LIVE Tech stocks today: Marvell stock continues wild run as AI hype escalates Yahoo Finance Updated Wed, June 3, 2026 at 2:15 PM GMT+2 1 min read GOOG Tech stocks rose modestly on Wednesday morning as investors weighed cautious optimism for an extended ceasefire agreement between the US and Iran, quarterly results from chipmakers, and announcements from the annual Computex conference in Taiwan. Alphabet stock ( GOOG , GOOGL ) was in focus Tuesday morning after the tech giant said it plans to raise $80 billion by selling stock, including by offering Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway ( BRK-B , BRK-A ) $10 billion in shares. Alphabet said it will use the proceeds to pay for its artificial intelligence build-out.

The company plans to spend $180 billion to $190 billion in capex this year. Meanwhile, comments from Nvidia’s CEO Jensen Huang at Computex Taipei continue to move tech stocks. On Monday, software stocks got a lift after Huang said in a keynote address that he believes AI will increase demand for software companies, pushing back against a prevailing view this year that software makers will become obsolete in the age of AI.

PC makers also surged after Nvidia unveiled a new processor — the RTX Spark — for Windows laptops. On Wednesday, Marvell stock ( MRVL ) jumped 12% in premarket trading following a 32% gain on Tuesday after Huang called the ‌chipmaker the next "trillion-dollar company. " In the private markets, Anthropic ( ANTH.

PVT ) filed confidential paperwork with the Securities and Exchange Commission to go public, beating rival OpenAI ( OPAI. PVT ) to the punch. Last week, Anthropic announced that it had completed its Series H funding round, valuing the company at $965 billion, making the Claude Code creator the most valuable AI startup in the world.

Investors continue to assess what the looming mega IPOs from Anthropic, OpenAI, and SpaceX ( SPAX. PVT ) mean for the booming AI and tech trade. LIVE 14 updates 54 mins ago Jake Conley Meta begins selling businesses access to AI agent Meta ( META ) will soon begin selling access to an AI agent in a new monetization path for the tech giant increasingly pushing into AI.

As of Wednesday, companies will now be charged for access to the “Meta Business Agent,” Bloomberg reported, citing a company spokesperson. The agent’s primary role focuses on communication with a business’s customers on Meta’s communications platforms WhatsApp, Messenger, and Instagram. Meta shares rose 3.

4% on the news. In the future, the agent will be able to complete tasks such as managing users’ calendars and putting together market research, Bloomberg reported. Smaller businesses will have to pay for a subscription to use the agent, while larger businesses will pay Meta for the token costs powering the service.

A similar service has been offered before, but it was free of charge, Bloomberg reported. Today at 11:58 AM UTC Grace O'Donnell Meta, Microsoft, Amazon, and Alphabet are about to spend a shocking amount of money to dominate the AI era Yahoo Finance’s Brian Sozzi reports: The artificial intelligence spending for Big Tech has only just begun. Goldman Sachs strategist Amanda Lynam has put some fresh numbers on hyperscaler capex spending on AI, and it’s eye-popping.

Goldman now expects a combined $5. 3 trillion of capex spending for the four largest hyperscalers — Meta ( META ), Microsoft ( MSFT ), Amazon ( AMZN ), and Alphabet ( GOOGL ) — from fiscal year 2025 to fiscal year 2030. Prior to the start of first quarter earnings, this figure stood at $4.

5 trillion. The baseline aggregate capex estimate stands at $7. 6 trillion between 2026 and 2031, across compute, data centers, and power.

Google, Amazon, Microsoft, and Meta alone collectively plan to allocate $725 billion to capital expenditures in 2026 — up a staggering 77% from last year’s already record-breaking $410 billion. Amazon is projecting $200 billion in capital expenditures, Alphabet is targeting $175 billion to $185 billion, Meta is guiding $115 billion to $135 billion, and Microsoft is tracking toward $190 billion for the calendar year.

