• Intel stock jumps as Q3 earnings beat expectations, AI drives chip demand</p>

<p>Intel (INTC) stock jumped more than 7% in premarket trading on Friday as the chipmaker reported third quarter earnings and revenue that topped Wall Street's expectations.</p>

<p>Intel reported $13.7 billion in revenue for the three months ended Sept. 27, higher than the $13.15 billion expected by analysts tracked by Bloomberg and $13.28 billion the previous year. The chipmaker said that adjusted earnings per share was $0.23, above the $0.01 projected by Wall Street. The company reported a loss of $0.46 during the same period in 2024.</p>

<p>CEO Lip-Bu Tan said in a statement that "AI is accelerating demand for compute and creating attractive opportunities across our portfolio," including the company's closely-watched, struggling manufacturing business and its products.</p>

<p>"We believe we're well-positioned to play a more significant role in AI," added Intel's head of investor relations John Pitzer in an interview with Yahoo Finance.</p>

<p>Intel makes CPUs, or traditional computer chips, used alongside AI chips in data center servers to power artificial intelligence software. Its CPUs are also used in computers including AI PCs.</p>

<p>The company said it expects fourth quarter adjusted EPS of $0.08, less than the $0.10 per share estimated by analysts, per Bloomberg consensus data. The chipmaker forecasts revenue of $13.3 billion at the midpoint of its projected range, below the $13.4 billion expected.</p>

<p>Intel said its fourth quarter guidance was below analyst estimates because the company's projections don't include revenue from Altera —a semiconductor firm owned by Intel that the company partly divested in the third quarter.</p>

<p>Intel's third quarter results follow a slew of high-profile investments from the US government, Nvidia (NVDA), and SoftBank (9984.T). The government took a 9.9% stake in the chipmaker in late August, while Nvidia's $5 billion investment amounted to a 4% ownership stake. The investments bolstered both Intel's balance sheet and investor hopes for a turnaround under new chief executive Lip-Bu Tan.</p>

<p>Still, analysts and investors have said those investments do little to change the state of Intel's struggling third-party manufacturing segment. Intel has always manufactured its own chips, but it opened up the business to outside customers in 2021.</p>

<p>Intel's manufacturing arm, Intel Foundry Services, reported an operating loss of $2.3 billion for the third quarter, wider than the $2.2 billion expected but an improvement from the $5.8 billion loss in the previous year.</p>

<p>Creative Strategies principal analyst Ben Bajarin told Yahoo Finance that, overall, Intel's results Thursday were cause for "cautious optimism," but looking ahead, "all eyes move to foundry."</p>

<p>Wall Street fears that heavy spending on the relatively new segment may not pay off. So far, the business has failed to attract substantial commitments from outside customers. Policymakers, however, are heavily invested in the company's success due to its geopolitical significance: Most of the world's computing chips are made in Taiwan, and Intel is the only US-based, large-scale advanced semiconductor manufacturer.</p>

<p>Complicating the path ahead for the business is the fact that Intel is no longer promoting its latest 18A chip production process as a way to attract outside customers. Initial reports indicated both Nvidia and Broadcom (AVGO) were testing the technology, but deals with the firms have failed to materialize.</p>

<p>Instead, Intel has shifted to primarily using 18A for its own internal products, including its Core Ultra series 3 chips for consumers and its Xeon 6+ next-generation data center chip, which is slated to launch in the first half of 2026.</p>

<p>Intel is now focusing on attracting customers through its next-generation advanced manufacturing process, dubbed 14A.</p>

<p>Intel's Pitzer told Yahoo Finance, "[W]e are very pleased by the feedback we're getting with early customer engagements. Quite frankly, where we are today on 14A is absolutely ahead of where we [were] at a similar point in time in the 18A development."</p>

US weekly jobless claims increase, more people collecting unemployment checks, economists estimate

• US weekly jobless claims increase, more people collecting unemployment checks, economists estimate</p>

<p>By Lucia MutikaniOctober 23, 2025 at 7:06 PM</p>

<p>By Lucia Mutikani</p>

<p>WASHINGTON (Reuters) -The number of Americans filing new applications for jobless benefits increased last week, economists estimated on Thursday, and more people were collecting unemployment checks in early October amid easing labor market conditions.</p>

<p>Initial claims for state unemployment benefits rose to a seasonally adjusted 232,000 for the week ended October 18 from 220,000 the prior week, economists at Citigroup and Nationwide calculated. Goldman Sachs estimated claims at 227,000 while JPMorgan put the number at 229,000.</p>

<p>Claims data was unavailable for Tennessee, Massachusetts and Colorado. But economists made assumptions for the three states, similar to what the Labor Department would normally do when data is not available.</p>

<p>States continue to collect the claims figures, submitting them to the Labor Department despite a shutdown of the U.S. government that has caused an economic data blackout.</p>

