Why Interactive Brokers Stock Slumped by 6% Today

Key Points The brokerage will be getting exactly $0 in revenue from a new service it's rolling out in Singapore. Although this follows a broad trend in the industry, investors clearly aren't happy about it. 10 stocks we like better than Interactive Brokers Group › Investors didn't want to interact much with Interactive Brokers (NASDAQ: IBKR) on Wednesday. They were reacting to an announcement by the global securities brokerage that it wouldn't be drawing a particular revenue stream from a new service in a key Asian market. This pushed the stock to a more than 6% decline today, as the S&P 500 index landed in positive territory with a 0.3% rise. A big, fat goose egg On Tuesday night, Interactive Brokers announced the launch of its IBKR Lite pricing plan in Singapore. The main feature of this service is that the company charges no commissions for trades on U.S. markets made by users. Where to invest $1,000 right now? Our analyst team just revealed what they believe are the 10 best stocks to buy right now. Learn More » The company also made a point of saying that IBKR Lite is free of sneaky fees that produce compensatory revenue. "Unlike other brokers that promote 'zero commissions' but charge platform or settlement fees, the Singaporean IBKR Lite program delivers true cost transparency with no commissions, platform or settlement fees, or minimums," the company wrote in the press release trumpeting the new service's rollout. Although a small country, Singapore is relatively wealthy for its region. As such, it is an appealing market for companies like Interactive Brokers that can offer online trading in U.S. securities, plus selected markets outside our borders. The end of the commission era As Interactive Brokers hinted in its press release, it's now common for brokerages to lure investors with promises of commission-free trading. For years, commissions were a great and steady revenue stream for such companies, and since the end of that era, many have had to adjust their business strategies to adapt. Despite this inevitability, it seems this stock's investors aren't taking the unsurprising news well. Should you invest $1,000 in Interactive Brokers Group right now?

Why Tencent Rallied Today

Key Points Tencent delivered strong Q2 results. Revenue accelerated and grew double-digits across most business segments. Artificial intelligence and a recovering Chinese economy are helping lift results. 10 stocks we like better than Tencent › Shares of Chinese tech giant Tencent (OTC: TCEHY) rallied on Wednesday, up 6.8% as of 3:47 p.m. ET. Tencent, which is arguably the best company in China, reported second-quarter earnings that apparently impressed investors. It's easy to see why; revenue growth accelerated relative to the prior quarter and year, along with continued margin expansion. Unsurprisingly, artificial intelligence leadership was mentioned as a key factor behind the top-line growth and cost controls. Tencent grows double-digits almost everywhere Tencent's revenue is on a $100 billion run-rate, so it's really impressive that the company was able to accelerate its revenue growth in light of the law of large numbers. Total revenue grew 15% year over year, a higher rate than the 13% rate last quarter and the 8% growth rate in the year-ago quarter. Every major segment for Tencent grew double-digits, reflecting broad-based strength, except for Social Networks, which saw just 6% growth due to a lack of compelling new content in video streaming. Still, the other major segments including Domestic Games and International Games grew 17% and 35%, respectively. Marketing revenue was up 20%, and FinTech and Business Services revenue was up 10%. Impressively, margins also expanded with gross margins expanding by 1.1 percentage points relative to last quarter. While adjusted (non-IFS) operating margins fell quarter over quarter, that appears to be a seasonal trend possibly around compensation. Relative to the prior year, adjusted operating margins expanded by 1.2 percentage points to a strong 37.5%. The acceleration shows the Chinese economy, which had been in near-recessionary conditions for a couple years, may finally be recovering on the back of last year's stimulus measures. But some of the acceleration could also be due to AI. Management touted the use of AI across all its business segments, including game and content production, online advertising effectiveness, and Tencent's cloud business. Tencent is a core holding for a Chinese portfolio For those willing to invest in China, Tencent should be at the top of the list. The company is diversified across not one but several high-margin businesses, and allocates profits effectively across dividends, buybacks, and investments in other companies. With net cash on its balance sheet and over $100 billion worth of outside investments -- roughly 15% of its market cap -- Tencent's 27 P/E ratio is hardly demanding, even after this nice recent run. Should you invest $1,000 in Tencent right now?

YouTube will start using AI to guess your age. If it's wrong, you'll have to prove it

YouTube is rolling out a new AI system meant to ensure young users are protected by its teen safety CNN Newsource YouTube will begin guessing users' ages using artificial intelligence on Wednesday, as part of an effort to prevent kids from accessing inappropriate content online. It's part of a broader push to make social media safer for young people, but some users are already worried about what it will mean for their privacy and experience on the platform. The technology is designed to determine whether a viewer is an adult or a minor based on their activity on the platform — regardless of the birthdate they submitted when they signed up. The tool is being tested with a limited number of U.S. users for now, but it's expected to be rolled out more widely in the coming months. If the tool identifies a user as a minor, YouTube will automatically apply its existing teen safety measures to their account. That includes restrictions on certain kinds of sensitive content, such as violent or sexually suggestive videos. Adult users incorrectly identified as minors will have to upload a government ID, credit card or a selfie to prove their age. Some YouTube users are already fretting about getting incorrectly flagged by the technology, and privacy experts have raised concerns about adults handing over sensitive personal information to verify their age. Here's what we know about the new system. How will YouTube's AI age verification work? The system relies on signals such as the types of videos a user searches for and watches, and how long their account has been active, to determine whether they are under the age of 18. Users identified by the AI as minors will automatically be opted-in to the platform's teen safety measures, including restrictions on certain kinds of content, adjusted recommendations, prohibitions on repetitive viewing of certain types of content, 'take a break' reminders and disabled personalized advertising. YouTube's new AI age verification system will work only for logged-in users, so young people could still get around some of the safety measures by accessing the site without an account. However, signed-out users can't access age-restricted content. Why is YouTube doing this? YouTube and other social media platforms are cracking down on age verification measures after facing criticism that teens could circumvent their safeguards by signing up with a fake birthdate. Those concerns come amid broader scrutiny from parents and lawmakers who have long worried such sites harm kids' safety and mental health. Meta last year said it would similarly use AI to identify when teen users lie about their age on Instagram so that it could apply expanded youth safety protections. And TikTok uses the technology to detect users who may be under 13 years old, the minimum age to be on the platform. Several other online platforms — including Reddit and Discord — have also started verifying some users' ages because of new rules under the UK's Online Safety Act. The law's child safety provisions went into effect last month. YouTube said its AI age verification system has shown promise in other countries prior to Wednesday's U.S. rollout. Why are some users worried? Some YouTube users are already up in arms over the idea of having to hand over a credit card, ID or selfie (in other words, biometric data) to keep using the adult version of YouTube if they're incorrectly flagged as a teen. Some have shared their frustrations on X and Reddit with the hashtag #boycottyoutube. Suzanne Bernstein, a lawyer for the nonprofit research group Electronic Privacy Information Center, raised concerns about how YouTube will manage that data in an interview with tech news site Ars Technica. 'Discomfort with certain appeals processes which require providing really sensitive personal information is totally understandable,' she said. A YouTube spokesperson told CNN that its parent company, Google, 'uses the world's most advanced security to protect user data against threats, and users can choose the privacy settings that are right for them including deleting their data.' The spokesperson added that YouTube will not retain data from users' IDs or credit cards to use for advertising purposes. By Clare Duffy, CNN
