Super Micro Computer (SMCI) has seen a ~40% stock rally this year, making it the best performer in hardware stocks, despite a prior ~30% correction. Goldman Sachs analyst Michael Ng has downgraded the stock to 'Sell,' citing increased competition and margin pressures, while lowering the price target to $32 from $40. JP Morgan's Samit Chatterjee also noted potential margin moderation in FY26, which could limit EPS growth relative to revenue.
Indian ecommerce startup Meesho is planning to raise $1 billion through an IPO, with a proposed valuation of $10 billion. The Bengaluru-based company has engaged Morgan Stanley, Kotak Mahindra Capital, and Citi as advisors, and may file draft documents soon. Recently, Meesho raised up to $270 million, valuing the company at approximately $3.9 billion to $4 billion, down from $4.9 billion.

Citigroup plans to reduce its reliance on external IT contractors from 50% to 20%, focusing on building in-house capabilities. This strategic shift raises concerns for Indian IT firms like TCS, Wipro, and LTIMindtree, which have significant business ties with Citi. Experts suggest that while this may impact larger IT service providers, it could ultimately benefit India's core banking operations and expertise in the long run.
UBS is contemplating relocating its headquarters due to costly capital regulations, which could require raising $20 to $25 billion in equity, impacting profits significantly. A move could lead to a loss of client assets in Switzerland, weakening its most profitable market, while also facing operational and regulatory challenges in potential new locations like the USA, London, or Singapore. Despite the allure of relocation, UBS risks losing market share and would need years to establish a stronger presence in the U.S. wealth market.
Adam Hoffman, a former student campaigner against wokeness, graduated from Princeton in 2023 and joined Citadel in 2024 before linking up with Elon Musk’s DOGE in 2025.

In Paris, the financial sector faces layoffs as the market shifts, with Deutsche Bank planning to cut 2,000 retail banking jobs amid regulatory challenges.
Oil prices increased on Thursday, driven by a strong demand outlook in the US and a weaker dollar. Brent crude rose to $71.21 a barrel, while US West Texas Intermediate climbed to $67.54, supported by a significant drawdown in distillate inventories and expectations of a Federal Reserve interest rate cut.Despite a rise in US crude inventories, analysts noted that the overall demand remains healthy, with global oil demand averaging 101.8 million barrels per day. Geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and potential ceasefire talks in Ukraine also contributed to market volatility.
Morgan Stanley plans to cut around 2,000 jobs to reduce costs, a move that will not affect financial advisors and was decided prior to recent market corrections. The financial sector, which initially thrived post-election due to expectations of deregulation, is now facing pressure, raising concerns about potential broader trends in job cuts and policy uncertainty. Despite some firms like JP Morgan reporting gains amid market downturns, the overall outlook for financials hinges on clarity regarding pro-business policies and the implications of cost-cutting measures.
Bank of America Private Bank has significantly increased its investment in technology by 300% since 2020, enhancing client onboarding and advisor efficiency.
