BlackBerry (TSX:BB) gains put focus on buyback math and valuation after QNX update

BlackBerry (NYSE:BB; TSE:BB) rally pauses as note conversion faces test

BlackBerry Limited shares dropped sharply Thursday, but the daily move wasn’t the whole story. The recent rally has brought the company’s convertible notes into focus as investors rethink the valuation for its QNX embedded systems business. BlackBerry’s U.S. shares were at $11.68 as of 11:54 a.m. EDT, off $1.13 from the previous close. The stock opened at $12.75 and touched $13.00 earlier in the session. Trading volume reached 28.4 million shares. That’s under the 43.7 million average from Google Finance, but still kept BlackBerry active ahead of the U.S. holiday break.

AMD (NASDAQ:AMD) edges lower as market looks at $1 trillion CPU potential

AMD (NASDAQ:AMD) edges lower as market looks at $1 trillion CPU potential

Shares of Advanced Micro Devices slipped Thursday, despite more bullish price targets from big Wall Street firms. The market is debating whether AMD’s AI value still sits with its CPUs instead of GPUs. The stock fell 3.5% to $521.78 in late-morning trading in the U.S., giving it a market cap of about $861.4 billion and a trailing P/E ratio of 171.2, based on the latest quote. It closed at a record $580.91 on June 30, putting its market value close to $947 billion, according to Barron’s.

Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) shares up, leaving little margin for error on AI upgrade story

Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) shares up, leaving little margin for error on AI upgrade story

Apple Inc. jumped 3.9% to $305.81 at about 10:50 a.m. in New York, tacking on around $168 billion in market value. That move cut against the broader tape: Invesco QQQ Trust slipped 0.8%, while SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust traded up 0.2%. The focus is on the gap here—Apple is being pushed back toward its June highs even as fresh survey data raises doubts about whether AI features are making iPhone owners upgrade any faster. UBS analyst David Vogt wrote Thursday that roughly 24% of survey respondents now say they would upgrade sooner due to Apple Intelligence, a drop of 500 basis points from the last six months. At the same time, about 31% reported the new features have no impact, up 300 basis points. UBS added that iPhone purchase intent in China slipped to around 15%. The average iPhone age in the installed base remains high at about 22.9 months.

Nokia (HEL:NOKIA) shares drop as FMR cuts stake below 5% ahead of Q2

Nokia (HEL:NOKIA) shares drop as FMR cuts stake below 5% ahead of Q2

Nokia Oyj dropped in Thursday’s midday trading in Helsinki, heading lower even as the overall market stayed firm, after new filings revealed FMR LLC’s stake slipped under the 5% voting-rights threshold. The move comes with three weeks to go before Nokia’s Q2 report. Nasdaq says Helsinki stocks trade 10:00–18:30 local time. As of 15:02 EEST, Google Finance had Nokia at 11.14 euros, down 2.15%. The gap is notable since Nokia dropped about 2% on Thursday even as the local market was higher. Trading Economics had the Helsinki index up 0.19% and the Helsinki 25 up 0.41% on July 2.

EchoStar Dish bankruptcy raises questions on $3.6 billion wireless claim shortfall

EchoStar Dish bankruptcy raises questions on $3.6 billion wireless claim shortfall

EchoStar’s looming bankruptcy issue goes beyond the $2 billion note coming due. The market focus is now on the $2.4 billion FCC trust compared to over $6 billion in 5G shutdown claims that are being disputed. Numbers from the court filings suggest a gap of more than $3.6 billion, topping 12% of EchoStar’s current market cap. Dish DBS and units filed for a prepackaged bankruptcy on June 30. Over 88% of secured and unsecured noteholders, who also hold more than $8.8 billion in Dish Wireless debt, agreed to the restructuring plan, according to the company. Dish DBS said it needed to file because the AT&T deal hadn't closed, so it didn't have the liquidity to pay the July 1 notes and meet other obligations.

UiPath (NYSE:PATH) rally sticks as ARR focus moves weight to H2

UiPath (NYSE:PATH) rally sticks as ARR focus moves weight to H2

UiPath Inc. traded at about $11.55 ahead of Thursday’s open. That’s near MarketBeat’s $11.60 extended-hours quote from 6:31 a.m. EDT. Shares climbed 6.1% in the regular session Wednesday. The NYSE hadn’t started core hours yet; official trading goes from 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Eastern, with Friday, July 3, set as the Independence Day observed holiday. The bigger challenge for investors isn’t the first-day stock reaction. It’s the renewal math. UiPath’s Q1 report put ARR at $1.901 billion as of April 30. Net new ARR for Q1 totaled $49 million. The company guided for July-quarter ARR between $1.929 billion and $1.934 billion, and sees fiscal 2027 ARR coming in between $2.058 billion and $2.063 billion. CEO Daniel Dines said the quarter was a “strong start,” pointing to agentic products shifting from pilot to production. Operating chief and CFO Ashim Gupta pointed to “operational discipline,” adding UiPath posted its first-ever GAAP profit for the first quarter.

