🧴 Kenvue stock drops as Kimberly Clark selloff cuts takeover offer value

Kenvue slid 1.6% to $17.39 late Thursday, tracking a 2.2% drop in Kimberly Clark that trimmed the real time value of its proposed Tylenol maker takeover.

With Kimberly Clark shares slipping, the mixed offer was pegged at about $17.81 for each Kenvue share, just a shade above Kenvue’s last trade.

Kenvue’s stock is not being valued on its own performance right now. Instead, it is all about the merger math.

There is about a 42 cent difference, what Wall Street calls a merger spread, between Kenvue’s current price and the value of the agreed bid.

That gap signals investors still see some risks left, including timing, regulatory hurdles, and ongoing litigation, even after both sets of shareholders gave the deal their approval in January. TechStock² reports.


🖥️ Cipher Digital stock price falls after target cut as AI data center pivot faces test

Cipher Digital slipped 2.8% to $13.71 in late Thursday action, pressured after Keefe, Bruyette and Woods cut its price target to $20 from $22.

The stock’s recent moves have hinged more on its AI focused data center expansion than its older mining operations.

Why does this shift count now? Cipher wants out from its bitcoin miner label.

In filings last month, the company dropped “Mining” from its name and announced plans for 600 megawatts of high performance computing data center capacity aimed at AI and other heavy duty computing, on top of a 4.2 gigawatt pipeline spread across 10 sites. TechStock² reports.


📌 Pinterest stock price slides despite Elliott backing as ad fears return

Pinterest dropped 6.6% to $18.09 Thursday, as Wall Street tumbled following a near $100 move in crude. “It’s a sell first, ask questions later type of mentality,” said Ryan Detrick, chief market strategist at Carson Group, speaking to Reuters.

Pinterest’s move lands at a critical moment. The company is still working to recover after that shaky February outlook.

Back on Feb. 18, it bumped up its first quarter revenue guidance to a range of $958 million to $978 million, reflecting the tvScientific connected TV advertising deal.

That update, though, arrived less than a week after its earlier forecast and did not quite put questions about retailer advertising demand to rest. TechStock² reports.


🤖 Nvidia to focus on competition beating AI advances at megaconference

When Jensen Huang strides onto the stage of a packed hockey arena to kick off Nvidia’s annual developer conference on Monday, he is likely to reveal products and partnerships geared toward keeping the AI chipmaker atop a growing array of competitors.

Taking over the heart of Silicon Valley for most of a week, Nvidia GTC, as the conference is known, has become CEO Huang’s preferred event to show off Nvidia’s AI advances in chips, data centers, its chip programming software CUDA, digital assistants known as AI agents, and physical AI such as robots.

This year, the four day event is even more crucial as investors will seek assurance that Nvidia’s strategy of plowing back its profits into the AI ecosystem is paying off. Yahoo Finance reports.
