Intel-Apple Possible Investment; Oracle Dips; Carmax Slides

On this episode of Stock Movers:

A deal with Apple would represent further validation of the chipmaker’s turnaround bid, although it’s unlikely that Apple would switch back to Intel processors in its devices.
- Oracle (ORCL) is falling as Rothschild & Co Redburn initiates coverage of the software giant with a sell rating, saying the market is materially overestimating the value of the firm’s cloud revenues.
- Carmax (KMX) slides after the used car retailer reported significant earnings per share and sales shortfalls for the second quarter. CarMax Auto Finance (CAF) income decreased 11.2% as an increase in the provision for loan losses outweighed growth in CAF’s net interest margin percentage.

Google will receive warrants to buy about 24 million shares of Cipher Mining’s stock, equating to an about 5.4% pro forma equity ownership stake, as part of Cipher’s 10-year AI hosting agreement with Fluidstack.