<p>Economists have taken the unadjusted data to make estimates using seasonal adjustment factors the government published earlier this year, providing some view of the labor market.</p>

<p>Prior to the shutdown, now in its third week, signs of labor market softness were mounting, driven mostly by lackluster hiring that economists have blamed on the Trump administration's trade policy. The estimated claims have stayed within their pre-shutdown range, suggesting there has not been a material pickup in layoffs.</p>

<p>"The latest state-level jobless claims data suggests the labor market remains steady and that layoffs remain low," said Oren Klachkin, financial market economist at Nationwide. "Overall, initial claims remain subdued and aren't flagging an imminent economic downturn."</p>

<p>But there has been a spike in applications by federal employees in recent weeks, likely related to the more than 150,000 workers who dropped off payrolls at the end of September after accepting buyouts.</p>

<p>Furloughed federal employees can apply for unemployment benefits, but they would have to reimburse the program when they receive their back pay. Claims for federal workers are reported under a different program. The latest data for the program was not immediately available.</p>

<p>The regular claims data covered the period during which the government would have surveyed employers for the nonfarm payrolls component of October's employment report.</p>

<p>Economists did not view the shutdown as negatively impacting the quality of October's payrolls count.</p>

<p>They, however, believed the delay could improve the response rate to the survey. A low response rate has been blamed for large revisions to payrolls data.</p>

<p>The Federal Reserve is expected to cut interest rates again next week to aid the labor market.</p>

<p>The number of people receiving unemployment benefits after an initial week of aid, a proxy for hiring, increased to a seasonally adjusted 1.942 million during the week ending October 11 from 1.928 million, Citigroup estimated. Calculations for these so-called continuing claims by Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan and Nationwide were within that ballpark.</p>

<p>The elevated continued claims readings suggest unemployed people are experiencing difficulties landing new positions. The jobless rate rose to nearly a four-year high of 4.3% in August.</p>

<p>"This likely reflects the low hiring environment, as typically hiring would pick up in October for the holiday season," said Gisela Young, an economist at Citigroup. "Some indications suggest holiday hiring may be less than usual this year."</p>

Woman Sparks Backlash Online After Admitting She Told a Friend Her Wedding Dress Is 'Ugly'

<p>-

• Woman Sparks Backlash Online After Admitting She Told a Friend Her Wedding Dress Is 'Ugly'</p>

<p>Rachel RaposasOctober 24, 2025 at 5:00 AM</p>

<p>Wedding dress shopping. -</p>

<p>A woman went wedding dress shopping with her friend, prepared to give her "honest opinion"</p>

<p>When the bride chose a dress her friend didn't like, the friend pushed back, and ultimately called the dress "ugly"</p>

<p>Reddit users widely agreed that the friend was in the wrong: If the bride is truly set on one dress, you get on board</p>

<p>A woman is rethinking her comments about her friend's wedding dress choice.</p>

<p>In a post on Reddit's AITA forum, the woman opened up about going wedding dress shopping with her friend, who she called Lily. Hoping to provide some helpful insight to her friend for her big day, the woman was candid about each dress the bride tried on — but now she's wondering if she was too harsh.</p>

<p>The woman was excited to be included in the dress shopping process and was prepared to give her "honest opinion," as her friend wanted, she wrote.</p>

<p>When Lily settled on a dress, she tried it on to show her friend. The woman was "shocked," she wrote, as the gown wasn't anything like what she would have expected from her friend.</p>

<p>getty</p>

<p>Wedding dress shopping.</p>

<p>"Honestly, I didn't think it was flattering on her at all," the woman wrote. "It was a style I personally didn't like, and I felt it didn't suit her body type."</p>

<p>At first, the woman "tried to be diplomatic," but said she could tell Lily was really invested in this dress. After holding back for a while, the woman told her friend she didn't think it was the best choice for her because, she wrote, it wasn't "as flattering as she probably imagined."</p>

<p>When the woman suggested the bride try a few different styles to consider her options, Lily seemed dismayed, the woman wrote.</p>

<p>"She got upset and said I should have just kept my opinion to myself if I couldn't be supportive," the woman wrote. "She called me rude for saying it was 'ugly' and said I ruined the moment for her."</p>

<p>In the moment, the woman felt it was right to share her honest opinion, but since they went shopping, the bride is now barely talking to her friend. Now the woman is wondering if she was wrong to speak up or for being too harsh.</p>

<p>Getty</p>

<p>People in the post's comment section sided with the bride: If the bride loves it, and you love her, you get on board for her sake, many wrote in their own way.</p>

<p>One user instead suggested making positive remarks about the bride and not the dress. "You look SO happy and excited! I can't wait to see it with the whole ensemble on your wedding day," the user proposed as a response to a dress that the friend doesn't love.</p>

