Microsoft Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>), <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/microsoft" rel="noreferrer noopener">in partnership with</a> the Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation (WEDC), the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee (UWM), and TitletownTech, announced on Wednesday the opening of an AI Co-Innovation Lab on the UWM campus.
It marks Microsoft&#8217;s first AI Co-Innovation Lab dedicated <a target="_blank" href="https://news.microsoft.com/source/2025/06/25/microsoft-wisconsin-economic-development-corporation-university-of-wisconsin-milwaukee-and-titletowntech-officially-open-ai-co-innovation-lab-to-accelerate-manufacturing-innovation/" rel="noreferrer noopener">to manufacturing innovation</a>. The lab&#8217;s launch comes one year after Microsoft&#8217;s $3.3 billion investment to build AI infrastructure in Wisconsin.&nbsp;
From real-time fault detection in industrial machinery to multilingual voice assistants that streamline gate, dock, and yard logistics, local companies are working to apply Microsoft&#8217;s AI technologies to improve operations and decision-making. Others are building tools to forecast supply chain lead times, manage hydroponic farms, and deliver proactive customer support.

The lab also works with organizations across industries, including small and medium-sized businesses, enterprises, startups, and academia. This reflects the broad networks and experience of the lab&#8217;s founding partners: Microsoft, WEDC, UWM, and TitletownTech.
In January 2025, Microsoft <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/42806852/microsoft-pauses-construction-on-33-billion-mount-pleasant-data-center-project-cites-technology-changes-and-design-re-evaluation" rel="noreferrer noopener">announced it would</a> temporarily pause construction on parts of its data center project in Mount Pleasant, Wisconsin. However, the company confirmed it still plans to finish the data center&#8217;s first phase, with a total investment of $3.3 billion expected by the end of 2026.
The Mount Pleasant site holds a historical context: it was originally selected for a Foxconn megaproject that was ultimately canceled. Foxconn, formally known as Hon Hai Precision Industry, is a multinational electronics contract manufacturing company and a major supplier for Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>). Foxconn had initially pledged a $10 billion investment in the area, but this commitment was later reduced significantly to $672 million.
Microsoft has made substantial financial commitments to AI development, allocating approximately $80 billion in fiscal 2025 to develop data centers globally. These data centers are crucial for supporting AI model training and deploying AI and cloud-based applications.
In May 2025, Microsoft showcased new products and partnerships with OpenAI, Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>), and Elon Musk&#8217;s xAI, all targeting Microsoft Azure cloud clients to sell AI models during its annual Build conference in Seattle. Microsoft introduced a new coding &#8220;agent,&#8221; among other innovations.
Goldman Sachs analyst Kash Rangan told the Financial Times that Microsoft is the AI ringleader, citing it as the top platform and catalyst for making models work.
MSFT&nbsp;Price Action:&nbsp;MSFT stock was trading higher by 0.31% to $493.82 premarket at last check Thursday.

President Donald Trump&#8216;s fiscal 2026 defense budget request signals a strategic pivot toward advanced missile systems and unmanned warfare capabilities while scaling back traditional fighter jet procurement, potentially reshaping revenue streams for major defense contractors.
What Happened: The $892.6 billion defense and national security budget, flat compared to fiscal 2025, cuts F-35 Lightning II orders to 47 units from the 68 requested in former President Joe Biden&#8216;s final budget proposal, Reuters reported, citing budget materials released on Wednesday by the White House.
Lockheed Martin Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LMT#NYSE">LMT</a>), the F-35&#8217;s sole manufacturer, faces reduced near-term revenue from the program despite House appropriators proposing to increase the buy to 69 aircraft.
The budget emphasizes procurement of long-range precision munitions, including the Joint Air-to-Surface Standoff Missile Extended Range and Long Range Anti-Ship Missile, both manufactured by Lockheed Martin. These weapons systems align with Pentagon priorities for Indo-Pacific operations designed to counter Chinese military expansion.
Naval shipbuilding also faces constraints, with only three warships included in the base budget request. General Dynamics Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GD#NYSE">GD</a>) and Huntington Ingalls Industries Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HII#NYSE">HII</a>), primary builders of Virginia-class submarines and surface vessels, will see reduced procurement volumes as the Navy eliminates 7,286 civilian positions to control costs.

