Anthropic is in talks to acquire Decart AI for roughly $6 billion, according to Bloomberg. The deal has not been finalized and could fall through, Bloomberg said.

Billionaire David Tepper Just Revealed His Single Largest Stock Holding. It’s Not NVIDIA

Nvidia's $500 Billion AI Gamble Raises the Stakes for NVDA Stock
This article first appeared on GuruFocus. Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) is expanding its role in the artificial intelligence industry by helping finance the infrastructure needed to support growing demand, with a $500 billion financing initiative involving major financial firms. The arrangement includes Goldman Sachs (NYSE:GS), BlackRock (NYSE:BLK), Blackstone (NYSE:BX), Apollo Global Management (APO) and other investors. Nvidia may provide financial backing for portions of projects, while debt financing would help customers obtain computing capacity. Warning! GuruFocus has detected 6 Warning Signs with GS. Is GS fairly valued? Test your thesis with our free DCF calculator. The strategy could create another channel for Nvidia revenue as financed projects purchase or lease its GPUs. The company reported $81 billion in quarterly revenue, an 85% increase from a year earlier, while its current-quarter forecast calls for $91 billion. Nvidia's market value has reached about $5.4 trillion, supported by its position in AI computing. The company's expanding financial relationships with AI firms and infrastructure providers could further strengthen its role across the sector. The scale of Nvidia's growth has also prompted debate over financing structures and potential risks. Investors will likely focus on whether rising AI infrastructure spending can continue generating sufficient returns as Nvidia expands beyond its traditional chip business. View Comments

CoreWeave Jumps 18% as AI Capacity Sells Out
This article first appeared on GuruFocus. CoreWeave Inc. (CRWV, Financials), the Nvidia-powered AI cloud infrastructure provider, jumped more than 18% in premarket trading after stronger forecasts reinforced expectations that demand for computing capacity remains extremely tight. Warning! GuruFocus has detected 4 Warning Signs with CRWV. Is CRWV fairly valued? Test your thesis with our free DCF calculator. The company raised its outlook for annual revenue, adjusted operating profit and capital spending. More importantly, CEO Michael Intrator said CoreWeave's near-term capacity is effectively sold out, allowing the company to negotiate new computing contracts on more favorable terms. Its revenue backlog climbed to $104.2 billion in the second quarter from $99.4 billion three months earlier. That figure does not include more than $25 billion of additional commitments secured early in the current quarter. The strength spilled across the AI infrastructure trade. Super Micro Computer rose nearly 9%, while Nebius gained about 10%. Applied Digital and IREN also moved higher. J.P. Morgan attributed CoreWeave's improving pricing largely to strong demand and better customer returns on AI spending. For investors, the message is clear: the AI buildout is still absorbing available capacity. The next question is whether CoreWeave can convert that enormous backlog into cash flow fast enough to justify its heavy capital spending. View Comments

CoreWeave Stock Surges Nearly 16% After Earnings, Analyst Says Old Nvidia GPUs Can 'Still Generate Revenue Nearly a Decade Later'
On Tuesday, CoreWeave Inc.(NASDAQ:CRWV) shares jumped nearly 16% in after-hours trading after its second-quarter results, with analyst Daniel Newman pointing to an extended Nvidia Corp(NASDAQ:NVDA) A100 contract as evidence that older AI GPUs may remain valuable far longer than expected. CoreWeave Stock Jumps After Strong Q2 Results CoreWeave reported second-quarter revenue of $2.58 billion, topping analysts' expectations of $2.56 billion, while its adjusted loss of $1.03 per share was narrower than the expected $1.22 loss. Revenue more than doubled from a year earlier, rising about 112.5%. The AI cloud provider also ended the quarter with a massive $104 billion revenue backlog, up more than threefold year over year. CoreWeave said the figure does not include more than $25 billion in additional customer commitments secured early in the third quarter. For the third quarter, CoreWeave expects revenue of $3.45 billion to $3.6 billion and capital expenditures of $11.5 billion to $13.5 billion.

