Lyft Completes Freenow Acquisition, Isn't Planning to Cut Staff
Both companies will point users to download each other's apps starting Thursday: Lyft riders will see a prompt to get the Freenow app when they are in the 180 European cities where Freenow operates, while Freenow customers will be prompted to install Lyft when they're in the US or Canada. Over time, users won't need to switch apps when travelling as the companies plan to make their drivers available on both platforms.

Nvidia's China Nightmare? H20 Chip Faces Backdoor Allegations in High-Stakes Trade Showdown
China's been turning up the heat on Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA), and not in a good way. This week, the country's top internet watchdog summoned Nvidia reps over what it calls serious security risks tied to the H20 chipa product Nvidia designed specifically to meet U.S. export rules. State media pulled no punches either. In a commentary published Friday, the People's Daily warned of potential chip backdoors triggering a nightmare, saying it couldn't allow infected semiconductors into its digital infrastructure. Nvidia responded firmly: Cybersecurity is critically important to us, adding that its chips don't contain any remote access pathways. Still, in today's geopolitical climate, that reassurance may not be enough. Warning! GuruFocus has detected 5 Warning Signs with NVDA. Here's where things get messier. Just a few weeks ago, the U.S. agreed to lift restrictions on H20 sales to China as part of a broader deal involving rare-earth magnetsmaterials critical for everything from smartphones to fighter jets. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick had framed the H20 resumption as a meaningful breakthrough after bilateral talks in London, and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said the magnet issue was solved. But with Beijing now putting the H20 back under the microscope, it's unclear whether Nvidia has actually received the licenses it needs to ship the chips. And if China decides the H20 isn't up to pareither technically or politicallythose sales may stall before they even start. Meanwhile, CEO Jensen Huang has been walking a tightrope. Fresh off a high-profile visit to Beijing, Huang praised China's AI momentum and national champions like DeepSeek, all while pushing back on the idea that Nvidia would ever install surveillance backdoors into its products. He called the suggestion not only false, but bad business. Still, the reality is this: Nvidia's H20, already weaker than its flagship GPUs, now faces a political test that could matter more than its specs. Investors watching the tech standoff might want to pay close attention to what happens nextbecause this chip is turning into a geopolitical bargaining chip. This article first appeared on GuruFocus.

Moderna Cuts Forecast, Stock Wobbles Despite Beat
Moderna's (NASDAQ:MRNA) quarter was okay on the numbers, but the stock slid because the company pulled back its full-year revenue outlook after delaying some U.K. vaccine shipments into early 2026. Q2 revenue was $142Million, down 41% from a year ago, with COVID shot sales at $114Million and its RSV vaccine barely registering. That pushed the 2025 revenue range to $1.5Billion$2.2Billion, about $300Million less than before. Warning! GuruFocus has detected 2 Warning Sign with MRNA. The good part is they've been cutting costs aggressively. OpEx is now guided to $5.9Billion$6.1Billion roughly $400Million lighter than prior expectationsand that helped trim the loss to about $800Million. Moderna still has a strong cash cushion: $7.5Billion at the end of June and roughly $6Billion expected at year-end, so the balance sheet isn't stressed. The delayed shipments rattled sentiment, but the company isn't burning cash. Now it comes down to executionU.K. deliveries must land as rescheduled and new revenue drivers need to show up before investors lose patience. This article first appeared on GuruFocus.
