Norwegian Cruise Line stock jumps as passenger spending leaves fuel costs astern

Nvidia stock slips as competition probe presents new AI concern
Nvidia stock was edging down on Thursday. The latest worry for the artificial-intelligence chip giant may have nothing to do with tech-sector debt or the sustainability of customer spending on AI but rather regulatory concerns. Nvidia stock was down 0.7% in premarket trading on Thursday, extending declines after a 1.2% drop on Wednesday.
Tired of the AI rollercoaster? Try this dividend-rich index.
Investing in artificial-intelligence stocks takes a strong stomach. While chips and other parts of the tech ecosystem have driven the S&P 500's rise in recent years, a brutal series of selloffs since the summer have made AI names an acquired taste. For something a bit more appetizing, investors may want to examine an oft-overlooked major global index— one that trounced the S&P 500 in 2025 , has held its own this year, and has been outpacing U.S. tech names in recent weeks.

Two critical Nvidia stock flaws and other reasons this analyst says sell
Brave is the analyst who makes the bearish call on Nvidia stock.

Can Nirosta Steel Survive His Sudden Success?
The late-blooming musician is a living embodiment of the old downtown—for better or worse. Greg Masters is nearly done moving out of the rent-stabilized one-bedroom he’s lived in for 50 years when he hears a shout. “Greg!” a voice with a slight Scottish lilt hollers at Masters. “It’s Steven.
Spotify stock rallies after earnings because not all AI winners are chip plays
Spotify Technology stock jumped early Thursday—as the wider stock market fell—after the streaming platform reported more premium subscribers than it had previously forecast. More importantly: profit growth is ahead of estimates as it looks like investments into AI are bearing fruit. It's a reminder that chip stocks and their ilk aren't the only winners from the AI trend. Spotify stock was up 3.5% in premarket trading on Thursday after posting quarterly results.
Chip stock rebound comes undone after Lam Research stokes spending fears
Just when it looked like the chip stock rebound had room to run, market sentiment whipsawed into Thursday with major names exposed to AI falling across the board.

Nvidia’s $10 billion AI data center quick-fix and the winning stocks
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang’s opening-salvo pitch in the chip giant leader’s keynote speech at GTC Berlin is modular, quickly-deployed data centers that would dramatically reduce the time until AI computing can take place. There are also key stocks set to benefit too. “This will change the way people install and build data centers,” Huang said, pitching Nvidia’s new Vera Rubin DSX Pods. “An AI factory can take several months to build.

Nvidia gets a China boost but the stock is still falling
Nvidia stock was falling on Tuesday as selling continued to hit AI and chip stocks after a brief reprieve on Monday from a two-week rout. Not even rumors of major chip purchases from China look like being enough to buoy Nvidia. Nvidia was down 0.8% in premarket trading on Tuesday after the shares gained 1.4% on Monday.
Micron stock falls amid three warning signals
Micron stock was falling on Tuesday, appearing to buck Monday's rebound following a two-week selloff across the chips space. From market worries in South Korea to a possible strike in Taiwan, investors have at least three reasons to worry. Micron stock fell 2% in premarket trading on Tuesday after the shares gained 3% on Monday—what looked like an encouraging reversal of a selloff across chips that has seen Micron stock lose almost 20% since October 7.
The buying opportunities hidden in the chip stock chaos
Not all chip stocks are made equal—far from it. Few, if any, chip names have been left unscathed from a selloff that has lasted through this week and much of last, but the carnage has laid bare the divergent effect of hype—and worries—across different names. And it may just be a reminder of what the best stock picks are. The iShares Semiconductor ETF (SOXX) has fallen for eight straight trading days through Thursday's closing bell.
Strategy stock sinks as index exclusion may outweigh bitcoin prices
Strategy stock was sinking on Friday despite a bump in the price of Bitcoin. It turns out that stock indexes may matter more than cryptocurrency prices right now. Strategy stock was down 3.5% in premarket trading on Friday while the price of Bitcoin was up more than 1% over the past 24 hours to around $82,050. Strategy is one of the world's major Bitcoin “whales,” or large holders of crypto, with the company owning 848,250 tokens of the leading digital asset.
Why Nvidia stock is rising while the broader chip sector keeps falling
Nvidia stock remained above water on Friday as the rest of the chip sector continued what has become one of its worst selloffs in more than a decade. The stock was up less than 1% in premarket trading on Friday after a 1.8% fall on Thursday. The shares have lost 9% of their value since Oct.6. The iShares Semiconductor ETF (SOXX) has fallen in all eight of the trading days since that date, its longest losing streak since September 2015.
Kenyan prisoners play chess for fun behind bars and to help with rehabilitation
MURANG'A, Kenya (AP) — The black-and-white stripes of Brian Gatonye's prison uniform match the pieces staring back at him from the chessboard at Kenya's Maranjau Prison. The 27-year-old has served about 18 months of a three-year sentence for assault and is due to be released in November 2027. During a break in the prison yard, he considers his next move: a pawn, perhaps, or a knight. The break isn't long, but if he finishes the game quickly he may have time to face one of the skilled guards.
