Stock market today: Wall Street slips as the 'Magnificent 7' weighs down the market

NEW YORK — The Giants may have to host the Saints on Sunday without their top offensive weapon, too. Rookie receiver Malik Nabers has a hip flexor, underwent an MRI on Friday morning and is in jeopardy of possibly missing the Week 14 home game, head coach Brian Daboll said. Nabers is officially listed as questionable and did not practice Friday at all. “They’re not ruling him out right now,” Daboll said. Nabers, 21, got hurt during the 1-on-1 portion of Thursday’s practice. He was listed as limited with a groin injury but then underwent further testing that revealed the new hip injury, according to the coach. Dexter Lawrence, the Giants’ top defensive player, is already out for the season with an elbow injury. Top left Andrew Thomas (foot) is done for the season. Top linebacker Bobby Okereke (back) is week-to-week. Daniel Jones is on the Vikings. And now Nabers may be joining the long list of Giants players unable to stay on the field during the stretch of this horrific season. “We wish we had Dexter and Andrew Thomas and those guys, but we don’t,” Daboll said. “That’s the reality of the NFL. So they’re looking forward to the opportunity, which will be a big challenge.” The Giants (2-10) have lost seven straight games and are 0-6 at MetLife Stadium. The Saints (4-8) already fired their coach Dennis Allen, and New Orleans is 0-3 in outdoor games, 1-4 on the road and 0-4 in their last four away games. But they’re still 4.5-point favorites. Interim Saints head coach Darren Rizzi, a native of Hillsdale, N.J., said this week that his team was flying to the area on Friday to do a walkthrough in the elements to prepare the players for the cold weather. New Orleans lost dual threat quarterback/tight end Taysom Hill (knee) for the season last Sunday, but otherwise, they’re down backup guard Nick Saldiveri (knee) and wideout Bub Means (ankle). And defensive lineman Tanoh Kpassagnon (Achilles) and running back Kendre Miller (hamstring) are questionable. The Giants’ injury report is comparably bleak. Top corner Deonte Banks (rib), Lawrence and defensive tackle Rakeem Nuñez-Roches (neck/shoulder) and Okereke (back) are all out. Defensive tackle D.J. Davidson (shoulder) and offensive tackle Jermaine Eluemunor (quad) are doubtful. And six players are questionable: Nabers, offensive tackles Evan Neal (hip) and Chris Hubbard (knee), defensive tackle Jordon Riley (knee), corner Dru Phillips (shoulder) and linebacker Dyontae Johnson (ankle). Hubbard and Phillips did not practice Friday, either. ©2024 New York Daily News. Visit nydailynews.com .

We’ve been bombarded with Black Friday deals for weeks now. What used to be a one-day-only, in-store event has turned into a month-long celebration of “the best deals of the year.” So, in the spirit of the week, I’d like to share a relatively cheap and underappreciated AI play that I’ve been watching throughout 2024. Let’s take a look... If we were to play a word-association game and I said, “Artificial intelligence,” you might respond with something like “Nvidia,” or “Google,” or maybe “robots.” You probably would not say “Corning.” But as it turns out, this iconic glassmaker could benefit significantly from the AI boom, as a classic “pick and shovel” play. For more than 170 years, the Corning Inc. ( GLW ) name has been synonymous with best-of-breed glass products. It has continuously innovated and set the industry standard for excellence. Now, the path from AI to Corning is fairly direct and intuitive. AI technologies require enormous processing power from data centers. Because this new source of demand is surging, the companies that operate these “hyperscale” data centers are ramping up their capacity by building new centers and/or boosting the capacity and speed of existing centers. That means surging demand for the optical fiber and components that Corning produces. Importantly, the growing AI workloads not only require more data centers, but also more fiber optic connections per data center. According to Corning CEO Wendell Weeks, modern data center systems that rely on Nvidia Corp. ’s ( NVDA ) popular Hopper H100 GPUs require 10 times more fiber optics than a conventional data center server rack. As Weeks explained on CNBC, “We’ve invented new fibers, new cables, new connectors, and new custom integrated optical solutions to dramatically reduce installation costs, overall time and space, and carbon footprint.” Therefore, it is easy to see how more data center processing power means “more Corning.” On average, Corning estimates that data centers running AI large language models (LLMs) will require five times more optical connectivity than they have today. In 2024 alone, these hyperscalers – like Alphabet Inc. ( GOOGL ) , Amazon.com Inc. ( AMZN ) , and Meta Platforms Inc. ( META ) – invested about $200 billion in data centers, hardware, and other technologies required to deploy generative AI models. This massive