Air India says no issues in locking mechanism of fuel control switches in Boeing fleet
Air India said Tuesday that preliminary inspections found no issues in the locking mechanism of fuel control switches for select Boeing aircrafts. The announcement followed a preliminary investigation into last month's Air India plane crash that the switches shifted and flipped within seconds, starving both engines of fuel. Air India operates a fleet of Boeing 787 Dreamliners for long-distance operations, while subsidiary and low-cost unit Air India Express operates the Boeing 737 jets for short-haul flights. 4 Air India says no issues in locking mechanism of fuel control switches in Boeing fleet. Indian aircraft accident investigation bureau The airline inspected its entire fleet of both types of aircraft. 'In the inspections, no issues were found with the said locking mechanism,' the airline's statement said. The investigation by India's Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau into the London-bound plane that crashed in the northwestern city of Ahmedabad on June 12, killing 260 people, is centered around the fuel control switches on the Boeing 787 jetliner. One person survived the crash. Last week, India's aviation regulator ordered all airlines operating several Boeing models to examine fuel control switches and submit their findings to the regulator by July 21. Air India has 33 Dreamliners in its fleet, and Air India Express operates 75 Boeing 737 jets. In the past few weeks, the airline has faced disruptions in services amid heightened scrutiny and additional safety inspections, leading to flight delays, cancellations and growing passenger anxiety. 4 The announcement followed a preliminary investigation into last month's Air India plane crash that the switches shifted and flipped within seconds, starving both engines of fuel. Indian aircraft accident investigation bureau On Monday, an Air India Airbus 320 flight veered off the runway as it landed during heavy rainfall at Mumbai International Airport, partially damaging the underside of one of the plane's engines and leading to a temporary runway closure. The flight had flown from Kochi in the southern state of Kerala. The airline said in a statement that all passengers and crew members disembarked safely and the aircraft was grounded for checks. In another incident, an Air India flight from Hong Kong had a fire in its auxiliary power unit Tuesday while passengers were exiting the aircraft after it landed in New Delhi. 4 An Air India passenger plane bound for London crashed shortly after takeoff from Ahmedabad on Thursday, June 12. Storyful 'The auxiliary power unit was automatically shut down as per system design. There was some damage to the aircraft, however, passengers and crew members disembarked normally, and are safe,' the airline said. Its statement added the aircraft was grounded for investigation and the aviation safety regulator notified. Indian conglomerate Tata Sons took over Air India in 2022, returning the debt-saddled national carrier to private ownership after decades of government control. 4 A video grab from the footage shows a London-bound passenger jet carrying more than 240 people, including 53 Brits, crashing shortly after take-off in India. Newslions / SWNS The $2.4 billion deal was seen as the government's effort to sell off a loss-making, state-run businesses. It also was in some ways a homecoming for Air India, which was launched by the Tata family in 1932. Since the takeover, Air India has ordered hundreds of new planes worth more than $70 billion, redesigned its branding and livery and absorbed smaller airlines that Tata held stakes in. The company additionally has committed millions of dollars to digital overhauls of aircrafts and refurbishing interiors of more than five dozen legacy planes.

The 3 Factors to Watch in Alphabet's (GOOGL) Q2 Earnings Call
Alphabet (GOOGL) has been stuck in a tight trading range all year. However, its upcoming Q2 earnings report, set to be published after tomorrow's close, could provide the big moment investors have been waiting for. Conversely, it could exacerbate some fears among market participants, such as a theoretical decline in organic click-through traffic because of alternative artificial intelligence (AI) solutions like OpenAI's ChatGPT or self-cannibalization from Google's own ' AI Overviews.' Elevate Your Investing Strategy: Take advantage of TipRanks Premium at 50% off! Unlock powerful investing tools, advanced data, and expert analyst insights to help you invest with confidence. For investors, there are three key areas to watch tomorrow, and given the confluence of factors in those areas, I'm confidently Bullish on Alphabet heading into tomorrow's keenly anticipated figures. AI Overviews Can Shift from Innovation to Threat The most significant near-term threat to Alphabet's advertising dominance may be self-inflicted. At the center of the debate are AI Overviews—AI-generated