$GOOGL$META

Alphabet ($GOOGL) has backed Anthropic, creator of AI model Claude, in a $35 billion chip arrangement that will lease powerful computer chips across five data centers. The deal underscores the escalating capital requirements for frontier AI model development as competition intensifies between hyperscalers. $GOOGL is also linked to speculation around potential SpaceX, Anthropic, and OpenAI IPOs, with SpaceX eyeing a $1.8 trillion valuation that could test historical patterns showing sharp first-year declines for mega-tech listings. Meta Platforms ($META) will lease a 168 MW AI data center from Reliance in Gujarat, India, deepening its presence in the region as global data center scrutiny grows. The move reflects the AI data center race reaching new geographies as hyperscalers diversify infrastructure footprints beyond traditional U.S. and European hubs.

Broadcom ($AVGO) reported first quarter 2026 results that exceeded Wall Street expectations for both revenue and profit, with AI semiconductor revenue reaching $10.8 billion, up 143% year over year. Despite the strong results, shares fell sharply as investors digested underlying trends, though Erste Group upgraded $AVGO to Buy from Hold, noting the company is growing much faster than sectoral peers and citing resilient operating leverage. Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing ($TSM) shows strong high-growth momentum with accelerating earnings growth of 58.4% quarter-over-quarter, perfect technical ratings, and a defined entry point near $450. Marvell Technology ($MRVL) traded at $289 with shares up 240.31% year-to-date, driven by custom AI silicon, electro-optics, and switching chips for hyperscale data centers, with Q1 FY2027 data center revenue hitting $1.83 billion, representing 76% of total revenue.

Uber Stock Price

$70.38-6.7% (1M)
$UBER$META

Uber Technologies ($UBER) is launching commercial robotaxi pilots in Europe, with Madrid hosting a service using WeRide vehicles and Munich deploying autonomous rides powered by Autobrains software and Nvidia hardware. $UBER traded at $70.38, down 6.7% over the past month and down 15.1% year to date, as the company pushes deeper into autonomous ride-hailing despite recent stock pressure. Estonia-based competitor Bolt launched operations in Milan, now operating in 26 of the European Union's 27 member nations, intensifying competition in the ride-hailing market. $META announced America's Workforce Academy, a training program for trade workers including electricians, plumbers, and technicians, which has received praise from a former Trump adviser and ex-Facebook executive.

$PLTR

Paramount Skydance Corp.'s $110 billion takeover of Warner Bros. Discovery is being reviewed under the European Union's Foreign Subsidies Regulation, with regulators probing involvement of Middle Eastern funds helping to bankroll the acquisition. The scrutiny reflects heightened regulatory attention to cross-border media consolidation and foreign capital flows in strategic sectors. A Palantir co-founder issued a warning on AI layoff claims, while broader software development stocks completed their Q1 reporting season with mixed results across the sector.