investment caps a multiyear construction wave that has doubled the total capacity of hyperscale data centers during the last several years, according to Synergy Research Group. Synergy predicts capacity will double again during the next few years, as 120 to 130 new hyperscale centers come online each year. This building boom is finally showing up on Corning’s order books, with the company citing “strong adoption of our new optical connectivity products for Generative AI.” Coincident with the data center boom, Corning is seeing trend improvements in its other major end markets, like smartphones. As a result, Weeks believes a $3 billion to $5 billion revenue surge will land on Corning’s income statement over the next two years. If these expected sales arrive in a timely manner, Corning could earn as much as $3 per share within one year, and $3.50 within two years. At that level of profitability, Corning shares will be trading for 15 times 2026 earnings and just 13 times the 2027 result. Obviously, this hoped-for revenue surge is not yet in the door. But the trajectory is very promising. If/as/when this revenue does materialize, Corning shares could easily double from the current quote. So, as tech darlings like Nvidia and Amazon continue to prosper, I would favor the unloved Corning for the next phase of the AI boom.

Xencor CEO Bassil Dahiyat sells $1.19 million in stockSen. Warren shares bridge funding, 'political corruption' concernsBrandon Jones made the play of at Las Vegas. He snatched a Gardner Minshew overthrow in the third quarter and ran the interception back 37 yards to set the Broncos up in the red zone. That became the offense’s first touchdown of the afternoon two plays later when for an 18-yard score. Jones, though, was no guarantee to play in the first place. He missed last week’s win over Atlanta with an abdomen injury and then spent all of Saturday sick. Jones made the trip with the team but was added to the injury report Saturday and listed as questionable. Then he played all but two snaps defensively and made an impact. Jones finished with five tackles and continues to lead the team with 79. His next one will mark a new career high. On Sunday, Jones played sick and his fellow safety P.J. Locke continued to play with a cast protecting his surgically repaired thumb. “Their toughness, that’s stuff you can never question with those guys,” said defensive lineman and former University of Texas teammate Malcolm Roach. “I’ve been with them a long time and have been knowing some of the things they play with for a long time. Every day they can be out there you know they’re going to be out there. “When Brandon was down last week, you knew something was really going on. And similar with P.J. a few weeks ago with the hand. They’re one of the toughest guys in the room so each time they can be out there helping us, you know they’re going to be there.” Payton has been happy with the production from the revamped group — Devon Key has been the primary fill-in for Jones and Locke this year — after Denver released Justin Simmons in March and waived Caden Sterns during training camp. “We’re better overall on the back end at that position than we were a year ago,” Payton said Monday. “We’ve played a few different guys back there, but I like how we’re playing. We’re communicating. Our (coaches) on defense, Vance (Joseph) and Jim Leonhard and all those guys, are doing a fantastic job. “We’re definitely, I would say, further along and it was a good performance by those guys yesterday.” Roach said the consistency and reliability of the safety pair allows the front seven to not worry if aggressive play leads to the occasional mistake. “It might be kind of a bad mindset to have, but we know we can not do everything perfect up front because Brandon Jones and P.J. are going to erase it,” he said. “That’s what we like to say. They erase big plays. ... Instead of a 20-yard gain, it might turn into an 8-yard gain. They give a good presence back there, a steady presence.” The Broncos got good news on Sunday and Payton had a positive, if brief, update regarding defensive lineman Zach Allen on Monday. Allen missed the game with a heel injury that cropped up during practice Friday. He wore a boot during the game and watched from the sideline, but Payton said Monday it doesn’t appear to be a long-term injury. “We should be fine there,” Payton said. “I’m not going to hit any injuries today, but we should be fine there.” The Broncos have a pair of decisions to make on reserve list players in the next week. Denver must activate linebacker Drew Sanders back to the 53-man roster by Wednesday. If that doesn’t happen, Sanders’ 21-day practice window will close and he will revert to the physically unable-to-perform list and his season will be over. That’s ultimately what Denver decided to do with safety Delarrin Turner-Yell last week. Then the Broncos have until Dec. 4 for receiver Josh Reynolds before they must decide on activating him back to the roster.