Intel heads toward $646 billion mark following 9% chip slide

Intel Corporation goes into its July earnings priced more as a foundry and AI rebound play than as an earnings trade for the quarter. Intel shares finished Wednesday at $127.02, down 9.03%, trading around 110.8 million shares. The decline erased Tuesday’s 6.01% jump and put the stock 3.6% under Monday’s close, a smaller two-day move than the Wednesday fall alone. Historical data had Intel at $139.63 on June 30 and $127.02 on July 1.

Nasdaq under pressure with chip names lower; futures drift before jobs data

U.S. stock-index futures pointed to a mixed start Thursday. Dow and Russell 2000 futures edged up in early New York trading, but Nasdaq 100 futures slipped. Traders are watching for a jobs report that could shift rate hike bets ahead of a three-day break. Nasdaq’s premarket goes from 4:00 a.m. to 9:30 a.m. ET, and the regular session opens at 9:30 a.m. and ends at 4:00 p.m. ET. Traders didn’t focus on the S&P 500. The real action was in the splits underneath it. By about 5:48 a.m. EDT, Nasdaq 100 futures were off 0.35% while Russell 2000 futures ticked up 0.06%. Dow futures were slightly higher, gaining 0.04%. That left Nasdaq 100 futures 41 basis points below the Russell 2000 and 39 points under the Dow.

Reddit (NYSE:RDDT) shares surge $4.6 billion on AI deal before firm books licensing revenue

Reddit (NYSE:RDDT) shares surge $4.6 billion on AI deal before firm books licensing revenue

Reddit, Inc. heads into Thursday’s New York premarket with investors looking at the numbers: shares jumped 13.7% Wednesday, closing at $197.42. That move adds about $4.6 billion in equity value, based on MarketBeat’s listed $38.01 billion market cap. In its March-quarter filing, Reddit reported $120.6 million in performance obligations tied mostly to long-term content licensing contracts longer than a year. The gap matters as the stock is trading on future AI data renewal hopes, not what Reddit has already signed. If the new licensing deals don’t come in higher, investors are just getting a high-priced ad stock growing fast.

Verizon faces SpaceX-driven selloff after Dow exit, 12% cash-flow yield tested

Verizon Communications Inc. last changed hands at $41.99, off 0.8%. Traders treated the slow-growth dividend play as if it had fresh tech risk this week. Verizon’s market cap stood at $176.8 billion, with shares moving from $41.51 to $42.77 Wednesday. The bigger number isn’t the daily drop. Barron’s reported SpaceX’s threat erased $46 billion in market value from the top three U.S. carriers this week, with Verizon losing $20.25 billion. That’s about 11.5% of Verizon’s market cap, and nearly 94% of the $21.5 billion free cash flow it expects in 2026.

Nebius Group N.V. dropped sharply after Nasdaq's regular close, but the stock is still up 173.79% for the year. Trading volume was 175% of the 65-day average. MarketWatch put short interest at 50.93 million shares as of June 15, about 25.21% of the float. That kind of short interest can drive swings both ways, but it didn't stop the fall on Wednesday. Meta Platforms Inc. is working on a cloud business to sell its extra AI computing power, Reuters said, citing Bloomberg News. The plan is still being developed and could shift, according to the report. Meta didn’t comment. The move could put Meta in the supplier camp for companies that rent GPU capacity.

Micron (NASDAQ:MU) looks to big memory contracts as stock moves into new week

Micron (NASDAQ:MU) falls after GM contract, traders weigh AI memory bets

Micron Technology fell 9.8% to $1,041.12 as of 13:58 EDT, in delayed trading. The memory-chip company and General Motors announced a long-term supply agreement. Even so, shares sank $113.17 from Tuesday’s close, wiping around $130 billion from Micron’s value based on its quoted share count. That’s roughly 1.9 times GM’s total market cap. Micron took a hit, and that’s the story. The GM deal adds another buyer for Micron’s memory and storage over the long haul, but the market wants proof. The shares now bake in a tough bet—memory chips trading more like a contracted AI part and less like a classic boom-bust commodity.
