The Swedish ivy that perched upon the mantle has been replaced with golden vases from the White House collection has just gotten noticeably more shiny and gold Looking at photos taken in the Oval Office this week with El Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele we noticed several decorative medallions applied to the marble fireplace and the same ones stuck on the wall under portraits in gilded frames ornate gold decorative medallions were added to the cornice around the ceiling The fact that several copies of the same decoration were showing up in different spots (made of different material) made us wonder where these were sourced and what they were made of A quick photo search on Alibaba showed many such “decorative appliqués” available in white and gold We came across one item that looks very much like the ones all over the Oval Office This “High-density Home Decoration Polyurethane Appliques Ornament PU Foam Veneer Accessories” from Guangzhou Homemax Decorative Material Limited on Alibaba is a dead ringer The decorations are available in many colors: “matte white most Between $1 and $5 apiece (but the minimum order is 50 items) And that isn’t accounting for the steep 145% tariffs that Trump recently slapped on Chinese imports it is certainly possible that Chinese manufacturers are copying a high-quality design from higher-end architectural suppliers which provided the new decor to the White House I messaged the owners of Guangzhou Homemax Decorative Material Limited and a customer service agent named Ruth Fu quickly responded to my question about the item’s availability I followed up to ask if that was indeed their product hanging in the Oval Office The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment here is what the Oval Office looked like in November 2024 when President Biden met with the president of Indonesia: Kohl’s has fallen more than 40% since Buchanan started the job in January UnitedHealth reported spending $1.7 million protecting its C-suite Bookings for China-to-US shipping containers are down 44.5% from the same time last year New Treasury data shows a surge in border tax earnings from tariffs though they still fall short of some figures Trump’s been touting Stanley and Yeti’s distinctive insulated tumblers come from China What these big cups could cost after trade war increases might cause you to spit out your drink Luke Kawa4/21/25The “sell America” trade has reached levels not seen since the 1980sTraders are dumping US assets like mullets are back in style and “Endless Love” is topping the Billboard Hot 100 in part because it’s not an American asset the US Dollar Spot Index (which tracks the greenback relative to major developed market currencies) has fallen by more than 5% 10-year Treasury yields are up more than 10 basis points the last time this happened was September 1981 when the US economy was in the second leg lower of its double-dip recession The company has high short interest and the stock has risen significantly in the past week Its earnings report could be make or break for short sellers Investors don’t think the V-shaped recovery in financial markets is poised to become a full-blown check mark But neither do they fear a brisk return to a market in the kind of free fall markets endured in the sessions following the announcement of reciprocal tariffs on April 2 That’s the message from the options market, whose cautious tone has contrasted sharply with the blaring risk-on signals sent from the stock market Cboe Head of Derivatives Market Intelligence Mandy Xu said “We’re not seeing any upside chasing” in S&P 500 options She flagged that the ratio between the implied volatility of 25-delta out-of-the-money S&P 500 call options versus at-the-money options (or call skew) has dipped indicating meager demand for derivatives to capitalize on another leg back toward all-time highs over the next month measured fear: investors aren’t buying crash insurance — as seen by the relatively low demand for very far out-of-the-money put options compared to ones that are closer to the index’s current price — but a comparable measure of put skew is well above call skew It’s the first noteworthy divergence between put skew and crash insurance seen to date in 2025. As we recently wrote, traders have good reason to return to focus on run-of-the-mill risks rather than extremely large tail risks given the Trump administration’s willingness to moderate trade policy in response to perceived financial distress Relatively low call skew and rising put skew can have a fairly benign/positive interpretation: you don’t need to chase upside in the options market if you’ve already reengaged by buying stocks you have a need to hedge downside risk again Per Deutsche Bank strategists led by Parag Thatte equity positioning is moving higher and closer to neutral among discretionary investors while systematic investors are still very light relative to history Put it all together and it’s a pretty nuanced picture of a US stock market that has been anything but nuanced lately on a nine-session winning streak that seems poised to snap on Monday The record two-day rise in Taiwan’s currency comes as the US dollar is precariously perched relative to global currencies Luke Kawa16hTraders doubt the rally But they don’t fear another crash.Investors don’t think the V-shaped recovery in financial markets is poised to become a full-blown check mark US stocks opened well in the red amid fresh tariffs floated by President Donald Trump and a disorderly surge in Asian currencies, particularly Taiwan’s but spent most of the day clawing back those losses before faltering into the close The S&P 500’s nine-session winning streak was snapped with a 0.6% decline The Nasdaq 100 gave back 0.7% and the Russell 2000 brought up the rear with