Nearly half of American teenagers say they are online “constantly” despite concerns about the effects of social media and smartphones on their mental health, according to a new report published Thursday by the Pew Research Center. As in past years, YouTube was the single most popular platform teenagers used — 90% said they watched videos on the site, down slightly from 95% in 2022. Nearly three-quarters said they visit YouTube every day. There was a slight downward trend in several popular apps teens used. For instance, 63% of teens said they used TikTok, down from 67% and Snapchat slipped to 55% from 59%. This small decline could be due to pandemic-era restrictions easing up and kids having more time to see friends in person, but it's not enough to be truly meaningful . X saw the biggest decline among teenage users. Only 17% of teenagers said they use X, down from 23% in 2022, the year Elon Musk bought the platform. Reddit held steady at 14%. About 6% of teenagers said they use Threads, Meta's answer to X that launched in 2023. The report comes as countries around the world are grappling with how to handle the effects of social media on young people's well-being. Australia recently passed a law banning kids under 16 from social networks, though it's unclear how it will be able to enforce the age limit — and whether it will come with unintended consequences such as isolating vulnerable kids from their peers. Meta's messaging service WhatsApp was a rare exception in that it saw the number of teenage users increase, to 23% from 17% in 2022. Pew also asked kids how often they use various online platforms. Small but significant numbers said they are on them “almost constantly.” For YouTube, 15% reported constant use, for TikTok, 16% and for Snapchat, 13%. As in previous surveys, girls were more likely to use TikTok almost constantly while boys gravitated to YouTube. There was no meaningful gender difference in the use of Snapchat, Instagram and Facebook. Roughly a quarter of Black and Hispanic teens said they visit TikTok almost constantly, compared with just 8% of white teenagers. The report was based on a survey of 1,391 U.S. teens ages 13 to 17 conducted from Sept. 18 to Oct. 10, 2024.Giants receiver Malik Nabers could miss Saints game after MRI confirms hip flexorNow That ‘Barbie’ Is on Netflix, Can We Admit It’s Not a Feminist Masterpiece

Substitute Nick Woltemade scored a brace and captain Atakan Karazor his first-ever Bundesliga goal as VfB Stuttgart fought from two goals down to win 3-2 at home against Union Berlin. Union opened the scoring in the 37th minute from Danilho Doekhi's header which went in off the crossbar, with goalkeeper Alexander Nübel beaten. The visitors then struck again in the 48th when Robert Skov's intended cross fell into the far left corner of the net. But Woltemade, who came on in the second half, ran past goalkeeper Frederik Rönnow and fired into the roof of the net in the 51st. He followed that up by taking a through-ball from Karazor to flick the equaliser into the far right corner in the 59th. Rönnow then gifted Stuttgart the winner 10 minutes later when his bad pass under pressure fell straight to Karazor who converted into the bottom corner for his first goal in 118 top-flight games. Jordan Siebatcheu almost levelled after coming on when his deflected shot hit the crossbar, but Stuttgart held on for a fourth-straight victory over Union amid eerie silence in the final minutes after a reported medical emergency in the stands. "It is an amazing feeling to score," Karazor told streaming portal DAZN. "Nick was brutally important after coming on. He gave us a lot of strength. We are difficult to beat if we play like in the second half, and I hope that gives us motivation for the coming weeks." Stuttgart rose to sixth while Union remain 11th after a sixth league match without victory. Matchday 13 continues on Saturday and Sunday, with leaders Bayern Munich hosting Heidenheim, second-placed