US weighs taking stake in Intel, Bloomberg News reports
FILE PHOTO: Intel logo is seen near computer motherboard in this illustration created on January 8, 2024. REUTERS/Dado Ruvic/Illustration/File Photo (Reuters) -The Trump administration is in talks with Intel to have the U.S. government potentially take a stake in the chipmaker, Bloomberg News reported on Thursday, citing people familiar with the plan. The company's shares, which closed about 7% higher in regular trading following the report, were last up 2% after the bell. The plan stems from a meeting this week between President Donald Trump and Intel CEO Lip-Bu Tan, the report said. This comes after Trump publicly demanded the resignation of Tan over his past investments in Chinese tech companies, some linked to the Chinese military. Intel declined to comment on the report but said it was deeply committed to supporting President Trump's efforts to strengthen U.S. technology and manufacturing leadership. Any agreement and potential cash infusion will help Intel at a time when the company has been cutting spending and slashing jobs to turn its fortunes around. Once the undisputed leader in chip manufacturing, Intel has lost its position in recent years. Its stock market value has plummeted to $104 billion from $288 billion in 2020. The White House did not immediately respond to Reuters' request for comment. (Reporting by Jaspreet Singh in Bengaluru)

Brazilian digital lender Nubank posts 42% net profit boost in second quarter
FILE PHOTO: A banner for Nubank, the Brazilian FinTech startup, hangs on the facade at the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) to celebrate the company's IPO in New York, U.S., December 9, 2021. REUTERS/Brendan McDermid/File Photo SAO PAULO (Reuters) -Nu Holdings, which runs Brazilian digital lender Nubank, posted on Thursday a $637 million second-quarter net profit, a 42% increase from a year earlier on a foreign exchange-neutral basis. The firm, which has nearly 123 million clients across Brazil - its main market - Colombia and Mexico, reported a net revenue for the April to June period at $3.7 billion, up 40% year-on-year. Chief Financial Officer Guilherme Lago told Reuters the profit increase was driven by operational leverage and revenue growth, but said the factors behind that growth are starting to change. "If in the last three to five years a major part of our growth came from adding new customers, in the next three to five years a major part of our growth revenue in Brazil will come from deepening the relationship with these customers," Lago said. Nubank's annualized return on equity, a gauge of profitability, came in at 28%, in line with the reported year-ago figure. The lender's total loan book rose 8% from the first quarter to $27.3 billion, as personal loans kept growing in Nubank's overall portfolio, which is largely made up of outstanding credit card debt. Meanwhile, the early default ratio stood at 4.4%, falling 0.3 percentage points from the first quarter. The over-90 day ratio reached 6.6%, up 0.1 percentage point in the same period, with Nubank saying it reflected both a rise in short-term delinquencies in the first quarter and a seasonal pattern.

Hedge funds shift bets to double down on Big Tech amid AI boom
NEW YORK (Reuters) -Wall Street's largest hedge funds, Bridgewater Associates, Tiger Global Management and Discovery Capital, increased their exposure to Big Tech in the second quarter amid a generational boom in the growth of artificial intelligence. During the June quarter, hedge funds cut their exposure to laggards in industries like aerospace and defense, and consumer and retail, as part of a broader move back to momentum investing. It marks a big shift from earlier this year when bets on Big Tech had soured for top money managers due to tariff-fueled volatility in financial markets, with investor concerns around rising inflation and fears of a bubble in AI triggering a sell-off in "Magnificent Seven" stocks. Since then, tech stocks have staged a big comeback. The S&P 500 is up 10% so far this year, buoyed largely by the largest tech companies, which account for nearly a third of the combined market cap of companies on the index. Outside technology, some hedge funds, such as Lone Pine and Discovery, also bet on UnitedHealth Group. Berkshire Hathaway and Michael Burry's Scion Asset Management also unveiled bets on the insurer, while Soros Fund Management boosted an existing position. Shares in UnitedHealth are down 46% this year, as the company faces rising costs, a U.S. Department of Justice probe, a cyberattack and the shooting of former top executive Brian Thompson last December. The fund's positions were revealed in quarterly securities filings known as 13Fs. While backward-looking, these filings typically reveal what funds owned on the last day of the quarter and are one of the few ways hedge funds and other institutional investors have to declare their positions. Below are the details of the changes in the holdings of the top hedge funds: BRIDGEWATER ASSOCIATES Bridgewater Associates added more shares in Nvidia, Alphabet and Microsoft in the second quarter. The macro hedge fund founded by Ray Dalio more than doubled its bets in Nvidia. It ended June with 7.23 million shares in the chipmaker, or 154.5% more than it had at the end of March. Nvidia was Bridgewater's biggest bet in a single stock, totaling $1.14 billion. Its holdings in Alphabet and Microsoft went up by 84.1% and 111.9%, respectively, amounting to $987 million and $853 million. Other AI-related stocks added were Broadcom (+102.7%), to 317.8 million shares, or $317 million, and Palo Alto Networks (+117%), to 313.8 million, or $314 million. DISCOVERY CAPITAL Discovery Capital, whose founder Rob Citrone has recently been bullish on Mexico's America Movil due to its exposure to Latin America, doubled its stake in the wireless provider during the second quarter. For the quarter ended June 30, the fund amassed another 2.65 million shares, valuing its current holding in America Movil at about $95 million. Citrone's hedge fund, which generated a 52% windfall on its investments last year, has increased its exposure to Latin America as part of a strategy to diversify from U.S. holdings. During the quarter, Discovery increased its holdings in Big Tech, as it more than doubled its stake in Meta Platforms, the parent company of Facebook, while also betting on booming demand for AI as it took a new position in Nvidia-backed cloud provider CoreWeave. The hedge fund also increased its position in UnitedHealth by 13%. TIGER GLOBAL MANAGEMENT Tiger Global Management bought more stocks in some Magnificent Seven companies in the second quarter, including Alphabet, Nvidia, Microsoft and Meta, its 13Fs showed. Chase Coleman's hedge fund added roughly 4 million shares of Amazon and ended June with roughly 10 million shares, worth $2.34 billion. The fund also increased its bets in smaller AI-players. It added over 800,000 shares in chip-making equipment supplier Lam Research Corp, ending June with 5.26 million shares, valued at $512 million. COATUE MANAGEMENT Many changes in Philippe Laffont's Coatue Management portfolio were also around AI-related stocks. It unveiled new positions in both Arm Holdings and Oracle, adding stakes worth roughly $750 million and $843 million, respectively. Both companies have boosted AI-related business initiatives. Coatue also increased its holdings in Nvidia-backed CoreWeave, adding 3.39 million shares in the second quarter, with its stake in the company worth $2.9 billion. LONE PINE Lone Pine Capital took a new position in UnitedHealth Group, buying up 1.69 million shares worth about $528 million during the June quarter.