Why It Matters: The budget allocates increased funding for small drone systems, reflecting lessons learned from the Ukraine conflict, where unmanned aerial vehicles proved cost-effective force multipliers. This shift <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/space/25/06/46090791/us-tests-radar-that-could-help-trumps-golden-dome-detect-missiles-over-1200-miles-report">benefits emerging defense technology</a> companies competing for Pentagon contracts alongside traditional prime contractors.
Trump&#8217;s Golden Dome missile defense initiative, estimated to cost over $175 billion, receives initial funding through a separate $150 billion defense package. The program has attracted interest from non-traditional defense players, including SpaceX, Palantir Technologies Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NYSE">PLTR</a>), and artificial intelligence <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/space/25/06/46090791/us-tests-radar-that-could-help-trumps-golden-dome-detect-missiles-over-1200-miles-report">companies seeking to disrupt</a> the established contractor base.
The budget includes a 3.8% military pay raise while retiring aging platforms to reduce operational costs, according to the report.

In a significant showcase for investors, <a href="https://cts.businesswire.com/ct/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fbeonemedicines.com%2F&amp;esheet=54282398&amp;newsitemid=20250626270573&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=BeOne+Medicines+Ltd.&amp;index=1&amp;md5=c3d88d2f6d71f05a0aa6c2ae0266e81c">BeOne Medicines Ltd.</a> (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ONC#NASDAQ">ONC</a>, HKEX: 06160, SSE: 688235))), a global oncology company, will announce major advancements to its industry-leading oncology pipeline during today's investor R&amp;D Day. The event comes at a pivotal moment for the Company, which has more than 40 clinical and commercial stage assets in development, a signal of both scale and ambition.
"At BeOne, our mission is simple yet bold: to create the world's first next-generation oncology company," said John V. Oyler, Co-Founder, Chairman, and CEO. "What we will unveil demonstrates our progress towards this goal today, and the promise for tomorrow. From our innovative discovery engine to one of the broadest pipelines in oncology, we are well-positioned to bring transformative medicines to patients worldwide—and to do so with speed, quality, and purpose."
BeOne's integrated, end-to-end R&amp;D model is engineered for efficiency without compromise. The Company's differentiated approach—combining in-house discovery targeting unmet patient needs, parallel early-stage exploration at low incremental cost, and rapid proof-of-concept generation—enables swift progression from bench to clinic. Our in-house manufacturing around the world, including our flagship facility in Hopewell, NJ, means we have a sustainable business model, purpose built with competitive advantages. This rigorous model has fueled a pipeline of more than 40 clinical and commercial-stage assets, making it one of the most productive in the industry. To complement this research engine, BeOne has built a robust global clinical development platform, with more than 170 trials conducted across 40 countries and more than 25,000 patients enrolled to date.
In hematologic cancers, the Company's program is driven by its wholly-owned assets including BRUKINSA&#xAE; (zanubrutinib), a second-generation covalent BTK inhibitor and the backbone of the hematology franchise, sonrotoclax, a potential best-in-class next-generation BCL2 inhibitor, and BGB-16673, a BTK CDAC. New clinical data from CaDAnCe-101 highlight the promise of BGB-16673, a potential first-in-class BTK degrader, for patients with relapsed or refractory B-cell malignancies, including chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). Meanwhile, early data show the combination of sonrotoclax and BRUKINSA has demonstrated compelling efficacy and the potential to offer a best-in-class fixed-duration treatment in CLL, setting the stage for a possible new standard of care.
In solid tumors, the Company is advancing multiple targeted modalities beyond its foundational PD-1 inhibitor TEVIMBRA&#xAE; (tislelizumab-jsgr), including CDK4 inhibitor BGB-43395, which has shown clear pharmacodynamic activity and is expected to enter registration-enabling studies for the treatment of breast cancer within the next six to 12 months.
Promising new data for the B7-H4 ADC (BG-C9074) point to a potential first-in-class therapeutic option for patients with B7-H4 expressing tumors, including those without selection criteria. Additionally, early data from the novel PRMT5 inhibitor suggest a favorable safety profile and promising efficacy, supporting its potential for differentiation in the competitive lung cancer field.