Eintracht Frankfurt playing Augsburg and third-placed champions Bayer Leverkusen facing St Pauli.AP Trending SummaryBrief at 2:51 p.m. ESTNone2025 will be a year the digital workspace takes center stage, according to Karen Gondoly, CEO at the Leostream Corporation. Gondoly is a 20-year IT veteran and she has provided to Digital Journal some key predictions regarding technologies, concepts and trends expected to evolve in 2025. Gondoly earned her B.S. and M.S. in aeronautical/astronautical engineering from Massachusetts Institute of Technology, working summers at NASA’s Langley Research Center. She has led product management at Leostream for more than 15 years and has been CEO since 2016. Digital Employee Experience (DEX) is the new acronym to know Organizations will recognize the link between employee satisfaction and productivity, and Digital Employee Experience (DEX) encompasses a host of advantages from user-friendly interfaces to personalized workflows that enhance employee engagement. “Organizations that adopt tools that monitor and improve DEX, such as data analytics to tailor resources to individual user needs, will have happier, more loyal, and more productive workforces, to the great advantage of the business,” says Gondoly. Digital workspaces become ubiquitous In 2025 organizations will broadly adopt digital workspaces that provide the distributed workforce with consistent and secure access to resources. These environments will be more flexible and heterogenous than prior iterations offered as single-vendor stacks by industry giants. A digital workspace is an integrated technology framework that centralizes the management of an enterprise’s applications, data and endpoints, allowing employees to collaborate and work remotely. “IT teams will realize that crafting a more vendor-independent digital workspace solution allows them to future-proof their infrastructure against unanticipated technology disruptions,” Gondoly predicts. “There are many up-and-coming providers in this space, and they’ll get increased attention.” The workforce goes fractional A traditional 9-to-5 work model is increasingly obsolete, especially as more workers are freelancers, contractors, part-timers, and gig economy participants. Businesses in any industry can reap benefits from these fractional workers, who often bring specialized expertise to the team. “To attract and retain fractional workers intelligently, IT pros need to focus on the tools and resources they need to do their jobs, on policies around the use of those tools and resources, and on monitoring or auditing to ensure those policies are successful,” Gondoly foresees. Risk management strategies embrace the cloud The constant specter of cyber threats and the need for data protection will compel more IT pros to situate data and applications in the cloud not solely for availability as in the past, but for improved security, compliance, and disaster recovery capabilities. “The Change Healthcare data breach disrupted the medical industry in 2023, and the CrowdStrike incident disrupted almost everything,” Gondoly comments. “Cloud-based risk management solutions will be more valued for business continuity and maintaining productivity.” Weathering industry storms IT implementations will increasingly be seen as a line of defense against external forces that can disrupt a market segment—another reason digital workspaces will prevail. Beyond cybersecurity needs, there will be efforts to improve business technologies to withstand the impact of climate threats and natural disasters, civil unrest, financial crises, supply chain disruptions, and other factors that can impact an industry. Gondoly thinks: “Those with modern, flexible, efficient IT environments will have an immense operational edge over those that do not.” Dr. Tim Sandle is Digital Journal's Editor-at-Large for science news.Tim specializes in science, technology, environmental, business, and health journalism.

