Nothing's Phone 3 Really Goes Full-On Anti-iPhone, Huh?
After a seemingly never-ending drip of leaks and teases, Nothing's Phone 3 is finally here, along with what's shaping up to be a divisive new aesthetic. The eye-catching Android phone, which was unveiled during a London launch event on Tuesday, will cost $799 and is being billed as the company's 'first true flagship.' To sell its premium package, Nothing is leaning into a new triple camera system, a refreshed design, and a circular Glyph 'Matrix' display that, honestly, looks pretty damn fun. Let's start with the thing that sells almost every flagship phone out there: the camera system. The Phone 3, as you may have noticed, includes three different sensors this time around. All three of the rear cameras—main, ultrawide, and periscope zoom—are 50 megapixels. The most notable addition here is the periscope zoom camera, which was also included in the Phone 3a Pro. Luckily, unlike the Phone 3a Pro—which weirdly released before the Phone 3—the inclusion of a periscope camera doesn't necessitate a huge, annoying camera bump. Don't get me wrong, the lens still protrudes a bit, but nowhere near the amount of its predecessor. If you're unfamiliar with periscope cameras, all you need to know is that these puppies can zoom. Specifically, you can get up to 6x lossless zoom or 60x zoom with the help of AI. I haven't used the Phone 3 yet, but probably the biggest hangup I have on the surface is that the periscope camera is misaligned, which makes it look a little, uh, odd on the back of the phone. I suspect this will piss some people off, but others won't really care that much. I guess if Nothing's camera system works well for the price, then it'll be easy to forgive any design weirdness. Beyond the camera, I think the most notable feature is the Glyph Interface—er, sorry, the Glyph Matrix aka that big ol' circle at the top-right of the phone that can display all sorts of fun stuff. It's like the Glyph Interface but in dot matrix form, and it looks like a fun gimmick. According to Nothing, the Glyph Matrix does a lot of the same stuff as the Glyph Interface (the LED light strips on the back of the Phone 1 and 2) and some additional stuff, too. Nothing says that the Glyph Matrix is made up of 489 'individually firing LEDs' and can display all sorts of information, including caller ID, volume levels, and camera countdown. It also still does regular timers, a solar clock, and (my favorite) a couple of fun games that include rock, paper, scissors, and spin the bottle. To cycle through all those functions, Nothing also included a dedicated button on the back of the phone that it aptly calls the 'Glyph Button.' I love buttons, but I hope it works more smoothly than the buttons on its also brand-new Headphone 1. Nothing also said in its announcement video of the Phone 3 that it's opening up SDKs to developers, so the use of the Glyph Matrix may also expand in the future (if anyone actually cares enough to build stuff for it, that is). Inside the Phone 3 is also an almost flagship-level processor—Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8S Gen 4. That's the same chip found inside phones like Poco's F7 5G and Xiaomi's Redmi Turbo 4 Pro. It's a step up from the chips used in the Phone 3a and 3a Pro, which both come with Snapdragon 7S Gen 3. I've said it before, and I'll probably say it 1,000 times, but phone chips are at a point where—unless you're a hardcore mobile gamer or something—the newest generation isn't always super critical. If you're browsing the web, taking photos, and streaming video, like most of us, then you're probably not going to notice a huge difference with gen-over-gen chips. I use an iPhone 13 on a daily basis, and it still works… fine. I'm going to assume that the Phone 3 is the same story, but I won't know until I try it for myself. Phone (3) is here. Come to Play. Pre-order yours. 4 July. — Nothing (@nothing) July 1, 2025The design may be the most controversial part of the Phone 3. Instead of the kind of smooth, easy-going look of the Phone 1 and Phone 2, the Phone 3 opts for a rigid, block-like vibe on its backplate. I'm still on the fence and am suspending judgment until I see this thing in person, but it definitely looks very similar to the Phone 3a. For the first time, I think I actually prefer the black version of this phone, but again, I want to see it IRL before I jump to conclusions. On paper, the Phone 3 looks like a solid upgrade over the Phone 2 and, to no one's surprise, pushes new AI features like Essential Space, which is now out of early access. Whether the phone rises to the 'true flagship' positioning remains to be seen. Just like with the Headphone 1, the Phone 3 takes a shot at something different. Nothing has so far succeeded in shaking things up just enough to justify its mission of 'making tech fun again.' If you're all-in, you can preorder the Phone 3 starting July 4, and open availability starts on July 15. Orders will be available through and 'select partpartners,cording to Nothing.

