Cerebras Systems is trading lower as reports indicate OpenAI is utilizing Nvidia hardware for its latest models rather than Cerebras' proprietary chips, compounding pressure from a rolling lockup expiry. In contrast, networking and infrastructure stocks like Celestica are benefiting from a critical bottleneck in data center connectivity, with analysts highlighting a massive runway for these enablers. This divergence highlights the complex supply chain dynamics within the AI boom. Accenture is set to report earnings with analysts focusing on the balance between SaaS headwinds and AI-driven tailwinds. Apple shares are rising on optimism surrounding the new iPhone Duo, although UBS notes flattish wait times for Pro models, suggesting a nuanced demand picture. These developments reflect the broader market's scrutiny on how legacy tech giants are monetizing AI and managing consumer demand in a high-rate environment.