( MENAFN - GlobeNewsWire - Nasdaq) Rescuing Leftover Cuisine scales nationwide, saving 4.5M+ pounds of food annually, tackling hunger, reducing waste, and inspiring change with innovative partnerships and dedicated volunteers. New York, NY, Dec. 26, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Rescuing Leftover Cuisine (RLC), a nonprofit organization dedicated to fighting hunger and reducing food waste, was recently featured in The Good Men Project . The article highlights the organization's inspiring journey, from its humble beginnings in New York City to becoming a nationwide movement that has rescued over 4.5 million pounds of food annually. Led by co-founder and CEO Robert Lee , RLC continues to break barriers and expand its reach, entering a pivotal phase of growth and impact. “Growing up, we struggled with food insecurity,” shared Robert Lee, reflecting on his childhood as the son of Korean immigrants.“It wasn't just about being hungry-it was the constant worry of not knowing where your next meal would come from. That uncertainty stays with you.” Turning an Idea into a Movement RLC's mission to save surplus food and deliver it to those in need began in 2013 when Lee, alongside co-founders Louisa Chen and Paul Sun , launched the nonprofit with $1,000 in seed funding from NYU's Changemaker Challenge. Their innovative approach addressed critical gaps in the food recovery process: RLC accepted donations of any size and provided daily pickups facilitated by volunteers. “At the time, most people didn't know donating leftover food was even legal,” Lee said. To combat this misconception, he carried printed copies of the Bill Emerson Good Samaritan Act, a federal law protecting food donors from liability. Today, RLC works with donors of all sizes, including corporate cafeterias, event venues, and major institutions like Citi Field and the New York Stock Exchange. “Partnering with Citi Field is a big moment for us,” Lee remarked.“It shows how far we've come-not just our growth in impact, but a broader shift in attitudes toward food rescue.” Meeting Critical Challenges Head-On With food insecurity on the rise due to inflation, the end of pandemic benefits, and the ongoing migrant crisis, RLC's work has become more urgent than ever. Simultaneously, the U.S. wastes approximately 40% of its food, making organizations like RLC essential in addressing this disconnect. “Rescuing food isn't just about hunger,” Lee explained.“It's also about significantly reducing the environmental toll of wasted food. When food decomposes in landfills, it releases methane, a greenhouse gas that is 80 times more potent than carbon dioxide over a 20-year period.” Volunteers: The Heart of RLC's Mission Central to RLC's success is its network of passionate volunteers who facilitate pickups and deliveries, often in shifts as short as 30 minutes. Through an enhanced digital platform, RLC streamlines the volunteer process, making it easier than ever to get involved. “Volunteers are incredibly important to us,” Lee emphasized.“They don't just help redistribute food-they witness the scale of the problem and become advocates for change.” Driving Impact Through Partnerships RLC provides its food donor partners with detailed monthly reports, showcasing the tangible benefits of their contributions. For instance, one restaurant reduced its waste from $65 per day to nearly zero by optimizing production practices based on RLC's guidance. “Our goal isn't just to rescue food,” Lee said.“We want to help businesses minimize waste altogether. That's the best outcome.” A Bold Vision for the Future As RLC looks to the next five years, the organization aims to double its impact by expanding partnerships and raising awareness about food rescue as a critical solution to hunger and climate change. “We're close to a tipping point,” Lee explained.“Soon, donating excess food will be the universal standard, not the exception.” With a national PR push, RLC plans to spotlight food rescue as a bipartisan, essential practice that benefits communities and the environment alike. “Every pound of food we save matters,” Lee said.“It nourishes someone, reduces waste, and protects the environment. It's a win on every front.” About Rescuing Leftover Cuisine Founded in 2013 by Robert Lee and Louisa Chen, Rescuing Leftover Cuisine (RLC) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to eliminating wasted food and feeding those facing food insecurity. With a mission to fight hunger while addressing the environmental impact of food waste, RLC operates nationwide, partnering with businesses of all sizes to rescue surplus food and deliver it to local communities. Robert Lee, a finance graduate from NYU and former food-insecure child, leads RLC as CEO, drawing from personal experiences and a commitment to creating systemic change. RLC team members have a shared passion for social impact, ensuring RLC continues to grow and scale its mission. Together, the team has transformed RLC from a local initiative into a national movement. Organization: Rescuing Leftover Cuisine Contact: Robert Lee Email: ...

