Uber Technologies has agreed to acquire workplace meals platform ezCater in an all-cash deal valued at $2.3 billion. This move signals Uber's strategic pivot to deepen its footprint in the corporate catering and B2B services market, leveraging its logistics network for bulk food delivery. The acquisition is expected to drive revenue growth in Uber's high-margin enterprise segment, though integration risks and execution costs will be key metrics to watch in upcoming earnings. Micron Technology and Netlist have resolved their pending patent litigation through a settlement agreement where Micron will pay Netlist $30 million per quarter from Q4 2026 through Q3 2031, totaling $600 million. The deal includes a full patent license and release of all legal claims, removing a significant legal overhang for Micron. This resolution allows Micron to focus on its AI memory expansion plans, while Netlist secures a steady revenue stream from its advanced packaging technology. Nvidia shares have reached a record high, breaking above $241, driven by sustained investor confidence in the company's AI dominance and data center demand. This milestone reinforces the broader tech rally and highlights Nvidia's ability to monetize the AI infrastructure build-out. The stock's performance continues to lead the MAG7 index, with analysts maintaining bullish outlooks despite valuation concerns, as the company's moat in AI chips remains unchallenged.