a 0.8% drop Every S&P 500 sector ETF outside of communication services and industrials closed in the red punctuated by a big drop in energy stocks as OPEC+ agreed to boost production again next month Shares of Netflix, Paramount, and other media giants slid after Trump claimed he’d slap a 100% tariff on foreign-made films to try to reverse Hollywood’s slowdown Berkshire Hathaway shares slipped 5% after longtime CEO Warren Buffett said he’d be turning the keys over to his successor Skechers stock jumped as much as 25% after the ’90s sneaker icon announced a $9.4 billion go-private deal with private equity firm 3G Capital Hims & Hers popped after the company appointed Nader Kabbani, a longtime Amazon exec Tyson Foods shares slid nearly 8% one of the worst performers in the S&P 500 after the company posted mixed Q2 results and beef sales fell for the sixth-straight quarter Marathon Digital shares fell after the company reported a dip in month-over-month bitcoin production sending its stock down nearly 9% ahead of its upcoming earnings report Gains on the day were led in part by Delta Airlines Hims slips after market despite earnings, revenue beatThe company reported that it has 2.37 million subscribers up 38% year over year but less than the 2.42 million analysts expected Danielle O'Neil was named 2025-2026 Teacher of the Year for Springfield Public Schools The event hosted by Foundation for Springfield Public Schools celebrated educators and support staff in the state's largest district is a physical education teacher at Sherwood Elementary Missouri native started her career with SPS in 2016 and taught at Pershing Middle School until 2018 She then taught for a year at Delaware Elementary from 2018-2019 before transitioning to her current role at Sherwood "I believe that movement is for everyone and PE should be a bridge between school I want my students to know that they are seen and I want their families to feel that same sense of belonging," she said I aim to create a culture where all students — regardless of background or ability — see physical activity as an essential and enjoyable part of life."

Moreno-Sherwood stepped into her role as Director of the Broadening Opportunity through Leadership and Diversity (BOLD) Center in 2022 she brought with her not only a strong variety of experiences in higher education but a personal understanding of what it means to navigate college as a first-generation student in STEM she’s being recognized across the entire University of Colorado system for her unwavering commitment to equity and inclusion Moreno-Sherwood is the recipient of the 2025 President’s Inclusive Excellence Award one of the university’s highest honors for individuals who go above and beyond to build inclusive and empowering communities The annual awards celebrate those who have made significant contributions to removing barriers and embedding inclusivity into the CU community dean of the College of Engineering and Applied Science said Moreno-Sherwood’s unwavering commitment has profoundly impacted the college community “Amy’s leadership of the BOLD Center has elevated efforts to support engineering students of all backgrounds,” Molenaar said “Amy’s dedication and innovative approach are truly inspiring Her recognition with the President’s Inclusive Excellence Award is a testament to her exceptional contributions.” Originally from Des Moines, Iowa, Moreno-Sherwood has called CU Boulder home since 2010, holding a variety of student-facing and leadership roles across campus before joining the College of Engineering and Applied Science in 2019 She earned degrees in Animal Science and Cultural Anthropology from Iowa State University along with a master’s in Educational Leadership and Policy Studies and also holds a graduate certificate in Engineering Leadership and Management from CU Boulder Moreno-Sherwood’s leadership of the BOLD Center has elevated efforts to support engineering students from historically marginalized backgrounds the BOLD Center supports CU Engineering students to thrive personally and academically while preparing them to lead in an increasingly interconnected world she leads the kind of program that helped shape her own journey in STEM We sat down with Amy to talk about how her personal journey informs her leadership what drives her work and why inclusion is more than a goal My parents were working class and childcare wasn’t always accessible but we were given the space to explore the world around us nature and how things worked and I carried that with me I was also the first in my immediate family to go to college My mom got her GED and I remember being inspired by the teachers who believed in me I always knew education could be life-changing I ended up going to a research university not far from home though I’d never set foot on the campus before I was part of a multicultural scholars program and paired with a mentor I’m still in touch with today Being in that program and studying science just soaking up everything I could about the natural world opened my eyes to how education could transform not only my life “have you thought about working with students?” And that was the spark I originally thought I’d become a secondary education teacher but I kept coming back to higher education It was a space where I could make an impact helping others navigate access and gain opportunities it impacts people and never feels complete  Amy’s willingness to share and support colleagues in inclusive excellence is so impactful to our collective growth in this area I personally have learned much from her.”  “how can I improve the places and communities I’m a part of?” It takes intention There are moments where you have to decenter yourself really consider others’ perspectives and experiences and that’s not always easy with the volume of work that there is to do Sometimes the right or supportive thing is also the most uncomfortable or difficult thing That’s why it’s so important to stay rooted in your values and keep going I’ve had the privilege of working with many students What keeps me going is that connection to their stories and dreams When I reflect on my own college experience I didn’t know I was first-generation until someone told me I didn’t know I was navigating systems that weren’t built for me until I was in them when I see students who show up at the BOLD Center with all the potential in the world I want to make sure we’re creating an environment where they can thrive  Amy’s ability to foster community and create pathways for underrepresented voices to thrive is remarkable Her contributions have not only enriched the CU Boulder community but have also inspired others to take actionable steps toward building a more inclusive environment.” assistant dean for access & community Engagement It’s easy to retreat or second-guess yourself when you’re navigating difficult decisions process challenges with and stay rooted with Patricia Gonzalez over at the College of Arts & Sciences to launch our Justice Diversity & Inclusion Leaders Community of Practice We wanted a space where people leading this work could come together and feel supported our tagline remains: “you’ll always have a seat at our table.” Because there are times when you won’t be invited into certain spaces Be able to communicate your values clearly and consistently inspire authenticity and foster greater understanding I am very grateful for the community in the BOLD Center and the college for validating the impacts and importance of our staff and faculty representing our students I am cognizant of my background and positionality as a leader in our college My hope is to inspire our students and staff to see themselves in leadership positions and work to achieve even greater success Positive representation can also shift public opinion foster greater understanding between different cultures and communities and affect resources I want to ensure that the needs and perspectives of our community are reflected so that we can have more effective services So many of our students are driven by a desire to solve problems they’ve experienced firsthand—lack of access they need an environment that recognizes their experiences Engineering impacts every corner of our world And the best solutions are built when diverse voices and perspectives are at the table you need spaces where people feel like they matter where their ideas are welcomed and where they can develop the skills to collaborate across differences it is critical to understand that it is not truly excellent unless it is inclusive It’s been just over three years in this role and five with the college—it’s a joy I think back to my own journey: setting foot on campus for the first time not fully knowing what a major consisted of or what careers were even possible Our students are coming in with different backgrounds we’re focused on helping students feel seen removing barriers and making sure people know they matter We want students to graduate not just with degrees but with a strong sense of self and community It’s been so rewarding to see how the Center has grown into a place of connection and innovation The work our students are doing: it’s going to change lives and impact the world  I can’t imagine my time at CU being the same without Amy’s guidance She helped me navigate some difficult times in life and I want to thank her for being a huge part of that." I want them to leave knowing: This place saw me I hope they feel a stronger sense of who they are and what they’re capable of That there’s a community behind them—cheering them on celebrating their wins and showing up in tough times That sense of belonging can make all the difference they go on to shape the world in amazing ways And I’m honored to be even a small part of that journey I want to start with our staff and students at the BOLD Center who show up every day with authenticity They generate hope and that hope is essential for this work supporting peers or sharing their stories with industry partners they’re showing what inclusive excellence looks like in action You could name any one of them for their dedication to students the relationships they build and the collaborations they spark I’m also incredibly grateful to our college leadership for being willing to innovate and invest in this important work It takes people in key places to say yes to new ideas and push for change we’ve all worked hard to build something meaningful Innovation and impact speak directly to the work we’ve been doing And the recognition tells us we’re on the right track It reminds us that inclusive excellence isn’t just a value statement It’s about recognizing that people come in with different circumstances and that we have a responsibility to make sure everyone has a fair chance to thrive and succeed we want to make sure that our organization and students are really set up for success by having all the resources we need to be sustainable We are constantly enhancing our programming scholarships and services that we’re offering for our students I’m really excited knowing that we are a pivotal piece of student success not only for our college I expect some big things to come in the future                     Phone: 303-492-5071 Email: cueng@colorado.edu University of Colorado Boulder Privacy • Legal & Trademarks • Campus Map University of Colorado Boulder Data, defense, and AI software company Palantir is due to report results after the close of trading Monday, with the expectations priced into the shares — they’re flirting with record highs — implying a rock ’n’ roll result And for good reason.