Edgewise Therapeutics, Inc., (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EWTX#NASDAQ">EWTX</a>), a leading muscle disease biopharmaceutical company, today unveiled positive results in its sevasemten program for Becker and Duchenne muscular dystrophies.
&nbsp;
The Company announced positive data from MESA, an open label extension trial that is providing continued access to sevasemten to participants with Becker who were previously enrolled in ARCH, or completed CANYON, GRAND CANYON, or DUNE. As of the March 2025 data cut, 99% of eligible participants (n=85) are enrolled in MESA.
The MESA data demonstrated sustained disease stabilization, reinforcing prior ARCH and CANYON findings. Importantly, CANYON participants who rolled over to MESA showed increased North Star Ambulatory Assessment (NSAA) scores over 18 months (0.8 point improvement from baseline), with a trend toward improvement in placebo participants switching to sevasemten (0.2 point improvement since initiation of sevasemten). During the 18 months of sevasemten treatment, participants' NSAA scores continued to diverge relative to the expected functional declines seen in multiple Becker natural history studies. Further, NSAA scores for ARCH participants who rolled over to MESA remained stable after three years of treatment. Sevasemten continues to demonstrate a favorable safety profile after up to three years of treatment.&nbsp;

The Netherlands-based company and its exclusive optics partner Carl Zeiss are studying designs for machines that could print circuits with a&nbsp;resolution like 5 nanometers in a single exposure, Nikkei Asia <a target="_blank" href="https://asia.nikkei.com/Editor-s-Picks/Interview/ASML-commits-to-developing-even-more-advanced-chipmaking-tools" rel="noreferrer noopener">reported</a> on Thursday, citing ASML executive vice president Jos Benschop.
They expect the technology to meet the industry&#8217;s needs from 2035 and beyond.

Dutch giant ASML&#8217;s stock has faced significant headwinds, plunging over 27% in the last 12 months. This decline is largely attributable to mounting geopolitical tensions and pervasive macroeconomic uncertainty impacting the global technology sector.
The company has seen its market value diminish by over $130 billion within a year, primarily due to export restrictions to China imposed by the Dutch government, influenced by U.S. pressure aimed at limiting China&#8217;s access to advanced chip technology. Additionally, broader uncertainty surrounding U.S. tariffs on goods from various countries has contributed to investor apprehension.3
Consequently, multiple Wall Street firms have <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/ASML/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">downgraded their ratings</a> for ASML and revised their price forecasts, reflecting concerns about the company&#8217;s immediate growth prospects given the restrictive trade environment.
Meanwhile, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSM#NYSE">TSM</a>) <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/media/25/05/45653729/taiwan-semiconductor-and-intel-weigh-benefits-of-asmls-pricey-chipmaking-equipment" rel="noreferrer noopener">and other chipmakers</a> are still assessing ASML&#8217;s high numerical aperture (NA) machines for use in their most advanced nodes.
Despite the nearly $400 million price tag, almost double that of other equipment, these machines have yet to prove faster or more beneficial than existing chip fabrication tools.
In a notable development, Kevin Zhang from Taiwan Semiconductor rejected using ASML&#8217;s high-NA machines for its A16 node, citing cost concerns, and instead considered using low-NA EUV machines to achieve scaling advantages.
Conversely, Intel Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTC#NASDAQ">INTC</a>) plans to adopt the High-NA EUV machine for its 14A process to strengthen its contract chip business and better compete with Taiwan Semiconductor. However, the company noted that customers could still opt for older, well-tested technologies.
Price Action: ASML stock concluded Wednesday&#8217;s trading session higher by 0.23%, closing at $815.24.

Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) CEO Andy Jassy&#8216;s recent announcement that artificial intelligence will shrink the company&#8217;s corporate workforce has prompted a stark warning from former Amazon Vice President Ethan Evans, who says employees must adapt or face elimination.
Check out the current price of <a href="https://benzinga.com/quote/amzn">AMZN stock here</a>.
What Happened: Evans wrote on X on Wednesday that Jassy is delivering &#8220;a really simple truth&#8221; to give current Amazon employees time to prepare for job competition driven by AI efficiency gains. &#8220;Amazon, even with new projects, does not expect to keep everyone,&#8221; Evans stated, adding that the company will retain &#8220;the most productive, most valuable people.&#8221;
The former VP, who worked directly with Jassy, characterized the CEO&#8217;s Tuesday blog post as firing &#8220;the starting gun&#8221; on an internal race where employees must prove their AI-resistant value or risk layoffs.
Evans urged workers to identify skills that AI cannot easily replace and invest in capabilities where AI enhances rather than replaces human performance.

Internal employee reactions viewed by Business Insider <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/45990634/amazon-ceo-andy-jassys-ai-led-job-cuts-warning-sparks-backlash-as-employee-reportedly-says-its-clearly-part-of-the-plan">showed mixed responses across Slack channels</a>. &#8220;There is nothing more motivating on a Tuesday than reading that your job will be replaced by AI in a few years,&#8221; one employee wrote. Others questioned whether senior leadership would face similar cuts, noting Amazon&#8217;s S-team expansion under Jassy.
The workforce warning comes as Amazon froze <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/45990634/amazon-ceo-andy-jassys-ai-led-job-cuts-warning-sparks-backlash-as-employee-reportedly-says-its-clearly-part-of-the-plan">retail hiring budgets this year</a> while expanding AI capabilities. Jassy previously called AI investments a &#8220;once-in-a-lifetime reinvention of everything we know,&#8221; emphasizing substantial capital requirements for AI chips and data centers.
Evans warned that attacking leadership for delivering &#8220;unpleasant truth&#8221; only encourages delays that lead to &#8220;brutal surprise down the road.&#8221; He advised employees to start transitioning skills immediately, stating, &#8220;Get started or get hurt.&#8221;

Amazon CEO Andy Jassy Warns Of AI-Driven Workforce Reduction — AMZN 'Won't Keep Everyone,' Says Ex-VP Ethan Evans In Warning To Employees

Patrick&nbsp;Witt, deputy director of the White House Council on Digital Assets, said Wednesday that the administration is pursuing a &#8220;accumulation plan&#8221; to acquire Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) for the strategic national reserve.
What Happened:&nbsp;During a fireside chat at the Bitcoin Policy Summit in Washington, D.C., Witt emphasized the Trump administration&#8217;s dedication to the leading cryptocurrency.
&#8220;We&#8217;ve&nbsp;already taken some steps with&nbsp;the SBR [Strategic Bitcoin Reserve]. How&nbsp;do we follow that up&nbsp;with an accumulation plan,&#8221; he stated. &#8220;There&#8217;s no shortage of opportunities and things to do.&#8221;

</figure>
Witt also acknowledged the challenges in implementing these plans, but assured that the team is &#8220;working around the clock&#8221; to realize President Donald Trump&#8217;s vision.
&#8220;The&nbsp;president on down we&#8217;re&nbsp;all committed to Bitcoin. We&nbsp;want to see it thrive.&nbsp;We want this to be&nbsp;the crypto capital of the&nbsp;world,&#8221; he said.

