump wants advanced U.S. AI models to go through a voluntary federal cyber-review, giving agencies up to 30 days to test new systems for security issues before they go to outside partners. The order tells top AI developers to let the government see some models early, as companies push to launch AI that could spot or exploit software bugs. AI’s shift into cyber operations has raised the stakes on timing. “Frontier models”—what the industry calls its strongest AI systems—are now rated on more than text and code generation. Companies are looking at whether these models can spot holes in critical infrastructure, including banks, hospitals and power grids, and other key systems countries depend on.
SoFi Shares Active Premarket After AI Coach Renews Debate on Growth Strategy

SoFi Shares Active Premarket After AI Coach Renews Debate on Growth Strategy

SoFi Technologies shares were down in early pre-market trading Wednesday, following the company’s rollout of an artificial intelligence financial coach on Tuesday. The digital lender said the new tool is part of its plan to get more users on its app and expand its financial-services offerings. Shares changed hands at $17.58 in pre-market trade as of 5:00 a.m. ET, off 0.9% from the last close at $17.74. Pre-market is a thinner session before the open, and prices can move quickly when regular trading kicks in.
HPE Shares Surge, Attention Turns to Next Steps After AI Rally

HPE Shares Surge, Attention Turns to Next Steps After AI Rally

Hewlett Packard Enterprise Company shares slipped in early premarket action Wednesday, trimming some of Tuesday’s AI-fueled surge as investors parsed the company’s latest earnings for clues on growth. The stock jumped 19.5% to close at $56.15 Tuesday. Ahead of the bell, shares were quoted down 1.5% to $55.30 a little after 4 a.m. in New York. NYSE regular trading was still hours away, with the opening bell at 9:30 a.m. ET on a standard U.S. trading day. Why does this matter? HPE isn’t just seen as an old-school enterprise hardware stock anymore. Now, investors are trading it on the AI-infrastructure story, with demand for servers, networking equipment and storage to support AI workloads.
Corning shares move after AI news

Corning shares move after AI news

Corning stock surged Tuesday, undoing its loss from Monday, as buyers moved into names related to optical connections in AI data centers. The shares were last at $200.40, up $23.66. More than 18 million shares changed hands. AI plays are broadening. It’s no longer just chip stocks getting bought. Now investors are also picking up shares tied to data center hardware—pipes, glass, switches, connectors that move data among the many GPUs in big server farms. That shift is what made the move stand out.

Tesla shares bounce on China sales jump, robot efforts face fresh challenges

Tesla shares bounce on China sales jump, robot efforts face fresh challenges

Tesla shares gained 1.9% to $423.74 in post-market trading Tuesday, recouping some ground after falling 4.6% Monday. Investors reacted as new data out of China and Europe made the demand case look clearer than on Monday. Tesla’s stock still relies on more than just car sales. Investors are pricing in not only electric vehicles but also hope for self-driving software, robotaxis and humanoid robots. Delays carry a high cost, with competition getting tougher in those areas.
Legend Biotech Stock Jumps on Full Response in Small Trial as Traders React Quickly

Legend Biotech Stock Jumps on Full Response in Small Trial as Traders React Quickly

Legend Biotech shares jumped over 35% midday Tuesday in New York after the company released early data on a new blood-cancer drug that attempts to generate cancer-fighting immune cells inside patients. The stock was last at $34.48, close to its session peak of $35.33, with trading volume well above normal. LB2501 is being watched because it's an “in vivo” CAR-T treatment. CAR-T—chimeric antigen receptor T-cell—typically requires removing immune cells, changing them outside the body, then returning them to fight cancer. Here the work is done inside the patient, or in vivo.

Opendoor Trades Higher on Russell 3000 Index Move

Opendoor Trades Higher on Russell 3000 Index Move

Opendoor Technologies Inc. climbed about 4.9% to $5.57 by midday Tuesday, with more than 34.9 million shares traded. Investors kept eyes on the company before its expected addition to the Russell 3000 Index. The stock opened at $5.25 and touched $5.58 at its session high. Timing is key. The Russell reconstitution is in its June lead-up, with stocks heading into the reshuffle. Names added to the big benchmarks can see demand from passive funds tracking the indexes, which need to match their holdings to the new lists.
QQQM’s $835 Million AI Wave Meets a Zscaler Reality Check

QQQM’s $835 Million AI Wave Meets a Zscaler Reality Check

Invesco’s Nasdaq-100 ETF QQQM edged higher Tuesday, helped by fresh inflows and gains in Nvidia, even as Zscaler slid nearly 9% and reminded investors that the AI trade is not moving in one clean line. QQQM traded at $306.54, up 0.2%, while the larger Invesco QQQ Trust rose 0.2%; Zscaler was down 8.9% at $141.90. The move matters now because investors are still putting money into concentrated growth funds even after several sharp stock-level reversals. TipRanks reported that QQQM had risen 1.09% over the past week and took in $835.44 million over five days, citing sentiment around large AI-linked holdings including Nvidia, Apple and Microsoft.
Wall Street’s Record Run Faces AI Test as Alphabet Moves