Instead of our current complex capped-profit structure — which made sense when it looked like there might be one dominant AGI effort but doesn’t in a world of many great AGI companies — we are moving to a normal capital structure where everyone has stock.” CEO Sam Altman wrote in a letter to employees: OpenAI would have to complete its transition to a public benefit corporation by the end of the year SoftBank would only be on the hook for $20 billion Most people who spend a lot of time on the web might realize they should be careful about what they search for Your browser saves your history of what sites you’ve searched for and visited and the pervasive ad tech on those sites tracks you across the web But what about the chatbots you converse with daily How easy is it to limit or remove your sensitive queries from your AI’s “memory” That’s the question that The Washington Post asked when it tested out Meta’s new AI app. The testing found that it wasn’t easy to purge sensitive information from Meta AI’s chat history compared to OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Google’s Gemini app Meta recently announced that “almost a billion” monthly active users are using Meta AI across its family of apps And despite Meta’s assertion that it will try to not add sensitive topics to its “memory file,” columnist Geoffrey Fowler found that it had Fowler also said the risk is not just that you might get shown ads for topics you chat with your AI about, but that your queries could be used to train their AI systems going forward. That’s the question that The Washington Post asked when it tested out Meta’s new AI app. The testing found that it wasn’t easy to purge sensitive information from Meta AI’s chat history compared to OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Google’s Gemini app “Meta says it tries not to add sensitive topics to your Memory file, but my tests found it recorded plenty — like fertility and payday loans. What’s worse, the Meta AI app does not give you the ability to prevent it from saving chats or memories. (The closest you can get is to use the Meta AI website without logging in.) Nor does Meta AI offer a ‘temporary’ mode that keeps a conversation out of your history.” Fowler also said the risk is not just that you might get shown ads for topics you chat with your AI about but that your queries could be used to train their AI systems going forward and Meta are still investing big in data centers and infrastructure to support their AI ambitions The refreshed Model Y was supposed to spur more Tesla purchases but it’s already on sale suggesting there isn’t as much pent-up demand as the EV company would have liked Just weeks after launching the less expensive version of the Model Y, the company is offering reduced interest rates of 1.99% APR or $0 due at signing, Electrek reports That’s right on the heals of another $2,000 discount Tesla offered to existing Model Y owners “This equates to a direct discount on the brand new vehicle that was supposed to spark Tesla’s demand back,” Electrek wrote pegging the value of the break at a “few thousand dollars.” Industry experts had speculated that some of Tesla’s declining vehicle sales might have had to do with people waiting for the new Model Y to make a purchase.

