Getty Images shares skyrocketed 179% after the company announced a multi-year display partnership with OpenAI that will integrate Getty’s licensed visual content directly into ChatGPT’s search and discovery feeds. Apogee Therapeutics surged 51% following a Financial Times report that AbbVie is nearing an acquisition of the biotech company in a deal valued at roughly $11 billion, with investor enthusiasm centered on Apogee’s lead asset zumilokibart, an experimental anti-inflammatory therapy viewed as a potential competitor to blockbuster eczema treatment Dupixent. Nextpower edged 2% lower after agreeing to acquire Germany-based solar technology provider Zimmermann PV-Steel Group in a deal valued at up to €330 million, or $378 million, despite the acquisition being expected to contribute roughly €300 million in annual revenue and €45 million in adjusted EBITDA and being accretive. Stock futures were mixed as investors monitored U.S.-Iran peace talks in Switzerland, where mediators noted encouraging progress and a 60-day roadmap toward a final treaty.

Wolters Kluwer Adds Kluwer Law International Content to Libra AI Workspace in 11 European Countries

Wolters Kluwer has added Kluwer Law International content to its Libra legal AI workspace for users in 11 European countries, giving Libra subscribers access to specialist international legal expertise within the same AI-driven environment. The company's Tax & Accounting division also introduced a Designated Vendor Integrator Key for CCH Axcess to manage third-party technology integrations more securely. Wolters Kluwer is a €15.2 billion professional services group focused on information and software tools for lawyers and accountants, and the company said the two moves sit squarely in its core workflow software and data products for professionals across Europe and beyond. The company said the update supports the view that its AI-infused cloud platforms can deepen customer reliance and support recurring revenue quality, with each extra content set or integration making it harder and costlier for law and accounting firms to switch providers. A datapoint to watch is how much of Libra's and CCH Axcess's customer base activates these new capabilities in the next set of segment disclosures and commentary around the 2026 full year results.

Tigress Analyst Raises Alphabet Price Target to Street-High $485

Tigress Financial Partners analyst Ivan Feinseth reiterated a Strong Buy rating on Alphabet and raised his price target to a Street-high $485 from $415, implying roughly 39.6% upside. The bullish thesis centers on Alphabet turning its massive AI investments into growth across Search, Cloud and Gemini, with Feinseth arguing AI Overviews and AI Mode can make Google more useful for complex, high-intent queries. Recent results support that argument: Alphabet's second-quarter revenue rose 24% from a year earlier to $119.8 billion, Search and Other revenue increased 17%, YouTube advertising grew 13%, and operating income climbed 30% to $40.77 billion. Google Cloud revenue surged 82% to $24.8 billion, operating income more than tripled to $8.8 billion, margins reached 35.6%, and its $514 billion backlog gives visibility into future enterprise demand. Gemini has reached 950 million monthly active users, more than 9 million monthly developers and roughly 22 billion API tokens processed per minute, and Feinseth sees monetization opportunities across subscriptions, APIs, enterprise software, agents and productivity products, though the risk remains that Alphabet must prove its enormous AI spending generates sufficient returns.
