Klarna might reschedule its IPO for September
Klarna filed for IPO back in March but paused such plans only a month later after President Trump's tariff announcements rattled the market. At the time, Klarna was looking to raise at least $1 billion and nab a $15 billion valuation. By June, however, Klarna's co-founder and CEO, Sebastian Siemiatkowski, took a different turn. When asked about the company's IPO plans, Siemiatkowski only smiled and said he was 'happy there's less turbulence in the market.'
Details are slim, though, regarding when Klarna will schedule its debut; no final decisions have been made, Bloomberg reported. The company is profitable and was last privately valued at around $14 billion.

Shopify Stock Is Soaring on Earnings. Should You Buy the SHOP Rally, or Is It Too Late?
Shopify (SHOP) shares closed more than 20% up on Wednesday after the e-commerce company reported significantly better-than-expected earnings for its second financial quarter. Investors cheered SHOP also because the management issued upbeat guidance for Q3, indicating confidence in the company's ability to navigate higher tariffs under President Donald Trump.

Amazon's $36M Bet on Quantum Computing: What Investors Need to Know Can SoundHound's Q2 Results Send the Stock Soaring on August 7? Markets move fast. Keep up by reading our FREE midday Barchart Brief newsletter for exclusive charts, analysis, and headlines. Shopify stock has been in a sharp uptrend over the past four months and is now up roughly 120% versus its year-to-date low in early April. Management Remains Bullish on Shopify Stock Other than the headline numbers, there was plenty in the management's commentary that warrants buying SHOP stock following its second-quarter financial release. For starters, executives confirmed that tariffs have not resulted in 'any drop in US demand, whether inbound, outbound, or local.' If anything, the market actually accelerated in the recently concluded quarter even in the wake of several Shopify merchants choosing to increase prices, added Jeff Hoffmeister, the firm's CFO. Shopify shares may be worth owning for the long term also because the e-commerce platform is aggressively spending on AI tools to attract and retain merchants. SHOP Shares Are Trading at a Premium Valuation While there was hardly anything in the quarterly release to discourage initiating a position in SHOP shares, investors are still recommended caution primarily due to valuation concerns. Shopify stock is currently going for a forward price-earnings (P/E) multiple of more than 120x, which is much higher than peers including Amazon (AMZN) and Etsy (ETSY), both of which are trading at around 30x only. That's why UBS analysts maintained their 'Hold' rating on the Canadian company last week, and left their $110 price target unchanged, signalling potential for nearly 30% downside from here. How Wall Street Recommends Playing Shopify Investors should remain wary of buying Shopify stock today since it's already trading significantly above Wall Street analysts' mean price target. According to Barchart, while the consensus rating on SHOP shares remains at 'Moderate Buy,' the average price target of about $119 only indicates potential downside of more than 20% from current levels.

Apple announces additional $100 billion in US investment, following Trump iPhone tariff threat
Apple (AAPL) announced plans to invest an additional $100 billion in US manufacturing commitments ahead of a press conference scheduled with President Trump at the White House Wednesday. The move follows Apple's prior $500 billion investment in US spending, which includes working with partners to build an AI server plant in Texas. Apple says that the $100 billion announcement includes its new American Manufacturing Program (AMP), which the company says will incentivize global companies to build critical components in the US. The tech giant says its first AMP partners will include Corning, Coherent, GlobalWafers America, Applied Materials, Texas Instruments, Samsung, GlobalFoundries, Amkor, and Broadcom. As part of the investment, Apple is making a $2.5 billion commitment to produce all of the cover glass for its iPhones and Apple Watches at Corning's Harrodsburg, Kentucky, manufacturing facility. The two companies will also work to open an Apple-Corning Innovation Center at the plant to help develop and engineer materials and next-generation manufacturing platforms for future Apple products. Apple also says it has entered into a multi-year agreement with Coherent to produce lasers for its Face ID feature for the iPhone and iPad. The company is also touting what is says is a end-to-end American silicon supply chain, which includes sourcing silicon wafers from GlobalWafers in Sherman, Texas, for use in American chip factories, working with Applied Materials to increase production of semiconductor manufacturing technologies, and getting semiconductors from Texas Instruments. Apple is further teaming up with Samsung to work on new chip making technologies at its plant in Austin, Texas, as well as with GlobalFoundries and Amkor for bring more chip manufacturing and packaging to the US, respectively. Apple's news comes after the Trump administration began pressuring the tech giant to manufacture its iPhone in the US, going so far as to threaten to impose a 25% tariff on the devices if the company didn't comply. Apple's announcement also comes as the company prepares for a new 25% tariff on goods destined for the US from India. That's in addition to an existing 25% levy Trump previously said he would apply to the country's products. Apple builds the majority of the iPhones headed to the US in India, after diversifying its supply chain beyond China following the COVID-19 pandemic. The company still produces iPhones for the rest of the world in China. Trump has repeatedly criticized Apple for building its iPhones abroad, with the administration saying the company should instead bring its manufacturing facilities to the US. In May, Trump said he "had a little problem with Tim Cook," while discussing the company's decision to build US iPhones in India. But industry experts say doing so would be a Herculean task even for Apple, due to a lack of available skilled workers and limited supply chain resources in the country. Even if those factors weren't an issue, it would take years to complete construction of an iPhone plant, at which point Trump would no longer be in office. During its most recent quarterly earnings report, Apple said it took an $800 million hit due to existing tariffs and anticipated an additional $1.1 billion in related costs in its current quarter.
