[ad_1] After the market closes on Wednesday, Nvidia will report earnings for the first quarter of its fiscal year 2026, which ended on April 27. While many in the industry are likely eager to hear how the recent whiplash surrounding U.S. chip export controls will impact Nvidia’s international chip business and future guidance, not everyone thinks that is the most important piece of Nvidia’s results to pay attention to. Kevin Cook, a senior equity strategist at Zacks Investment Research who has followed Nvidia for a decade, told TechCrunch he believes the company’s rollout of its new GB200 NVL72 hardware —…

[ad_1] Prices are expected to go up this year as many companies signal plans to raise them in response to President Donald Trump’s slew of tariffs.While firms raise prices for many reasons, some were blaming price hikes on tariffs long before Trump’s so-called “Liberation Day” on April 2, during which he announced a 10% baseline tariff on imports from most countries, except Canada and Mexico, and a host of “reciprocal” tariffs on top of that.The situation is fluid. China, for example, now faces tariffs of 30%, down from 145%, after striking a 90-day trade deal with the US that does…

Let’s switch it up: Did you hear the one about the publisher who figured out how to find tens of thousands of new paying subscribers?That publisher is Wired, Condé Nast’s tech site (and print magazine). And the strategy Wired used to find new subscribers is both super simple and very hard to pull off: Become a source for news lots of people want, and can’t find anywhere else.That’s the way Katie Drummond, who took over Wired in 2023, tells it. Drummond says she positioned Wired to specialize…

[ad_1] New York CNN  —  Shares of Victoria’s Secret fell Wednesday after the lingerie company took down its US website, saying there was a prolonged “security incident.” Shoppers visiting the website will see a black screen with the company’s statement rather than its usual selection of lingerie, sleepwear and other products. The retailer has “identified and are taking steps to address a security incident,” according to a statement posted to its website. “We have taken down our website and some in store services as a precaution.” It’s rare for a company of Victoria Secret’s size to have such a prolonged…

[ad_1] Amazon and Google parent Alphabet are among Goldman Sachs’ top picks in the internet segment to rebound in the second half of the year. Both stocks have seen weak starts in the first half of 2025. Shares of Alphabet are down nearly 9% through Tuesday, while Amazon is down about 6%. The S & P 500 was higher by almost 1% in 2025.

[ad_1] Washington CNN  —  Economists and top policymakers at the Federal Reserve see a growing risk of America’s job market weakening because of President Donald Trump’s erratic trade war, according to minutes from the central bank’s latest policy released Wednesday. “The labor market was expected to weaken substantially,” the minutes said, adding that Fed economists at the May 6-7 meeting also revised up their projections for inflation this year and lowered their expectations for economic growth. Fed policymakers also fretted over whether the labor market’s resilience could persist, especially if Trump continues with his haphazard on-again, off-again tariff regime. “Participants…
