Grab’s One-Off Gain And Buyback Lift Full-Year Guidance
Grab Holdings (NASDAQ: $Grab Holdings(GRAB)$ ) reported net profit of US$235 million for the second quarter of 2026 (2Q2026), up sharply from US$20 million a year ago.

$Tesla Motors(TSLA)$ 's cycle ended with two genuinely different verdicts on the table at once.

Nvidia Wants US$500 Billion. The Market Started Asking Where the Money Comes From
Hello. The biggest story last night was Nvidia out raising money: it is working with Blackstone, BlackRock, Goldman Sachs, KKR and others on a consortium to fund AI infrastructure, for as much as US$500 billion, to be spent on AI chips, power generation and data centres. $英伟达(NVDA)$ fell 2.86 per cent on the news. It didn't fall because demand is short. It fell because people have started to wonder whether Nvidia is creating that demand itself: it has signed agreements worth hundreds of billions of dollars with participants across the AI ecosystem, lifting overall demand and valuations, while those counterparties themselves depend on the AI boom staying alive. That structure has a name. Circular financing. Jensen Huang answered on