<p>Users also argued that while the friend wasn't wrong for voicing her opinion at first, she was out of line for pressing the matter even after the bride said she was set on this one dress.</p>

<p>"There's being honest…then there's being blunt. Blunt can pack a punch, especially if it's the dress she loves. Tact means not sharing everything you think," one commenter wrote. "'Not as flattering as you imagine' is essentially telling her she doesn't know what looks good on her. Yikes!"</p>

Oreo-maker Mondelez to use new generative AI tool to slash marketing costs

<p>By Jessica DiNapoli</p>

<p>NEW YORK (Reuters) -Snack maker Mondelez is using a new generative AI tool to cut costs for the production of marketing content by 30% to 50%, a senior executive told Reuters.</p>

<p>The packaged food manufacturer began developing the tool last year with IT firm Accenture and expects that it will be capable of making short TV ads that would be ready to air as soon as next year's holiday season, and potentially for the 2027 Super Bowl, said Jon Halvorson, Mondelez's global senior vice president of consumer experience.</p>

<p>The Cadbury chocolate producer has invested more than $40 million in the tool, Halvorson said, adding that savings would grow if the tool is able to make more elaborate videos.</p>

<p>Faced with tariffs and shrinking shopper budgets, Mondelez, like other consumer goods companies, is looking to adopt AI to slash fees paid to advertising agencies, and speed up how long it takes to develop and sell new products.</p>

<p>Rivals such as macaroni-and-cheese maker Kraft Heinz and Coca-Cola have also been trying out AI for ads. Coke in 2024 ran AI-created holiday ads, though the computer-created people in them were ridiculed by some consumers for lacking real emotion.</p>

<p>Mondelez is not yet putting human likenesses in its AI-created content.</p>

<p>It is using content generated by the new tool on social media for its Chips Ahoy cookies in the U.S. and Milka chocolate in Germany. An eight-second Milka video shows waves of chocolate rippling over a wafer, along with different backgrounds depending on which consumer Mondelez is targeting.</p>

<p>The cost to do animations "is in the hundreds of thousands," Halvorson said. "This type of set-up is orders of magnitude smaller."</p>

<p>In the U.S., Oreo will use the tool for product pages on Amazon and Walmart in November. Mondelez plans to use the tool in the coming months for Lacta chocolate and Oreo in Brazil, and Cadbury in the UK, Halvorson said.</p>

<p>Tina Vaswani, vice president of digital enablement and data for the company, said humans will always check what the tool produces to avoid any mishaps. Mondelez has rules prohibiting highlighting unhealthy eating habits, vaping, over-consumption, emotionally manipulative language and the use of offensive stereotypes, according to a document shared by the Chicago-based company.</p>

• USA TODAY and Yahoo may earn commission from links in this article. Pricing and availability subject to change.From 'Weapons' to 'A House of Dynamite,' 10 movies you need to stream right now</p>

<p>Brian Truitt, USA TODAYOctober 24, 2025 at 5:15 AM</p>

<p>Love movies? Live for TV? USA TODAY's Watch Party newsletter has all the best recommendations, delivered right to your inbox. Sign up now and be one of the cool kids.</p>

<p>From thrillers with missing kids and an unhinged nanny to a movie about a nuclear attack, streaming services are doing their darndest to rattle your nerves.</p>

<p>A heap of intriguing new films are hitting your favorites like Netflix, Hulu, Peacock and Amazon's Prime Video for all different tastes. There are some theatrical releases coming home for the first time, like a buzzy Julia Garner horror flick and a celebrity satire with Kate Hudson and Elisabeth Moss. And there's also original stuff like Kathryn Bigelow's Oscar-ready doomsday drama and Ben Stiller's documentary about his parents, Jerry Stiller and Anne Meara.</p>

<p>Here are 10 new and notable movies you can stream right now:</p>

<p>'40 Acres'</p>

<p>Danielle Deadwyler plays an ex-soldier keeping her family and farm safe from a band of cannibalistic marauders in the action thriller "40 Acres."</p>

<p>In the post-apocalyptic thriller, ex-solder Hailey Freeman (Danielle Deadwyler) runs a large farm more than a decade after a fungal pandemic and civil war altered civilization. But a mistake by her son leads to Hailey scrambling to save her family when they're suddenly under siege by a bunch of cannibalistic invaders.</p>

<p>Where to watch: Hulu</p>

<p>'The Hand That Rocks the Cradle'</p>

<p>Polly (Maika Monroe, center left) poses as a nanny to infiltrate the family of Caitlin (Mary Elizabeth Winstead) in the thriller "The Hand That Rocks the Cradle," a remake of the 1992 film.</p>

<p>It's definitely a different, more grounded take on the soapy 1992 original, which featured a deliciously over-the-top Rebecca De Mornay. This time, it's Maika Monroe as the manipulative nanny who inserts herself into a family dynamic – for reasons – and Mary Elizabeth Winstead as the wife forced to deal with her shady shenanigans.</p>