CoreWeave edges past quarterly revenue estimates
Aug 11 (Reuters) - AI cloud company CoreWeave edged past Wall Street estimates for quarterly revenue on Tuesday, driven by strong demand for its computing services that power AI systems. Shares of the company were up more than 4% in extended trading. They have risen more than 22% so far this year. So-called neoclouds such as CoreWeave and peer Nebius, which offer hardware and cloud capacity to other technology companies, have seen demand skyrocket as a result of relentless enterprise spending on AI. CoreWeave, whose close ties with Nvidia have made it a key supplier of Nvidia's AI chips, has attracted several high-profile customers so far this year. It has signed cloud capacity agreements with Meta and Claude creator Anthropic. To meet the surging demand, CoreWeave has been ramping up infrastructure investments, which has put pressure on its profit margins. The company said its technology and infrastructure expenses surged 125% to $1.51 billion in the quarter. It reported total revenue of $2.58 billion for the second quarter ended June, compared with analysts' average estimate of $2.56 billion, according to data compiled by LSEG.

Microsoft New AI Chip Could Be a Big Win for Marvell and TSMC
This article first appeared on GuruFocus. Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) could soon give its in-house AI chip effort another test, with a potential Maia 300 launch drawing attention to Marvell Technology (NASDAQ:MRVL) and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing (NYSE:TSM). Wedbush Securities said a successful rollout could improve the outlook for suppliers involved in Microsoft's custom silicon program. Analyst Matt Bryson noted that Microsoft's hardware efforts may be reaching a stage where its chip designs could begin gaining more traction after several development cycles. Warning! GuruFocus has detected 3 Warning Sign with MSFT. Is MSFT fairly valued? Test your thesis with our free DCF calculator. Marvell could be among the companies with the most to gain if Microsoft places a sizable production order. Taiwan Semiconductor could also benefit because it is expected to provide manufacturing capacity for the chips. The Maia 300 may also add another competitor to Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) in AI inference, the process of running trained models to generate responses. Still, Wedbush expects limited near-term pressure on Nvidia, citing its ability to secure chip supplies. Media reports suggest Microsoft could introduce Maia 300 as early as this fall. The company has also discussed securing capacity for more than 300,000 chips for delivery in 2027, while Maia 200 debuted in January. View Comments

IBM Lands a $240 Million AI Inference Deal
This article first appeared on GuruFocus. International Business Machines Corp. (IBM, Financials), the enterprise technology company, signed a $240 million multi-year agreement with Together AI to build a large-scale artificial intelligence inference cluster on IBM Cloud. Warning! GuruFocus has detected 5 Warning Sign with AMZN. Is IBM fairly valued? Test your thesis with our free DCF calculator. The system will be constructed on the latest Blackwell processors, on Nvidia's HGX B300 hardware, and will have Spectrum-X networking. IBM is now in one of the fastest growing segments of the AI market directly. Inference, or the process of running trained models to generate answers and predictions, is becoming a significantly bigger driver of computer demand as firms take AI from testing into everyday use. Together AI is working on open-source models like DeepSeek, MiniMax and Kimi, which are cheaper to run than closed systems from big AI laboratories. For IBM, the transaction provides a method to convert that demand into recurrent cloud infrastructure revenue, rather than just selling software around AI. Nvidia wins here too, because the latest systems are still the core of the cluster. The next question is can transactions like these get big enough to boost IBM's cloud growth in a more meaningful direction. View Comments