Why It Matters:&nbsp;Witt&#8217;s remarks aligned with previous indications from the White House regarding its focus on Bitcoin. In March, Bo Hines, the&nbsp;executive director of the White House Council on Digital Assets, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/03/44450232/white-house-says-gold-reserves-may-be-used-to-purchase-bitcoin">hinted at the possibility</a> of the U.S. utilizing its gold reserves to acquire more Bitcoin.
Last month, Trump's crypto and AI advisor, David Sacks, said that the path to acquiring Bitcoin for the strategic reserve is ready and it's just a matter of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/05/45635887/trumps-crypto-advisor-about-us-plans-on-buying-more-bitcoin-it-all-boils-down-to">getting the relevant executive departments "excited</a>." 
Trump signed an executive order to&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44183572/trump-establishes-strategic-bitcoin-reserve-funded-by-forfeited-assets-i-made-the-promise" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">establish</a>&nbsp;a strategic Bitcoin reserve earlier this year. The order allows for the purchase of additional BTC, provided there are no incremental costs to taxpayers.
However, little has come from the executive side since the order was signed. Moreover, some analysts have dubbed the idea of selling gold to accumulate Bitcoin&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/03/44148667/a-benzinga-debate-on-federal-reserve-assets-our-contributors-speak-on-gold-bitcoin" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">a &#8220;very risky&#8221; prospect</a>.
Price Action:&nbsp; At the time of writing, Bitcoin was exchanging hands at $107,813.32, up 1.08% in the last 24 hours, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard?_gl=1&#x2A;380nj0&#x2A;_ga&#x2A;MTEyOTAyOTcxMy4xNzEzMzY0NTYy&#x2A;_ga_V7ZK73W7N0&#x2A;MTcxNDk4MzIzMi42LjEuMTcxNDk4OTE0Ni4wLjAuMA..">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.

Why Worthington Steel Shares Are Trading Higher By Over 15%; Here Are 20 Stocks Moving Premarket

A widely watched labor market sentiment indicator has dropped to its lowest level since early 2017, excluding the pandemic spike, signaling potential trouble ahead for the U.S. job market.
What Happened: On Wednesday, The Kobeissi Letter shared the results of the recent Conference Board's Consumer Confidence survey, showing that the gap between the percentage of Americans who say jobs are &#8220;plentiful&#8221; and those who say they are &#8220;hard to get&#8221; has shrunk to just 11.1%.
Seen by many economists as a forward-looking signal for labor market strength or weakness, historically, the narrowing of this spread has almost always been followed by a rise in unemployment. The spread is now at its lowest level since 2017, ignoring the spike seen during the COVID-19 pandemic.

According to the post, &#8220;It now suggests the unemployment rate could rise to 6.0% in the coming months.&#8221;
For context, the current U.S. unemployment numbers stand at 4.2%, according to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45661563/one-in-four-americans-are-functionally-jobless-the-true-unemployment-metric-thats-raced-to-its-highest-in-months">the latest data</a> from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. As such, these figures show that the labor market is deteriorating faster than the headlines numbers might indicate.
&#8220;The labor market is clearly losing momentum,&#8221; the post says in conclusion.

Why It Matters: While the U.S. unemployment report came in steady at 4.2% in May, there are growing concerns that AI is <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/05/45613320/ai-is-gutting-entry-level-jobs-and-gen-z-is-paying-the-price-warns-linkedins-aneesh-raman">gutting entry-level jobs</a>, hitting recent Gen Z college graduates the hardest.
On Wednesday, economist Craig Shapiro warned that AI <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/economic-data/25/06/46093421/ai-will-disrupt-25-of-us-jobs-by-2030-and-the-fed-cant-save-them-economist-warns">will disrupt 25% of all jobs</a> by 2030, and there is little to nothing that the Federal Reserve can do to address this issue.
&#8220;AI-driven labor displacement, accelerating in 2025, poses a structural crisis that Federal Reserve rate cuts cannot fix,&#8221; he said.