summaries now appearing at the top of many Google search results. Alphabet maintains that these enhanced results monetize at rates comparable to traditional search. However, independent data paints a more skeptical picture, raising concerns that AI Overviews satisfy user intent too effectively, reducing the need to scroll or click through to external sites. While Alphabet is diversified, Google Search still accounts for well over half of its total revenue. To mitigate the risk, AI Overviews are currently limited mostly to informational queries. And in theory, Alphabet can dial them back or remove them entirely. Still, the risk is subtle and systemic: if fewer users engage with organic content, advertisers may see diminished value, and over time, the overall quality of content on the open web could erode. Google Cloud's Ascent and the $75 Billion Bet Meanwhile, Alphabet's newer growth engine, Google Cloud, continues its impressive ascent. Recall that in its first quarter 2025 earnings report, Google Cloud revenues soared 28% to $12.3 billion, according to TipRanks data. The performance increased Alphabet's market share from 11% to 12% in Q1, although it remains behind Microsoft (MSFT) and Amazon (AMZN), which command 22% and 29% of the cloud market share, respectively. Alphabet now faces a supply-side challenge: demand for its AI-optimized infrastructure is outpacing its current buildout capacity, introducing uncertainty around short-term revenue and contributing to expected quarterly volatility. In response, the company plans to invest $75 billion in capital expenditures to expand its infrastructure—primarily servers and data centers—to meet this surging demand. Of course, this surge in capital expenditures weighs on free cash flow and could slow the pace of stock buybacks (~$15 billion every quarter) and future dividend growth. Still, many view it as the 'cost of admission' to compete at scale in AI. With its custom TPU silicon and growing investment in vertical integration, Alphabet is laying the foundation for long-term AI dominance. GOOGL Navigates Global Regulatory Gauntlet Lastly, Alphabet continues to navigate a complicated global regulatory landscape. The second half of 2025 may feature major decisions in antitrust cases in both the U.S. and Europe. In the U.S., Alphabet is facing increasing pressure from the Department of Justice (DOJ), which is advocating for remedies that could fundamentally alter its business structure. For instance, the DOJ is making a case for 'choice screens,' which would require Google to display a selection screen for users to choose a default search engine on devices and browsers. There is also a threat that Google may have to divest Chrome entirely. Overseas, Alphabet is facing allegations that it is not in compliance with the European Union's Digital Markets Act (DMA). The primary concern surrounds 'self-preferencing,' wherein Google, allegedly, favors its specialized services (i.e., Google Hotels) over rival services in search results, which is illegal. Is GOOGL Stock a Buy, Sell, or Hold? On Wall Street, GOOGL carries a Strong Buy consensus rating based on 30 Buy, nine Hold, and zero Sell ratings in the past three months. GOOGL's average stock price target of $205.71 implies an upside potential of 8.2% over the next twelve months. Last week, Needham analyst Laura Martin maintained a Buy rating on GOOGL stock with an accompanying price target of $210. In a research note, the analyst emphasized that Google Search, Android, and Google Cloud have been major beneficiaries of significant technological waves, including the internet, mobile, and cloud technology waves, respectively. Additionally, she anticipates that GOOGL's Gemini will be a leading player in the emerging GenAI tech wave. GOOGL Stock Appears Undervalued Amid Structural Uncertainty GOOGL's underperformance over the past year—despite solid fundamentals, such as strong revenue growth and expanding margins—can largely be attributed to deep-rooted structural uncertainties. As a result, the stock appears to be trading at a discount. For instance, Alphabet's forward P/E of 20.6 aligns with the sector median, despite boasting far superior forward revenue growth (11.81% vs. 3.41%) and gross profit margins (58.59% vs. 53.21%). If Alphabet can effectively address these concerns, some of the pressure weighing on the stock could lift. The situation surrounding AI Overviews feels reminiscent of Meta's (META) pivot into the metaverse—an ambitious move that was eventually scaled back after investors punished the stock. However, Alphabet's initiative is more of a defensive evolution of its core product, not a speculative leap into uncharted territory. If the strategy underperforms, Alphabet retains the flexibility to pivot quickly. Given this context—and considering Alphabet's continued dominance in digital advertising along with its growing momentum in the cloud space—I remain Bullish on the stock's long-term prospects.