<p>Where to watch: Hulu</p>

<p>'A House of Dynamite'</p>

<p>The president (Idris Elba) is under fire to figure out how to respond when a nuclear missile is launched at America in the thriller "A House of Dynamite."</p>

<p>If you're feeling iffy about the state of the world, Kathryn Bigelow's political thriller won't exactly be a pick-me-up. But it is an important watch, imagining a scenario where government officials have 18 minutes before a nuclear missile hits America in a nerve-shredding movie starring Idris Elba, Jared Harris and Rebecca Ferguson.</p>

<p>Where to watch: Netflix</p>

<p>'I Know What You Did Last Summer'</p>

<p>That murderous menace known as the Fisherman is back in the horror reboot "I Know What You Did Last Summer."</p>

<p>Need some 1990s nostalgia? Jennifer Love Hewitt and Freddie Prinze Jr., stars of the original "Last Summer," return for the slasher reboot. Their characters try to help when the Fisherman, a hook-wielding murderous menace in a rain slicker, returns to haunt yet another group of youngsters with no respect for road safety.</p>

<p>Where to watch: Netflix</p>

<p>'The Perfect Neighbor'</p>

<p>The documentary "The Perfect Neighbor" chronicles the disputes between an older woman and her neighborhood that turn deadly.</p>

<p>Told almost completely through police bodycam footage, the documentary centers on the increasingly hostile disputes between an older white woman and the parents of the mostly black children she berates, leading a tragedy that shakes their neighborhood. It's a gripping, heartbreaking true story about how fear and prejudice can easily go too far.</p>

<p>Where to watch: Netflix</p>

<p>'Shell'</p>

<p>A fading actress (Elisabeth Moss, right) looks to a wellness guru (Kate Hudson) to save her career in the horror satire "Shell."</p>

<p>Here come retreads of "The Substance," though at least this body horror satire has got some star power. Elisabeth Moss plays a former sitcom star who, after losing one too many jobs to younger actresses, comes under the sway of a powerful wellness guru (Kate Hudson) but begins to sense something sinister afoot.</p>

<p>Where to watch: Paramount+</p>

<p>'Stay'</p>

<p>Moving out of their house marks the ending of a once tight-knit marriage between a troubled author (Megalyn Echikunwoke) and a former MMA fighter (Mo McRae). Moving on, however, becomes a problem when a mysterious unseen force traps and forces them to relive past traumas together in this supernatural soap opera.</p>

<p>Where to watch: Hulu</p>

<p>'Stiller & Meara: Nothing Is Lost'</p>

<p>Jerry Stiller and a young Ben Stiller are featured in an archival family photo from the documentary "Stiller & Meara: Nothing Is Lost."</p>

<p>Ben Stiller directs this loving documentary about his parents, Jerry Stiller and Anne Meara. With sister Amy, Ben chronicles his mom and dad's careers, coming together as a comedy duo that hit it big as a regular act on "The Ed Sullivan Show" in the 1960s, and also digs into their personal lives and the friction between them off stage.</p>

<p>Where to watch: Apple TV</p>

<p>'The Twits'</p>

<p>Voiced by Johnny Vegas and Margo Martindale, Mr. and Mrs. Twit are terrible people who try to take over their town and get pushback from some gutsy orphans in the animated comedy "The Twits."</p>

<p>The first screen adaptation of Roald Dahl's gross-out extravaganza, the animated comedy centers on an abhorrent, mean-spirited couple (voiced by Margo Martindale and Johnny Vegas) who want to take over their town. Their power play is matched by some good-hearted foes: a pair of young orphans and a crew of magical animals.</p>

<p>Where to watch: Netflix</p>

<p>'Weapons'</p>

<p>Amy Madigan plays freaky Aunt Gladys in the horror movie "Weapons."</p>

<p>In "Barbarian" director Zach Cregger's mystery-horror tale, a class full of elementary school kids go missing one night, their teacher (Julia Garner) becomes the town pariah, but there's something seriously witchy at work. Really, though, worth it for Amy Madigan's creepy Aunt Gladys alone. (If you don't have a Gladys costume in place, you're doing Halloween wrong.)</p>

<p>Where to watch: HBO Max</p>

This Underrated 2017 Crime Thriller Is Leaving Netflix in April 2025

Netflix has an avalanche of content, and it's often hard to know what to watch. Even if you found something you like and put it in your queue, it could leave the streamer before you watched it. With each month, the streamer loses a handful of movies, and there's one in particular you should watch before it exits in a couple of weeks. That movie, Molly's Game, isn't exactly obscure-it received a healthy reception from critics when it was released on Christmas Day, 2017, and it was a moderate success at the box office.