Nasdaq tops NYSE in 2025 IPO race with $21.3 billion in listings
Nasdaq handily beat the New York Stock Exchange in stock market listings during the first half of 2025, buoyed by blockbuster initial public offerings of big names like CoreWeave CRWV.O and Chime CHYM.O and a jump in proceeds raised via special purpose acquisition companies. IPOs at Nasdaq NDAQ.O, including those of blank-check acquisition companies, raised about $21.3 billion during the first half, compared with $8.7 billion for flotations at the NYSE ICE.N, according to data from Dealogic. Excluding SPAC volumes, traditional IPOs on the Nasdaq raised roughly $9 billion from 79 deals, while 15 IPOs on NYSE raised about $7.8 billion. Last year during the same period, Nasdaq IPOs had raised about $6.1 billion, while shares worth $11.5 billion were sold from IPOs on NYSE. Stock market launches dropped off sharply during the April market selloff that was driven by erratic U.S. trade policy, but Wall Street has since recovered and companies are starting to rush back to seek listings. "We felt this year had an opportunity to be good - and then we had enormous volatility to start the year, so companies across the board had to go pencils down," Nasdaq President Nelson Griggs told Reuters. "Clearly now, with the market rebound we've had after a very strong May, companies are back having those discussions. If the next round (of companies) does well, I think you're going to really see some excitement for the fall," Griggs added. More financial markets: Stocks usually rise by 10% a year. Those days may be over. The Nasdaq Composite .IXIC and S&P 500 .SPX reached record closing highs on Monday, capping their best quarter in more than a year. With its first-half listings performance, Nasdaq maintained its stranglehold at the top of the rankings. The exchange operator has led the IPO rankings ahead of NYSE during the better part of the past decade, including the last six years, according to Dealogic. The market share battle between the two top U.S. exchanges and the improving outlook for stock market listings follows an arid spell for capital markets that lasted for more than two years. Several big names, including medical supply giant Medline and design software maker Figma are gearing up for IPOs later this year. Liquefied natural gas exporter Venture Global's VG.N $1.75 billion share sale, CoreWeave's $1.5 billion raise, and cybersecurity firm SailPoint's SAIL.O $1.38 billion offering ranked as the biggest U.S. IPOs during the first half. "The largest IPO YTD is listed on the NYSE. We anticipate that issuance for the remainder of the year will continue to be active," NYSE Global Head of Capital Markets Michael Harris said. High-profile switches Both exchanges have been beneficiaries of large corporations transferring listings from one venue to the other. This year, Nasdaq has received a boost from high-profile switches including those of Kleenex tissue maker Kimberly-Clark KMB.O and content and technology company Thomson Reuters the parent company of Reuters News. Nasdaq said 10 companies with a combined market value of $271.4 billion have switched from the NYSE this year, the best first-half performance for the exchange operator since it started tracking the data from 2006. NYSE was buoyed by transfers from five companies including financial services firm Virtu VIRT.N, CSW Industrials CSW.N, and building products distributor QXO QXO.N in the first half. Some companies that transferred from NYSE to Nasdaq this year cited the attractiveness of the Nasdaq-100 index .NDX - which includes 100 of the most valuable non-financial companies listed on the Nasdaq, including the likes of Nvidia NVDA.O and Apple AAPL.O - as being a key driver for the decision to switch. The Nasdaq 100 has risen nearly 8% this year, compared to the S&P 500 .SPX, which has climbed about 5.5% year-to-date. "We realized very quickly that Nasdaq had something that was very compelling - if you are in the Nasdaq and you meet the threshold for the market cap, you can be part of the Nasdaq-100, a great index to be a member of," said Juan Pelaez, vice-president of investor relations at chemicals company Linde LIN.O, which switched to Nasdaq in 2023. The rivalry between Nasdaq and NYSE has played a big role in making U.S. capital markets more attractive for investors, compared to other markets like Hong Kong and London, which currently have only one venue for flotations, according to experts.

Is Rubrik Stock a Buy, Sell, or Hold for July 2025?