Chasing NVIDIA? Western Digital May Be the Smarter AI Bet
With the rise of artificial intelligence (AI), NVIDIA Corporation NVDA has emerged as a prime beneficiary, with its shares soaring and helping the company surpass a $5-trillion market capitalization. The rally has been fueled by incessant demand for NVIDIA's advanced chips and CUDA software platform. Given NVIDIA's remarkable AI-driven growth, investors would be tempted to buy the stock. However, NVIDIA's gains have been subdued this year, up only 16.7%. Even though the broader tech sector has remained resilient, investors are increasingly concerned about a potential slowdown in AI spending and its impact on NVIDIA's earnings, which have so far remained phenomenal. Tighter restrictions on chip exports to China and stiff competition could also weigh on NVIDIA's growth trajectory. Against this not-so-encouraging backdrop, investors should consider other beneficiaries in the AI ecosystem, such as Western Digital Corporation WDC, whose shares have surged 154.5% this year and have further room to scale upward. Western Digital continues to benefit from AI-driven demand for high-capacity data storage. Let's explore in detail why Western Digital could be a smart buy now – WDC's AI Tailwinds and Earnings Growth Create Further Upside Western Digital recently reported revenues of $3.75 billion in the fiscal fourth quarter of 2026, up 44% from a year ago, according to the company's press release. The company's top-line growth isn't due to cost-cutting or acquisitions; it is primarily driven by strong demand for storage products. Further, the company expects revenues of $4.1 billion for the first quarter of fiscal 2027, plus or minus $100 million. At the midpoint, this would represent 42-49% year-over-year growth, indicating that revenue growth is expected to carry into fiscal 2027, and the robust performance reported last quarter wasn't just a temporary surge. As storage continues to become a strong component of the AI infrastructure buildout, Western Digital is poised to gain further. The company is therefore forecasting a healthy non-GAAP gross margin of 55-56% for the fiscal first quarter of 2027, up from 54.4% reported in the fiscal fourth quarter of 2026. Further, margin expansion, along with strong revenue growth, could enhance Western Digital's operating leverage, translating into faster growth in operating income and earnings. The company has generated a strong free cash flow of $1.28 billion in the fiscal fourth quarter of 2026, providing the company greater financial flexibility to reinvest in research and development, strengthen the balance sheet, and fund growth initiatives. Story Continues Hence, strong revenue growth, margin expansion and robust cash flow are expected to continue to boost Western Digital's earnings growth and support further upside in its share price. Brokers also see greater upside potential in Western Digital. The average short-term price target for WDC stock is $664.77, representing a 53.1% upside from its last closing price of $434.30. The highest price target stands at $1,050, suggesting a potential upside of 141.8%.Zacks Investment Research Image Source: Zacks Investment Research Therefore, it's prudent for investors to place bets on Western Digital at the current levels to capitalize on its upside potential. Consequently, the company's expected earnings growth rate for the current year is 84.4%. The Zacks Consensus Estimate of $18.85 for WDC's earnings per share is up 165.1% year over year.Zacks Investment Research Image Source: Zacks Investment Research Western Digital currently has a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy).

Trump says 401(k)s are up ‘double and triple’ as America enters golden age — are you all set to get rich?
Nathan Howard/ Getty Images Moneywise and Yahoo Finance LLC may earn commission or revenue through links in the content below. President Donald Trump says Americans' retirement accounts are enjoying a historic run — and he believes the best may still be ahead. During a recent interview with Fox News, Trump pointed to record stock prices, rising employment and a wave of new factory investment as evidence that the U.S. economy is firing on all cylinders. "We hit an all-time stock market high," Trump said (1). Must Read Jeff Bezos backs a platform that lets anyone invest in rental homes for as little as $100 — 6 ways to build wealth like a landlord without actually being one JPMorgan still sees gold hitting $5,000/oz by Q4 — and savvy investors are protecting their wealth with a tax-advantaged Gold IRA. Learn more with a free guide from Priority Gold The tax breaks in Trump's 'big beautiful bill' expire after 2028 — and experts say most people won't act in time. What to do before the window closes Then he turned to Americans' retirement savings. "401(k)s are the highest they've ever been by double and triple," he said. Trump did not explain precisely what he meant by "double and triple," and individual 401(k) returns vary widely depending on what workers own, when they began investing and how much they contribute. But his broader point was unmistakable: with stocks soaring to record highs, Americans who have stayed invested have had plenty to celebrate. The benchmark S&P 500 has gained about 29% since the beginning of Trump's second term, lifting retirement accounts along the way. According to Fidelity (2), the average 401(k) balance rose 11% from Q1 2025 to Q1 2026, reaching $141,000. Although a good boost, this doesn't qualify as double or triple. Vanguard (3) reported a similar trend, stating that "strong market performance in 2025 led directly to substantial increases in retirement accounts." Its average 401(k) balance rose 13% in 2025 to an all-time high of $167,970. And Trump believes the country is only beginning to feel the benefits of his economic agenda. "This is the GOLDEN AGE OF AMERICA, and we're just getting started," he wrote in a Truth Social post (4). 'America is WINNING!' Trump has been particularly bullish on one corner of the economy: manufacturing. "Manufacturing is BOOMING!" he wrote in the same post, pointing to U.S. factory activity reaching its fastest pace in more than four years. Exports are another area he has highlighted. "American Exports are on FIRE. U.S. Goods Exports have now topped 200 BILLION DOLLARS for the fifth consecutive month," he added. "We are on pace for nearly 2.5 TRILLION DOLLARS in Goods Exports this year — Numbers nobody thought possible just two years ago." Story Continues And once again, he pointed to Wall Street as evidence that investors are buying into the story. "The Stock Market is at an ALL TIME HIGH, and setting Record after Record because Investors know America is WINNING!" he wrote. For retirement savers, that raises a simple question: are you participating? Read More: Millionaires under 43 hold only 25% of their wealth in stocks. Here's where their money is actually going Put America's growth to work — start with free money For many Americans, building long-term wealth does not begin with identifying the next Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) or guessing which industry will benefit most from Trump's policies. It starts with taking full advantage of the benefits already available through the workplace. If your employer offers a 401(k) match, contributing enough to receive the full match is often one of the most attractive first steps. For example, an employer that matches contributions dollar for dollar up to a certain percentage of salary is effectively adding money to your retirement account whenever you contribute. That is why an employer match is often described as "free money" — and why many investors prioritize capturing it before moving on to other accounts. From there, investo