It would be about tariffs: whether companies saw a rush of activity from customers trying to beat the imposition of levies and how their outlooks had changed in light of the upheaval to trade — if they deigned to even offer an outlook at all had the potential to be a bit of a head-fake about a world that was no longer going to exist Companies that do well aren’t seeing their stocks soar perhaps because of that aforementioned line of thinking or because the solid results came along with underwhelming guidance “Companies which have beaten on both EPS and sales have outperformed the S&P 500 by 0.2ppt the following day well below the historical average of 1.5ppt — suggesting 1Q results matter less amid looming uncertainty over tariffs/the macro and the potential impact on the rest of the year,” wrote Savita Subramanian head of US equity and quantitative strategy at Bank of America “Misses have underperformed by 3.9ppt the subsequent day more than the historical average of 2.5ppt.” But that may be missing the forest for the trees here when it comes to telling another simple story about earnings season: it’s been really good earnings have surprised to the upside by a colossal amount profits per share have exceeded expectations by a whopping 9.3% among S&P 500 companies that have reported That’s the best in at least the past couple years, and contrasts wildly with what analysts had been doing in a frenzied fashion ahead of earnings season: chopping estimates more often than they had since Covid are exceeding expectations by much less than earnings What this tells us is that companies were great at managing margins (yet again!) maximizing their earnings for every dollar of sales This may become a challenge in the event that tariffs push input costs materially higher But markets are always (supposedly) forward-looking And what they seem to be looking forward to is a world where tariffs aren’t as high as traders would have feared a few short weeks ago and Corporate America is in a much better starting position than previously thought to grapple with whatever awaits (Chris Delmas/Getty Images)WASTEDGaming savior “GTA 6” just got pushed back to next year sending Take-Two stock plunging“Grand Theft Auto VI” was set to be the biggest release of 2025 Fans will have to wait a little longer to play the biggest game of the decade Take-Two Interactive on Friday morning announced that it’s delaying the release of “Grand Theft Auto VI” — a game expected to break $1 billion in preorder sales alone — from fall 2025 to May 26 Some researchers have forecast $3.2 billion sales for “GTA 6” in its first year — a figure that would roughly double 2024’s top box office performer “We need this extra time to deliver at the level of quality you expect and deserve,” Take-Two’s label, Rockstar, said in a statement Expect competitor gaming studios to start rapidly announcing fall release dates; many were delaying or holding off on setting official dates in the chance they became overshadowed by the massive game More BusinessSee all BusinessMax KnoblauchBuilt Ford Rough4hFord suspends 2025 guidance expects a $1.5 billion tariff hit this yearThe automaker more insulated from tariffs than many rivals reported its first-quarter earnings on Monday Analysts at UBS have been looking at the performance of the big three cloud computing businesses: Google Cloud, Amazon’s AWS, and Microsoft’s Azure Azure is beating its rivals, showing a strong 66% sequential revenue growth in its Q1 earnings UBS thinks a combination of different factors could be at play: An increase in enterprise customers finally migrating to the cloud Migration of Microsoft legacy server customers to Azure Customers flocking to Azure’s “industry-leading” stack for AI services Partner OpenAI may have made a substantial Azure commitment The chunky shoe icon is leaving Wall Street after 26 years on the market United Airlines flights account for roughly three-quarters of the air traffic in and out of Newark Liberty International Airport Over the weekend, the carrier announced it’s cutting 35 round-trip Newark flights, or about 10% of its daily schedule at the airport.

The volume of shipping containers forecast to arrive at the Port of Los Angeles is falling off a cliff Looking at the actual bookings for shipping containers coming from China to the US (known as twenty-foot equivalent units According to data from supply chain analytics firm Vizion bookings for China-to-US TEUs for the week of April 13 are down 44.5% from the same period last year Vizion’s report on the latest data underscored the speed and depth of the decline: “Between the week of March 24 and April 14 dropped from 134,911 to 81,239 TEUs — a sharp 39.9% decrease in just three weeks The decline highlights the severity of the market’s reaction to the April 4 and April 5 tariff announcements as shippers paused new movements mid-cycle to reassess cost Looking at both the shipping bookings and the volume of containers arriving at ports then pulled back sharply as new tariff policies introduced widespread uncertainty visible in booking data well before they appear at ports or in

