Littelfuse Shares Rise as AI Data-Center Story Hits

Littelfuse Inc. shares jumped Tuesday, closing at a new 52-week high as the AI data-center product debut landed. The stock, which trades on the Nasdaq, finished at around $487.90, up 5.3%. It hit $489.60 during the day. Investors have pushed the shares higher since its first-quarter earnings. Littelfuse is making its pitch now as it wants to prove its circuit-protection products belong in new higher-power data center projects, not just in industrial or automotive use. Regular U.S. trading opens later Wednesday; Nasdaq’s standard hours run 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. ET, with pre-market trading from 4 a.m. ET.

Intuit Drops Again With TurboTax AI Questions Back in Focus

Intuit Inc. shares slipped Tuesday as Mizuho lowered its price target on the tax and accounting software company. The move kept pressure on a stock that has already been under fire from concerns about TurboTax growth and competition from artificial intelligence. The stock fell 3.8% to $307.93 by midday in New York after hitting a session low of $307.02. That drop caught attention, since the Invesco QQQ Trust, which tracks the Nasdaq 100, added 1.3%, while the SPDR S&P 500 ETF climbed 0.5%.

Amkor Shares Rise in Early Trade on AI Chip-Packaging Demand

Amkor Technology shares moved higher in premarket trade Tuesday as money flowed back into a semiconductor packaging name exposed to AI hardware spending. AMKR traded at $71.46 as of 9:00 a.m. ET, up $5.71, or 8.68%, from its last close of $65.75. Amkor’s push into advanced packaging comes as the company looks to make the segment a bigger part of its profits. Advanced packaging, where several chips are combined in one high-performance unit, has turned into a choke point for current data-center chips. “We’re moving up the value chain,” CEO Kevin Engel told Reuters about the newly revealed work with Advanced Micro Devices.

Akamai Stock Heads Into New Test After $3.5 Billion AI Cloud Move

Shares of Akamai Technologies were under scrutiny again Tuesday, just after the U.S. holiday, as the company’s $3.5 billion financing drew attention from investors watching its AI cloud push. Akamai was last spotted at $147.23 ahead of the Nasdaq day session, putting the company's market cap near $22.1 billion. Timing is key. The Nasdaq was shut Monday for Memorial Day, with its usual 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Eastern hours set to resume. That put Tuesday as the first full trading day since Akamai wrapped the financing late last week.

Alphabet Faces Test for Its $4.6 Trillion AI Rally Over Holiday Week

Alphabet Inc. shares fell Friday heading into the Memorial Day break, putting the stock on the back foot. Wall Street finished the week higher, but pressure stayed on the Google parent as investors questioned if its AI spending can still support the stock’s high valuation. Alphabet's Class A shares slipped 1.21% to $382.97 at Friday's close. Class C shares finished at $379.38, down 1.07%. The Class A shares gave up around 3.5% for the week, after hitting an intraday high of $408.61 on May 18.

Wetour Robotics Stock Surges 91% Before Reverse Split, With AI Launch Next

Wetour Robotics Limited’s Nasdaq-listed shares ended a volatile week at $1.07, up 15.1% on Friday and 91% from the previous Friday, as traders looked ahead to a reverse split and a product launch for its AI wearable interface platform. Volume also picked up sharply, with 496,048 shares changing hands on Friday versus 38,269 on May 15. This matters now because the stock has only four regular U.S. trading days next week to digest two company events. Nasdaq is closed on Saturday and Sunday and will also be closed on Monday, May 25, for Memorial Day, according to the exchange’s 2026 holiday schedule.

BLIN Stock Climbs Before Holiday Break as Bridgeline’s AI Sales Push Faces Revenue Test

Bridgeline Digital Inc. shares closed regular Nasdaq trading higher on Friday, finishing at $0.94, up 2.24%, after swinging between $0.87 and $0.95. Volume was light at about 26,200 shares, and the company’s market value stood near $11.8 million. That makes BLIN a microcap, meaning a company with a very small public market value, and one where modest order flow can move the stock. The timing also matters: Nasdaq lists Monday, May 25, as a full market closure for Memorial Day, leaving investors with a long weekend to digest the company’s latest numbers.

Veritone shares pop 16% as traders look at small AI firm with funding issues

Veritone rallied 16.3% on Thursday, ending the session at $2.28. The jump blew past the Nasdaq, which edged up only slightly. The move came after little news from the AI software maker, with most traders still reacting to the company’s latest earnings and flagged debt risks. Trading volume surged to around 4.74 million shares, compared with 1.79 million the day before, as the stock moved in a $1.94 to $2.315 range. Veritone shares moved even though the company hadn’t put out any new statement in the last two days. The most recent item on Veritone’s investor site is a May 14 post about a Broadbean recruiting tool, coming after its May 12 Q1 results.

Microsoft shares fall after reports on Anthropic AI chip talks raise questions about its $31.9B deal

Microsoft shares slipped in mid-afternoon trade Thursday, down around 0.3% at $419.62. A new report flagged Anthropic’s potential use of Microsoft’s AI chips, but that didn’t lift the stock. The Invesco QQQ Trust added about 0.2% and the SPDR S&P 500 ETF was up roughly 0.3%. Microsoft’s market cap was near $3.12 trillion. Why it matters: Microsoft says it is making big bets on cloud and AI, pouring money into chips, data centers, and leases. Investors are watching to see if those outlays bring lasting revenue — or just drive up costs.

CEVA Stock Is Near a Breakout: The AI Licensing Signal Traders Are Watching

CEVA, Inc. shares held near their highest levels in a year before Thursday’s open, last quoted around $38 after a 4.4% jump in the prior session. The Nasdaq-listed chip-licensing company closed Wednesday at $38.03, while StockAnalysis showed it indicated at $37.98 in pre-market trade at 5:14 a.m. EDT, below a 52-week high of $39.94. The timing matters because the regular Nasdaq session had not yet opened, leaving the early move to thinner pre-market trading. Nasdaq lists pre-market trading from 4:00 a.m. to 9:30 a.m. Eastern, regular trading from 9:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., and the next U.S. market closure as Memorial Day on May 25.

BYD Car Carrier Heads to Australia as Ford, Mazda Trail

BYD has sent one of its own car carriers out of Shanghai, loaded with 4,810 BYD and Denza vehicles headed for Australia. The shipment is meant to meet strong orders with deliveries in June. The company describes the cargo as new-energy vehicles—battery-electric and plug-in hybrid models that can recharge from the grid but also have a petrol engine. Timing is key. Australia's EV market picked up in recent months as more models arrived and high fuel prices pushed buyers toward lower running costs. Battery-electric vehicles made up a record 16.4% of new vehicle sales in April, according to AADA.

London Stock Exchange Group’s New Climate-Index Bet Puts FTSE Russell in the AI Data Race

FTSE Russell, part of London Stock Exchange Group plc, has reached a provisional deal with Planetrics to build climate-scenario indices and analytics—part of LSEG’s broader effort to boost the value of its data and models. FTSE Russell said both companies aim to roll out new indices before year-end. The deal is coming into focus as LSEG aims to convince investors its data unit stands to benefit—not get squeezed—by AI and changing client needs. Back in April, the company reported a 9.8% jump in first-quarter total income excluding recoveries, measured on an organic constant-currency basis. For 2026, LSEG is steering revenue growth expectations toward the higher end of its 6.5% to 7.5% target.