The Agency brought in record viewership for Showtime and Paramount+ . Showtime/MTV Entertainment Studios announced on December 4 that the espionage thriller drew in an audience of 5.1 million cross-platform viewers globally after its November 29 debut, making it their most-streamed new series ever. Given that, it should come as no surprise that this viewership announcement came with a Season 2 renewal. Season 1, meanwhile, won’t air its finale until January. A fresh take on the critically acclaimed hit French drama Le Bureau des Legendes , The Agency follows Martian ( Michael Fassbender ), a covert CIA agent, ordered to abandon his undercover life and return to London Station. When the love he left behind reappears ( Jodie Turner-Smith as Samia), romance reignites. His career, his real identity, and his mission are pitted against his heart, hurling them both into a deadly game of international intrigue and espionage. Le Bureau des Legendes centers on the daily life and missions of agents within France’s principal external security service. It focuses on the “Bureau of Legends,” responsible for training and handling deep-cover agents on long-term missions in areas with French interests. Living under false identities for years, these agents’ missions are to identify and recruit good intelligence sources. The series has been praised as an intriguingly unique look at a side of spy stories not often seen: the emotional cost of living a life of intense secrecy and danger. These emotional insights also serve as critical commentary about organizations like the CIA. The star-studded cast also includes Jeffrey Wright , Richard Gere , Katherine Waterston , John Magaro , Alex Reznik, Andrew Brooke , Harriet Sansom Harris , India Fowler , Saura Lightfoot-Leon , and Reza Brojerdi, with Dominic West and Hugh Bonneville as guest stars. Recurring stars are Adam Nagaitis , Ambreen Razia , Bilal Hasna , David Harewood , Kurt Egyiawan , Ray BLK, Sabrina Wu , and Tom Vaughan-Lawlor. George Clooney serves as an executive producer.

Christian Weissmann on His ‘Really Complex’ New Character The ‘Squid Game’ Season 2 Post-Credits Scene, ExplainedPASAY CITY, Philippines , Dec. 26, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The SM Group is approaching the coming year with cautious optimism, encouraged by the continued growth of the Philippine economy. SM Investments President and Chief Executive Officer Frederic C. DyBuncio said that despite ongoing challenges of peso volatility and higher inflation, the business sector has adapted well. Consistent demand sustained household spending in the third quarter, with Household Final Consumption Expenditure posting a year-on-year growth of 5.1%, maintaining the same level in the same quarter last year, data from the Philippine Statistics Authority showed. "Any moderation in inflation should trigger a strong confidence rebound. This could create opportunities in consumer-focused sectors in the country and we are poised to cater to these evolving demands," Mr. DyBuncio said. To cater to growing demand, SM continues to expand into more underserved areas, contributing to sustainable economic development and collaborating with government stakeholders to enhance access to modern retail, financial services, and integrated property developments. "By investing and expanding to more areas nationwide, SM creates new markets and improves access to these essential sectors, serving more communities and helping stimulate sustained economic activities," he said. Mr. DyBuncio also said SM continues to invest in promising ventures such as renewable energy and logistics, that foster economic activity. SM has invested in the clean energy industry through Philippine Geothermal Production Company (PGPC) which produces 300 Megawatts of geothermal steam supply. SM aims to continue to develop geothermal concessions through PGPC in support of the Department of Energy's goal of reaching 50% renewable energy supply by 2040. To encourage circularity towards green energy production, SM's property arm, SM Prime Holdings partnered with GUUN Co. Ltd. ( GUUN ) to implement the Japanese technique of reducing landfill impact. The technology converts non-recyclable and hard-to-recycle packaging into alternative fuel. SM's banking arm, BDO Unibank is one of the largest funders of renewable energy projects. BDO has funded PHP898 billion in sustainable finance, including loans to 59 renewable energy projects as of December 2023. In logistics and tourism, the improvement of transport networks across the country's archipelago connects tourist and industrial areas that will help create inclusive growth. SM though its subsidiary 2GO launched MV Masigla and MV Masikap in 2024 to help better connect goods to 19 ports across the country including Iloilo, Bacolod, Cagayan de Oro and Manila , further supporting the government's push for medium term growth through an upgraded tourism infrastructure and ecosystem. "Our focus for 2025 will be to drive purposeful growth, empowering communities and partners through our investments towards a sustainable future," Mr. DyBuncio said.
