CoreWeave reportedly a key player in Google-OpenAI partnership
-- CoreWeave is set to provide computing capacity to Google (NASDAQ:GOOGL) Cloud as part of Google's newly formed partnership with OpenAI, according to a Reuters report on Wednesday. The arrangement involves CoreWeave supplying cloud computing services built on Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA)'s graphics processing units to Google's cloud unit. Google will then sell this computing capacity to OpenAI to help meet the growing demand for services such as ChatGPT. In addition to CoreWeave's resources, Google will also provide some of its own computing resources to OpenAI. The deal demonstrates how the high demand for AI computing resources is creating new business alliances, even among the industry's fiercest rivals.

Three cheers for the US-China trade war ceasefire
Yay! High-level US-China talks in London this week reached a trade-war ceasefire, offering some stability for nervous markets. Days of talks, following on President Donald Trump's call with China's Xi Jinping last Thursday, settled on a framework that leaves a 55% US tariff on Chinese goods and a 10% Chinese levy on American imports. Plus, Beijing will ease restrictions on rare-earth exports while Washington will back off on its developing ban on Chinese students attending American universities. Plenty of issues remain: China's key role in world fentanyl production, for one thing; its long history of intellectual-property theft, currency manipulation and so on. Not to mention the outright espionage that so many of those students are dragged into. And of course in the longer term the United States needs to be less dependent on China for rare earths, pharmaceutical precursors and many other critical needs. The two sides are supposed to reach a comprehensive deal by Aug. 10, but at least the summer should be calm. The chaos of on-again, off-again tariffs had led to turbulence in US markets and had mom-and-pop shops bracing for 'the end'; now they can plan at least a couple of months ahead, with solid reason to hope the worst is over. US businesses can adapt to 55% tariffs on Chinese goods, as long as they've got some certainty that the rate will remain stable. Kudos to Treasury and Commerce Secretaries Scott Bessent and Howard Lutnick, the top US negotiators in London, for mastering 'the art of the framework'; let's hope Trump and Xi can close a final deal.

Dave & Buster's (PLAY) Stock Trades Up, Here Is Why
Shares of arcade company Dave & Buster's (NASDAQ:PLAY) jumped 14.8% in the afternoon session after the company reported first-quarter 2025 results and provided encouraging updates on sales trends, as revenue came in line with expectations. The company noted improved momentum following the reintroduction of the Eat & Play combo, adjustments to menu pricing, and changes to the incentive structure for store managers. Additionally, free cash flow turned positive, which is a significant boost as management attempts to turn around the business. Given that markets are forward-looking, the stock's reaction suggests investors were able to look past the bottom line weakness during the quarter as operating profits and earnings fell short of Wall Street's estimates. The shares closed the day at $30.46, up 17.7% from previous close. Is now the time to buy Dave & Buster's? Access our full analysis report here, it's free. Dave & Buster's shares are extremely volatile and have had 42 moves greater than 5% over the last year. But moves this big are rare even for Dave & Buster's and indicate this news significantly impacted the market's perception of the business. The previous big move we wrote about was 15 days ago when the stock gained 5.5% on the news that the major indices rebounded (Nasdaq +2.0%, S&P 500 +1.5%) as President Trump postponed the planned 50% tariff on European Union imports, shifting the start date to July 9, 2025. Companies with substantial business ties to Europe likely had some relief as the delay reduced near-term cost pressures and preserved cross-border demand. Dave & Buster's is down 0.3% since the beginning of the year, and at $30.20 per share, it is trading 40% below its 52-week high of $50.35 from June 2024. Investors who bought $1,000 worth of Dave & Buster's shares 5 years ago would now be looking at an investment worth $2,064. Here at StockStory, we certainly understand the potential of thematic investing. Diverse winners from Microsoft (MSFT) to Alphabet (GOOG), Coca-Cola (KO) to Monster Beverage (MNST) could all have been identified as promising growth stories with a megatrend driving the growth. So, in that spirit, we've identified a relatively under-the-radar profitable growth stock benefiting from the rise of AI, available to you FREE via this link.
