Despite a not-insignificant downturn since July, IBM’s stock has maintained a relatively impressive upward trajectory. Over the past year, the shares have appreciated by approximately 20%, and over the past three years, the value has nearly doubled. A remarkable performance by any measure, this price appreciation underscores Wall Street’s growing obsession with IBM.

Intel’s divestiture of its 51% stake in Altera to Silver Lake for $3.3 billion marks a calculated step in CEO Lip-Bu Tan’s restructuring agenda. By deconsolidating Altera’s financials, the company anticipates a $16.8 billion adjusted operating cost forecast for 2024-a $0.2 billion reduction from prior guidance. While this maneuver improves balance sheet liquidity, it also raises questions about the long-term viability of relying on asset sales to mask underperformance in core segments.

So far in this peculiar year of 2025, Oklo’s stock has soared to an almost surreal elevation, an unsettling increase of 330%.

For all its grandeur, Roblox is a paradox wrapped in a promise. It is a seed planted in fertile soil, yet the rains of profitability have not come. The headlines sing of a next-generation platform, but the land is parched, and the crops are still green.

Musk argues that 80% of Tesla’s future value will come from a humanoid robot named Optimus. Imagine that: a machine that walks and talks, but also makes you a millionaire. He bought 2.57 million shares for about $1 billion. That’s a lot of money. Or as one might say, it’s less than the cost of a Mars colony.

And wouldn’t you know it, Citigroup gets the credit, bless their polished boots.
