Wall Street: Berkshire Hathaway im Fokus, KI-Nachfrage im Tech-Sektor robust
Die Investmentgesellschaft Berkshire Hathaway steigert ihren operativen Gewinn um 16 Prozent. Nvidia will bis zu drei Milliarden US-Dollar in einen Rechenzentrumsentwickler investieren.
Wall Street's start into the new week is steady, with Intel in the spotlight due to plans for a capital increase of over $15 billion, plus a potential secondary offering of $2.25 billion. This has initially raised concerns about dilution. Berkshire Hathaway reported a 16% higher operating profit and $101.8 billion in revenue, but this was largely due to other income rather than core earnings.
GEICO's insurance business weighed on the results. The company's cash reserves fell to around $365 billion. Berkshire also repurchased shares worth about $4.5 billion.
In the tech sector, demand for artificial intelligence remains strong. TSMC, a chip manufacturer, reported a 45% sales growth for July, while Nvidia plans to invest up to $3 billion in the data center developer, Lancium. Geopolitically, the Strait of Hormuz remains an uncertainty factor, driving up oil prices. Throughout the week, consumer prices on Wednesday, producer prices on Thursday, and retail sales on Friday will be closely watched.
