Tower Semiconductor (NASDAQ:TSEM) jumps 11% as chips recover

Tower Semiconductor closed up 11.24% at $255.49 on Tuesday after it said it will expand its capacity in Japan, backed by $1 billion in government support. Tower is now aiming for $1.2 billion in net profit in 2028, up from its previous goal of $750 million—a boost of 60%. While the shares jumped, that new target is still more than five times the stock's move, making the shares look cheaper by this measure.

Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) Heads for $40 Billion Cash-Conversion Mark on July 29

Microsoft heads toward its July 29 earnings with bulls saying the recent drop and lower valuation may clear the way for a bounce. The question is how quickly AI demand will show up in cash flow versus heavy spending. Management projects Q4 capital expenditures of more than $40 billion with revenue between $86.7 billion and $87.8 billion. That puts capex at least 45.8% of sales, using the midpoint. The market wants evidence.

Dow Jones live: Small decline masks 936 points of single-stock swings

The Dow Jones Industrial Average slipped 96.05 points, or 0.18%, to 52,402.59 at 11:55 a.m. EDT on Tuesday, but the modest loss hid a much larger fight inside the index. International Business Machines, Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan Chase produced about 936 points of gross movement — gains and losses counted before they offset — based on near-noon share prices. The headline move understated the churn.
Nokia shares jumped on €5.5B defense-AI news—Ericsson moves in focus

Nokia Faces 72% H2 Profit Hurdle as Ericsson Flags AI Costs

Nokia Oyj’s shares slipped 2.5% to €10.30 in Helsinki at 16:44 EEST after investors reacted to a cost warning from Ericsson. The AI-driven rally is under the microscope, as nearly 75% of the company’s consensus comparable operating profit for the year is still to be generated in the back half. Focus has shifted—demand isn’t the main concern now.

Super Micro Stock Looks Cheap—Until a Potential 28% Share-Count Hit Enters the Math

Super Micro Computer shares fell 3.2% to $27.41 in afternoon trading on Monday, below the $27.50 price set for its June common-stock offering. At 13.2 times trailing earnings, the stock looks inexpensive. Yet the base preferred conversion and a fully used $1.25 billion stock-sale program could add 24.6% to 28.1% to an illustrative pro forma basic share count, based on the offering terms and Monday’s price.

Apple’s iPhone 18 Pro price could jump $200, even as margins stay tight

Apple Inc. may have to bump up the average price of its next Pro Max phone by around $200 to cover higher costs, and even then could see a slightly lower gross margin compared to last year’s model, a Counterpoint Research estimate shows. The research firm is projecting the bill of materials for the 12GB, 1TB iPhone 18 Pro Max will go up by almost $300, before assembly, shipping or marketing.

AT&T (NYSE:T) 12% free-cash-flow yield draws fire as Starlink tests pricing

AT&T Inc. closed at $21.30 Tuesday. Shares are up 0.8% over two days, even as Bernstein cut its price target 17% on Starlink risks. The company has a market cap close to $150 billion. AT&T’s latest outlook calls for at least $18 billion in free cash flow in 2026, which works out to about a 12% free-cash-flow yield and covers the current dividend around 2.3 times. Most of that is from the discount.

AtaiBeckley Inc. (NASDAQ:ATAI) stock jumps as FDA staffing guidance spotlights BPL-003’s two-hour edge

AtaiBeckley Inc. shares climbed 15.6% to about $5.75 in Tuesday afternoon trading as investors weighed final U.S. Food and Drug Administration guidance for psychedelic-drug trials. The document expects two monitors to remain with a patient throughout a treatment session, making BPL-003’s roughly two-hour clinic model more relevant to operating costs. Duration is now a cost variable.
