Wall Street ends mixed as tech dips, defense stocks rally

<body>STORY: Wall Street ended mixed on Thursday, with the Dow gaining more than half a percent, the S&P 500 flat and the Nasdaq shedding just under half a percent.Shares of major tech companies including Nvidia, Broadcom and Microsoft declined, as investors grew more finicky about AI-related stocks whose valuations have been inflated by outsized gains.Shana Orczyk Sissel, founder and CEO of Banríon Capital Management, said investors will likely become increasingly selective as the AI trade progresses."2025 started as the year of AI. 2026 is going to be more of the same, but I do think that we're going to start to see more clear winners and losers. My focus is less on the folks who are trying to build AI tools for consumers and need to monetize that technology. I'm much more interested in the companies that that are part of the infrastructure of AI, the folks who make the chips, the folks who are involved in data center development, energy efficiency at the data center level, and anything related to the infrastructure of AI."Still, shares of Alphabet gained on Thursday, a day after the Google parent surpassed Apple in market capitalization for the first time since 2019 to become the second-most valuable U.S. company. Among other stock moves, shares of defense companies gained after President Trump said the 2027 U.S. military budget should be $1.5 trillion, much higher than the roughly $900 billion approved by Congress for 2026.Shares of Northrop Grumman added more than 2%, Lockheed Martin rose more than 4%, and Kratos Defense jumped almost 14%.Traders now turn their attention to Friday's crucial nonfarm payrolls report for December, one of the first reliable economic datasets since the record-long government shutdown.</body>

Lucid, Nuro and Uber unveil robotaxi at CES ahead of 2026 launch

<body>STORY: :: LucidA new robotaxi design was unveiled at this year's Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas.It's the product of a partnership between Uber, EV-maker Lucid, and autonomous vehicle technology firm Nuro. And it joins a growing list of U.S. contenders from companies including Waymo and Tesla.:: Carbon ShiftThe vehicle is built on Lucid's Gravity electric SUV.It has a roof-mounted sensor ring with cameras, lidar and radar for full 360-degree coverage.:: LucidUber created the inside experience, with touch screens that let passengers adjust the temperature, seats and entertainment.The robotaxi uses Nvidia's AI driving hardware. And it's driven by Nuro's autonomous tech, meaning it can drive itself in certain conditions without a human. On-road testing began in December, using engineering prototypes with a safety operator.David Salguero is Nuro's head of communications.:: David Salguero, Head of Communications, Nuro"We use an AI autonomy foundation model that basically learns as it goes along. So as we're driving, as we are testing, both on road and in simulations, it gets better and better at driving. So that means we can really quickly deploy it into new places, put it on new types of vehicles for logistics or for robotaxis or even maybe some day for personally owned vehicles. For Lucid, the robotaxi offers growth beyond regular electric cars for consumers. The company has been battling slower EV demand and mounting competition.It recently reported 2025 deliveries slightly above estimates, but production was much higher than sales.Lucid CEO Marc Winterhoff says the plan is to tap new markets.:: Marc Winterhoff, CEO of Lucid Group"Before, we were focusing on B2C customers, you know, the regular cars for you and me, which we still do obviously. But now with that cooperation with Uber and others to come, we're now opening the robotaxi market for us. So it's more like expanding the application of our EV technology which has been proven in the last couple of years to be industry leading. And with that cooperation, now we have another market to serve."The partnership plan to launch robotaxi services in the San Francisco Bay Area later this year.</body>