PVT ) Mythos don’t create a flood of cyberattacks. To address at least a part of that, Cisco ( CSCO ) on Tuesday debuted its new Live Protect platform.

A kind of stopgap cybersecurity measure for networking systems, Live Protect allows cybersecurity professionals to deploy targeted “shields” against specific exploits to prevent attackers from breaking into victims’ networks.

Anthropic unveiled Claude Mythos Preview last month , sending shockwaves through the tech industry. According to the company, the AI model was wildly adept at hacking software, despite not being designed to do so. Read more here.

The company said independent raters preferred MAI-Thinking-1 to Anthropic’s ( ANTH.

PVT ) Claude Sonnet Opus 4. 6, its midrange model, and that MAI-Thinking–1 matched Opus 4. 6’s coding ability, albeit in a benchmark.

In addition to MAI-Thinking-1, Microsoft debuted its MAI-Image-2. 5 image-generating model, MAI-Transcribe-1. 5, MAI-Voice-2, and MAI-Code-1.

While Microsoft was an early investor in OpenAI and remains one of its most prominent backers, the relationship between the two companies has become strained over the years. Read more here. Tue, June 2, 2026 at 7:35 PM UTC Daniel Howley Microsoft is turning to AI to combat cyber threats Microsoft ( MSFT ) is turning to AI to help protect users from attacks and hacks, leveraging a new class of models that can find and exploit software flaws faster than any person could on their own.

Part of that includes the company’s new Microsoft Security multimodal agentic scanning harness, or MDASH. The platform, which Microsoft said is in an expanded preview, uses AI agents to scan for software vulnerabilities that hackers can exploit. Speed is a key component of cybersecurity.

The faster a company can detect a software flaw, the sooner it can fix the flaw before hackers can exploit it. “AI brings a lot of superpowers to defenders, but also AI in the hands of cyber attackers is a very powerful tool,” Vasu Jakkal, corporate vice president of security at Microsoft, told Yahoo Finance. “The time between vulnerability discovery to exploitation essentially collapses … and if we don’t build on this technology with context for defenders, that is going to continue to be a very asymmetric cyber war across the industry,” she added.

The last time Amazon held its global savings event in June was in 2021. The company said that after taking into account the World Cup and the 250th anniversary of American independence, the week in June felt right. “Stating it bluntly, more savings now is better than more savings later, and so we're not … shying away from the fact that … having the event sooner means people can save more money sooner,” Jamil Ghani, vice president of Prime, told Yahoo Finance.

“A lot of people have said, you know, … agentic AI is coming, therefore all of the software companies are going to go out of business. I said it's exactly the opposite because there are going to be so many agents, the world is no longer limited by the number of people, therefore those agents are going to use more tools than ever,” Huang said. “This is actually an incredible time to be a software company, but the software has to be presented to the agent in a way that the agent can use it,” he added.

The processor, which includes a Blackwell GPU and Grace CPU, will power laptops from manufacturers including ASUS, Dell ( DELL ), HP ( HPQ ), and Microsoft ( MSFT ) when it lands this fall. Unveiled during Nvidia’s GTC Taipei event, the RTX Spark, which is also coming to small desktops, is meant for customers running AI applications, content creators, and, importantly, gamers. Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang introduces the RTX Spark laptop during his keynote speech at Computex 2026 in Taipei on June 1, 2026.

(I-Hwa Cheng / AFP via Getty Images) · I-HWA CHENG via Getty Images According to the company, the RTX Spark will pack upward of 128GB of memory, a massive amount for any laptop. Memory serves as a kind of temporary holding area for data the CPU needs to access quickly. Generally, the more memory, the better the overall performance Most laptops generally pack 16GB of memory, though higher-end systems, like a top-of-the-line MacBook Pro, can be outfitted with 128GB.

But to get that configuration, you’ll have to shell out a whopping $5,099. Nvidia hasn’t announced pricing for laptops running its new chip, but it did note that the first systems will target the premium market. However, it will also offer less powerful versions of the RTX Spark with less memory for use in lower-priced notebooks.