Fastino Labs Releases Two Specialized Open-Weight Models for Finance and Healthcare, Post-Trained on NVIDIA Nemotron 3.5 Lightning Entirely using an Agent
Fastino-Nemotron-3.5-Lightning-Finance and Fastino-Nemotron-3.5-Lightning-Healthcare, post-trained on Nemotron 3.5 Lightning by the Fastino Fine-Tuning Agent, are available on Hugging Face today under the Apache 2.0 license. Both models outperform the Nemotron 3.5 Lightning base model across a variety of finance and healthcare benchmarks, showing off both the ease of fine-tuning Nemotron and the power of doing it with the Fastino agent. The agent that post-trained them is also available today in private preview. PALO ALTO, Calif., Aug. 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Fastino Labs, the applied AI research lab and creator of the GLiNER model family, today announced specialised open weight models for finance and healthcare post-trained on NVIDIA Nemotron 3.5 Lightning.Fastino Labs logo Fastino developed Fastino-Nemotron-3.5-Lightning-Finance and Fastino-Nemotron-3.5-Lightning-Healthcare, two open-weight models post-trained on NVIDIA Nemotron 3.5 Lightning and available on Hugging Face today. Neither model was post-trained by a person. Both were post-trained end-to-end by the Fastino Fine-Tuning Agent, a fully autonomous autoresearch agent, which the company is also releasing today in private preview. The agent produced each model in less than ten hours, work a post-training team would have likely spent weeks on. The finance model lifts FinQA accuracy of the base model from 15.86% to 59.23%, with gains across five financial reasoning benchmarks while the healthcare model delivers verified gains on MEDEC and MedCalc-Bench and lifts performance on a total of eight medical benchmarks. Both models showed gains that transferred to related tasks they were never trained for, showing that the gains reflect genuine generalized domain capabilities rather than fitting to specific benchmarks. Models that excel in data sensitive domains Open models specialized for finance and healthcare remain scarce, and many are years old. The public FinQA leaderboard tracks three models, all proprietary. HealthBench's leaderboard is dominated by closed models. That leaves teams in the two domains with an unacceptable choice: using a general-purpose frontier model they cannot run on their own data, or doing nothing. Data privacy and governance have been holding LLM adoption back for high ROI use cases. The data that would most improve a model, whether filings, clinical notes, or internal financial metrics, is proprietary and tightly governed, and can rarely leave the environment it lives in. An open weight model that a team can fine-tune and run on its own infrastructure is how that team gets domain accuracy without giving up control of the data that produces it. Story Continues Both domains also have real headroom. Nemotron 3.5 Lightning already carries substantial financial and clinical knowledge. What post-training adds is the precision to improve it on an organization's proprietary data for their specific use case. Post-training without a research team The Fastino Fine-Tuning Agent is a fully autonomous autoresearch agent that takes a task description in plain language and runs the entire fine-tuning pipeline: researching the task and the current state-of-the-art, finding and curating training data, building an evaluation set before training begins, running multiple training configurations and data experiments in parallel, recovering from failed runs, testing its own work for data contamination, and delivering the highest accuracy checkpoint. In this case, the agent was tasked with building two models that would perform well across a wide range of finance and healthcare tasks. No Fastino research engineer had to select or generate the training data, or run a single fine-tuning experiment. Any training run comes down to three interlocking decisions: what data to train on, how to configure the run, and what supervision format to use. Those decisions cannot be separated, which is why a fixed parameter grid does not work and fine-tuning by hand takes weeks. The age