Wall Street’s Record Run Faces AI Test as Alphabet Moves

Stocks in the U.S. hovered close to record highs Tuesday. A drop in Alphabet, after its $80 billion equity-raising plan, held back gains from another move higher in artificial-intelligence hardware stocks. S&P 500 edged up 0.02% to 7,601.50, with the Nasdaq Composite adding 0.07% at 27,105.89. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 0.07% to 51,041.29, according to LSEG numbers on Reuters’ U.S. markets page. Reuters said both the S&P 500 and Nasdaq had slipped earlier after a string of record highs.
HIVE Stock Sees 158% Revenue Surge, Big Tasks Ahead

HIVE Stock Sees 158% Revenue Surge, Big Tasks Ahead

HIVE Digital Technologies shares traded higher in early Nasdaq action Tuesday, with the Bitcoin miner and AI infrastructure name posting higher full-year revenue. A rough fourth quarter and lower Bitcoin put a lid on the move. The stock last changed hands at $4.89, up 13 cents. Volume was 15.7 million, and the shares moved between $4.18 and $4.93. HIVE’s push to pitch itself as more than a Bitcoin miner is running up against market realities. The company is talking up its AI computing rental business to investors, but that case is landing just as Bitcoin dropped 4.5% to $68,550. That’s a hit for miners like HIVE, who still rely on crypto for much of their revenue.
Intel Stock Slips After Big AI Reveal as Wall Street Looks for Proof

Intel Stock Slips After Big AI Reveal as Wall Street Looks for Proof

Intel shares pointed lower before the U.S. open on Tuesday after the chipmaker used Computex to pitch a broader artificial-intelligence push, a muted reaction that showed investors still want evidence the plan can turn into orders and margin recovery. Intel closed Monday at $109.33, down 4.67%, and was quoted at $107.86 in premarket trade at 8:40:46 a.m. ET, off 1.34%. The timing matters. Intel is trying to shift the market’s focus from its long manufacturing turnaround to a more immediate claim: that AI inference, the work of running trained models, can lift demand for central processing units, or CPUs, alongside the graphics chips that have led the AI boom.
XRP Drops Below $1.30, Eyes $1.20 As Next Level

XRP Drops Below $1.30, Eyes $1.20 As Next Level

XRP slid under $1.30 Tuesday, setting new 15-week lows as heavy selling in bitcoin pushed big crypto tokens lower and traders watched support at $1.26. CoinDesk reported XRP dropped below the level on the day’s highest volume, adding to its stretch of lower highs and lows. $1.30 gave way after holding up for weeks, a level traders had leaned on. The break is more than just another down day for XRP—it puts the price at risk of sliding further. Now, traders have eyes on $1.2650-$1.2670 as the next support zone, with $1.20 on the radar if sellers keep up the pressure.

Rigetti Draws Trader Interest With Quantum Advance, Insider Selling Also in Focus

Rigetti Draws Trader Interest With Quantum Advance, Insider Selling Also in Focus

Rigetti Computing traded slightly higher ahead of Tuesday’s open, with the stock near where it’s been lately as the market looked at a new quantum computing milestone and recently reported executive stock sales. Shares were last sitting at $25.63, up 0.3% in premarket action. Regular Nasdaq trading hours are 9:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. ET. Timing is key here. Rigetti is among the small group of pure-play quantum stocks trading on public markets, with its value tied more to progress in hardware than to near-term profit. The company’s path depends on hitting technical milestones. Quantum error correction — tech to spot and fix errors in delicate quantum work — is at the heart of getting machines to run useful jobs for longer.
OpenAI Faces New Valuation Hurdle in $1 Trillion IPO Push

OpenAI’s $1 Trillion IPO Target Takes a New Twist

Anthropic said Monday it has filed a confidential draft registration for an IPO, turning up the heat on OpenAI in the race to a Wall Street debut. Anthropic hasn’t decided on the number of shares or price yet, but the move lets it go public once the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission wraps its review. OpenAI was seen as a likely contender among the first frontier AI companies to test public-market appetite. But Reuters said Anthropic's confidential IPO filing puts it ahead of OpenAI, with investors now looking at whether private AI valuations nearing $1 trillion hold up to audited numbers.

Credo Shares Slip After Earnings Beat

Credo Shares Slip After Earnings Beat

Credo Technology shares dropped over 10% in after-hours trading Monday. The company, which supplies AI data-center connectivity, topped Wall Street’s quarterly profit and revenue targets, but that wasn’t enough after the stock’s big rally. Credo ended regular trade off 4.2% at $226.10, then was quoted at $203.22 after hours by MarketBeat at 4:42 p.m. ET. Credo is a high-expectation stock in the hardware space powering artificial intelligence systems. The company makes chips, active electrical cables and optical gear that help shift data between servers, switches and optical modules. That's a behind-the-scenes job but important for making big GPU clusters work smoothly.