disconnect between rising stocks and skittish volatility marketsThe S&P 500’s streak of seven straight sessions in the green while the front of the VIX futures curve stays inverted is the longest such run on record The raucous recovery in US stock markets has yet to be validated by volatility markets the signals being sent between these two asset classes have never conflicted for as long as they have recently The S&P 500 has gained for seven straight sessions the front of the VIX futures curve has remained inverted — that is the front-month future has been trading above the second-month future The front of the VIX futures curve has been in that term structure for the past 23 sessions suggesting (loosely) that the S&P 500 is expected to be more volatile over the coming month than the month after that which tracks the 30-day implied volatility of the S&P 500 using out-of-the-money options prices That’s because markets are usually going up and the time that we should be concerned about stocks falling is at some undetermined time in the future An inverted VIX curve is a signal that the time for worry is now a signal that the worst of the momentum breakdown and tariff-enhanced recession fears are in the rearview mirror the volatility markets are telling traders to stay on guard while the price action in the stock market is suggesting that worry is steadily melting away The seven consecutive sessions of the S&P 500 rising while the front of the VIX curve stays inverted is the longest such streak on record going back to the introduction of VIX futures in 2004 “Some like to anthropomorphize the VIX by referring to it as the fear index but what it really captures is the current health of the market,” said Dave Roberts an independent trader of volatility and vol products the inverted curve is still signaling we are in a bear market environment where stocks are susceptible to sharp drops.” The next-longest streak of this nature came in February 2018, after the blowup of two exchange-traded products that allowed traders to bet on market calm had a scarring effect on volatility markets that outlived the impact on the stock market A high VIX means stocks are being priced to move a lot — up or down pricing high implied volatility along with an inverted VIX curve has tended to coincide with markets going down (Justin Sullivan/Getty Images)Tumbling into oblivion: This product is arguably the most uniquely screwed by the tariffs on ChinaStanley and Yeti’s distinctive insulated tumblers come from China Recently we took a deep dive into trade data, looking at what goods we imported almost exclusively from China One of the top categories of goods was described in the weird verbose language of international trade as: "VACUUM FLASKS AND OTHER VACUUM VESSELS COMPLETE WITH CASES; PARTS THEREOF OTHER THAN GLASS INNERS." Turns out that the US imported more than $1.6 billion worth of vacuum flasks and parts in 2024 and China supplied 96% of our imports of this category Basically this category covers metallic insulated bottles These happen to be really complicated things to make as you can see from this oddly fascinating video (do yourself a favor and turn the sound off):  One of the most successful companies in this category is Stanley. The privately owned, 112-year-old brand is probably most well known for a single product that became an unlikely hit and was even the target of a “Saturday Night Live” skit poking fun at the popular “big dumb cups.” Stanley even has its own official loyalty program featuring early access to new tumbler “drops,” with special perks for superfans who collect the most points Buyers can customize their Quencher Flowstate Tumblers with 32 different colors along with custom graphics and engraved monograms Ship manifest data from ImportYeti shows that in the past year PMI Worldwide — Stanley’s parent company — imported vacuum flasks via sea shipments mainly from suppliers in China with a smaller amount coming from Vietnam and Thailand While the company may have other suppliers delivering goods over land or via air shipping that would not show up in this data having such reliance on Chinese suppliers for its star product could cause some pain for the company A 40-ounce Quencher H2.0 Flowstate Tumbler (in Cornflower Gloss) sells for $45 on Stanley’s website If subjected to the full 145% tariff on Chinese imports a price that even Stanley die-hards might find hard to swallow Another company that may not be insulated from the effects of President Trump’s tariffs is Yeti In 2024, Yeti’s total revenue was $1.83 billion, and 60% of that (just over $1 billion) came from its drinkware line, most of which features mugs and tumblers with “kitchen-grade, 18/8 stainless-steel, double-wall vacuum insulation,” according to the company’s 2024 annual report The company said that it does not own any of its own manufacturing facilities, and that just two manufacturers made up 74% of its drinkware supply in 2024. ImportYeti data (no relation) also shows that the vast majority of Yeti’s sea shipments of vacuum flasks originated from China Yeti warned in its annual report about the significant negative impact higher tariffs could have on the business: “Tariffs have the potential to significantly raise the cost of our products there can be no assurance that we will be able to shift manufacturing and supply agreements to non-impacted countries The company also predicted that steep tariffs would eat away at profit margins:  we may suffer margin erosion or be required to raise our prices negatively impact our results of operations the imposition of tariffs on products that we export to international markets could make such products more expensive compared to those of our competitors if we pass related additional costs on to our customers which may also result in the loss of customers Yeti’s Rambler 64-ounce insulated water bottle in “key lime” sells for $65 on the company’s website If the full 145% tariffs were applied to this bottle Yeti and

