US stock futures set for gains ahead of July 4; chip selloff masks broader move

U.S. stock investors go into the long weekend without the usual premarket session, as exchanges stay closed for Independence Day observed. The last read on futures had buyers stepping in after a weaker jobs report eased worries about a Fed rate hike soon. U.S. stock and bond markets are shut Friday and regular trading starts back up Monday, July 6. The Dow finished at a record, but the bigger story was the split between index price and market breadth. On Thursday, the S&P 500 closed little changed, but over two-thirds of its stocks traded higher. The Nasdaq slipped as traders reduced chip bets. That leaves Monday looking less like a typical risk-on move and more like a check on whether

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.

OpenAI proposal could hand $42.6 billion in AI equity to U.S. government

OpenAI proposal could hand $42.6 billion in AI equity to U.S. government

OpenAI has reportedly offered the U.S. government a 5% stake, which at the company’s latest $852 billion valuation would value the holding at $42.6 billion. That potential piece would be bigger than most recent direct government stakes in U.S. companies and could be key for IPO buyers to watch. OpenAI in March said it closed $122 billion in committed capital. The Financial Times said the proposal would push other U.S. AI firms to offer similar stakes to a fund based on the Alaska Permanent Fund. The Guardian reported the talks are at an early, conceptual stage and may need Congress to act. Reuters was not able to verify the FT story, and said Alphabet’s Google would not comment.

Avis Budget (NASDAQ:CAR) stock pop lines up with $650M settlement value per share

Avis Budget Group, Inc. jumped Thursday. A new credit filing gave the market a direct look at the $650 million Pentwater settlement. The cash is big enough to matter for equity holders, but some lenders already included much of it in debt paperwork. The shares traded at $163.44, up $16.55, or 11.3%. At that price, Avis was worth roughly $5.77 billion. Given the share price and market cap, the $650 million settlement works out to about $18.40 per share. The stock’s gain Thursday covered about 90% of that figure.
