Irish Independent : Independent | Are plumbers and electricians really the new millionaire class?

AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.

Plumbers, electricians and other skilled tradespeople are being hailed as the emerging “millionaire class” as artificial‑intelligence advances threaten many office jobs. Nvidia’s chief Jensen Huang has warned that AI‑proof occupations such as electricians, plumbers and carpenters will be the real winners of the AI boom, and in Ireland the trend is already reshaping career advice: parents are reconsidering university routes for their children, and the once‑niche story of a lucrative trade is now mainstream. The rising demand for these professions reflects a broader shift toward valuing hands‑on expertise in a market where traditional graduate jobs appear less secure.

Are plumbers and electricians really the new millionaire class?

For decades, a trade was what you did instead of a degree. Now the future for graduates is not looking as bright as it did a decade ago.

Business Latest | Apple's Next CEO Needs to Launch a Killer AI Product by Steven Levy

AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.

Apple’s incoming CEO, John Ternus, faces his first major test: delivering a breakthrough AI product that will make the technology as seamless and indispensable as Apple’s past innovations such as the Mac, iPhone and AirTag. Tim Cook, who will step down in September, left Apple’s AI efforts unfinished—Apple Intelligence debuted in 2024 to little fanfare—so the new leader must capitalize on the company’s custom silicon expertise, including increasingly powerful neural‑engine chips and a forthcoming partnership with Broadcom, to create a consumer‑friendly AI experience. Ternus, a low‑key yet methodical executive with decades at Apple and a background in hardware engineering, is expected to combine the company’s design ethos with a strategic push against rivals like Nvidia, potentially launching a new device or dramatically enhancing existing ones to embed personal AI agents while preserving privacy. The success of this initiative will determine whether Apple can dominate the AI era as it once did with personal computers, mobile phones, and music distribution.

BBC News | Stock markets are too high and set to fall, says Bank of England deputy

AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.

Bank of England deputy governor Sarah Breeden warned that global stock markets are “too high” and vulnerable to a future correction, noting that share prices do not reflect the mounting macro‑economic, credit‑risk and valuation risks facing the economy. She cited concerns over a potential simultaneous shock from a macro‑economic downturn, fragile confidence in private‑credit markets, and inflated AI‑related valuations that echo the dot‑com bubble, while also highlighting the untested scale and complexity of the “shadow banking” system that now holds about $2.5 trillion in private credit. Though she declined to predict the timing or magnitude of any drop, Breeden said the Bank’s focus is on ensuring the financial system can absorb a sharp adjustment without destabilising the broader economy.

Business Latest | At 'AI Coachella,' Stanford Students Line Up to Learn From Silicon Valley Royalty by Maxwell Zeff

AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.

At Stanford, the wildly popular CS 153 course—dubbed “AI Coachella”—has turned into a live podcast‑style forum where Silicon Valley heavyweights such as OpenAI’s Sam Altman, Nvidia’s Jensen Huang, Microsoft’s Satya Nadella, AMD’s Lisa Su and others drop in as guest lecturers, offering students rare access to the leaders of frontier AI. Co‑taught by former Andreessen Horowitz partner Anjney Midha and ex‑Apple VP Michael Abbott, the class fills its 500 seats instantly and streams its sessions on YouTube, drawing both admiration for its insider insight and criticism that it prioritizes celebrity talks over “real” coursework. Midha, who also launched a venture fund with Abbott, uses the platform to share inside knowledge about AI infrastructure, chip pricing and startup dynamics, while also urging students to focus on personal relationships and mental health. Students like sophomore Mahi Jariwala and junior Darrow Hartman say the experience provides valuable mentorship, networking and a “fun” complement to more rigorous classes, even as some faculty and peers mock the course’s “AI Coachella” vibe. The phenomenon highlights Stanford’s unique draw of Silicon Valley access amid broader debates about the value of higher‑education credentials in a world where online tools and recorded lectures are increasingly ubiquitous.

US Top News and Analysis | Investors are hunting for value in a part of the market that was once a growth darling: Software

AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.

Investors are now seeking value in the software sector after a steep decline that left the iShares Expanded Tech‑Software Sector ETF (IGV) down 20% in 2026 and more than 29% below its 52‑week high. Value‑focused managers at First Eagle Investments see this sell‑off as an opportunity, citing Workday as a heavily entrenched, under‑priced name—trading at a forward P/E of 11 versus the S&P 500’s 23—and pointing to its vital role for two‑thirds of Fortune 500 firms. Other analysts highlight Adobe’s recent 5% rebound, fueled by a new $25 billion share‑repurchase program and positive comments from Nvidia’s CEO, as well as ServiceNow, Dynatrace, Box, Microsoft, Oracle and Snowflake, which trade below 20‑times cash flow and show strong growth and competitive moats. While the software category may face disruption, these “bottom‑up” investors believe selective, deeply embedded companies can deliver attractive returns amidst the broader market weakness.

US Top News and Analysis | Adobe tries to climb out of the software stock abyss, with a little help from a buyback and Jensen Huang

AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.

Adobe’s shares have been hammered, falling about 40% from their May 2025 peak as investors fear AI‑driven disruption of the SaaS model, but the company is beginning to recover after its board approved a $25 billion share‑repurchase program and Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang lauded Adobe’s AI‑enhanced tools at the 2026 Adobe Summit. JPMorgan analyst Mark Murphy remains bullish, rating the stock overweight with a $420 target that suggests roughly 70% upside from the current $247 price, citing Adobe’s strong growth, incremental AI monetization, seasoned management and new AI‑infused products such as CX Enterprise Coworker. He argues Adobe’s strategic focus on the “contextual layer” (brand truth, data governance, decisioning) gives it a durable advantage as agentic AI proliferates, and the stock was up about 4% in midday trading.

Jim Cramer’s “Top 10 things to watch” for Wednesday, April 22, 2026 highlights a bullish opening for U.S. stocks after recent S&P 500 and Nasdaq losses, buoyed by solid earnings from Boeing, which posted record‑high backlog and improved cash flow, and a strong first‑quarter performance from GE Vernova driven by AI‑related turbine demand. He notes Capital One’s earnings miss and the resulting price‑target adjustments, while praising Alphabet’s new AI‑training chips as a competitive play against Nvidia. Cramer also mentions SpaceX’s pending $60 billion acquisition of AI‑coding assistant Cursor, JPMorgan’s upbeat Apple earnings outlook amid memory‑chip constraints, Morgan Stanley’s downgrade of Zscaler, Adobe’s $25 billion buyback to support its stock, and Wolfe Research’s confidence in Netflix’s core engagement and global expansion despite an ongoing debate.
