Paramount Skydance confirmed CNN’s Mark Thompson and CBS News’ Bari Weiss will retain their roles following its Warner Bros. Discovery merger, with both reporting to David Ellison and co-CEO Ynon Kreiz.

Rezolve AI shares rose 8.8% after signing a worldwide reseller agreement with Mastercard, allowing the payments company to sell subscriptions to its commerce software, including conversational shopping, product search, personalization, and checkout tools.

Nvidia and Broadcom remain relatively insulated from U.S. power shortages, according to Morgan Stanley’s latest assessment, while delayed AI deployments could expose memory, optical, and other component suppliers to postponed deliveries or canceled orders.

Eli Lilly received FDA orphan drug designation for olomorasib, its experimental treatment targeting KRAS G12C-mutant pancreatic cancer, providing development incentives and potential market exclusivity if approved as the company expands its oncology pipeline.

Vaxcyte’s VAX-31 vaccine met all primary endpoints in a pivotal adult trial, producing comparable immune responses across shared bacterial strains and stronger responses against additional strains, supporting a planned U.S. regulatory filing in 2028.

NFT Limited [MI] $7.00 (+683.00%)

NFT Limited exploded in a stock with a tiny float, roughly 231,000 shares outstanding after a 1-for-80 reverse split in May.

The online art and NFT trading platform, formerly Takung Art, offered only a routine foreign issuer filing, so this was a momentum chase more than a business update. Tiny floats move fast.

Veea [VEEA] $5.72 (+71.77%)

Veea jumped after agreeing to roll out its VeeaONE platform across 1,000 unattended retail locations for Trollee, a customer win with real-world legs.

The edge computing company was already running hot on a term sheet to merge with NovaGen at a $750 million combined valuation. A signed deployment plus a bigger deal on deck made for easy buying.

PTC surged after Schneider Electric agreed to buy the software maker for $205 per share in cash, a roughly $22.6 billion deal carrying a premium north of 42 percent.

The shares settled a bit under the offer, which is how the market treats a takeover that will not close until late 2027 and still needs regulatory sign-off.

Roze AI [RZAI] $12.91 (-35.13%)

Roze AI gave back more than a third of its value in one session, extending a slide that has left the Korean fire safety and physical AI company far below its record high near $35.

Revenue is only about $2 million while market value sits in the hundreds of millions, a gap that exposes a stock once momentum buyers step aside.

Velo3D [VELO] $9.57 (-14.55%)

Velo3D slid as traders kept trimming a rich run built partly on its SpaceX ties, with a short seller’s earlier report questioning that relationship still hanging over the shares. Shares dropped further following the departure of Chief Financial Officer James Suva.

The business has not cracked, since revenue grew 52 percent last quarter and guidance moved higher. But a space proxy trades on sentiment first and spreadsheets second.

Sphere Entertainment [SPHR] $110.80 (-13.61%)

Sphere Entertainment sank after Craig-Hallum downgraded the stock to Hold from Buy and slashed its price target to $132 from $170.

The call landed on a stock already trading well below its recent averages, which gave nervous holders a reason to head for the exit. Most analysts remain bullish, which makes this one dissenting voice carry an outsized echo.

What Elon is doing in AI is exactly what he’s done his entire career.  

He took over mobile payments with PayPal. Electric cars with Tesla. Commercial space launches with SpaceX.  

Now he’s doing it with Artificial Intelligence… and James Altucher believes we could see as many as 1.8 MILLION new “Musk millionaires” over the next decade from his impending AI takeover.  

According to James Altucher, there’s one company sitting at the dead center of his plan… and it's still trading for less than $100.  

James compiled all the critical details you need to position yourself early in this FREE Millionaire Maker Masterclass.
