Intel is finally putting its long-awaited eighteen A manufacturing process into real products, a milestone that matters enormously for a company that has spent years trying to reclaim its edge in chip fabrication.

Shifting to earnings, Crocs raised its full-year twenty twenty six revenue guidance to approximately three percent growth, a modest but meaningful upward revision for a brand that has defied skeptics before. The company continues to show that its core consumer remains engaged even in a cautious spending environment, and that guidance lift gives investors a cleaner line of sight into the back half of the year.
Meanwhile, Bandwidth signed eleven customer deals each exceeding one million dollars in contract value, a signal that enterprise demand for its cloud communications platform is holding firm. For long-term holders, deal volume at that threshold suggests the company is moving up-market with some consistency, which is exactly the narrative management has been trying to establish.
That's the tape. Markets Desk, signing off the floor.