the US but that was offset by international demand Short-term rental giant Airbnb is down more than 5% in after-hours trading as it cited “softer results” in the US despite reporting quarterly results that beat analysts’ estimates thanks to steady demand for international travel and more in-app booking Airbnb reported adjusted earnings per share of $0.25 compared to the $0.23 analysts polled by FactSet were expecting slightly higher than the $2.26 analysts were penciling in Gross bookings — the amount of money people spent on the platform — came in at $24.5 billion for the quarter in line with the Street’s estimates and up from $22.9 billion in the same period last year Airbnb also reported some payoff for work it’s done improving its mobile app with a growing share of nights booked coming from the app The company said it saw strong demand for travel in Latin America the company saw “relatively softer results which we believe has been largely driven by broader economic uncertainties.” Airbnb said it expects to make between $2.99 billion and $3.05 billion in revenue in the second quarter of 2025 “By offering guests a wide range of listings around the world and providing hosts economic opportunity we believe our model can adapt to periods of consumer uncertainty,” the company said It also bought back $807 million in shares in the first quarter leaving $2.5 billion remaining under its $6 billion repurchase authorization Airbnb’s peer, Booking Holdings also reported results on Wednesday that solidly topped analysts estimates but still saw its shares

Combined with a rosy earnings from hyperscaler Microsoft, the capex announcement also sent AI stocks higher is not just “additional data center investments to support our AI efforts,” but also “an increase in the expected cost of infrastructure hardware.” Li wouldn’t break down what portion of the growth was coming from expansion versus higher costs “The higher costs we expect to incur for infrastructure hardware this year really comes from suppliers who source from countries around the world And there’s just a lot of uncertainty around this And so that is both reflected in the wider range that we are giving And we’re also working on our end on mitigations by optimizing our supply chain And our outlook is really trying to reflect our best understanding of the potential impact this year across all of that uncertainty.” tariffs are going to make building AI infrastructure more expensive since many of the parts and equipment are sourced from places like China cofounder and CEO of Spotify (Presley Ann/Getty Images)Profits tripled and record Q1 free cash flow — so why is Spotify sinking?Spotify’s earnings had a lot to like but near-term “noise” might be dampening investors’ appetite for the music streaming stock This morning, Spotify reported that it had 678 million monthly active users at the end of Q1 making 1 in 12 people on earth a user of the green streaming machine Paid subscribers to the music platform also rose 12% to some 268 million helping drive the company’s operating profit to €509 million — more than triple the figure notched in the same quarter a year ago as the company’s continued focus on profitability nearly makes up for years of consistent losses Spotify’s stock is down sharply in early premarket trading as traders ditch SPOT after comments made by the company’s CEO and a weaker user growth forecast In the press release detailing the Q1 results cofounder Daniel Ek said that “the short term may bring some noise but we remain confident in the long-term story and the direction we’re heading in feels clearer than ever.” That comment coupled with a forecast for monthly active users to hit 689 million in Q2 appears to be enough to shake confidence in the growth story at Spotify Wall Street estimates compiled by FactSet reveal that analysts were expecting Spotify to get to ~695 million monthly active users by the end of Q2 but Spotify’s guidance implies just 2% MAU growth relative to where things were at the end of last year — a less exciting trajectory than Wall Street had anticipated On Monday, Spotify announced that it had already paid out more than $100 million to creators in the first quarter of 2025 Spotify has been doubling down on incentivizing creators to publish on the platform with revenue-sharing agreements More details are expected on the earnings conference call at 8 a.m (Artur Widak/Getty Images)Chart: Tesla’s profits would evaporate if not for these regulatory creditsTrump has threatened federal support for EVs Last quarter was bad for Tesla but it would have been much worse had it not been for the money the company gets from regulatory credits gets a surplus of them from the government at no cost and then sells them to automakers that don’t meet regulatory requirements Tesla brought in $595 million in regulatory credits revenue it represents 145% of Tesla’s $409 million in net profit last quarter Tesla’s profit fell 71% last quarter compared to a year earlier;