Nvidia (NVDA) Is Going Beyond GPUs in the $500 Billion AI Boom, Wells Fargo Says
NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA) just partnered with six major financial institutions on a $500 billion financing push for artificial intelligence infrastructure. The chipmaker said on Monday that it has signed memorandums of understanding with Apollo Global Management, Blackstone, BlackRock, Brookfield Asset Management, Goldman Sachs, and KKR to establish independent computing financing platforms for Nvidia's customers. Marking a major milestone for Nvidia and the AI industry, Chief Executive Officer Jensen Huang noted how the move will help bring the "world's leading long-term capital providers together to independently underwrite AI infrastructure." Major technology companies continue to ramp up AI investment, with total spending expected to surpass $730 billion this year. Following the news, Wells Fargo analyst Aaron Rakers reiterated an Overweight rating on the stock with a $315.00 price target. The Wall Street firm sees the financial partnership as proof that Nvidia is playing a bigger role in AI infrastructure build outs. However, the bigger story may extend well beyond another bullish analyst call. The Partnership Could Tackle the Financial Aspect Big tech has been spending hundreds of billions to fund the AI boom, while growing financial needs has turned Wall Street skeptical regarding the returns these investments will ultimately generate. No wonder Meta Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ:META) also recently announced a venture with asset manager BlackRock, Inc. (NYSE: BLK) to develop and operate a one gigawatt data center campus in El Paso, Texas. The Meta-BlackRock deal aims to ease some of Meta's funding pressures, similar to what Nvidia is trying to achieve with its recent financing effort. According to Wells Fargo, the new platforms would help Nvidia in long-duration financing tied to revenue, as well as sharing and usage, helping mobilize over $500 billion of 3rd-party capital for AI infrastructure build outs. Why is this distinction important? Simply because Nvidia isn't committing its own $500 billion but bringing large pools of institutional money into AI infrastructure. These financing platforms will not only enable customers to access compute resources at scale, but may potentially help Nvidia develop an evolving recurring revenue model. The Bigger Picture The Nvidia partnership isn't entirely risk free, and comes with its own financial and market hazards. Jim Zelter, Apollo Global Management President, has noted that the AI investment cycle will likely experience "excesses" and "pullbacks." Goldman Sachs CEO has also warned that some major companies may ultimately fail to live up to expectations. Story Continues The risk becomes noticeable considering Nvidia has the option to backstop 25% of each loan made through the program. This may expose its balance sheet to contingent liabilities, circular financing concerns, and even default exposure. Famed short-seller Michael Burry has also echoed some of the skepticism, arguing late last year how big tech companies may be extending the useful lives of AI hardware and therefore understating depreciation expenses. What the Hedge Fund Numbers Say Nvidia Corporation remains widely held among hedge funds. According to Insider Monkey's database, 275 hedge funds held stakes in NVDA, up from 264 in the previous quarter. Mega-cap peer Meta Platforms Inc. who is also heavily investing in AI infrastructure is slightly behind yet maintains substantial exposure with 262 hedge fund holdings, up from 256 in the prior quarter. The numbers suggest that despite growing concerns about the returns on massive AI spending, hedge funds continue to maintain substantial exposure to the companies positioned at different ends of the AI buildout. Overall, Nvidia's financing push is helping expand its role well beyond selling GPUs. However, investors need to watch if the AI chipmaker can eventually support a recurring revenue model.

