Nextracker lost around 32% of its value in between its August earnings report and Wednesday's close — a frustrating decline. It's too early to act, given the results of next week's contests could move shares of Nextracker and its peers considerably. "We were pleasantly surprised and gratified that this was the best solar earnings we've seen this quarter," Jim Cramer said Thursday. Nextracker Why we own it: Nextracker makes industry-leading tracking technology, which enables large-scale solar panel installations to follow the sun's movement and increase their power generation. Guidance Nextracker reaffirmed its fiscal 2025 guidance for revenue while upping its outlook for a pair of profitability metrics.

Fans interfere with Mookie Betts #50 of the Los Angeles Dodgers as he attempts to catch a fly ball in foul territory during the first inning of Game Four of the 2024 World Series against the New York Yankees at Yankee Stadium on Tuesday in New York. “Last night two fans were ejected from Yankee Stadium for egregious and unacceptable physical contact with Dodgers outfielder Mookie Betts," the Yankees said in a statement on Wednesday.

Lawyers for Sean "Diddy" Combs condemned government "leaks" relating to his sex-trafficking case. He seeks "a hearing and other remedies" from what he calls prejudicial leaks by DHS agents. Combs attorneys Marc Agnifilo and Teny Geragos made the allegations in the filing to the federal judge in Manhattan now assigned to the case. Agents deployed "military-style armored vehicles, with scores of heavily armed agents in full combat gear," according to the Combs filing. Wednesday's letter also alerts the judge that the parties intend to discuss on Thursday what federal prosecutors called the "voluminous" evidence in the case.

☆ Transition to next-generation AI chips and 2 other pressing questions ahead of Nvidia's earnings
▼ + stars: | 2024-05-22 | by ( Zev Fima | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +8 min

Nvidia's Hopper chips include the H100, which was announced in 2022 and faced severe supply shortages last year as the AI gold rush intensified. Tuesday's AWS news represents a pushout in demand for Nvidia chips, not a loss of it. That would be the so-called "digestion" phase for AI chips that Wall Street has been speculating about since last year. If anything, AWS deciding to wait for the more-powerful Blackwell chips could mean the digestion phase is further out on the horizon than initially thought. Unlike last year, when Nvidia's chips were in such short supply, there are now rival chips out there, such as AMD's MI300X, which is angling for a corner of the inferencing market .

☆ 3 surprises from Nvidia earnings help justify a one-day $250 billion boost to its market value

If that return isn't there, will they keep ordering the latest and greatest Nvidia chips? Despite the overall improvements in availability, Nvidia on Wednesday indicated it will face supply-and-demand imbalances with its upcoming AI chips. The U.S. government has said its export controls are designed to keep high-powered AI chips out of the hands of the Chinese military. In the November-through-January quarter, China accounted for a mid-single-digit percentage of Nvidia's $18.4 billion in data center revenue, according to the company. The fact Nvidia still booked China revenue in the hundreds of millions of dollars means it could take a further hit in the region.

It was called a “yellow flag” law, different from the “red flag” laws cropping up in other states to seize weapons from gun owners viewed as a threat. At a minimum, the Maine Gun Safety Coalition wants the state to ban assault weapons to prevent more mass shootings, said Cam Shannon, the group's chair. Wednesday night's mass shooting is especially difficult to stomach considering the recent failures to strengthen Maine’s gun laws, said Lynn Ellis of the Maine Gun Safety Coalition. The yellow flag law had the support of the Sportsman’s Alliance of Maine, which was instrumental in writing it and viewed other states' red flag laws as unconstitutional. It wasn't clear whether the yellow flag law should have stopped the suspect in the Lewiston shootings or where he got the gun he used.
