Advanced Energy's New Power Controller Increases Stability of Semiconductor and Industrial Processes
DENVER--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Advanced Energy Industries, Inc. (Nasdaq: AEIS), a global leader in highly engineered, precision power conversion, measurement and control solutions, announced a new silicon-controlled rectifier (SCR) power controller for precision control of lamp-based heating applications. Delivering unprecedented speed and accuracy, the new Thyro-XD™ supports next-generation semiconductor manufacturing and industrial processes that demand precision temperature control, especially during extreme and dynamic ramps.
'Demand for smaller, faster, and more efficient computer chips is driving the need for innovative controls in wafer processing equipment for semiconductor production,' said Dhaval Dhayatkar, Advanced Energy's vice president, Critical Sensing and Control Products, System Power. 'The new Thyro-XD offers unmatched speed and precision for temperature control, significantly enhancing stability and repeatability, particularly for lamp-based heating applications, in the smallest form factor available.'
The Thyro-XD provides highly accurate, rapid load resistance measurement, enabling faster detection of temperature changes and tighter process control. It has a high-power density of 188 W/in 3, is optimized for semiconductor tools, and doubles the control capacity versus other available products. With convection cooling, it eliminates the need for fans, improving simplicity and reliability.
With real-time resistance measurement, the Thyro-XD SCR can prevent potential damage to resistors, reducing expensive maintenance and replacement. In addition, a five-fold increase in load voltage, load current and output power accuracy enables fastest compensation for input fluctuations while increasing efficiency.
The Thyro-XD provides optional EtherCat connectivity through optional Advanced Bus Module™ (ABM) and interface cards and can integrate temperature feedback from multiple Advanced Energy Impac® measurement pyrometers for real-time temperature control.

Wall Street on Edge: Inflation Spike, $58B Debt Test, and Trade Turmoil Collide
Wall Street is holding its breath as two market-moving forces line up: inflation and debt. Investors are watching closely as the U.S. and China restart trade talks in London, aiming to ease tensions and avoid another round of tariff escalations. Meanwhile, a $58 billion Treasury auction could test demand for U.S. debt at a time when long-end yields hover near 5%a level many thought would spark broader market reactions. BMO's Ian Lyngen calls this week's combo of May CPI and Treasury supply a tradable event, with core inflation expected to accelerate to 2.9% year-over-yearthe first uptick of the year. The S&P 500 (SPY) sits roughly 2% from its February peak, but volatility could return fast depending on how these numbers land. Warning! GuruFocus has detected 5 Warning Sign with META. Despite the rebound from April's tariff-driven slide, institutional investors have yet to jump back into equities in full force. Deutsche Bank notes that institutional positioning has been this low less than a quarter of the time since 2010. JPMorgan and Barclays, however, suggest the tide could be turning, with more big money managers set to ramp up equity exposure. That shift hasn't shown up yetBank of America's clients were net sellers last week, with institutions pulling out while hedge funds and retail buyers stepped in. Strategist Jill Carey Hall thinks the market may have already priced in much of the deglobalization risk, but not the potential upside from underappreciated tax policy tailwinds. On the corporate front, action is heating up. Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) isn't grabbing headlines today, but its peers are moving fast. Meta's (NASDAQ:META) CEO Mark Zuckerberg is going all-in on artificial general intelligence, quietly assembling a powerhouse team to build out the next big wave in AI. Boeing (NYSE:BA) just secured its biggest monthly order tally in over a yearmuch of it inked during President Trump's trip to the Middle East. Cisco (NASDAQ:CSCO) is rolling out new AI-powered upgrades across its networking portfolio to stay competitive in the enterprise race. Taiwan Semiconductor (NYSE:TSM) posted a 40% revenue surge in May as chipmakers rushed to build inventory ahead of potential trade roadblocks. Not everything was rosyMcDonald's (NYSE:MCD) was slapped with a rare sell rating from Redburn Atlantic, and Citigroup (NYSE:C) is preparing to book hundreds of millions more in loan loss provisions, signaling early cracks in consumer credit health.

Meta Platforms (META) Bets Big on AGI With $10 Billion Push and New AI Dream Team
Meta Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ:) is one of the 10 AI Stocks on Wall Street's Radar. On June 10, Bloomberg News reported that the company's CEO, Mark Zuckerberg, is setting up a team of experts to achieve what is known as 'artificial general intelligence' (AGI), or machines that can match or surpass human capabilities. Citing sources, the report has revealed that the new AI team is being set up along with a reported investment of over $10 billion in Scale AI. It further reported how Scale AI founder Alexandr Wang is expected to join the group after a deal is done. Reportedly, Zuckerberg is planning to personally recruit around 50 people, including a new head of AI research for the AGI team. The decision is being made after looking at the performance and reception of Meta's latest large language model, Llama 4, the report stated. While we acknowledge the potential of META as an investment, we believe certain AI stocks offer greater upside potential and carry less downside risk. If you're looking for an extremely undervalued AI stock that also stands to benefit significantly from Trump-era tariffs and the onshoring trend, see our free report on the best short-term AI stock.

QUALCOMM (QCOM) to Acquire Alphawave for $2.4 Billion in Data Center Expansion Push
QUALCOMM Incorporated (NASDAQ:QCOM) is one of the 10 AI Stocks on Wall Street's Radar. On June 9, the company reported that it has agreed to buy semiconductor company Alphawave IP Group Plc for an estimated $2.4 billion in cash, aiming to expand its technology and key assets for expanding into data centers. The companies revealed in a Monday statement that the offer is equivalent to about 183 pence per share for Alphawave, a 96% premium to the company's share price on March 31. This was the last trading day prior to the companies disclosing the deal discussion. While the deal is subject to regulatory and shareholder approval, it is anticipated to close in the first quarter of 2026. A medical staff analyzing data in an occupational health center. 'The acquisition of Alphawave Semi aims to further accelerate and provide key assets for Qualcomm's expansion into data centers,' the company said. While Qualcomm has made two alternative all-share offers for Alphawave following multiple deadline extensions from the UK takeover panel, Alphawave plans to unanimously recommend the cash offer to its shareholders. They deem it to be fair and reasonable. 'Under Tony's leadership Alphawave Semi has developed leading high-speed wired connectivity and compute technologies that are complementary to our power-efficient CPU and NPU cores. Qualcomm's advanced custom processors are a natural fit for data center workloads. The combined teams share the goal of building advanced technology solutions and enabling next-level connected computing performance across a wide array of high growth areas, including data center infrastructure.' – Cristiano Amon, president and CEO of Qualcomm Incorporated.
