Higher interest rates threaten to prolong private equity’s record $349 billion backlog of “zombie funds,” making exits harder, squeezing fee income and potentially forcing some firms to shrink. The Federal Reserve’s decision to raise interest rates on Wednesday will deepen problems in their portfolios from a generation of buyouts that are stuck. The bigger the logjam gets, the harder it will be to raise new funds, reducing the fee income private-equity firms rely on, a cycle that can spiral.
Sept 18 (Reuters) - Futures tracking the Nasdaq 100 led Wall Street higher on Friday, putting the tech-heavy index on course for weekly gains as a drop in oil prices tempered inflation concerns.
The global debate over artificial intelligence risks entered a new phase this week amid clashing views from tech executives over whether frontier labs should slow the development of the technology. Leaders of Anthropic, OpenAI, SpaceX and Google DeepMind put forward the need for self-regulation checks on growth that give AI models more control. Meanwhile, Microsoft, Amazon and Meta said they're developing tools to check, control and regulate AI risks as US President Donald Trump called the alerts a "hoax". The call for caution saw a rotation out of tech stocks at the start of the week as investors questioned whether there's a need to reprice the pace of the booming AI buildout.

Joby Aviation is flying high over a multitrillion-dollar opportunity.
HP (HPQ) stock has run hard over the past six months, gaining about 78%, and it still trades roughly 8% below its 52-week high. The steadier story is the share count. HP retires a slice of its own stock every year, so earnings per share grow faster than profits do. The question is whether a rising memory bill breaks that.
Microsoft Corp.‘s CEO Satya Nadella said AI development needs to focus on keeping the technology under human control, making systems more robust and testing them as businesses put AI to work. Speaking on the All-In Podcast released on Tuesday, Nadella...
International Business Machines (IBM) shares trade near $237, and options price a one-year range around that from $161.75 to $348.69. That band is the calmer version of this stock. Over the past year IBM moved harder than its options now assume. The business question hanging over IBM comes from the second quarter of 2026: whether the software deals that slipped were delayed or lost.
Ready for an artificial intelligence bot to buy things for you? Love it or hate it, the option is getting closer to reality thanks in part to a deal between Mastercard and fintech firm Alchemy. While Mastercard first announced its agentic payment framework back in 2025, the new deal links it to Alchemy’s agent infrastructure, which developers can use to enable their AI agents to buy stuff.
Cloud-managed security can simplify payment infrastructure, but pricing and customer commitments remain undisclosed.
Salesforce (CRM) trades near $250 a share, close to its 52-week high after a fast three-month run. Selling a put pays you now for agreeing to buy it much lower later, and you keep the payment either way. The catch: you only want this if you would be glad to own Salesforce at that lower price. The open part of that answer is how much its new agent products can actually be charged for.
A London-based start-up which claims to have built an AI system capable of predicting global events has raised funds from a group of investors including Microsoft's ventures arm. Sky News has learnt that ManticAI, whose founders include a former Google DeepMind engineer, has raised over $20m in a funding round jointly led by Balderton - one of the early backers of Revolut - and Radical Ventures, a Canadian investment fund. ManticAI emerged from stealth just over a year ago, and made headlines by beating a number of human forecasters in a competition to predict events ranging from hostilities between Donald Trump and Elon Musk to Kemi Badenoch being removed from the Conservative party leadership.
Oracle just reported the loudest cloud quarter in enterprise software history, yet the stock keeps sliding. Here is why that disconnect may be the most asymmetric setup in the market right now.
Palantir CEO Alex Karp says AI companies are concerned about the liability risk posed by their product and that some businesses might want to be nationalized.
CoreWeave's backlog and revenue are surging, but heavy capex, rising interest costs and customer concentration keep pressure on the growth story.
CoreWeave deployed Vera Rubin NVL72 clusters, expanding its next-gen AI platform as heavy capex and rising interest costs raise execution stakes.
Jim Cramer just called Nokia a strong buy, which would be great news except for one uncomfortable fact that long-suffering NOK shareholders know all too well about his track record.
Adobe (ADBE) trades near $250, down about 28% over the past year while the S&P 500 gained about 16%. Over the past three months the stock has returned about 21%. The market pays 13.9 times trailing earnings for a company that just reported record quarterly revenue. A multiple that low prices Adobe as if meaningful growth is off the table. The scenario below tests that pricing, and its answer rests on whether Adobe's free users ever start paying.
Alphabet (GOOGL) has gained 3.7% over the last five trading days while the S&P 500 fell 1.1%. A stock that rises in a down week gets attention. But five days say nothing about what Alphabet does to the rest of your money. The real question is what it does to your portfolio every time the market moves, because it travels further than the index in both directions.
NetApp (NTAP) has returned about 57% over the past twelve months, and it has just raised its revenue outlook for fiscal 2027 by $650 million. The easy read is that an AI storage boom is only getting started. The analysts who cover NetApp full-time kept returning to a narrower point: how much of a record quarter came from customers buying early, and what that leaves for the rest of the year.
