Meta’s $9 Trillion Market Cap Bet Runs Into Fresh Legal Risk

Meta’s $9 Trillion Market Cap Bet Runs Into Fresh Legal Risk

Meta Platforms is linking fresh stock options for six top executives to a staggering share price target—enough to vault the company’s market cap over $9 trillion by 2031. It’s a bet pinned on the company’s AI ambitions, and one of the boldest compensation plays in the tech sector. This comes on the heels of two jury defeats tied to child safety and social media addiction that spooked investors and sent shares tumbling last week.

Nvidia Stock Hits 7-Year Valuation Low Even as New AI Orders Roll In

Nvidia Stock Hits 7-Year Valuation Low Even as New AI Orders Roll In

Nvidia Corp’s forward price-to-earnings ratio has slumped to its lowest point since early 2019—a striking reversal for the chipmaker that has become the face of Wall Street’s AI enthusiasm. Shares sit nearly 20% off the October record, and right now, the stock is trading at about 19.6 times projected 12-month earnings. That’s just under the S&P 500’s multiple, which hovers near 20. The gap stands out, considering analysts expect Nvidia’s profits to jump more than 70% this fiscal year. For the S&P 500, that number is closer to 19%.

India Bank Holidays This Week: Why March-End Closures Could Delay Some Salary Credits

Indian bank customers are heading into a run of holidays stretching through early April.

Stock Market Crash Fears Rise as Oil, Bond Yields and Volatility Hit Wall Street at Once

Crash chatter has only picked up as Wall Street gears up for Monday's open, with Friday’s sharp drop dragging both the Dow and Nasdaq into correction territory—each now off at least 10% from their recent peaks. The S&P 500 sits just a shade above that threshold, down a little over 1% away. U.S. stock futures ticked a bit higher early Monday, but after five consecutive weeks in the red, it hardly looked like anyone was breathing easy just yet.

Coherent Corp back in focus after Nvidia deal as exec says pact will aid wider AI data-center push

Coherent Corp wrapped up Friday at $243.48, barely moving after a tough session for U.S. stocks.

Steve Rummel, the company’s senior vice president of engineered materials, told the crowd the agreement “really cements the partnership” and argued it would “support the whole industry.” The Pennsylvania event drew attention from data center, power and manufacturing players.

  • Dollar Finds Support Above Recent Lows as Inflation, Middle East News Weigh
    July 16, 2026, 2:40 AM EDT. The dollar edged off one-month lows, getting a lift from U.S. inflation data that reinforced bets against a July Fed hike. Producer prices surprised with a drop in June, signaling softer inflation ahead of renewed Gulf tensions. The dollar index was last up at 100.48 after sliding 0.8% in two days. Oil and Middle East risks kept traders wary about inflation, capping the dollar's losses. Euro and sterling stuck close to multi-week highs, while AUD and NZD lost ground after recent gains. Fed hike odds for July fell to just 10%, but chances for September and December moved higher. South Korea raised rates to battle inflation as the region kept tightening.
