In fact, some 63% of U.S. adults sleep less than the recommended seven to nine hours a night, according to the National Sleep Foundation's Sleep Health Index. There are a myriad of products in the sleep arena — from mattresses and sleep supplements to sleep apnea devices and tech wearables that track sleep. Treating sleep conditions Health conditions can also impact the ability to get a good night's rest, like insomnia and sleep apnea.

▼ + stars: | 2023-08-29 | by ( Lora Kolodny | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +3 min

Redwood Materials, the battery and e-waste recycling startup founded by former Tesla CTO JB Straubel, announced Tuesday that it has closed a $1 billion funding round to expand operations in the U.S. The company takes spent electric vehicle batteries, breaks them down, and uses the metals from them —including nickel, copper, cobalt, and lithium — to produce new components that can go into electric vehicle batteries. One of Redwood's major goals is to produce battery components domestically to reduce some of the global trade and geopolitical risks around the electric vehicle industry. As CNBC previously reported, earlier this year Redwood locked in a $2 billion loan commitment from the Department of Energy. For its new growth funding round, Goldman Sachs Asset Management, Capricorn's Technology Impact Fund, and other un-named funds advised by T. Rowe Price Associates led the deal, according to a company statement.

☆ The digital ad market is showing signs of stabilization. How the pros are playing it

The signs of stabilization are perhaps most evident through recent better-than-feared earnings from behemoths like Alphabet and Meta Platforms as they focus on cost cuts and efficiency after 2022's rout. Meta Platforms said ad revenue rose about 12% last quarter from the prior year. Buying the '800-pound gorilla' It's hard to ignore Alphabet or Meta Platforms when investing in the advertising industry. On the digital side, Hanna Howard, a research analyst at GAMCO Investors, opts for Meta Platforms.

July 25 (Reuters) - Artificial intelligence is expected to pay off big for tech giants including Microsoft (MSFT.O) and Alphabet (GOOGL.O) someday. Microsoft is bearing AI costs in two ways, analysts said: to power its own products such as its forthcoming $30-a-month Copilot AI assistant, and to serve companies wanting to use its Azure cloud computing services to create AI products. "They're buying a bunch of H100s," said Ben Bajarin, chief executive and principal analyst of Creative Strategies, referring to Nvidia's flagship chips for AI. Microsoft may be "aggressively buying Nvidia chips, given Microsoft does not have its own silicon as an alternative," said Atlantic Equities analyst James Cordwell. "The message on inflection point was the same," from Microsoft and Google, said Gene Munster, managing partner at Deepwater Asset Management, "but the difference was Microsoft investors wanted to see more."

☆ Tesla's Full Self-Driving feature could add $20 billion a year in revenue, Gene Munster says
▼ + stars: | 2023-07-20 | by ( Jennifer Sor | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +2 min

Tesla's FSD software could bring major gains to the company's revenue, Gene Munster said. If Tesla licenses out the technology and lowers the price, that could add up to $20 billion a year. Sharing Tesla's FSD technology could be a major boost, since competitors are likely to use a first-to-market technology instead of spending money to develop their own version. By the fifth year, that could likely expand to an additional $20 billion in annual revenue, he added. "While these targets are many years away, it illustrates the FSD licensing opportunity is meaningful and worth the wait,"Munster said.

Getting more cars on the road would help Tesla maintain its dominant U.S. market share in "turbulent times" and give it access to precious usage data needed to train the artificial intelligence models behind its self-driving technology. The billionaire believes full self-driving (FSD) could one day account for most of Tesla's value and give it a cushion rivals lack as they try to turn their EV operations profitable. "They're not an AI play the way Microsoft or Nvidia is an AI play," said Thomas Martin, senior portfolio manager at Tesla shareholder Globalt Investments. "They're more of an AI play the way a regular business is an AI play, except that this race to full self-driving has always been an AI issue, and it's always been based on data. Wells Fargo analysts said FSD's adoption could be impeded by its price, which Musk said was low.

Evercore ISI's Mark Mahaney wrote in a recent note that Threads "poses very little downside" risk to Meta's business, offering "upside optionality" for revenues and profits.