From tech podcasts to policy: Trump's new AI plan leans heavily on Silicon Valley industry ideas
An artificial intelligence agenda that started coalescing on the podcasts of Silicon Valley billionaires is now being forged into U.S. policy as President Donald Trump leans on the ideas of the tech figures who backed his election campaign. Trump on Wednesday is planning to reveal an 'AI Action Plan' he ordered after returning to the White House in January. He gave his tech advisers six months to come up with new AI policies after revoking President Joe Biden's signature AI guardrails on his first day in office. The unveiling is co-hosted by the bipartisan Hill and Valley Forum and the All-In Podcast, a business and technology show hosted by four tech investors and entrepreneurs who include Trump's AI czar, David Sacks. The plan and related executive orders are expected to include some familiar tech lobby pitches. That includes accelerating the sale of AI technology abroad and making it easier to construct the energy-hungry data center buildings that are needed to form and run AI products, according to a person briefed on Wednesday's event who was not authorized to speak publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity. It might also include some of the AI culture war preoccupations of the circle of venture capitalists who endorsed Trump last year. Countering the liberal bias they see in AI chatbots such as ChatGPT or Google's Gemini has long been a rallying point for the tech industry's loudest Trump backers. Sacks, a former PayPal executive and now Trump's top AI adviser, has been criticizing 'woke AI' for more than a year, fueled by Google's February 2024 rollout of an AI image generator that, when asked to show an American Founding Father, created pictures of Black, Latino and Native American men. 'The AI's incapable of giving you accurate answers because it's been so programmed with diversity and inclusion,' Sacks said at the time. Google quickly fixed its tool, but the 'Black George Washington' moment remained a parable for the problem of AI's perceived political bias, taken up by X owner Elon Musk, venture capitalist Marc Andreessen, Vice President JD Vance and Republican lawmakers. The administration's latest push against 'woke AI' comes a week after the Pentagon announced new $200 million contracts with four leading AI companies, including Google, to address 'critical national security challenges.' Also receiving one of the contracts was Musk's xAI, which has been pitched as an alternative to 'woke AI' companies. The company has faced its own challenges: Earlier this month, xAI had to scramble to remove posts made by its Grok chatbot that made antisemitic comments and praised Adolf Hitler. Trump has paired AI's need for huge amounts of electricity with his own push to tap into U.S. energy sources, including gas, coal and nuclear. 'Everything we aspire to and hope for means the demand and supply of energy in America has to go up,' said Michael Kratsios, the director of the White House's Office of Science and Technology Policy, in a video posted Tuesday. Many tech giants are already well on their way toward building new data centers in the U.S. and around the world. OpenAI announced this week that it has switched on the first phase of a massive data center complex in Abilene, Texas, part of an Oracle-backed project known as Stargate that Trump promoted earlier this year. Amazon, Microsoft, Meta and xAI also have major projects underway. The tech industry has pushed for easier permitting rules to get their computing facilities connected to power, but the AI building boom has also contributed to spiking demand for fossil fuel production that will contribute to global warming. United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres on Tuesday called on the world's major tech firms to power data centers completely with renewables by 2030. 'A typical AI data center eats up as much electricity as 100,000 homes,' Guterres said. 'By 2030, data centers could consume as much electricity as all of Japan does today.' It's long been White House policy under Republican and Democratic administrations to curtail certain technology exports to China and other adversaries on national security grounds. But much of the tech industry argued that Biden went too far at the end of his term in trying to restrict the exports of specialized AI computer chips to more than 100 other countries, including close allies. Part of the Biden administration's motivation was to stop China from acquiring coveted AI chips in third-party locations such as Southeast Asia or the Middle East, but critics said the measures would end up encouraging more countries to turn to China's fast-growing AI industry instead of the U.S. as their technology supplier. It remains to be seen how the Trump administration aims to accelerate the export of U.S.-made AI technologies while countering China's AI ambitions. California chipmakers Nvidia and AMD both announced last week that they won approval from the Trump administration to sell to China some of their advanced computer chips used to develop artificial intelligence. AMD CEO Lisa Su is among the guests planning to attend Trump's event Wednesday. There are sharp debates on how to regulate AI, even among the influential venture capitalists who have been debating it on their favorite medium: the podcast. While some Trump backers, particularly Andreessen, have advocated an 'accelerationist' approach that aims to speed up AI advancement with minimal regulation, Sacks has described himself as taking a middle road of techno-realism. 'Technology is going to happen. Trying to stop it is like ordering the tides to stop. If we don't do it, somebody else will,' Sacks said on the All-In podcast. On Tuesday, 95 groups including labor unions, parent groups, environmental justice organizations and privacy advocates signed a resolution opposing Trump's embrace of industry-driven AI policy and calling for a 'People's AI Action Plan' that would 'deliver first and foremost for the American people.' Amba Kak, co-executive director of the AI Now Institute, which helped lead the effort, said the coalition expects Trump's plan to come 'straight from Big Tech's mouth.' 'Every time we say, 'What about our jobs, our air, water, our children?' they're going to say, 'But what about China?'' she said in a call with reporters Tuesday. She said Americans should reject the White House's argument that the industry is overregulated and fight to preserve 'baseline protections for the public' as AI technology advances.
