Meta's AI Boom Just Hit a New Hurdle
This article first appeared on GuruFocus. Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:META) is agreeing to comply with Texas Governor Greg Abbott's stricter data-center standards as the company accelerates one of the largest AI infrastructure buildouts in the market. The move removes some regulatory uncertainty around Meta's expansion in Texas, but it also highlights a growing investor concern: massive AI data centers increasingly need to fund their own power, water and grid infrastructure rather than rely on local ratepayers.

Social media platforms still facing thousands of user addiction lawsuits after failed appeals
Social media companies like Meta, TikTok, Snapchat, and Google are facing a long road of litigation over claims that they intentionally designed their products to be addictive to minors. According to a report from Reuters, San Francisco's 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals denied these platforms' attempt to defend themselves from thousands of lawsuits through an argument based on Section 230, which protects publishers and platforms from being held liable for users' posts. The companies argued that Section 230 could also protect them from the claim that they did not warn the public about addicti

By Diana Novak Jones Aug 10 (Reuters) - A U.S. appeals court on Monday allowed thousands of lawsuits to move forward against Meta Platforms, Alphabet's Google, ByteDance's TikTok, and other social media companies over claims they designed their products to be addictive to young users. The San Francisco-based 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals rejected the companies' bid to reverse a lower court's ruling forcing them to face some 2,400 lawsuits over the claims filed in federal court.

Jeff Bezos Nears Major Liverpool Move
This article first appeared on GuruFocus. Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) founder Jeff Bezos is reportedly nearing a deal to acquire a major minority stake in Liverpool Football Club, putting one of the world's richest entrepreneurs behind one of soccer's most valuable brands. The transaction would value Liverpool at roughly $6 billion, highlighting how aggressively elite sports-franchise valuations continue to rise. Warning! GuruFocus has detected 5 Warning Sign with AMZN. Is AMZN fairly valued? Test your thesis with our free DCF calculator. According to Sky News and other reports, Bezos is part of a consortium led by businessman Amit Bhatia and including Facebook co-founder Eduardo Saverin. The group is seeking roughly a one-third stake in Liverpool from Fenway Sports Group, which has owned the Premier League club since 2010. An announcement could come within days, although negotiations may extend into next week. At a reported valuation of around 4.4 billion to 4.5 billion, or close to $6 billion, the deal would rank among soccer's richest transactions. FSG bought Liverpool for about 300 million in 2010, meaning the latest valuation would represent a dramatic increase in the club's value under its ownership. Bezos' involvement is notable because it would represent a high-profile move into sports ownership. The transaction would also bring more billionaire capital into Liverpool while leaving FSG in control, according to current reports. For Amazon shareholders, however, the distinction is critical: this is reportedly a personal investment by Bezos, not an acquisition by Amazon. Bezos remains Amazon's executive chair and largest individual shareholder, but Amazon itself is not identified as a buyer. Investor Takeaway On Amazon Stock The direct financial impact on Amazon should therefore be minimal unless the relationship later develops into a broader commercial arrangement involving Prime Video, advertising, merchandising or sports rights. For investors, the more relevant read-through is the rising strategic value of global sports properties. Liverpool's roughly $6 billion valuation underscores how scarce, internationally recognized franchises are attracting enormous pools of private capital. Investors should watch the final ownership percentage, valuation and any accompanying commercial agreements. Without an Amazon-linked partnership, the deal remains primarily a Bezos portfolio move rather than a catalyst for AMZN stock. View Comments

Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing (TSM) Shares Gain Attention After Ark Adds To Position
Never miss an important update on your stock portfolio and cut through the noise. Over 7 million investors trust Simply Wall St to stay informed where it matters for FREE. Ark Invest increased its position in Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing (NYSE: TSM) after Meta shared updated AI focused capital expenditure plans. The move follows Meta guidance that points to higher investment in AI infrastructure to support its platforms. TSMC is a key contract manufacturer for advanced chips used in AI data centers and related hardware. The position change draws attention to how large funds are repositioning around potential AI infrastructure demand. This type of portfolio shift highlights a wider group of companies tied to AI infrastructure that you may want to explore next at 56 AI infrastructure stocksNYSE:TSM 1-Year Stock Price Chart Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing sits at the center of the global chip supply chain, supplying advanced processors to large platform companies and chip designers. The stock trades at $420.04 and has seen a 31.4% return year to date and a 75.0% return over the past year. Over the past three years the return is very large at roughly 7x, while the five year return stands at 290.5%. See which insiders are buying and buying and selling Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing following this latest news. Ark's move reinforces the Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing AI infrastructure story For investors, Ark increasing its position in Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing after Meta's AI focused capex update is a clear signal that at least one high profile fund sees the AI infrastructure theme as intact. It reinforces the idea that TSMC sits at the center of spending on advanced chips for large platforms and GPU designers, and it lines up with the existing thesis around AI related wafer demand. What this does not resolve is how much of that AI optimism is already reflected in Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing's share price after its strong recent returns. The practical thing to watch next is how AI related orders show up in Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing's reported wafer volumes and revenue mix over the coming quarters, especially any management commentary that breaks out demand linked to GPU customers. That will help you see whether fund buying like Ark's is being matched by sustained fundamentals tied to Meta style capex plans.

Airbnb CEO: Why AI is the best thing to happen to us
Airbnb CEO Brian Chesky reveals to Yahoo Finance Executive EditorBrian Sozzi how AI is driving the company's fastest growth in years, shares his bold predictions for the future of consumer tech, and confirms the existence of a secret internal AI lab. Video Transcript 0:02 spk_0 All right. Welcome to a new episode of Power Players, and I am so excited to, uh, welcome back on Airbnb co-founder and CEO Brian Chesky, and this so happens to be the company's earnings day. Brian, thanks for, uh, squeezing me in somehow. I appreciate it. 0:15 spk_1 Oh, you're welcome. Happy 0:16 spk_0 to be here. And I just want to say too off the top, we did not plan to look alike, like two Brian's, like two fit guys in the box. Like we didn't plan this out beforehand, like, you know, definitely not. Uh, but good to see you. This is earnings day. Numbers look to be good. Like, what do I, what do Ineed to know? 0:30 spk_1 This is the fastest we've been growing in years. I mean, I think a really simple way to think about it is last year our revenue grew 10%. This quarter alone, it was 17%.It's really, really hard for a big company to accelerate growth. It's like gravity, growth rates want to go down, the bigger a company gets. I've learned this the hard way. And so I just wanted to just, just call out our incredible team. It's very, very hard to do what they've pulled off. And the way we did it is we have this innovation model that we really like kind of built a few years ago that I modeled off the original part of Airbnb where I got these small little elite teams focused on problems, and then I kind of, we brought it throughout the entire company.The second thing is AI is the best thing that ever happened to Airbnb. You know, I think there's, there's going to be some winners and losers. Um, I think mostly AI is going to be good for most companies, and we are one of those companies that really benefits. We're shipping more things we ever have. We hired a CTO at the beginning of the year, Ahmed Aldawi, who led and created the llama model. So he is absolutely on the frontier of AI research and he's become a great CTO of Airbnb. We arePutting AI features throughout the product. And I think Airbnb is the kind of company that would really benefit. You know, I do not think a chatbot is the way people are going to book travel. It might be the way to discover destinations. Um, I think we're just getting a lot of great benefits from AI. So that's what I would say. Great team execution, a lot of innovation. AI is leading to acceleration, and therefore we believe we're taking market share. 1:58 spk_0 No, I'm excited to talk to you about, uh, you about the, uh, the innovation. You mentioned, it was mentioned in the earnings release that, I mean, the business accelerated sequentially, and I don't want that to get lost in all the focus on the numbers, because that, at your scale, like you just mentioned, that is not easy to do. What do you attributethat to? 2:14 spk_1 And it's especially hard for marketplaces, right? If you're like um a company that releases a product, you can release a hit product. Marketplaces are very, very difficult. They kind of have a little bit of a mind of their own. I think I attribute it to a few things. Number one, like a lot of people thought our core business was mature. Our, you know, homes in the United States, that we've saturated it. It turns out our US business is accelerating.Our business in Canada and Australia, UK, France, these really so-called mature markets are not mature. We have a huge amount of room to grow. That's number 1. Number 2, again, this innovation model means that we are shipping nearly twice the features that we were a couple of years ago, and they are significantly better quality. You know, AI's really, really helped us be able to do this so much more effective. Everyone has access to AI but not everyone's using it equally, and I think our team is really on the leading edge.I also think there's so many new oppo

