July 3rd - According to CNBC, US President Trump stated on Thursday that AI investment is "larger" than the internet construction of the late 1990s, and total capital expenditure matches this assertion. Goldman Sachs estimated in 2025 that AI capital expenditure would need to reach $700 billion by 2026 to match the peak spending levels of the telecommunications construction boom in the late 1990s. The investment bank predicted in May that AI capital expenditure would reach $765 billion this year and is expected to grow to $1.6 trillion annually by 2031.

Trump stated that he would not sign the housing bill until Congress presented it to him for his signature. "I think the Protect America Act is the most important bill we have right now, and for years to come," Trump said. The bill would require voters to show photo identification when voting and to provide proof of citizenship when registering to vote. Regarding the housing bill, Trump said, "There are a lot of provisions in it that the Democrats put forward, and I even think theyre not right, but thats okay. But Ive made my position clear: Id rather not sign any bill until I sign the Protect America Act."

Lyft's Stock Falls After Revenue And Passenger Misses

On Monday, ride-hailing startup Lyft Inc (NASDAQ:LYFT) forecast current-quarter revenue below Wall Street estimates as user growth on its platform slowed, falling behind bigger rival Uber Technologies Inc (NYSE:UBER) and sending its shares down 13%.


According to FactSet, Lyft's active riders climbed by 7.2% to 20.3 million in the third quarter, which was the year's slowest quarterly growth and fell short of the consensus estimate of 21.3 million.


However, revenue per active rider increased by 13.7% to $51.88, representing the highest increase compared to the previous two quarters.


Uber holds a greater percentage of the ridesharing sector, has international operations, and revenues from its food delivery business.


After Uber reported a lucrative quarter and said last week that it was not seeing any signs of a consumer slump, there were high hopes for Lyft.


Rider expansion for Lyft is slowing.


"Lyft is losing market share to Uber because it lacks the cross-platform offering Uber has established with ride-sharing and Eats," said Nicholas Cauley, an analyst at Third Bridge.


On a post-earnings conference call, Lyft executives advised analysts that they were not observing any worrisome macro patterns heading into the fourth quarter, and that they were relying on cost-cutting measures and demand to enhance profitability and growth.


John Zimmer, the president of Lyft, said in an interview, "Historically, in a recessionary context, transportation is more resilient than delivery and takeout because we need to move about."


According to Refinitiv IBES statistics, the company expects fourth-quarter revenues between $1.15 billion and $1.17 billion, while analysts predict $1.17 billion.


As the company pays for driver insurance in the current quarter, it expects growing insurance prices to have a negative impact.


The business expected adjusted EBITDA (profits before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization), a profitability measure frequently monitored by investors, to range between $80 million and $100 million, compared to the $84.5 million predicted by analysts.


An analyst at D.A. Davidson, Tom White, said, "It's more of a cost-cutting victory than a growth one."
