Nvidia (NVDA) CEO Jensen Huang was asked on Monday whether the company's newest investment is the kind of circular financing investors keep worrying about, and he said it was not. "This is not circular because obviously they do their own business and we do our own business, and MediaTek is already incredibly profitable, incredibly successful," Huang told Bloomberg's Ed Ludlow in an interview alongside MediaTek CEO Rick Tsai on Aug. 31.
The deal that prompted the question is worth $3.5 billion, and one detail about it has been widely flattened. Nvidia is not buying MediaTek shares. It bought $3.5 billion of convertible bonds issued by the company, part of an overseas convertible offering of roughly $3.9 billion in which Alphabet (GOOGL) also participated at an undisclosed size. Nvidia holds debt that can convert later, not equity today, and the release names no conversion price, no valuation, and no resulting stake.

Alibaba Group Holding Limited (BABA) is sending an unusually strong signal to investors at a critical moment for its artificial intelligence (AI) ambitions. Co-founder Jack Ma has reportedly purchased more than HK$600 million, or roughly $76.5 million, of Alibaba's Hong Kong-listed shares in recent days, joining Chairman Joe Tsai and CEO Eddie Wu in buying the stock.
The timing of Ma's purchase is particularly notable. Alibaba recently announced an HK$80 billion ($10.2 billion) share placement, with proceeds earmarked for expanding its full-stack AI capabilities, including infrastructure, chips, and AI models. The capital raise triggered a sell-off as investors worried about dilution, elevated spending, and whether Alibaba can generate sufficient returns from its massive AI investments.

Former Arizona Cardinals quarterback Matt Leinart admits he blew his date with Rihanna because nerves and a lack of confidence got the better of him.
"I wasn't at my best," Matt Leinartsaid on the Dan Patrick Show. "I definitely wasn't at my best that day. We were friends, we hung out a couple times, we had a mutual circle of friends, and her ***** istant and sort of right-hand girl, still to this day I'm friends with, she grew up with one of my best friends, so that was kind of the thing. But yeah, it was a young Matt, not super confident. You thought I would have had a lot of confidence; I didn't, and yeah, so that's that."
Ask Matt Leinart about his infamous date with Rihanna, and he still can't quite believe he's talking about it. "Oh God, are we really going there?" he said.
Back in July 2025, Leinart dropped a bombshell on his podcast, Throwbacks, admitting he once took Rihanna out on a date and completely blew it. So what went wrong? According to him, it all came down to a blister on his lip that showed up on the worst possible day.

Alibaba fell after it announced a roughly $10.2 billion equity raise to fund more AI investment. The company is issuing 710 million new shares at HK$112.70, an 8.4% discount to the previous close. Shareholders will see their stakes diluted by roughly 3.6%, so the negative reaction was understandable. I bought (BABA) after the fall. What interested me was not simply that the shares were lower. A lower price by itself has never been enough for me. What changed was the combination of the price, the capital raise, and what management did almost immediately afterward.
Chairman Joseph Tsai bought about $10.3 million of stock and CEO Eddie Wu bought roughly $5 million, both at prices very close to where the new shares were issued. These appear to be their first meaningfully reported open-market purchases. That caught my attention. Alibaba has just asked outside shareholders to accept dilution so it can spend more heavily on AI. The two people closest to that decision then used their money to buy the shares created by the market's discomfort with it. Corporate capital allocation tells you what management thinks should happen with the company's money. Insider buying tells you what management is prepared to do with its own. I prefer the second signal.

Alibaba's net income collapsed 75% as capex surged 75%, swinging free cash flow to a 45 billion yuan outflow last quarter.
Burry exited Alibaba for JD.com months ago and says the stock must fall another 50% before he'd consider buying again.
Alibaba is raising $10.2 billion through a 3.7% dilutive share sale while insider purchases by Tsai and Wu totaled just $15 million.
Act now: the ****** yst who called NVIDIA in 2010 just named his top 10 AI stocks — and Alibaba didn't make the cut. Grab the names FREE today.
The AI spending boom has created an uncomfortable split in technology stocks. Investors are willing to reward companies that can turn massive infrastructure investments into recurring revenue, but they are becoming less forgiving when those investments crush profits and cash flow first.

All of New York was celebrating this summer as the party for the New York Knicks winning the ***** le never seemed to stop...
Well, not everyone. Brooklyn Nets owner Joe Tsai was not thrilled, he told NetsDaily.
"Every year, some team is going to win a championship. So it happens that this year that team is in the same city. It doesn't make us feel very good. It irritates our fan base and it is embarrassing but in business or in competition, in sports, or in anything, you shouldn't let the embarrassment factor affect how you perform."
Or, in the case of the Brooklyn Nets, change their rebuilding trajectory.
"[We] had a plan and we're rebuilding and I think right now we are on a positive trajectory. So it doesn't change my thinking at all."

Alibaba Group Holding Limited (NYSE:BABA) is one of the undervalued stocks to buy according to the Wall Street. On July 2, Access Advance LLC and Alibaba Group announced that Alibaba expanded its participation in the Video Distribution Patent/VDP Pool by becoming a Licensee. This agreement provides Alibaba access to a comprehensive license for HEVC, VVC, VP9, and AV1 codec technologies, building upon the company's existing role as a Licensor in the pool and its previous engagement through the VVC Advance Patent Pool.
The VDP Pool's single-license structure simplifies the complex licensing needs of Alibaba Group Holding Limited's (NYSE:BABA) diverse ecosystem, which spans e-commerce, digital media, and entertainment. By consolidating coverage for four major video codecs into one royalty rate, the agreement removes the need for multiple bilateral contracts, allowing Alibaba to scale its video-based services more efficiently as it continues to integrate advanced streaming technologies.

Both organizations highlighted this expansion as a meaningful step in their multi-year collaboration, emphasizing a shared commitment to a stable licensing ecosystem. This partnership aims to support the continued development and adoption of next-generation video standards, ensuring that innovations remain accessible and beneficial for both patent holders and technology users across the global market.
Alibaba Group Holding Limited (NYSE:BABA) operates as a technology infrastructure and marketing solutions provider. It operates both within the People's Republic of China and internationally. The company was founded by Chung Tsai and Yun Ma in June 1999 and is headquartered in Causeway Bay, Hong Kong.
