There are no significant economic data releases today. Semiconductors Chip Supplier Stocks Surge Amid Eased US-China Restrictions Shares of major global semiconductor equipment companies are climbing today following reports that the U.S. is contemplating less stringent measures in its ongoing restrictions on China's chip industry. NVIDIA is up 1.15%, while Intel is rising by 0.55% in premarket trade. The surge comes on the back of a report suggesting Washington's upcoming rules could moderate earlier proposals to limit the sale of semiconductor equipment and AI memory chips to China. Analysts believe that fewer Chinese firms, including ChangXin Memory Technologies, may be added to the export blacklist. ChangXin is seen as a potential competitor to global giants like SK Hynix and Samsung, making its exclusion a notable shift. ASML, a key player in the chip supply chain, could also face a less severe impact based on the new proposal. ASMLâs advanced lithography machines are essential for chip production but are already restricted from being sold to China. The proposed measures are expected to target Chinese semiconductor equipment manufacturers rather than the factories producing chips, a move viewed as favorable for ASML and other foreign suppliers like Tokyo Electron. Technology Spanish Media Giants Sue Meta Over Data and Ad Practices Meta Platforms, the parent company of Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp, is set to face a trial in Madrid in October 2025 following a â¬551 million ($582 million) lawsuit brought by 87 Spanish media companies. The complaint, filed by the AMI media association, accuses Meta of unfair competition in advertising and alleges misuse of personal data. The court hearings are scheduled for October 1 and 2, according to a statement from Madrid's 15th commercial court. The lawsuit claims that between 2018 and 2023, Metaâs extensive use of user data allowed it to gain an unfair advantage in offering personalized advertising, violating EU data protection rules. Prominent publishers like Prisa, owner of El Pais, and Vocento, publisher of ABC Newspaper, are among the complainants. The case reflects growing global tensions between traditional media outlets and tech giants over advertising revenue and content sharing rights. Meta has not yet responded to the allegations. This lawsuit follows a similar â¬160 million claim filed last month by Spanish TV and radio broadcasters associations UTECA and AERC on comparable grounds. Such legal challenges highlight broader media efforts to address revenue imbalances with tech platforms. However, similar battles in Canada and Australia led Meta to block news sharing in those regions, complicating relations with legacy media. Meta has since reduced the visibility of news and political content in user feeds globally. Retail Global Expansion Fuels MINISOâs 2024 Success Source: [N509FZ](, [CC BY-SA 4.0](, via Wikimedia Commons MINISO Group released its third-quarter financial results for 2024, reporting a robust 19.3% increase in revenue, reaching 4.52 billion RMB. Gross profit margin hit a record 44.9%, a notable improvement of 3.1 percentage points from the previous year. U.S.-listed shares of the firm rose +6.26% on Wednesday but are currently down by -2.65% in premarket trade. For the first nine months of 2024, MINISO generated 12.28 billion RMB in total revenue, marking a 22.8% increase compared to the same period last year. A significant portion of this growth came from international markets, with the overseas segment contributing over 4.5 billion RMBâan impressive 41% rise year-over-year. The adjusted net profit reached 1.93 billion RMB, with an adjusted net profit margin of 15.7%. The company has also aggressively expanded its global footprint, adding 859 stores in 2024, bringing the total to 7,420 locations worldwide. The international operations and TOPTOY division both exceeded their previous yearâs performance in net store additions. This strong quarterly performance underscores MINISO's ongoing success in executing its long-term growth strategy, driven by global expansion and improved profitability metrics.

Movers and Shakers Bolt Projects Holdings [BSLK] - Last Close: $0.30 Bolt Projects Holdings Inc. is surging by more than 200% in premarket trade. The material solutions firm has entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement to sell 1,058,826 shares of its common stock at $0.34 per share, totaling approximately $360,000. The purchasers include key company executives and board members, such as CEO Dan Widmaier and CTO David Breslauer. The transaction is expected to close on December 2, 2024. This internal investment is likely the reason why the stock is soaring today. My Take: This is a tiny stock with substantial volatility, so it would be best to hedge your bets before entering here. Enanta Pharmaceuticals [ENTA] - Last Close: $8.83 Enanta Pharmaceuticals' stock is up by 13.5% in premarket trading today, likely due to its recent fiscal fourth-quarter earnings report. The report highlighted positive developments, including favorable Phase 2a trial results for their RSV treatment, EDP-323, and the expansion of their immunology portfolio with new programs targeting STAT6 and KIT inhibitors. Financially, Enanta reported a net loss of $1.36 per share, slightly better than analysts' expectations of a $1.41 loss per share. However, revenue decreased to $14.6 million from $18.9 million in the same quarter the previous year, primarily due to declining sales of AbbVie's hepatitis C drug, MAVYRET®. My Take: Despite the positive earnings, revenue has decreased to $14.6 million from $18.9 million in the same quarter last year. That could be a significant cause for concern. Keep this stock on your wait and watch list for now. Mediaco Holding [MDIA] - Last Close: $1.34 MediaCo Holding Inc. (MDIA) recently announced the full repayment of a $7.3 million convertible promissory note held by Emmis Communications Corporation. This repayment strengthens MediaCo's financial position by reducing its debt obligations. The improved position is leading to investor optimism, which is causing the stock to rise by 12% in premarket trade. My Take: The stock is up 127.12% YTD, and given the recent debt repayment, its in a strong financial position. Keep this stock on your radar for future growth.
