Shares of Akamai Technologies rallied after the company said it would supply cloud infrastructure services to a leading artificial-intelligence lab in a seven-year agreement worth $1.8 billion.

The cloud and cybersecurity company described the AI lab as a "leading, U.S. based frontier model provider," without providing its name or any further information.

Akamai's disclosure of the deal caused shares to surge 28% in overnight trading.

Rare earths company MP Materials posted an adjusted profit on Thursday that beat Wall Street's expectations due to its price support agreement with the U.S. government and a sales jump that offset rising costs.

Its shares rose 3.21% to $71.35 in overnight trading.

Cloudflare said on Thursday it would lay off about 20% of its workforce as part of a shift toward an "agentic AI-first operating model," as the internet services company restructures around artificial intelligence.

Shares of Cloudflare fell 18% in overnight trading, despite posting stronger-than-expected quarterly results.

Monster Beverage$ beat Wall Street expectations for first-quarter revenue and profit on Thursday, as demand for energy drinks remained strong despite broader economic uncertainty. Shares jumped 6% in overnight trading

Trade Desk shares fell over 14% in overnight trading Thursday, after a downbeat outlook intensified concerns over the company's competitive positioning and its ability to navigate a volatile marketing environment.

The advertising-technology company reported revenue of $689 million for the first quarter, ahead of the FactSet analyst consensus for $679 million. That said, its revenue growth rate of 12% slowed from 14% in the fourth quarter and 25% in the year-ago period.

Airbnb and Expedia on Thursday joined a growing list of travel companies warning that the Middle East conflict is weighing on demand, as hostilities in the region enter their third month.

Both companies reported stronger-than-expected first-quarter revenue, but their quarterly forecasts show that escalating geopolitical uncertainty is disrupting travel routes and triggering cancellations.

Shares of Expedia fell 9% in overnight trading after it forecast current-quarter gross bookings below Wall Street estimates,

TradingKey - On May 14 (ET), the three major U.S. stock indices closed higher across the board, with both the Nasdaq and the S&P 500 hitting new record highs.

Three Major Tailwinds Support Kospi to Surpass 8,000 Points for Record High; JPMorgan Backs Samsung: Any Pullback Is a Buying Opportunity

Tradingkey - During the Asian morning session on May 15, the KOSPI opened lower but trended upward, briefly surpassing 8,000 points to hit a record high, reaching an intraday peak of 8,046.78 points. As of press time, the KOSPI had reversed to a 0.4% decline, trading at 7,949.71. Market analysis suggests three major tailwinds are supporting the upward trajectory of the South Korean stock market: tech giants continue to scale up capital expenditure, significant room remains for the expansion of AI application penetration, and geopolitical factors alongside data sovereignty are driving increased investment from non-US countries. Given the high weighting of AI-related industries among South Korean listed companies, these factors are expected to provide continued support for the market. Furthermore, corporate governance is poised to become a second structural support pillar by 2026, alongside earnings improvement. If companies continue to deliver on share buybacks and cancellations, dividend increases, asset efficiency optimization, and enhanced transparency in information disclosure, the market pricing of the "Korea Discount" is expected to narrow further, driving a valuation recovery for low P/B blue chips from a tactical phase into a sustained trend.