'Very little to like': Wall Street assesses surprise July jobs report as stocks jump
Wall Street is increasingly betting the latest jobs report will take a Fed rate hike off the table and give stocks room to climb. The Bureau of Labor Statistics' July labor market report showed the economy lost 23,000 jobs, far short of expectations. The unemployment rate fell to 4.1% as labor force participation dropped to a near-pandemic low. "The report suggests that the economy is seemingly slipping back toward the 'no hire, no fire' narrative that characterized the labor market through much of 2025," said Jim Baird, chief investment officer with Plante Moran Financial Advisors, in a note on Friday. The latest report shows the three-month rolling average of job gains has fallen to just 20,000, while the six-month average has declined to a weak 44,000, noted Ameriprise chief economist Russell Price. "There were many moving parts, but very little to like about this report," said Price on Friday. "If the job market falters, consumers and the economy might not be far behind." Treasury yields fell on Friday following the report, reversing gains from earlier in the week when traders had signaled that policymakers might be behind the curve in their fight against inflation. Strategists said the weak labor numbers give the Fed cover to hold rates steady despite sticky inflation, particularly as wage growth came in softer than expected. Read more: How the Fed rate decision affects your bank accounts, loans, credit cards, and investments "To the point of the wage inflation, I think this really solidifies our view that the Fed is going to stay on hold this year," UBS's Leslie Falconio told Yahoo Finance. Following the jobs report, implied odds of a Fed rate hike in 2026 fell to 56% from 63% on Polymarket, reducing the risk of higher borrowing costs and their impact on equities. Stocks jumped on Friday with the Dow, S&P 500, and Nasdaq all posting weekly wins. The gains were driven by large tech stocks as Nvidia (NVDA) surged 10% for the week. Microsoft (MSFT) and Meta (META) also gained 8% and 7%, respectively. "In terms of what this does to the stock market, it's probably positive in that it reduces the probability of a rate hike in September," said Amber Fairbanks, Impax Asset Management portfolio manager. Fairbanks still sees upside in the AI trade, but cautions on selectivity. "I think AI is still an attractive trade," she said. "I do think that we have to be a little bit more picky in those companies that are really benefiting from a fundamental perspective, not just to benefit from a narrative perspective."

Does Broadcom (AVGO) Now Lead The Biggest AI Infrastructure Spend Outside GPUs?
Get insights on thousands of stocks from the global community of over 7 million individual investors at Simply Wall St. Broadcom (NasdaqGS:AVGO) has become a dominant supplier for hyperscale AI clusters used by major cloud and AI providers such as Anthropic, OpenAI, and Meta. Multi-year commitments from these customers are channeling significant capital expenditure into Broadcom's AI infrastructure hardware, even as some of that spend bypasses GPU market leader Nvidia. The agreements increase Broadcom's visibility on future AI related revenue tied to large scale data center buildouts. Broadcom is one of several companies involved in the buildout of AI infrastructure, so it is worth looking at a broader group of stocks exposed to this theme through 55 AI infrastructure stocksNasdaqGS:AVGO Earnings & Revenue Growth as at Aug 2026 Broadcom now sits at the centre of a wider shift in data centre spending, where large cloud providers are committing more capital to custom silicon and networking gear alongside GPUs. The stock price of US$427.76 comes after very strong multi year share price gains, including a 41.3% return over the past year and a return of more than 7x over five years, which signals how closely investors have tied Broadcom to the AI infrastructure theme. We've flagged 2 risks for Broadcom. See which could impact your investment. Does Broadcom's hyperscaler AI win deepen or just confirm the thesis? The core Broadcom Narrative is that the company is becoming essential infrastructure for AI compute and data movement, built on custom accelerators, high bandwidth networking and VMware based software. This hyperscaler AI capex news sits right inside that story rather than outside it. "Broadcom is experiencing accelerating demand for custom AI accelerators (XPUs) from hyperscale and large language model customers, underscored by the addition of a major fourth customer and a strengthened backlog..." Read the full Broadcom narrative to see the case behind these numbers This round of multi year commitments from Anthropic, OpenAI and Meta directly supports the Narrative's central catalyst. Broadcom is winning custom AI silicon and Ethernet switching inside the largest AI clusters, alongside Nvidia and against rivals such as AMD and Marvell. It reinforces the idea that AI centric semiconductors and networking are now the main engine of the business model. At the same time, it sharpens existing risks rather than removing them. The Narrative already flags heavy reliance on a small group of hyperscaler AI customers and stronger competition in custom XPUs and networking. Larger contracts increase revenue visibility, but also deepen that customer concentration and execution risk if any cloud provider insources or shifts to another supplier. Story Continues What this news does not address is whether weaker legacy segments and VMware integration challenges improve enough to deliver the diversification the thesis expects from software and non AI chips. Those areas still have to carry their weight if Broadcom is to look more like a balanced digital infrastructure platform and less like a pure AI customer proxy.

