A TON OF THINGS HAPPENED IN THE STOCK MARKET TODAY.

Here's a full recap:

1. SanDisk $Sandisk(SNDK.US) laid out its investor day targets, guiding for mid-to-high teens revenue growth, roughly 80% non-GAAP gross margins, and about 50% adjusted free cash flow margins. The company also expects to return 100% of excess cash to shareholders. SanDisk highlighted its HBF technology as a potential major efficiency unlock for AI inference, saying internal testing showed 1 HBF GPU could run the same model that required 8 HBM GPUs, implying 8x CapEx efficiency, while 4 HBF GPUs matched the token output of 8 HBM GPUs, implying 2x GPU efficiency. $Sandisk(SNDK.US) was up 14%.

2. U.S. PPI came in slightly cooler on the headline number, rising 4.7% YoY versus 4.9% expected and 0.0% MoM versus 0.2% expected. Core PPI was mixed, rising 4.2% YoY versus 4.1% expected, but only 0.2% MoM versus 0.3% expected. Initial jobless claims came in at 209K versus 202K expected, while continued claims were 1.777M versus 1.794M expected.

3. Norway’s $2.3T sovereign wealth fund, the world’s largest, generated a record $184.3B profit in H1 2026. The fund returned 9.4% over the period, with its 72.1% equity allocation up 13.0%.

Nvidia $NVIDIA(NVDA.US) remained the fund’s largest holding at the end of H1, followed by Microsoft $Microsoft(MSFT.US) and Apple $Apple(AAPL.US). Norway’s fund now owns roughly 1.5% of all publicly listed companies globally and has become one of the world’s largest institutional investors in AI-related stocks.

4. OpenAI’s annualized revenue has reportedly topped $40B, roughly doubling its run rate from the end of 2025, according to Bloomberg. July run-rate revenue rose more than 20% MoM, driven by strength in Codex, subscriptions, and early ad sales, highlighting how quickly OpenAI’s monetization is scaling across both consumer and business lines.

5. Reddit $Reddit(RDDT.US) is set to join the S&P 500 before the open on August 18, replacing AvalonBay Communities $AvalonBay Communities(AVB.US). AvalonBay is being acquired by Equity Residential $Equity Residential(EQR.US), with the combined company expected to remain in the index under the new name Vivmark Residential $Vivmark Residential(VMRK.US). S&P Dow Jones Indices also announced that Sun Communities $Sun Communities(SUI.US) will join the S&P MidCap 400 before the open on August 20, replacing Webster Financial $Webster Financial-Waterbury(WBS.US), which is being acquired by Banco Santander $Banco Santander SA-Spon(SAN.US).

10. Nebius $Nebius(NBIS.US) is facing permitting-related delays at its Vineland data center after Hunterbrook reported a second stop-construction order at the site. The first order, issued on August 6, paused LNG tank work, while the second, issued on August 10, paused Bloom Energy $Bloom Energy(BE.US) fuel-cell work after the city said required approvals and permits had not been secured. Nebius said on August 12 that it does not expect a material impact to the project timeline and confirmed that Vineland capacity remains included in its 2026 connected power targets. The main building structure was completed earlier this summer, engineering fit-out is underway, and fuel-cell installation is expected to move quickly once the permitting issues are resolved.

11. OpenAI is replacing chief revenue officer Denise Dresser less than a year after she joined the company. Dresser is leaving to pursue other opportunities, while Dali Rajic, president and COO of Alphabet-owned Wiz, will take over the role.
