Meta (NASDAQ:META) AI spending report triggers $137 billion swing in stock value

Meta Platforms shares rallied Wednesday after a report said the Facebook owner could start renting out extra AI computing power. The move would shake up the main stock debate, which had centered on whether Meta’s AI spending was too high to pay off. Reuters, via Bloomberg, said Meta is working on a cloud business that might sell access to AI models on its servers and could also offer raw compute capacity for sale. The swing in the market forced a shift in the numbers. Meta was last quoted at $616.64, up $53.35, or 9.5%, from its previous finish at $563.29. That move puts about $136.8 billion more on Meta’s market cap, nearly matching the $135 billion middle of its $125

Lidl £149 Air Conditioner Sells Out Fast in UK Heatwave

Lidl’s £149 portable air conditioner sold out during the UK’s record heatwave this June.

Tronic 3-in-1 Air Conditioner is sold out at Lidl, according to the company’s product page, which has the unit listed for £149. The Independent said on Thursday that shoppers in Southampton started queuing from 7:30 a.m. One customer told the paper she counted at least 50 people behind her waiting outside the store.

UK product recalls raise new questions about marketplace oversight and supermarket suppliers

UK recall notices out this week point to two issues for consumers. Child-safety alerts are now flagging more third-party items.

Trump digital tax warning clouds $263 billion in goods

Trump’s warning of 100% tariffs on countries with digital taxes brings a $262.8 billion annual goods-import flow from six targeted nations into play. The U.S. digital-tax review already has those countries on its list, and the trade talks now have a much larger number on the table than just the digital-tax bills faced by U.S. tech firms. France, Austria, Italy, Spain, Turkey and the UK exported $262.8 billion in goods to the U.S. in 2025 and $85.9 billion for the first four months of 2026, according to U.S. Census Bureau data. The White House told the U.S. Trade Representative in 2025 to look at renewing Section 301 probes into digital services taxes in the same countries.

Amazon Shares: Corning Deal Puts Focus on AI Spending

Amazon.com traded lower Monday after shedding early gains, as a fresh multibillion-dollar deal with Corning threw the spotlight on the costs behind its AI data-center push. Shares were last down 0.6% at $244.50. Corning was up 6.3%. Amazon is under pressure to show that more spending on AI hardware will drive growth at its cloud arm, Amazon Web Services, instead of just slowing cash flow. Optical fiber is key to this effort. The thin glass wires shuttle data at high speed, linking chips, servers and sites inside Amazon’s expanding data center network.

Globalstar Trades Under Amazon’s $90 Bid With Confusing Deal Math

Globalstar shares were lower midday Monday, staying under the headline $90-a-share cash option in the Amazon.com buyout. Amazon shares also dropped, taking a toll on the stock part of the deal. Globalstar was at $83.31, off 1.1%. Amazon traded at $264.18, down 2.4%. This is important now because the deal is not a pure cash offer. Globalstar holders can choose $90 in cash or 0.3210 Amazon shares for each Globalstar share, but the shares are capped at $90 in value. Cash elections are limited to 40% of Globalstar shares. If more shareholders want cash, proration will scale it back.

Amazon Supply Chain Services Launch Puts UPS and FedEx Under New Pressure

Amazon.com on Monday rolled out Amazon Supply Chain Services, a fresh package that gives outside firms access to its entire logistics stack—freight, warehousing, fulfillment, and parcel delivery—no Amazon storefront required. The company says businesses can tap into the system to handle goods at any stage, from raw materials up to final products. Amazon’s latest push into third-party logistics comes as retailers and manufacturers look to cut vendors and speed up deliveries. The company is now offering logistics services—originally developed for its own retail arm and third-party sellers—to players in healthcare, auto, manufacturing, and retail. The expansion lets Amazon handle transportation, storage, and delivery for outside businesses.

Rebecca Yarros is set to release Peculiar Stars, a standalone romance novel, on November 17. That adds another 2026 date to the calendar for fans, as she keeps working on book four of her hit Empyrean fantasy series. On Instagram, Yarros called the upcoming book a “slow-burn romance,” centering on “543 days,” “one island,” and “no easy answers.” Timing is crucial here: Yarros isn’t just steering a blockbuster series anymore. She’s juggling the demands of a sprawling romance audience, stoking a fantasy universe with mainstream pull, and facing a fan community dissecting every new listing for hints.

Amazon Stock Nears Record Before Earnings. Anthropic May Be the Difference

Amazon stock surged to a new intraday record on Thursday, riding a strong April run as traders piled in ahead of next week’s earnings. Investors are eyeing the tech giant’s growing AI ambitions and its broadened partnership with Anthropic, expecting those moves to be reflected in the upcoming report. Shares reached $258.79 in New York trading. Timing is key here. Amazon drops its first-quarter numbers April 29, lining up with Alphabet, Microsoft, and Meta—all four set for results the same day. Investors are zeroing in on whether the surge in data-center outlays is fueling actual growth or just boosting expenses. According to Reuters, this group is on track to pour more than $600 billion into data centers this year.

Amazon on Monday was still offering the unlocked Pixel 10 128GB for $549, along with the Pixel 10 Pro XL 256GB at $899 in a single color—keeping its broad Google Pixel 10 sale going longer than deal trackers predicted. The discounts had been expected to end after the weekend. This shift is notable: Google is slashing cash prices on unlocked phones—no carrier contracts, no device trade-ins, no bill credits. That puts the latest flagship Pixel line right in the shopper’s view, while competitors like Apple and Samsung keep pushing buyers toward full-price hardware bundled with trade-ins or financing.

Amazon’s New Fire TV Stick Warning Is Bad News for Sideloading Fans

Amazon.com Inc.’s newest Fire TV Stick HD makes it clear: there’s now a warning up front telling buyers sideloading—adding apps from outside Amazon’s own store—is off the table. That’s a sharp pivot away from the stick’s Android roots, which had drawn in users eager to tweak their setup. Sure, sideloading never got a spotlight, but for previous models, it was just something people did. Amazon’s $34.99 streaming stick is now up for preorder and will start shipping April 29. With the launch, everyday Fire TV buyers—not just developers or early testers—get access to Amazon’s updated software. The refreshed stick is about 30% slimmer than the last HD model, supports Wi-Fi 6 plus Bluetooth 5.3, and delivers the newest Alexa+ features

Amazon’s New Fire TV Stick HD Signals the End of Android — and Sideloading — on Fire TV Sticks

Amazon is steering its Fire TV Stick range in a different direction. Developers were told that upcoming Fire TV Sticks will drop the long-used Android-based Fire OS in favor of Vega OS, Amazon’s own operating system. That means the new Fire TV Stick HD isn’t just a thinner $34.99 streamer—it marks another move away from Android on the company’s stick lineup. This change hits power users especially hard—sideloading, or putting apps on devices without the official app store, is now blocked. Amazon now gets more control: apps, security, the whole living-room storefront, all under its watch. But for users looking to load whatever they want onto a cheap stick behind their TV, the options just got slimmer.

AI Boom Forces Urgent Energy Expansion as Google Warns of U.S. Power Crunch, Power Stocks Gain

Google on Monday sounded the alarm: the U.S. isn’t adding electricity supply fast enough to keep up with artificial intelligence’s rapid growth, a constraint that’s already limiting where new data centers go. “We are not moving full throttle on energy,” said Ruth Porat, who serves as president and chief investment officer at both Alphabet and Google, speaking at the CERAWeek conference in Houston. Power is fast turning into a bottleneck. The U.S. Energy Information Administration projects electricity load growth of 1.9% in 2026, then 2.5% for 2027—coming off a new national demand record set in 2025.