7 Reasons Pershing Square (PS) Looks Pricey After Ackman Spotlighted AI Holdings
Never miss an important update on your stock portfolio and cut through the noise. Over 7 million investors trust Simply Wall St to stay informed where it matters for FREE. Pershing Square stock reacts to focus on concentrated portfolio and AI-linked holdings Pershing Square (PS) is back in focus after Bill Ackman spotlighted the hedge fund's concentrated portfolio of seven stocks and emphasized key positions in Microsoft and Meta tied to artificial intelligence themes. See our latest analysis for Pershing Square. Pershing Square's recent Microsoft and Meta commentary comes after a sharp rebound in momentum, with the stock posting a 56.53% year to date share price return but still showing a 90 day share price return that declined 8.99%. This suggests shorter term confidence is rebuilding after a pullback. If you are looking beyond Pershing Square's concentrated holdings and AI angle, it could be a good moment to broaden your watchlist and check out 68 profitable AI stocks that aren't just burning cash For Pershing Square, this mix of strong year to date gains and a recent 90 day pullback raises a simple question. Are you seeing sentiment reset around AI enthusiasm, or a price that better aligns with fundamentals? Preferred Price to Sales ratio of 19.7x for Pershing Square: Is it justified? On a simple P/S basis, Pershing Square looks expensive compared to peers, with the stock trading at $37.88 and carrying a 19.7x multiple against much lower sector benchmarks. P/S compares a company's market value to its revenue. For an asset manager like Pershing Square, a high P/S can signal that investors are placing a strong value on fee potential, earnings power or perceived durability of its business model rather than current revenue alone. Here, the gap is wide. Pershing Square's 19.7x P/S multiple stands against a peer average of 4x and a US Capital Markets industry average of 3.5x. That places the stock on a much richer revenue valuation than many comparables and suggests the market is pricing in a stronger earnings profile or more resilient cash generation than revenue alone would indicate. See what the numbers say about this price — find out in our valuation breakdown. Result: Price-to-sales of 19.7x (OVERVALUED) However, there are risks to watch. Pershing Square's revenue has declined 1.02% year on year. In addition, a concentrated portfolio and fee sensitivity could quickly challenge sentiment. Find out about the key risks to this Pershing Square narrative. Another view on Pershing Square using the SWS DCF model Story Continues The P/S comparison presents Pershing Square as expensive, and the SWS DCF model goes even further. At a share price of $37.88, the stock sits well above an estimated future cash flow value of $3.59, which suggests a very rich price relative to the cash that analysts expect. Which signal do you weigh more heavily: revenue multiple or cash flow value? Look into how the SWS DCF model arrives at its fair value.PS Discounted Cash Flow as at Aug 2026 Simply Wall St performs a discounted cash flow (DCF) on every stock in the world every day (check out Pershing Square for example).
