  "summary": "SpaceX shares rose following the release of robust third-quarter earnings results. CNBC and CNBC Technology reported that the jump occurred after the company reported surging revenue growth and owner Elon Musk suggested a potential merger between SpaceX and Tesla.\n\nThe company reported its first quarterly profit since going public, with sales exceeding expectations due to growth in its artificial intelligence business, according to The Mainichi. This prompted buying in AI and semiconductor-related shares following recent weakness.\n\nIn Tokyo, stocks rose on Wednesday, with the Nikkei Stock Average increasing 545.82 points, or 0.85 percent, to 64,621.24, according to The Mainichi. The Topix index also finished 0.86 percent higher at 4,043.73.",