The Distribution Rate is the annual rate an investor would receive if the most recent distribution remained the same going forward. The rate represents a single distribution from the fund and does not represent total return to the fund. The distribution rate is calculated by annualizing the most recent distribution and dividing it by the most recent NAV adjusted for corporate actions. 2The 30-Day SEC Yield represents the net investment income (excluding option income) earned by the ETF over the 30-day period endedJuly 31, 2026. It is expressed as an annualized percentage rate based on theETF's share price at the end of that period. 3Each GraniteShares Autocallable ETF seeks to generate potential monthly income by investing in a portfolio of single-stock autocallable options linked to the performance of its reference equity (such as Nvidia). The Fund may distribute income, where available, and will manage positions through a laddered approach and ongoing rolling. Distributions may vary and are not guaranteed, and the Fund remains subject to equity-linked downside risk. 4 ROCor Return of Capital indicates how much the distribution reflects an investor's initial investment and are determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles("GAAP"). The timing and character of distributions for federal income tax purposes are determined in accordancewith income tax regulations which may differ from GAAP. As such, the figures shown for each Fund in the table above are estimates based on the latest 19a1 forms and may later be determined to be taxable net investment income, short-term gains, long-term gains (to the extent permitted by law), or return of capital. Actual amounts and sources for tax reporting will depend upon the Fund's investment activities during the remainder of the fiscal year and may be subject to changes based on tax regulations. Your broker will send you a Form 1099-DIV for the calendar year to tell you how to report these distributions for federal income tax purposes.

Apollo Global Management (APO) Joins $500 Billion AI Infrastructure Fund
Track your investments for FREE with Simply Wall St, the portfolio command center trusted by over 7 million individual investors worldwide. Apollo Global Management (NYSE:APO) is part of a planned US$500b AI infrastructure fund alongside Nvidia and other large Wall Street investors. The fund targets data centers and related AI infrastructure, highlighting growing capital demand for large scale computing projects. Apollo announced a new innovation hub in Austin, Texas, intended to expand its presence in a major US technology and industrial center. Together, these moves represent a material extension of Apollo's focus on AI related infrastructure and regional growth in the United States. Apollo is far from the only stock tied to large scale AI build outs, so it can be useful to compare its exposure with a broader group of companies focused on similar infrastructure themes through 56 AI infrastructure stocksNYSE:APO Earnings & Revenue Growth as at Aug 2026 Apollo Global Management sits within a group of large alternative asset managers that allocate capital across credit, private equity, and real assets. The stock has seen mixed recent trading, with a gain of 9.7% over the past month but a decline of 10.0% year to date based on the latest close at US$132.02. That mixed pattern underlines how investor expectations can shift quickly around longer term themes. 2 things going right for Apollo Global Management that this headline doesn't cover. AI buildout and Austin expansion feed directly into Apollo Global Management's growth themes For investors, this AI infrastructure fund and the new Austin hub speak directly to Apollo Global Management's focus on an industrial and infrastructure heavy capital cycle. The Nvidia led fund leans into Apollo's existing strengths in large, complex financing, which supports the catalyst around growing origination volumes in private credit and real assets. The Austin hub ties into Apollo's push to build new businesses across product, distribution, infrastructure and market making, although it also raises the bar on execution at a time when the company is managing mixed results in net income and a loss over the first half of 2026. For this news to really matter in your thesis, watch for concrete follow through. That includes disclosed commitments or deals sourced through the US$500b AI vehicle, measurable assets or hires tied to the Austin hub, and how these show up in Apollo's future segment disclosures, fee related earnings and capital deployed into AI and industrial projects.

How the page works
How to read the score
It describes the weighted balance of qualifying headlines. A score of 50 can mean a balanced tape or that direction has been withheld for insufficient evidence; the status label distinguishes them.
Confidence measures depth, source breadth, direct relevance, freshness and agreement. It does not rise merely because the tone is extreme.
Weekly price response, trend and fair-value position test whether the market is accepting or rejecting the news. They never rewrite the news score.
The page describes completed evidence available at the stated time. It is research context, not a forecast, recommendation, target or execution instruction.
