Lam Research Helping Drive AI Growth – Yahoo Finance UK
What could your money earn if you invested your football spending elsewhere
Lam Research’s semiconductor processing equipment fabricates integrated circuits needed for AI. The company has also been diversifying into related areas as well as building new facilities close to its global customers’ research hubs. So, it’s positioning to be a player for many years down the line, especially as enterprise storage transitions to newer technologies.
In terms of earnings, Lam Research reported quarterly earnings of $7.79 per share, which is 11.4% higher than the prior year. And while revenue slightly declined, it still beat consensus expectations.

President Emmanuel Macron's shock snap election has rocked France's bond market, the largest in the euro zone, as a strong showing for the far right and left wing parties in opinion polls exacerbates concerns about fiscal sustainability. Earlier in June, the risk premium France pays for its debt on top of Germany's neared levels last seen in 2012, during the euro zone debt crisis. The question is how much more turmoil the two-round elections on June 30 and July 7 could sow in bond markets.

Bitcoin (BTC-USD) is headed for its third worst week of the year as the crypto market is under pressure. Marathon Digital Holdings (MARA) CEO Fred Thiel joins Catalysts to discuss bitcoin's movement and how Marathon Digital Holdings handles the cryptocurrency's volatility. Thiel points to several issues facing bitcoin that are causing an increased supply in the market. First, Germany's criminal bureau is selling about 50,000 BTC. Japanese bitcoin exchange Mt. Gox is set to distribute a large volume of bitcoin in July as part of its bankruptcy. In addition, miners are selling large amounts of bitcoin to continue to fund and expand their operations. Thiel states that "bitcoin is historically very volatile," adding that Marathon Digital Holdings has a "very strong balance sheet" to deal with the cryptocurrency's swings. He explains that Marathon is focused on diversifying the business, starting a technology division to focus on areas getting a boost from bitcoin mining and the AI race, such as liquid cooling. He adds that the business is also focused on energy harvesting, leveraging bitcoin mining to generate new revenue streams. Thiel points to Marathon's recent initiative in Finland to heat 11,000 homes with the heat from its data center.
