Muse’s rapid adoption is reportedly putting fresh attention on the CPU layer of AI infrastructure, an area Arm has been targeting directly with its new data-center silicon.

Wells Fargo just handed Meta a dramatically higher price target, and the reasoning behind it points to something bigger than a routine upgrade. Here is why one analyst believes the AI story at Meta is only getting started.

By powering the data center CPUs and local edge processing required for agentic workflows, Arm Holdings and AMD are positioned to capture immense value.

Union bosses are mounting an assault on big tech companies after Labour’s overhaul of workers’ rights.

Shares of AMD, Arm and Intel all jumped as optimism over growing demand for CPUs sent chip stocks higher.

Investing.com -- Technology stocks roared back on Monday, propelled by a powerful rally in Meta Platforms and semiconductor leaders as Wall Street recognized that consumer "agentic" AI may have finally reached a mainstream tipping point. Meta Platforms (NASDAQ: META) rallied 6.5% on Monday, leading a broader market advance that lifted the Nasdaq 100 by 2.15%. The frenzy extended deep into the semiconductor sector, with CPU-linked chipmakers staging explosive gains: Arm Holdings (NASDAQ: ARM) sur

Persistent agents could expand general-purpose computing, but Meta has disclosed no Intel deployment.

A Wall Street analyst highlighted the potential of Muse, the company's personal AI agent.

Strong adoption cannot become commerce revenue wherever outside platforms refuse the agent access.

Persistent agent workloads expand AMD's addressable compute stack without confirming any Meta hardware selection.

NYU Stern professor and entrepreneur Scott Galloway says Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ:META) may be turning years of user data into an AI advantage as its new Muse agent gains traction. "No one violates privacy like Meta," Galloway said on Prof...

Investing.com -- OpenAI (NASDAQ:OAI) is developing new features to counter rival personal AI agent offerings from Space Exploration Technologies Corp (NASDAQ:SPCX) and Meta Platforms Inc (NASDAQ:META) as competition intensifies in the market for automated workplace tools, according to a report from The Information. The move reflects growing pressure on the ChatGPT creator to defend its market leadership against nimble competitors capable of handling complex, multi-step digital workflows. The San

Meta keeps bleeding cash into AI infrastructure and Reality Labs while the market punishes every headline, yet one stubborn investor sees a reason to keep buying shares that most holders are dropping like they're on fire.

A new consumer AI signal is changing the conversation

Stocks climbed on Monday with tech leading the march higher as investors eyed the possibility of a U.S.-Iran deal. The Nasdaq Composite added 1.4% as the S&P 500 gained 0.9%. The Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 0.

Wells Fargo just raised its Meta price target before Connect rather than after it, which means buyers are betting on Muse usage numbers the company has not yet disclosed and that this week's developer event will either validate or crush.

Amazon says Meta never disclosed that Muse would access its store, and that the agent doesn't identify itself while browsing

Meta Platforms (META) has been one of the stocks most watched by Zacks.com users lately. So, it is worth exploring what lies ahead for the stock.

The company sent a fortune back to its owners, but the stock itself went the other way. Who really won.

Investors face a busy week of diplomatic developments, technology announcements and economic releases, with talks between US President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping among the main events on the calendar. Artificial intelligence will also attract attention as Meta Platforms prepares for its Connect conference and world leaders gather in New York for the United Nations General Assembly.

Wells Fargo expects Meta Connect to put fresh attention on adoption of the company’s newest AI products after a series of recent launches, per TheFly.

Intel stock and Arm Holdings were gaining as the success of Meta Platforms' Muse AI agent could boost CPU demand.
