Amazon became a $3 trillion company for the first time as its shares reached a record high, supported by the strongest AWS cloud growth in more than four years and rising demand for AI computing services.

The milestone strengthens Amazon’s position among the world’s largest technology companies as heavy investment in data centers, Anthropic, and OpenAI turns its cloud division into a larger AI growth engine.

The U.S. government finalized voluntary cybersecurity tests for advanced AI, with OpenAI, Google, and Anthropic expected to discuss how their most capable models will be evaluated for hacking risks.

The plan follows internal tests in which AI agents breached company systems or escaped controlled environments, putting greater pressure on major developers to prove their models can be released without creating new cybersecurity threats.

KKR closed a record $19.2 billion infrastructure fund focused mainly on North America and Western Europe, giving the firm fresh capital for data centers, energy systems, transportation, and other essential assets.

The asset sale funds Project Agility, the company’s strategic pivot toward core logistics and controlled environment agriculture.

When a cash-strapped company with $134 million in revenue finds $16 million, the market prices the survival optionality aggressively.

T3 Defense [DFNS] $61.50 (+122.18%)

T3 Defense went from $27.68 Friday to $63.20 Monday, continuing a run that has taken it from under $5 on July 22 to one of the most-watched thin-float stories of the summer.

Research reports calling it uninvestable haven’t slowed the momentum. Project35 and the Iran war defense demand narrative keep finding new buyers, and the 125-to-1 reverse split float keeps producing outsized moves.

Strong Buy rated.

Universe Pharmaceuticals [UPC] $6.48 (+105.06%)

Universe Pharmaceuticals is a health technology company at a $2 million market cap running at 21.82x average daily volume today.

The +101% gain reflects extreme thin-float mechanics in a company with minimal liquidity.

PN Smart Energy [PN] $8.84 (-51.19%)

PN Smart Energy has now fallen from $21.24 Thursday to $8.51 Monday — a 60% collapse in three sessions.

The AI data center power thesis is intact. The capital structure is not.

Inno Holdings [INHD] $9.42 (-47.67%)

Inno Holdings continues its reversal from the $18 level where it closed last Thursday. The stock has now given back most of July’s gains at $44.8 million market cap.

The company’s producer manufacturing operations haven’t generated a specific positive catalyst recently, and in a session where small-cap industrial names are mostly catching secondary bids from the Mag Seven rally rather than primary ones, the momentum unwind continues.

Game Your Game [GYGY] $6.28 (-31.28%)

Game Your Game’s golf analytics platform has been in a sustained slide since Thursday’s close at $9.08. Today the stock reached near $6.00 at $89.98 million market cap, giving back the summer’s gains.

Golf technology is a niche sector, and the stock had been running ahead of the business fundamentals.

His official salary? $400,000 a year.
