☆ Uber shares pop on inclusion in S&P 500
  + stars: | 2023-12-01 | by ( Jordan Novet Ari Levy | Jordan Novet | Ari Levy | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +2 min
Uber shares rose 5% in extended trading on Friday after the ride-hailing company was added to the S&P 500 Index, replacing Sealed Air Corp. A company's stock price often rises on news that it's joining the S&P 500 because fund managers who track the benchmark, which gets updated each quarter, have to acquire the shares. Uber shares debuted on the New York Stock Exchange in 2019, but the company was burning cash as it had to pay drivers enough money to stay competitive in a low-margin business. Uber has a market cap of about $118 billion, while the median market cap of companies in the S&P 500 is just over $31 billion. WATCH: Uber into the S&P 500

Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella told CNBC's Jon Fortt on Monday that the governance structure of OpenAI needs to change, three days after the sudden firing CEO Sam Altman. Early Monday morning Nadella said that Altman, Brockman and their colleagues would join Microsoft as part of a new AI research group. That post followed news that ex-Twitch CEO Emmett Shear had been named OpenAI interim head as Altman looked to depart. Nadella told Fortt that Microsoft respects OpenAI's nonprofit roots and shares its belief that AI needs to be developed and rolled out in a safe manner.

Marc Benioff, CEO of Salesforce.com, speaks during a keynote at the Dreamforce 2023 conference in San Francisco on Sept. 12, 2023. Salesforce announced in a Tuesday social media post that the business software maker's Dreamforce conference for customers and partners will remain in San Francisco for one more year. In an X post of his own, Benioff said San Francisco is "now the AI capital of the world." Salesforce used this year's Dreamforce conference to show off AI capabilities integrating with technology from Anthropic and OpenAI. San Francisco reported 620 accidental drug overdose deaths in 2022, down from 640 in 2021 and 725 in 2020.

☆ Nvidia and Capital One back Databricks at $43 billion valuation in latest funding round
  + stars: | 2023-09-14 | by ( Jordan Novet Ari Levy | Jordan Novet | Ari Levy | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +1 min
As some high-valued tech startups look to the long-dormant IPO market for their next funding round, Databricks is still finding investors that are happy to keep the company private, at least for now. Databricks, which sells data analytics software, said Thursday that it raised more than $500 million in fresh capital at a $43 billion valuation. Founded in 2013 and based in San Francisco, Databricks last announced funding during the boom market of 2021, at a $38 billion valuation. However, unlike fellow software IPO candidates Canva and Stripe, Databricks has managed to maintain its share price. In the latest round, shares were sold at $73.50 a piece, roughly equal to where they were priced in 2021.

☆ Bret Taylor steps down as co-CEO of Salesforce, leaving Marc Benioff alone at the helm
  + stars: | 2022-11-30 | by ( Jordan Novet Ari Levy | Jordan Novet | Ari Levy | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +4 min
Salesforce said Wednesday that Bret Taylor will step down as co-CEO on Jan. 31, leaving Marc Benioff alone again at the top of the cloud software company he co-founded in 1999. Benioff closely embraced Taylor, who joined the company in 2016, when he sold his productivity software startup Quip to Salesforce. "I am grateful for six fantastic years at Salesforce," Taylor said in a statement on Wednesday. Before Quip, Taylor sold FriendFeed to Facebook and helped to create Google Maps. But the company's stock was down as much as 6% in after-hours trading.