Rubrik (RBRK) is an under-the-radar cyber resilience leader that just announced a game-changing $100 million acquisition of AI startup Predibase. With this acquisition, Rubrik aims to accelerate the adoption of enterprise AI agents, promising faster, more cost-effective, and more secure AI deployments for its customers. But will this high-stakes AI bet propel Rubrik to the front of the cybersecurity pack — or is the market getting ahead of itself? As Rubrik stock hovers near its highs, is Rubrik a buy, sell, or hold for July 2025? Let's find out! Is Palantir Stock a Buy, Sell, or Hold for July 2025? Is Archer Aviation Stock a Buy, Sell, or Hold for July 2025? Oklo Just Announced a New Nuclear Fuel Deal. Is OKLO Stock a Buy Here? Tired of missing midday reversals? The FREE Barchart Brief newsletter keeps you in the know. Sign up now! Rubrik (RBRK) is a comprehensive cyber resilience company, specializing in data protection, backup and recovery solutions, and advanced security analytics. The Palo Alto-based company went public in 2024 and has quickly established itself as a formidable player in the enterprise data security space, serving customers across cloud and on-premise environments with its machine learning-powered platform. The stock has delivered a remarkable performance, trading in a 52-week range of $28.60 to $103. Its shares have posted an impressive year-to-date gain of about 30% and a staggering 52-week gain of nearly 185%. Rubrik delivered impressive first-quarter 2025 results that significantly exceeded Wall Street expectations. The company reported revenue of $278.5 million, representing a robust 49% year-over-year increase and surpassing analyst estimates of $260.4 million by 7%. Even more noteworthy, Rubrik posted an earnings per share loss of $0.15, substantially better than the expected loss of $0.32. The company's subscription-focused business model continues to gain traction, with subscription revenue reaching $265.7 million, up 54% year-over-year. Annual recurring revenue (ARR) hit $1.181 billion, growing 38% year-over-year and exceeding consensus estimates. Perhaps most encouraging for long-term investors, Rubrik achieved positive free cash flow of $33 million, demonstrating improving operational efficiency. Rubrik's growth strategy centers on strategic acquisitions that enhance its AI capabilities and expand its cyber resilience platform. On June 25, the company announced its agreement to acquire Predibase, an AI startup specializing in generative AI model fine-tuning, for a reported range between $100 million and $500 million. This acquisition positions Rubrik to accelerate customer AI agent adoption through integration with major cloud platforms including Amazon Bedrock, Azure OpenAI, and Google Agentspace. Earlier in 2025, Rubrik also acquired DevOps security vendor BackRightUp, expanding its capabilities in code repository protection and DevOps data security. Four months post-integration, the acquisition has shown positive results, supporting Rubrik's 'Code to Cloud' cyber resilience strategy and strengthening its position in protecting development lifecycle data. Also in June 2025, Rubrik successfully raised $1 billion through a convertible senior notes offering. The company plans to use the net proceeds of approximately $980 million for debt repayment, future acquisitions, and general corporate purposes, providing significant financial flexibility for continued growth initiatives. This capital raise positions Rubrik with substantial resources to pursue additional strategic acquisitions and expand its AI-powered cyber resilience capabilities in a rapidly consolidating market. Looking ahead, analysts project continued improvement in Rubrik's earnings. For the current quarter, the average earnings estimate stands at a loss $0.71 per share, showing a projected 26.80% improvement compared to the prior-year loss of $0.97. The next quarter is expected to see further improvement with an estimated loss of $0.66, narrowed from $0.70. Analysts are very optimistic about Rubrik's future, with 21 analysts surveyed giving it a consensus 'Strong Buy' rating. The average price target is approximately $108, which implies about 27% upside from its current price. Based on its financial performance, strategic positioning, and market opportunity, the stock presents a compelling buy opportunity for investors seeking exposure to the rapidly growing cybersecurity industry. Personally, I believe Rubrik shares are headed higher over the next 6-12 months. The company's strong Q1 2025 results, strategic acquisitions that enhance AI capabilities, and a $1 billion war chest for continued expansion create a favorable risk-reward profile. While the stock has already had a nice run, the 27% upside implied by analyst targets feels achievable given the company's execution track record and the massive tailwinds in cybersecurity.
